Getting The Most From Your Home Stereo

February 11, 2010 by Chris

There have been many advances in home sound-systems over the years. From the days of all crowding around the radio to catch the odd note, to blasting out tunes that can cause earthquakes. Volume isn’t everything however, and recently people have been striving better for usability and sound quality. So what are the most important developments and gadgets in modern home sound provision?

Wireless Speakers.These are by no means a new invention but until now the quality of them has left a lot to be desired. Wireless speakers enable you to play music wherever in the house and garden, without being restrained by wires. They are perfect for parties where you can play music in every room without having lots of different tunes playing and the annoying disruption this causes.

Super Sub Woofers. For those of you who don’t know, a sub woofer is the part of a sound system that provides the base. It has previously been that case that the larger the sub-woofer, the larger the base that it can produce, which has always been an issue for car owners who have wanted their vehicles to sound like a live concert in happening inside.  The newest subwoofers however take up about half as much room as their bigger brothers, but produce the same bass power, making them perfect for transporting around or fitting in your room without being intrusive. If you are brave, you could even hook one up to your stereo and use it as a very effective alarm clock.

Surround Sound.  No true music fan can go back to listening to mono sound once they have experienced surround sound.This is achieved by placing speakers all around a room, but additionally different elements of the sound are played through different speakers, making them all very clear. The sound then combines in the middle of the room to give an unmatched audio sensation.Although surround sound has been available to the mass-markets for almost two decades, so many people are yet to embrace the technology and get the most out of their sound.

    I bought an LG home theater. it lacks wireless! (seriously i miss it).. the HT 303 SU is decent in the sound and even in the high ceiling room it doesn’t create much echo!

    I agree. These days if you don’t have a surround sound setup of some sort, you are lost in time. lol

    There are many ways to go about having a quaility sound system. The best way, by far, is to slowly build your setup a few pieces at a time and use quality components. Do it right the first time and your speakers will literally last a lifetime.

    Those “HTIB” sets just won’t quite give you the same feeling or emotional connection to a movie or your music as a nice set of bookshelves or some floorstanding speakers that can extend down to 40 Hz. Hook them up to decent receiver that can decode the latest sound codecs (Dolby TrueHD, DTS Master, etc.) and you’re in digital surround heaven!

    I can’t remeber the last time I actually went to a movie theater. lol
