Home Theater & Stereo Systems

When it comes to high-quality, theater-like viewing, the visuals are only part of the experience. Even if you have a large TV or a home theater projector with excellent resolution, you won’t feel fully immersed in your movie until you have an audio system that envelopes you in the soundscape of what you’re watching.

Many people think that basic home theater system consists of a TV or projector and projector screen, a streaming media player or a Blu-ray player. However, leaving out quality audio can impact the viewing experience significantly. Therefore, it is necessary to plan for good sound by including quality speakers. You can choose a simple soundbar arrangement, or run your sound through a receiver to build a more complete surround sound system.

Along with the obvious benefit of creating the ideal atmosphere for enjoying movies and video games, your home stereo system can also expand your music-listening capabilities when you host parties and want to provide the ultimate playlist as a source of entertainment.

Start by looking at the size and layout of your room to decide which components will work in your home theater room. You should also consider your budget. Because there are a plethora of brands and price points, creating the best home theater system for you doesn’t have to cost more than you can afford.

Perhaps your setup is best realized by a sleek soundbar that fits discretely under your wall-mounted television. Or maybe you want five speakers positioned strategically around the room. If so, ask yourself whether you will need the speakers to be wall-mounted or whether speaker stands could provide the sound configuration you want.

Increasingly, wireless speakers are the preferred choice for stereo systems because they involve much less mess and hassle. If you end up tackling the setup process yourself, you’ll want to have HDMI cables on hand. If installation seems intimidating, you can rely on Best Buy’s home audio experts to provide you with the TV and home theater services you need. Before you know it, you’ll be enjoying the best home stereo system you’ve ever had the pleasure of owning.
