How To

What is the best sound system for me?

There are three main factors you need to think about when choosing speakers for your home entertainment system. First, consider how much money you can afford. Second, where will the speakers be placed? What kind of music do your listen to?

The most common mistake people make when purchasing audio equipment is thinking that bigger equals better. In reality, the size of the speaker cabinet doesn't matter nearly as much as its ability to reproduce low frequencies accurately. A larger speaker cabinet is better for classical music than for other genres. The bass notes will require more power. You might prefer a smaller cabinet if you listen to rap, rock, and pop music.

Another misconception is that high-end speakers necessarily mean higher quality. Higher prices are often associated with better materials and engineering. But, this misconception is not necessarily true. Low-quality products may contain inferior components such as drivers that can cause distortion and lower volume levels. This could lead to an unpleasant experience.

Also, you shouldn't be too concerned about the amplifier being used to drive your speakers. Some amplifiers were made specifically for hi fi systems while others were designed for stereo applications. You can even find amplifiers that are specifically designed for car stereos.

Placement is important. Speakers should not be placed under the TV screen. It will block out your view and reduce the overall volume. Instead, place them in front of the TV, close to the ceiling. This way, you can enjoy maximum volume without straining your ears.

Finally, you should consider your musical tastes and choose the best speaker for you. For example, if you listen mainly to classical music, you may want to buy bookshelf speakers. These speakers often have a long throwwoofer which allows the sound to travel farther. These speakers can be too bulky and heavy for small rooms.
