your entertainment show piece is more than simply finding the right television. It's about TV viewing distance, furniture placement and of course, the home theater speaker.

A good home theater speaker can make all the difference to enjoying your little piece of entertainment paradise. Cinema sound is on most people's wish list and undoubtedly, you'll be thinking about a quality sound system.

Naturally, brands such as Bose will spring to mind and with the advancement in technology today, it's normal to want the best. Bose have their Lifestyle 48 Home Entertainment Systems which can set you back almost $4000 while they have other systems such as the Lifestyle V30 and Lifestyle 38 & 35 IV home entertainment systems for about $3000.

Yes, they are excellent sound systems but before you rush out and spend your hard earned cash, you need to understand a little more about the home theater speaker. Do you understand speaker types.

Sub Woofers

The sub woofer is the mainstay of your home theater speakers. The sub woofer is the speaker that takes you to another place, the speaker that allows you to actually physically feel the sound, and the speaker that rumbles your seats when those huge Star Wars battle scenes hit your screen. The sub woofer produces the lowest of audible frequencies in your home theater setup. In other words, the sub woofer handles all the bass.

Then there are your main speakers. They take care of the high end sound. This speaker is responsible for carrying the dialogue or major sounds whereas the other speakers in your surround sound speaker setup will carry the attributing sounds that help bolster the overall effect of having a “wall of sound”.

Placing Your Speakers

We've spoken about TV viewing distance. Speaker placement is vitally important in getting the most from your home theater experience. Always follow the instructions for connections and cable wiring as we wouldn’t want to burn the house down due to improper installation.

Room shape is extremely important. If you've chosen an established room then you may have to consider some modifications but with the help of a quality consultant then you can overcome any issues.The room make up can either help or hinder the effects of your surround sound setup, as with the acoustics of the room.

Test your speakers. Set them up and see if your getting the sound you're looking for. Simply keep moving them around and adjusting them until you're happy with the output you're getting as well as the placement you're looking for.

Here are some important home theater speaker rules you should take note of:

- place the sub woofer near the television either to the right or to the left
- place the front channel (or main speaker channel) directly in front of the listening area. This speaker carries most of the main sound.
- place the left and right main front speakers on the corresponding sides of the front channel. A good idea is to elevate these speakers.

Extra adjustment may be required but remember, it's your home theater experience. Don't set up your speakers to satisfy someone else' taste. It's your ear you should concentrate on so it's you that needs to be satisfied with the end product.

How do I connect my Samsung HT-X40 home theater speakers to my Onkyo Audio Receiver?

I have no clue what type of connection the Samsung HT-X40 home theater speakers are.

All speakers need two wires to work; positive and negative one.

One manufacturer blurp is to tell you this: always connect the positive wire to the postive output on the amplifier and the negative to the negative output on the amplifier respectively. But really, should you?

No! Not necessary! Its main purpose is to prevent 'short circuiting' the speaker and amplifier, which can result in explosion or fire.

That's because as long one wire goes through the positive and the other negative output on the amplifier, the speaker and amplifier should work fine.

Important note though: make sure the speaker impedance is supported by the amplifier and that the speaker supports more than the maximum power supplied by the amplifier.

So, modern theatre speakers have clips so that the two wires seems to be one. Just cut the end of the wire, not so close to the clip so you can always 'reconnect' them in the future, snapped them and separate the two wires so you can easily connect later, and then cut off a small portion of the wire head to expose the internal wiring.

There you go. Your Samsung speakers should now be easily connected via 2-input/output wiring on the Onkyo amplifier.

Again. Make sure the Onkyo support the impedance of the Samsung speaker, cause many modern theatre speakers have super low impedance of 2-4ohms, which on amplifiers that support 8-12ohms, you could be firing up the amplifier with heat which will do permanent damage to it.

Hope it helps.

How do i know if I Am listening in 5.1? Or at least getting the best out of my speaker system?

I have a Pioneer VSX-516 with bose acoustimass 6 series III as a home theater speaker system. The Amp is capable of processing 7.1 but the bose speakers are 5.1(5 speakers, 1 sub). I AM getting the digital signal into the amp. The front left and right speakers and the front center functions just fine. I have 3 problems 1)When i do a THX test (from a DVD movie menu) my back right speaker goes on when only the back left one should. 2)In the back of the amp i have 2 different sections i can put the back channels on (either "sourround back" or "surround"). Which one do i plug the back speakers into?3)How do i know when i get the complete 5.1 experience? Hopefully u guys understand me. I have checked my connections several times and this thing is driving me crazy. HELP!!!! thanx

1) Try using the Pioneer's "TEST TONE" in the setup menu instead if your THX disc. Accidentally switching the "LEFT" and "RIGHT" rear speakers happens all the time. Just flip the connections to make it right.

2) Make sure you've "told" the Pioneer that you're only running 5 speakers (turn off the "SURROUND BACK"). You want to connect your rear to the "SURROUND" (LEFT and RIGHT) jacks only.

3)Make sure all of your speakers are set to "LARGE" and subwoofer to "NO". Your BOSE speakers work the opposite of normal speakers and you'll get better sound with the Pioneer setup this way (assuming that all 5 speakers get run through the subwoofer first).

Make sure the front display of the Pioneer actually says "Dolby Digital" or "DTS" during movie playback. If not, your DVD player's digital out needs to be set to "BITSTREAM" (for both Dolby and DTS).

Lastly, speaker placement is key. Even you do all of the things listed above, if you (or your speakers) are placed improperly throughout your living room, the whole thing will still sound lousy. Click the link: http://www.avtruths.com/speaker.html

i have optical audio out from the tuner on my tv. if i buy separately powered speakers, do i need a receiver?

i basically want to get around buying a receiver and still get optical sound. my current set up is that i have a ps3 with hdmi that plugs into my tv, and a cable box with hdmi that plugs into my tv. can i use that optical audio out in the back to plug into separately powered speakers (like speakers made for a computer, like those that klipsch makes) and get surround sound or do i need a receiver?

No, you do not need a receiver if you use powered speakers (unless they have a separate unit with a surround decoder and an Optical input). You need a preamp/processor. A receiver is a combination of a preamp/processor, amplifiers and a radio tuner in one box. When you start going up the food chain in home theater systems, you start buying the units as separate products.

You may WANT to buy a receiver since separate preamp/processors tend to run considerably more money because they are less compromised and more performance oriented. Also, many receivers have preamp outputs that allow you to bypass the internal amps and use better offboard amps or powered loudspeakers.

Now...should you do this? My vote is no unless you have a pretty substantial budget and can afford to buy a real active monitoring system (ala PMC...think many thousands of dollars). Computer speakers are pretty much at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to home theater sound. You would be better off buying a Klipsch passive speaker system (I've sold lots of their Reference Cinema 10 packages) and a receiver than computer speakers. Even Klipsch's computer speakers...which happen to be the best of the breed...are a step down in sound quality vs. even their smaller dedicated home theater speaker packages.

An aviation headset is commonly one of the first pierces of aviation gear that most students buy. You might have the ability to rent or even borrow one from your flight school but you will likely discover that their equipment is worn and may not be available all the time. Either way you will need to purchase your own aviation headset eventually.

When this time comes you will quickly find that selecting the right headset can be extremely confusing. This is a mater of personal taste, so it is wise to check out different types before choosing one. There are a few factors that you need to look at, such as if you want an active noise reduction (ANR) headset or a more standard passive noise reduction model. ANR is a new technology that is highly effective at lowering frequency noise such as the engine and the propeller in small aircraft.

ANR works when a small microphone in the ear portion of the headset picks up a noise inside the ear cup. This information is then transmitted through the headset which then drives a speaker to produce a noise that is the exact image of the original noise. This means that one sound wave corresponds to the anti noise created by the headset. When these sound waves collide they cancel each other out, leaving you with silence.

This doesnÂ’t mean that selecting an ANR headset leaves without the ability to hear the air traffic controller and other important sounds because ANR works on low-frequency noise. Low frequency noise is the type that causes permanent hearing loss if you are subjected to them over long periods of time.

If you are going to flight school then you should consider purchasing wither a Telex or a Peltor headset that will protect your hearing and allow you to communicate efficiently. Telex headsets come in a large variety and is a well known name is aviation headsets. There are of course those pilots that will swear that nothing compared to a Bose headset, but Telex offers them much cheaper, and work just as well.

Another well known name is aviation headsets are Peltor headsets which also comes in a large variety of styles. All Peltor headsets are comfortable and reduce noise. There are more sophisticated Peltor headsets that include music and cell phone capabilities which are very useful and incredibly convenient. Peltor is one company that sets the standard for aviation headsets.

Bose Wave Music System?

I am thinking of buying a Bose Wave Music System with a radio. I am wondering if it is a high quality player or not. Also, does it have an alarm?
Here is a link:

Hi. Bose is generally agreed to be below average when it comes to buying their products for home theater speakers.But the bottom line is if you like the sound of a particular set of speakers then that is all that matters.Try to listen to the Bose set up to see if you can live with the sound.Also ,be aware that when you hear the sound from any speakers in the showroom or store it is not going to sound the same at home.But you can get a rough idea to help you decide.
Try to listen to as many brands as possible in your price range in case you like something better.

Home theater speakers are one of the most important parts of a home theater system as is it is the sound that recreates a theater experience. All home theater speakers have basic components like left and right speakers, center speaker, surround speakers, and sub woofers but all of these must mesh to get the best possible sound. This is why you should stick with the same maker for your speakers to insure that they all match up properly.

These days you can find a large variety of front speakers including floor standing, bookshelf, and satellite speakers. As far as the quality of sound is concerned, floor standing tower speakers will give you the best although they are space hogs. If you don't have a lot of room to work with you may want to go with satellite speakers and a subwoofer.

When shopping for their system components a lot of people don't consider the importance of the center channel speaker but this is a mistake as they do most of the work in the system by providing a great deal of the soundtrack as well as dialogue. This speaker is usually placed on your TV but for those who have wall mounted televisions there are variations made for those also.

The speakers that most people think about when shopping for their home theater speakers are the surround speakers which are give you the crisp distinct sounds like leaves rustling or rain and wind. It is this component that makes the whole movie at home set up more enjoyable and real. If you really want the full effect go with at least two pairs of surround speakers for the best results.

Subwoofers are the last of the components you will need for your system and are a definite must since many DTS and Dolby soundtracks have bass tracks that will only be heard with a subwoofer. These allow the low frequency effects that help recreate the movie experience you feel in a regular theater.

Another thing you may consider is putting the subwoofers that have recently come out that can be installed in your seating. These contain a small linear motor which sends a low frequency sound into the body of the person in the seat after receiving a signal from an amplifier.

These take advantage of our senses by allowing us to both hear and feel the low frequency sounds without having to have the monstrous speakers like those at a movie theater.

Help with connecting bookshelf speakers to a hdtv?

Hello,
I recently bought a pair of Acoustic Audio GX-350 bookshelf speakers on the cheap and I need to know how I can connect them to my tv. On the back of each speaker is a red and black lever. What should I buy to power them (500 watts each).
Thank you!

To my knowledge, you cannot connect speakers directly into a television. What you need is a receiver than they hook into. The red and black levers are used for speaker cables that would go into the back of the receiver. If you are just looking for a cheap receiver check online sites like ebay.com or even amazon.

I recommend Denon, Pioneer or Onkyo when getting a receiver.

If you have a home theatre system or a pair of loudspeakers then you will want to get the best possible sound quality and maximum potential from your speaker system. The good news is that you can get a noticeable sound quality difference from your speakers with a minimal investment in good quality speaker wires. In this article we will show you the benefits and explain, in understandable language, the reasons for you to decide if you want to upgrade to the optimum speaker cable to enhance your audio listening experience and overall system sound quality.

Choosing home theatre speaker wire is not an exact science but there are simple rules that you should follow when selecting speaker wire for your audio and hifi system. Many high street hifi shops are happy to sell you expensive speaker cables which may or may not suit your audio system and it is possible to waste hundreds of pounds or dollars on wiring that is certainly unjustified in making any audible difference on most home hi-fi and home cinema systems.

So what should I look for when choosing home theater speaker wire - best tips?

Firstly, you should know how to choose the right gauge of speaker wiring and this is easily done by understanding that a thickness of wire is relative to the gauge or size of the copper conductor/s inside the speaker wire. The gauge number, which is available by the standard AWG or American Wire Gauge, identifies the cable thickness. However, you should note that the lower the gauge of the wire the thicker it will be.

The lower the AWG gauge number of a speaker wire indicates the capacity or ability to more better pass the electrical audio signal through the speaker wiring conductor. The general standard or accepted range of wiring is from 12 to 18 gauge.

When selecting the right gauge speaker wiring for your home theatre, cinema system or hifi then you should take into consideration the general reputation of a supplier and cable manufacturer and the level of sound quality you wish to achieve within your own budget. You will also need to work out the length of your speaker cable installation and how much cable is required to connect the speakers. If you are installing a home theatre and require surround sound system at the back of your room then longer cable runs will be required and you should understand that a long wires runs cause their own problems in relation to loss of sound quality due to electrical current loss through the cable.

As a rule of thumb it is advisable to select speaker wire gauge from the following guideline of distance vs cable gauge:

(1) Distance from hi-fi / home cinema system to loudspeaker (Less than 60 feet)=16 gauge.

(2) Distance from hi-fi / home theatre system to loudspeaker (Less than 60 to 180 feet)=14 gauge.

(3) Distance from hi-fi / home audio system to loudspeaker (More than 180 feet)=12 gauge.

With home theatre speaker wire it is worth considering thicker gauge cable as it can really help you achieve good sound quality results and also as thicker wire handles the electrical signal much better it reduces the resistance of the cable and therefore puts less strain on your amplifier or audio visual receiver thus giving longer life of your amplifier component and providing a better quality sound output which is delivered more easily to your speaker / surround sound system.

Thinner speaker wiring, generally less expensive, is obviously easier to work with when installing around skirting boards or under flooring and choosing a good quality 16 gauge speaker wire will still achieve fantastic results for rear surround sound speakers providing that the cables are made from good quality components and this extends also to the correct use of cable terminators on both amplifier and speaker ends.

Does adding amplifier be damaging to my Home Theaters speaker?

I'm planning to boast up my Home Theaters speaker, so I'd decided to buy a Sony amplifier. If I connect the speakers of my Home Theater to the amplifier, will that damage the speaker? Do I need to buy speakers for the amplifier?

It all depends on what equipment you are talking about.

If you have a cheap box system - the parts are NOT always designed to let you swap parts in and out. Some of cheap speakers will destroy a amp because they were only designed to work with the receiver/dvd player combo that came with the set.

You dont want to buy an 'amp' but you want to buy a home theater receiver.

How do I connect my Samsung HT-X40 home theater speakers to my Onkyo Audio Receiver?

I have no clue what type of connection the Samsung HT-X40 home theater speakers are.

All speakers need two wires to work; positive and negative one.

One manufacturer blurp is to tell you this: always connect the positive wire to the postive output on the amplifier and the negative to the negative output on the amplifier respectively. But really, should you?

No! Not necessary! Its main purpose is to prevent 'short circuiting' the speaker and amplifier, which can result in explosion or fire.

That's because as long one wire goes through the positive and the other negative output on the amplifier, the speaker and amplifier should work fine.

Important note though: make sure the speaker impedance is supported by the amplifier and that the speaker supports more than the maximum power supplied by the amplifier.

So, modern theatre speakers have clips so that the two wires seems to be one. Just cut the end of the wire, not so close to the clip so you can always 'reconnect' them in the future, snapped them and separate the two wires so you can easily connect later, and then cut off a small portion of the wire head to expose the internal wiring.

There you go. Your Samsung speakers should now be easily connected via 2-input/output wiring on the Onkyo amplifier.

Again. Make sure the Onkyo support the impedance of the Samsung speaker, cause many modern theatre speakers have super low impedance of 2-4ohms, which on amplifiers that support 8-12ohms, you could be firing up the amplifier with heat which will do permanent damage to it.

Hope it helps.
