When looking for home theater surround sound speakers, many people question if there is any difference between a home theater surround sound system and standard tower or bookshelf speakers. We’ll try to consider the basic differences in a brief fashion.

Just compare the size of small satellite speakers used in a home theater surround sound system with standard bookshelf speakers or tower speakers and you’ll get a clue as to why they were not created equal. In many ways, size does matter in the question of sound quality. The standard two-way bookshelf speakers and three-way floor mount speakers have a good\decent size woofer included in the speaker enclosure. The smaller satellite speakers produce excellent quality mid and high frequencies but can’t produce that rich sounding bass we’ve grown accustomed to. You’ll find that all standard surround sound speaker systems require a good amplified subwoofer to produce the bass frequencies.

Music lovers will always want to enjoy their old favorite CD’s as well as the sound tracks from their new DVD. The best way to do this is to expand upon basic home theater sound systems. Basic surround sound speakers which average anywhere from three to six inches across do an excellent job for side and rear positions in a 5.1 or 71. surround sound setup. So you can replace the front two channel satellites with good quality bookshelf or tower speakers and boost your listening pleasure to both music and your favorite movie on DVD. Old style bookshelf speakers can’t be beat for upgrading standard satellite speakers. In addition to changing out the front two channels, you should add a home theater subwoofer if your surround sound system isn’t so equipped.

The standard 5.1 home theater systems might serve you well for home theater. If investing in high end sound for a home audio, you really should pay close attention to the quality of home speakers and components you select. Remember the old saying: “you get what you pay for.” This is especially true in the field of home audio speakers. Most are very happy with Infinity bookshelf speakers in their home theater and home audio systems. In most cases, you can make a good sounding surround sound system sound great by upgrading those front channel speakers.
