Home Theater Receiver + 5.1 Speaker System Bundles
A six-piece, 5.1-channel surround sound speaker system is the most basic complete home theater speaker system you can set up that provides truly immersive audio similar to what you can experience when seeing a movie at your local cinema. The front soundstage in your home theater room requires individual left, center, and right speakers, ideally from the same brand and series. The left and right channel speakers can be either two floor standing tower speakers or a pair of small bookshelf or smaller satellite speakers which should be located at each side of your television or projector screen. The center channel speaker’s primary job is dialogue so it works best centered underneath your TV or projection screen (or hidden behind an acoustically-transparent screen).
The surround effects speakers are typically a pair of small speakers which should be located near each side of, and preferably slightly behind, your seating area with their tweeters at ear level or higher, either on end tables, atop speaker stands, or mounted on the wall. The .1 in 5.1 stands for the dedicated Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel in which the deep bass is provided by a powered subwoofer. The sub should be placed where it sounds best in the room, perhaps near a corner.
Each of the 5.1 bundles below include the THX Certified Select Onkyo TX-NR6100 7.2-channel network-ready home theater receiver [manufacturer’s link] [available at Amazon]. Required speaker wire, subwoofer cable, HDMI cables, et cetera which are necessary to complete the proper setup and installation of your home theater audio system are sold separately.
