Surround sound plays a critical role in the home theater experience. Needless to say, 5.1 surround sound speakers play this part extremely well. Renowned American film producer George Lucas said that sound is 50% of the moviegoing experience. Which is undoubtedly true! Without an appropriate soundstage that matches your big screen TV or projection screen setup, you will never enjoy that magical immersive movie experience so much possible with today's audio and video systems.
The latest multi-channel audio formats - coupled with today's AV receivers, are capable of a truly immersive experience that is a far cry from that produced by two-channel stereo sound. Yet no matter which sound format you choice, you would not enjoy the best experience without a proper speaker system, correct speaker set-up, and adequate amplifier power.
