Component system Component surround sound systems give you top-notch audio performance, and usually offer greater flexibility, too. (This system requires rear speakers, not pictured here.)
A component surround sound system is a smart way to go when:
- You have a large room. Nothing fills a big room with sound like a set of full-sized speakers driven by a dedicated receiver.
- You do a lot of music listening. Music presents any audio system with just as great a challenge as movie sound. Larger speakers and a good receiver let you experience your favorite recordings with especially powerful and nuanced sound.
- You want maximum flexibility. A lot of options open up when you go the component route. Many home theater receivers now allow multi-room music or PC networking possibilities. You can also make creative substitutions, like using in-wall speakers (this requires involved installation but saves lots of space). Down the road, you'll also enjoy more potential for system expansion.
