9 best home theatres

Home theaters are dedicated spaces or setups within a home designed to replicate the movie theater experience, offering high-quality audio and visual performance for movies, music, gaming, and more. A critical component of a home theater is the surround sound system, which typically includes speakers strategically placed to create an immersive audio experience.

  1. Surround Sound Systems: Surround sound systems create a multidimensional audio experience by distributing sound from various directions. Common configurations include 5.1, 7.1, and even more advanced setups like 9.1 or 11.1. The numbers represent the channels of audio output, including front, center, rear, and subwoofer speakers.

  2. Speakers:

    • Front Speakers: These are positioned in the front of the room and play a crucial role in delivering the main audio, including dialogue and important sound effects.
    • Center Speaker: Placed centrally, this speaker enhances dialogue clarity and anchors the sound to the screen, especially important for movie dialogues.
    • Rear or Surround Speakers: Placed behind or to the sides of the listening area, these speakers provide ambient sound, enhancing the immersive experience.
    • Subwoofer: Responsible for low-frequency sounds (bass), providing depth and impact to the audio.
  3. Home Audio Components:

    • AV Receiver: This acts as the central hub, connecting to various audio and video sources and distributing signals to the speakers. It also provides audio processing and amplification.
    • Blu-ray/DVD Player or Streaming Devices: Used to play movies or media content in high-definition, connected to the AV receiver.
    • Media Streamers: Devices like Apple TV, Roku, or Chromecast allow streaming content from various online platforms.
    • Gaming Consoles: For gaming enthusiasts, gaming consoles are integrated into the home theater system for an immersive gaming experience.
  4. Audio Formats and Technologies:

    • Dolby Digital and DTS: Common surround sound audio formats used for DVDs, Blu-rays, and digital broadcasts.
    • Dolby Atmos and DTS:X: Advanced formats that include height channels, creating a three-dimensional sound experience.
    • THX Certification: Ensures that the equipment meets specific audio and visual performance standards.
  5. Room Acoustics and Setup:

    • The layout, furniture, and acoustics of the room impact the audio quality.Proper speaker placement and room calibration are essential for optimal sound distribution and clarity.
    • Soundproofing and acoustic treatments can enhance the overall listening experience by reducing unwanted echoes and noise.
  6. Integration and Control:

    • Modern home theaters often incorporate smart home features, allowing users to control audio, lighting, and other aspects through a centralized system or smart devices.
    • Voice control, smartphone apps, and remote controls provide convenient ways to manage the home theater setup.

Creating a well-designed home theater with a carefully selected surround sound system and audio components ensures a captivating entertainment experience within the comfort of your home.

User questions & answers

Question: Can somebody pls tell me how the 'gold' color actually looks. It seems more like 'orange' to me
Answer: Definitely more orange than gold. If you google image search "orange gold," the resulting pictures have the approximate shade, in my opinion.
Question: Why does the subwoofer make a horrible sound when it's on? Even with the volume all the way down sounds like if it's getting interference and its loud
Answer: I had the same issue. The sub needs to be on the ground and the speakers must be at a high level than the sub. This will make the sound go away.
Question: Are all the speakers wireless
Answer: No the unit is not wireless.
Question: I'm putting this in my entertainment center and wondering where should i put the sub unit for the best base sound, [enclosed or in the open]
Answer: okay so the best way to find out where to place a sub is kinda silly but it works. place the sub where you will be sitting. then go to the corners of the room or locations where you might place the sub. where it is the loudest place it there.

User questions & answers

Question: Can you monitor or program the Bass on this unit
Answer: The bass is adjustable via the remote. The settings are from 0 to -10 and at its lowest is almost completely off.
Question: How well does this work with bluetooth paired to a phone just want,it for music
Answer: It pairs very easily and thus far I’ve never had any issues whatsoever. The sound is amazing and these relatively small speakers get very loud. Unlike some surround systems, this one actually plays your music in 5.1 instead of just the center and front satellites.
Question: Will this connect to a 70" smart tv
Answer: The input options for this system is RCA, Bluetooth and optical cable. Most smart TVs have an optical output so yes, you should be able to connect it just fine. If your smart tv has a Bluetooth output, this system has a great Bluetooth.
Question: Is this true surround sound, I mean will you here gun shots to the left and right or in every speaker at once? Ty
Answer: I am SO disappointed in these speakers. As the others have said it is NOT a true 5.1 sound system. Even though the sound is magnificent for the price, it is NOT a discrete 5.1 system. Watching a movie, the sound designed for discrete front speakers totally leaked into the back surround speakers. I wish I had known this before I purchased. Well others do now.

Aperion Audio MKII Planar-Ribbon Super Tweeter Pair for Home Theater Stereo Speaker HiFi Audiophile Ultra High-End Frequency Response up to 40kHz (Stealth Black)

Aperion Audio

  • The Aperion Audio Super Tweeter is a high-fidelity compliment to any home audio system. They add a subtle touch to the high frequency range and blend seamlessly with many brands of speakers.
  • Designed to reside on top of your existing speaker, the Super Tweeter will slightly boost the frequency range of 8,000 Hz to 40,000 Hz and employs a high pass filter with 5 preset crossover points.
  • Unlike a horn tweeter, the Super Tweeter delicately handles high frequencies, bringing a new dynamic to your sound field. The Planar Magnetic Super Tweeter works best with speakers having 85 to 93 dB efficiency.
  • Please do not expect this tweeter to be extremely loud. This is a special tweeter which adds a subtle boost to the upper register frequencies. Please note the efficiency of your speakers to ensure the Super Tweeters are compatible with your existing speakers. If you have any questions, please contact the customer service team at Aperion Audio.

FAQ

What kind of speakers will the Super Tweeter work with?

Answer: Most passive bookshelf or tower speakers are great candidates for the Super Tweeter. But, you can also use them with center channel speakers and surround speakers.

How do I connect the Super Tweeter speaker to my passive speakers?

Answer: The Super Tweeter connects directly to the binding posts on the speaker you are pairing it with (not to the amplifier!). This parallel connection allows the Super Tweeter to feed off the same signal as your main speaker.

Since the Super Tweeter will most likely be sharing the binding posts with your amplifier connection, using wire with spade or ring connections will allow both sets of wires to easily connect to the same binding posts. If your speakers are bi-ampable, you can use one set of binding posts for the Super Tweeter and the other for the amplifier (making sure to keep the jumpers in place).

Can I use the Super Tweeter speaker with my active (powered) or Bluetooth speakers?

Answer: If it’s a sealed box, or portable type of Bluetooth speaker, you most likely will not be able to use a Super Tweeter with this speaker.

"Will the Super Tweeter work with my electrostatic, full range, or professional audio speakers?"

Answer: We advise you to check the sensitivity level and frequency response of your current speakers. A speaker that has a higher sensitivity level rating than the Super Tweeter might not be a good fit. However, the we've received feedback that the Super Tweeter works great with Bose 901's, Quad Electrostatic 2805, and other full range and electrostatic speakers."

Customers Pictures Share

How much will the Super Tweeter change the treble response? Answer: The crossover setting will have the most effect on the treble sound. If your regular speaker doesn’t produce frequencies above 14 kHz very well, then that would be a good starting point for your crossover. Generally setting the crossover to 14 kHz or 16 kHz will add a nice touch to the treble response.

What speaker wire is best for the Super Tweeter speaker? Answer: As with all cable, we recommend at least 14 gauge to minimize any loss of electrical current.

What’s the highest frequency the Super Tweeter will reach? Answer: The Aperion Audio Super Tweeter can reach up to 35 kHz.

Can you adjust the crossover frequency while music is playing? Answer: Yes, in fact this is highly recommended to experiment with, so you can find the sound that works best for you.

What length of speaker cable do I need? Answer: You shouldn’t need more than a few feet, but it depends on the distance from your bookshelf or tower speakers binding post inputs to the Super Tweeter inputs.

Can I buy an odd number of Super Tweeter speakers? Answer: Yes, just give us a call to make this request.

  • Also included in the box are four C brackets for mounting the satellite speakers to the wall and the necessary hardware for mounting the speakers to the brackets. A pair of plastic feet to properly orient the face of the center speaker is also included. Note that you will need to provide your own hardware for mounting the C brackets to the wall or other vertical surface.

User questions & answers

Question: What speaker stands work with the Monoprice
Answer: Any stand will work. I purchased wall mounts for my surround speakers.
Question: Could I use this with a receiver and what would I need to do to get it to work correctly
Answer: It will work with any 80-100w/ channel receiver. Connect using banana plugs and 14 gauge speaker wire. Make sure to get the woofer spreaker cable with a Y splitter. Monoprice website sells all the cables you need at a great price. Better than amazon
Question: Could anyone recommend a set of towers to make this a 7.1 system
Answer: I would definitely agree. Monoprice sells a set of two of the speakers separately for use on their own as a 2 channel system or as an add on to this 5.1 system to make it 7.1. They even sell the subwoofer separately as well if you ever want to upgrade to a true 7.2 system. Then everything will be perfectly matched. Make sure to get the correct set of two Premium Monoprice speakers. Monoprice also sells a lower quality standard 5.1 surround sound system and a set of two extras of that type as well. If you have the correct set, they will exactly match the speakers in the Monoprice Premium 5.1 surround sound speaker set. I know this because I actually had what I thought was the correct one in my shopping cart only to find out it was the wrong set just before pulling the trigger. So it's an easy mistake to make even when you've done a bunch of research. I hope you enjoy your system. They are absolutely amazing speakers. My family is constantly amazed at how much information and nuance is embedded in soundtracks of our favorite movies and shows that we never heard with our previous home theater system. It's like a completely different experience now. Good luck.
Question: What are the dimensions of the individual speakers? I'm espescially curious on the size of the center channel
Answer: The center channel is 4x9.5x4 Height, width, Depth respectively. The Subwoofer:12x10x12, The Satellites are :6x4x4

This headphone amplifier features a USB input and a professional level Texas Instruments Digital to Analog Converter (DAC), effectively replacing your sound card without requiring you to open your PC and installing a new card. The high-current output allows it to drive headphones with a wide range of impedances, from 16 ohms to 600 ohms.

The RCA line outputs allow you to send the output to a stereo amplifier or powered speakers for those times when you don't want to use headphones. A set of RCA line inputs allows you to connect an external audio source, such as a CD player, so you can enjoy the advantages of the high-current headphone output with other audio sources.
