Things to consider when purchasing surround sound speakers.
First you must consider room size and speaker placement. If space is limited the tower speakers may not be a good option, and you’ll need to go with either wall-mount or bookshelf speakers. Although towers will provide a better sound experience, the wall-mount and bookshelf types can closely compete, especially if a powered sub-woofer is included.
After you’ve decided which type of speakers are best, begin your shopping online, this will enable you to see virtually everything available to you and keep sales people, and their biased opinions, at bay.
Ideally, you’ll want to purchase speakers from the same “family”, you know Bose, Onkyo and so forth. This is due to a little thing called voice-matching. Purchasing speakers from different families can possibly cause a delay in the flow of sound, or have different tonal qualities which can disrupt, or annoy, your experience.
