How To Build A Home Theater

By Eric Stafford


It is not difficult to expend five-figure dollars on the home theater of your dreams. But, with careful planning and bargain hunting, you can create a fantastic home entertainment theater for your family for significantly less. Whether your budget is $10K or $1K, you can find the ideal components for your system, and create a theater that the family will love.

The truth of the matter is that most of us cannot afford to spend more than ten thousand dollars creating the home theater of our dreams. Many of us must seriously budget well in order to spend a couple thousand dollars on our home theaters. The good news is that for a few thousand dollars you can create a truly phenomenal home theater if you do your homework and invest your money wisely in components for your home theater system.

My first recommendation when building a good quality home theater is to buy one piece at a time rather than building it all at once. This allows you to constantly upgrade your system without breaking the budget all at once. It also allows you the time to save up for better quality pieces within your system rather than attempting to make an all or nothing purchase. One thing to remember when purchasing pieces individually is to make sure that they are all compatible (this is especially important with speakers, which I recommend purchasing together as a set whenever possible).

The vital component to your home theater is the TV. IT si the focal point of the system and should be the first component you buy. High definition is the only TV you could consider buying. You should never get anything that is not a HDTV when building a home theater. The 32 inch TV with LCD display is the most popular TV in the US today. Other display technologies such as projection, LED and plasma are less widely used but should not be considered inferior quality. After deciding on your TV, you can start buying the other components to complete your system.

All of the components of your home theater run through the receiver in some way. The receiver controls the audio of the entire system. All of the components send their signals to the receiver and the receiver does the work to pass those signals to the right output. Make sure to spend a considerable amount of time to find the best quality receiver you can afford. Your entire theater experience will suffer with a low quality receiver.

The speakers have a large influence over the making your home theater actually feel like a theater. They are designed to create the optimum audio experience and mimic the sound system you find in movie theaters. It is best to buy your speakers as a set, all from the same manufacturer as they will be designed to work together.

Finally, the Blu-Ray player rounds out the system. Blu-Ray players are the way to go to enjoy high definition movies.

Cables to connect your system together should not be overlooked. HDMI cables will transmit high definition signals between components.

The benefit to building your home theater component by component is that you can keep up with new trends, lowering prices and changes in technologies.
