Whats the best home theater speakers out there?

Home theater Setup?

  • Ok, so I finnally financed my home theater project... costing a total of $20,000 thousand dollars. That included a nice projector, seats, nice sound system and sound proofing / acustics for the room in question. However, now I am completly un-aware of how to get everything to work. I have a Sony 1080x1980 prodictor, 3 yamaha 5.1 channel Dolby receiver (for a total of 18 speakers) and a powerful MAC pc to run the multi-media from. All of my content is going to be played from the computer.... I know how to wire the video part, but the audio is what gets me. What CORD do i run from my computer to my Dolby receiver (whats it called, does it require a special card in the computer?) and how do I inter-connect all 3 receivers to get the same Dolby signal from the computer? just link all 3 together? or link each one seperatly from the computer? Thanks for the help!

  • Answer:

    You can't link mulitple receivers together. Why did you get 3 receivers for one room? You should return 2 of them. And since you only need 1 receiver and its 5.1, you only need 5 speakers plus one subwoofer. On the audio side, if you want DD/DTS you will need a sound card for your laptop that will output DD/DTS. If your onboard sound card doesn't have it, you will need to get a PCMCIA sound card or some type of external sound card (maybe USB). If you don't care about DD/DTS, then you can have Dolby Pro-Logic by connecting the audio out to the receiver. To do this, get a mini-to-RCA adapter from Radio Shack.

for what you want you should have bought amplifiers instead of recievers.

Now that you have invested all of that in home theater gear, you need to get it right by contracting a home theater pro- fessional. If you want the best, hire a THX Certified tech... H a p p y H o m e T h e a t e r i n g ! _ _ _
