When looking for home theater surround sound speakers, many people question if there is any difference between a home theater surround sound system and standard home stereo speakers. We’ll try to consider the basic differences in a brief fashion.
The difference between speakers in a home theater surround sound system and bookshelf speakers or tower speakers are quite evident when you just place them side by side. In many ways, size does matter in the question of sound quality. The standard stereo bookshelf speakers and three-way tower or floor speakers have a good\decent size woofer included in the speaker enclosure. Today’s surround sound speakers produce excellent quality mid and high frequencies but do not have the capability of producing any bass. This explains why all standard surround sound speaker systems require a good powered subwoofer to produce those lows and the many sound effects from our DVD’s.
Music lovers will always want to enjoy their old favorite CD’s as well as the sound tracks from their new DVD. The best way to do this is to expand upon basic home theater sound systems. The smaller satellite style speakers which average anywhere from three to six inches across do an excellent job for side and rear positions in a 5.1 or 71. surround sound setup. You can upgrade the sound for music by replacing those front channels with bookshelf speakers. Old style bookshelf speakers can’t be beat for upgrading standard satellite speakers. Most surround sound systems will include a home theater subwoofer and the addition of bookshelf speakers or floor standing speakers will make a world of difference.
A good home theater 7.1 system might serve you well for home theater. When spending a substantial amount of money to recreate the live performance experience, you really should pay close attention to the quality of home speakers and components you select. Don’t forget the old saying: “you get what you pay for.” This is especially true in the field of home audio speakers. Most are very happy with JBL bookshelf speakers in their home theater and home audio systems. In the majority of situations, you can make a good sounding surround sound system sound great by upgrading those front channel speakers.
