A complete surround sound speaker system will provide the theater type experience of having the movie sound track almost surround you as the name implies.  Surround sound can be great if you are an avid movie watcher but many times the installation of this type of setup can be a challenge when attempting to accommodate the typical home’s furnishings.  This is one reason that many homeowners are dedicating a single room to the home theater experience.  When outfitting a single room, your only limitations are your budget and imagination.

Most of us have to compromise to one degree or another.  A good compromise is using small modular type satellite speakers for surround sound.  These smaller cube style speakers might be as small as three or four inches.  Many rooms can easily accommodate a pair of high end audio speakers such as tower or even bookshelf speakers for the front channels of your home theater set up.  The tower speakers also are capable of producing the full range of sound from your favorite movies as well as the most popular music.  While the smaller satellite speakers are easily hid, they contribute to the surround sound experience.

A good subwoofer will still be needed to provide the bass and sub-bass frequencies that the smaller speakers are not capable of producing.  Just add a center channel speaker for dialogue and you have a killer sound system.  You can’t go wrong if you go with a brand like JBL audio speakers.  You will have a good sounding entertainment center keyed for home theater viewing, great audio or both with little effort by shopping on the web.
