Home theater speaker systems have improved greatly in the last 20 years. Technology has come a long way, and so have the components to these systems: metals replaced with plastics, and components that were once very large are now very small. Twin upright units were the norm back in the'80's -- which had everything they needed right in the speakers themselves.
Now we see setups with five to seven components and a sometimes very small subwoofer that produces drywall-shattering lows. Combine that with all of the choices you have today for your audio hardware -- receivers, DVD players and equalizers among some of them -- and setting up your new home theater can become very stressful.
One of the most popular trends today is to package complete home theater speaker systems in one box. This is great for anyone looking to save time, money, and possible incompatibility issues. Some of these 'out-of-the-box' packages also include DVD players which double as receivers and equalizers, with pre-programmed sound fields; such as 'Stadium', 'Arena', or 'Games''.
These packaged components are available for nearly every size room imaginable, from dorm rooms to spacious living areas. The more wattage one of these sets produces means the larger an area you can use it in. Another thing to consider is the physical location and mounting. Some manufacturers will provide you with speaker stands so that you don't have to drill into or otherwise modify the walls -- a great point if you are renting.
Do you need a five-speaker system, with a center channel and rear channel speakers? This is another point to consider. You have to set your rear speakers up in a way that might not be possible with your current room layout. If this is a problem for you, you may want to consider more expensive systems that include a single speaker, which gives the entire surround sound experience right from its box. You can also find this technology in the two front channel speakers of some manufacturers.
These kits sound great right out of the box, and need very little setup. You can find one to fit nearly any room size, and they sound great. You will also find that many models are upgradeable, so you do not have to stick with the same old speakers year after year.
The most attractive aspect of the all-in-one speaker systems, however, is the price. All the features, quality, and enjoyment of much higher priced items can be had altogether for a decent price. If you purchase a high definition television, getting home theater systems at the same time will seem like little to no money at all. With these speakers, you can make the action scenes and music in the movies you love sound like they are right in your living room, and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. - 29943
