Before you buy the speakers for your home theatre, read this article and ask yourself the following 5 questions; the answers will help you buy the speakers that fit your budget and suit the size and décor of the room where you will be using them.
- Question No.1: Should I buy a pre-packaged system?
These systems are quite popular, but they are also overpriced. Although a pre-packaged system may suit your space, it is not your only choice. You could customize your own system of home theatre speakers by selecting individual pieces and putting together a system that fits your budget and suits the size and décor of the room where you will be using it.
- Question No.2: How much am I willing to spend?
As with any other purchase you make, first decide how much you are willing to spend. The prices of speakers can range from a few hundreds to thousands of euro. Obviously, the higher the price, the better the performance. Now, you don’t need to make things difficult for yourself by listening to systems you can not afford; there are lots of available choices in entry level systems you can buy, so listen to systems that are within your budget.
- Question No.3: Do you have a powerful amplifier or receiver?
What you should spend on your home theatre system should be in the same price range of the amplifier and receiver you already have.
If you have a cheap receiver, or amplifier, then buying an expensive system of speakers will be a waste of money, and the other way around.
- Question No.4: Will you be using the system more to watch movies, or to listen to music?
If you will be using the speakers more for watching movies, look for a system that can handle the dynamics of the movies’ soundtracks and for a centre channel that is strong enough to reproduce well the movie dialogues. On the other hand, if you will be using the speakers more for listening to music, then look for speakers that will perform well with the type of music you like listening to.

- Question No.5: How large is the space where you will you be using your speakers?
The size of the space where you will be using the system affects your choice of purchase. If the room is large, you will needs powerful speakers that will give good sound to fill the space. If on the other hand you will be using the speakers in a small space, for example your bedroom, then look for a small set of cube satellite speakers.
