Enjoyment personified is from having your own home theater system which delivers almost perfect sound and vision. But wait, didn't we all think similar things years ago when we first were introduced to stereo? Haven't times changed, what we didn't know didn't hurt us, but now we know we have superior sound available and we all want it.

Those days are gone forever. Speakers come in all sizes and volumes and are placed discreetly around your entertainment room. When watching a movie, the traffic noise from the show may come from the right while the chilling scream sounds behind you. The racing ambulance appears on the right side of the projection screen you are viewing and you hear it coming from your right. As the vehicle arrives at the accident scene you hear the movement as the sound coming from the right...goes across the room in front of you and then to the left.

Looking back and remembering the speakers of yesteryear there was a though process in those days that centered around the larger the speaker the better the sound system. Those thoughts have been replaced by a more sophisticated system that delivers surround sound from more speakers, but smaller and less obtrusive. The top end speaker systems have been much smaller than their commercial counterparts who were just catering to the public perception that bigger is better.

If designing a speaker system for a home theater system, there are wide choices in style, quality and price. For this application, surround sound is the way to go. The original surround sound products were meant to be as invisible as possible. New versions are styled to be attractive and become a part of the decor of your home theater.

You can find differing pricing depending on the quality of the speakers for a home theater system you want to own. At the lower end of the market you would expect to pay from $300 to $600 and the pricing rises with the quality.
