What is the best home theatre speaker system?

Question

Can anyone help me. I want to buy a home theatre speaker system that gives the best sound quality.

Answer 1

I personally like Polk... if you want the best quality, don't buy a prepackaged home theater system; they usually aren't the best quality. Buy the receiver and speakers separately.

Answer 2

I don't think you mean the absolute best. However what sound you get is dependent on your budget.

A good entry level system can run a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars.

High end systems can easily reach several hundred thousand.

So really you need to be more specific in your application, budget, expectations,etc.. to really get a good idea of what to get.

Answer 3

I have a harman kardon receiver and polk 7.1 speaker system.  Learn about HDMI, and if that doesnt matter to you then a Home Theatre in a box might be ok, but I never reccommend that unless it's going in a kids bedroom for an xbox

Answer 4

I have and love Klipsch, but there are plenty of other great speakers out there like Def-Tech, SVS, Outlaw Audio, PSB, Paradigm, B&W, ORB, Anthony Gallo(Check out the Micro or A'diva line WOW!), Mordaunt Short, Thiel, Totem, Martin Logan, Mirage, JAMO, Quad, Phase Tech, Monitor Audio, KEF........

Answer 5

Definitive Technology is one of the best hands down. I like Definitive Technology myself. I have them all over my house. I love their sound and the build quality is top notch also. Not to mention you get a lot of bang for the buck.

As far as the best sound. That is completely up to you to decide.

Klipsch sound nice as does Polk. Boston Acoustics as well. Canton are very good too but expensive.

I recommend you audition as many speakers as you can that are within your price range. Also make sure they are hooked up to a stereo system which is very similar to yours. You don't want to audition a $1000 set of speakers on a $4000 dollar receiver if your receiver is only $500. And vice versa. you need to keep as many things equal as possible.

The best is to bring them home. That is alot of hassle and trouble and isn't always ideal for some people. I would suggest narrowing it down to 2 or 3 in the stores and then audition those ones at home. If you buy them form a reputable retailer you will have no problem returning them.
