Speakers and HTIB

Picking speakers for your home theater system is just like choosing a TV, it depends on the size and shape of your room. If you have a smaller room i suggest looking into virtual surround sound. Virtual surround sound is a great alternative when you are lacking space. They are small, easy to setup, and have few wires. Normally they are are 2.1 or 3.1 system, meaning 2 or 3 speakers and a subwoofer.
If you have a medium to large room a 5.1 to 7.1 surround system would sound better. When selecting a surround sound system i always look for the best and would get a 7.1 system because i love home theater, but for the average user a 5.1 system will work just fine. A surround sound system should have Dolby Digital and DTS. On the higher end of home theater you may find a THX certified system but they will be much more expensive. Some other things that are new are True HD and Dolby HD. These will also be in your higher end models right now.
