Home Theater Speakers and Home Theater Systems

You've got the big screen TV and the comfy chairs, but to really complete your home theater, you're going to need a killer surround sound system. The immersive audio that comes from surround sound speakers will take your home viewing experience to the next level. But building the perfect system can be confusing, and it can get expensive. A great way to easily and affordably add great sound to your room is with a pre-packaged home theater system. At Abt, you can find these systems from top audio brands, like Bose, SVS, and Yamaha. These home theater systems include all of the speakers you'll need for a full surround sound setup, and they often include a subwoofer as well. This saves you the hassle of needing to select individual speakers and making sure they sound right when used together.

A home theater system ensures that every speaker is timbre-matched, giving you the best possible sound for movies and music. The only thing you'll need to add to complete your surround sound system will be a home theater receiver. However, many home theater systems even include the AV receiver. Packages like this are often referred to as a "Home Theater in a Box," because they include everything you need to get surround sound, including all of the necessary wiring. Simply unbox it, connect some wires, and hit play on your favorite blockbuster movie.
