What's the Deal With Surround Sound Receivers, Do I no ifs ands or buts Need One?

Home Theater Receiver

I am a self-confessed audio and home theater addict that has discovered the joys of cinema capability movies in my own home. Now that's out of the way the query is, why do you want a home cinema set-up? After all, isn't home theater nothing more than slightly best capability audio for your Tv programs, that incidentally don't have a particularly good capability audio feed anyway?

A few years ago I would have said that was true, but then along came a not insignificant invention in the form of high-definition television. Now as far as I'm involved the unlikeness it makes to have a high-definition television has to be seen to be believed, it's hard to explain to somebody that hasn't seen the technology just how clear and crisp and altogether more arresting the photograph is.

Originally any way there were very few channels that took benefit of the high-definition Tvs that were available, the technology was ahead of the content. But now everything is changing, very often the major channels will also have a Hd equivalent, and even the smaller broadcasters are now starting to get in on the act. Not to mention the way that Hd ready and full Hd televisions are arrival down in price dramatically. Add to this Blu-ray and high-quality Dvd movies and it becomes plain to see that there are a large amount of high-definition sources now available.

So if we have manufacture that Hd content is growing rapidly and is facilely available then admittedly it stands to speculate that if you're watching movies in the best optical capability possible, do you not want the same to be true of the sound?

One of the first things you notice when you go to the movies, is the explosive volume arrival at you in peaks and troughs as a storyline unfolds. The sound hitting you from all directions and the size of the large screen. All of this combines to get you totally immersed in the film. The best way I can chronicle a home theater setup is to say that when done correctly you can touch that exact same frill whilst sitting in your own home. No more paying extortionate fees at the concession stand, just get the whole house on the sofa or invite your friends colse to for movie nights and have the same experience. It's not even anti-social, my kids think it's great to watch a movie with their friends whilst I nuke the popcorn.

A common misconception is that home theater is expensive and yes, it can be. But the same is true of any hobby if you take it too extremes, for example knitting with wool or knitting with Kashmir, the latter being considerably more expensive. Any amount of affordable options are open to the first time buyer these days, starting with sub 0 all inclusive cinema in a box type packages, which comprise a surround sound receiver and multi-channel speaker ideas in one package. Stand alone components that allow you to tailor a ideas to your specific requirements are also very uncostly priced. Companies like Denon, Yamaha and Onkyo have whole ranges to suit every budget. I personally like independent components that allow you leisure of selection over the speakers and receiver that you choose. The point I am production here is that it's not ridiculously expensive anymore, so don't let cost put you off.

So it's not super expensive, you probably have a favorable Tv already to start your ideas off and you can have great times socially. Getting into the home theater club is something that nobody I know has regretted, Ok it won't change the planet, but it can all the time help to brighten up one microscopic angle of your personal world.
