Selecting the Right Home Theater Equipment

Ah!! There’s not much like the thrill of seeing the latest Hollywood blockbuster on the big screen! Excitement fills the air as the house lights dim. The low murmur from the speakers begins to rise and surround you as the sounds permeate the theater from back to front, left to right- adding a bit of vibrating excitement from the tips of your toes up to top of your head. Every hair on your body stands up on end. This experience can be recreated in your very own home, as long as you have the right home theater equipment.

A DVD player is mandatory, as the output of such a device is over 500 horizontal lines of resolution compared to just 200 lines on a VHS tape for a VCR. Prices for these players can run from $30 to $250 or more depending on the amount of extra doodads you want to have. DVD players can also play the majority of music CD’s, therefore alleviating the need for a separate system.

The television in most home theaters is one of the widescreen models, as the majority of DVD’s are created in this particular format to imitate the theaters, but you can play DVD’s on any type of screen. Most new televisions larger than 27” diagonally are made only as widescreen sets, including those in the three main types of sets sold for home theaters: flat-panel, rear-projection and front-projection in plasma, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and HDTV (High Definition Television).

Some useful information for picking out the perfect television: Flat-panel TV’s come in nearly every size and run between $700 and $10,000; rear-projections are typically 42” and up to about 70”, and will cost between $1,000 and $5,000. Front-projections with High Definition start at $1,500 and head upward, but require a very dark room for a decent picture. LCD is best for a light room, while Plasma TVs have darker darks and richer tones to create a better overall experience.

There are ideally 5 speakers in a home theater- a large one to place above or on top of the television, one smaller one to each side of the TV, and one at each rear “corner” of the room. Basically, the four smaller speakers should be in the corners of a square or rectangle that creates your home theater room. If you have high, slanted or cathedral ceilings, or aren’t thrilled with the idea of drilling holes to suspend the speakers from the ceiling, speaker stands will work just fine. If the stands are chosen properly, as well as the speakers, they can either stand out or blend nicely into your room’s décor. And don’t forget the subwoofer to create the rumbling bass-sound for the echoes of explosions and/or the oncoming entourage of airplanes, as what would a home theater be without those.
