This guide will discuss different options if you're looking for new speakers for your home theater.
The first is the 5.1 surround sound which consists of 5 speakers and a subwoofer. There's also a center speaker as well as the subwoofer. Floor standing speakers are the most traditional style speakers and to this day still remain quite popular. Bookshelf speakers are the smaller option, compared to floor standing speakers. I've seen some great bookshelf speakers, so by no mean are they poor (typically they don't deliver sounds like floor speakers). If you don't like the large speakers in the room, there's always the custom option of ceiling speakers or in-wall speakers. Speaker wire is often disregarded as an important part of the system. Old wires or low-grade speaker wire can definitely degrade the quality of sound.
