Make music and movies sound better than ever with a new set of speakers, whether you're looking for iPod speakers, Infinity speakers or Bose speakers. Ideally, each speaker in a set will reproduce a separate channel of audio. For example, you'll need left and right stereo speakers, available in a variety of sizes, to reproduce two-channel stereo recordings. Purchase additional speakers to immerse listeners in surround sound sporting events, movies, and music from HDTV, DVDs, SACDs, and DVD-Audio.
Set up your speakers
Set up your speakers around a primary listening position in your room. In a home entertainment setup, it will be directly in front of the television, ideally with some space between the position and a room's back wall.
Front speakers: Place stereo speakers or front surround sound speakers to the left and right of your television at equal distances. They should face the primary listening position at a 30-degree angle. In a home theater setup, front speakers reproduce realistic sound effects and music that seem to come from either side of the action appearing on your TV screen. Full-size floor-standing speakers usually sound best overall. The large units should visually fit into your home, so pay attention to cabinet color and images provided in item listings. Choose bookshelf units if you want your speakers to sit on a shelf.
Center-channel speakers: The center-channel speaker reproduces soundtrack information, including dialogue, music, and many sound effects. Place it above or below your television screen, in line with the primary listening position. Sound should project directly toward listeners and create the illusion of coming from the TV screen. Get the largest center-channel surround sound speaker you can, especially if you have large front speakers.
Surround speakers: Surround speakers work with the front speakers to immerse you in music and sound effects. Position surround speakers to the left and right, and slightly behind, your primary listening position. You can use floor-standing speakers, bookshelf speakers, or smaller satellite speakers that fit nicely on end tables, stands, or even on your wall.
Rear surround speakers: Set a single rear speaker in back of your primary listening position for 6.1 surround sound or use two rear speakers for 7.1 surround sound. Both rear 7.1 surround sound speakers reproduce the same back channel of audio. 5.1 surround sound speakers optimized for Dolby Digital and DTS playback (formats with five channels of audio) do not include rear speakers.
Subwoofer: Making up the .1 in surround sound, a subwoofer comes in many sizes and reproduces a bass channel or low-frequency effects. People usually position the subwoofer out of the way of foot traffic. Some people prefer to place it in a corner for better bass response. Most units include their own power amplifier and subwoofers with larger cabinets and drivers produce deeper bass sounds than smaller units.
You'll find a variety of other speakers on eBay, including in-wall & in-ceiling speakers that allow you to hide your components, wireless speakers, and weatherproof outdoor speakers. Visit eBay's Speakers & Subwoofers Buying Guide for more tips and advice on choosing new speakers.
