These days you are just as likely to watch a brand new film at home than at the cinema. With the advent of DVD, and more recently blu-ray, the quality of picture you can experience at home rivals, and sometimes even beats that which you can experience at the cinema. But an often overlooked aspect of films, and one that is as important as the image quality itself, is the sound quality. Imagine watching the opening scene of Apocalypse Now, or the monolith scene in 2001:Space Oddysey on a gorgeous giant screen with tinny sound. Thats why you need to invest in a home theater with receiver.
There are lots of options for home theater receivers now, and an awful lot of technological babble to go along with it. If you have been baffled by the likes of Dolby Digital 7.1, THX, RMS etc then you are not alone. The most important thing to remember though, is that your ears are the most important part in picking your receiver. Every shop that sells receivers should be equipped with a demonstration room so that you can hear what the receivers sound like. If you phone ahead then they will likely allow you to test several different receivers at once and compare the sound quality.
You also need to be aware of the speakers to which you will match your receiver, and in particular the amp rating for the receiver. Larger passive speakers will generally require a larger amp rating to drive them. Always look for amp ratings termed RMS, rather than PMPO. RMS is a truer reflection of the receivers power. If in doubt ask the store clerk as they should know what rating you will need.
I hope this article has helped you in your decision making and you have taken away a little knowledge. Remember that you should always listen before buying, and dont be afraid to ask questions, no matter how silly they may sound. These tips will enable you to buy the best home theater with receiver for you.
