Home Entertainment System; "Get the best Home Theater Systems for your Investment":

Yamaha-RX-V765BL-665-Watt-7-Channel-Home-Theater-Receiver

Trying to build a great home entertainment system?

You may have found the process of picking the right gear a bit intimidating though...

Home theater and audio equipment is changing nearly every month:

How do you know what you buy today will be a good piece of gear next year?

You need to get home theater supplies that will last for years and give you great performance throughout it's life.

Furthermore, the best equipment for your budget isn't always the most expensive

Picking out the speakers, amplifiers, and other components can be a bit challenging.

Here are some helpful tips when shopping:

1. Buy the best home theater receiver or surround sound processor that you can afford.

Surround sound receivers can get expensive to get one of the higher quality units.

But the receiver market is pretty competitive so you usually get what you pay for here...

2. Get the best home theater amplifiers that you can afford. Again, because of a competitive market, the price is often commensurate with value.

3. Do not spend much money on your cabling. Speaker cables are very easy to make and the tools necessary to build are cheap as well. Get really cheap cables for now and build your own cables later when you have time. Or build DIY speaker cables for your home-entertainment-system now and save even more money.

4. Consider building your home theater speaker system or stereo speakers yourself. This is one of the greatest ways to seriously stretch your budget. A good set of speakers can cost as much as all the other components in the playback chain put together. Speaker building is not that complicated.

5. Use a Home Theater PC in your home entertainment system.

6. Get your home theater supplies from a mail order vendor such as Parts Express – Free Shipping Every Day on most orders over $98 (Restrictions apply).

7. If you can avoid a cheap home theater system such as the HTiB or home theater in a box do so. They offer generally poor value for the performance given.

8. If you are considering a Cheap Home Theater System keep in mind that there are usually reasons that something is "cheap".

Build an HTPC for your Entertainment System

Most of us already own a computer able to perform the task of Home Entertainment System server and HTPC (home theater personal computer).

If you absolutely must spend thousands of dollars- spend it on superior speakers, amplifiers, etc.

A hard drive based server, digital computer based speaker crossover, computer room correction or DRC, and D to A converter all wrapped in one neat computer package for a good home theater.

Some manufacturers would have you to believe that it is impossible for you to build an HTPC or speaker system using your own skills and abilities.

It is not impossible, it is science, craftsmanship and learning, all of which you are entirely capable of doing.

If you prefer not to do the work yourself you could hire it out to a local company you know of and still save money.

You are more than welcome to know exactly which home theater PC's, speaker drivers, enclosure materials, computers or any component that I use. Want to learn more about us? Go to build a home theater page.

Customer Testimonials:

"Peter, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how impressed I am with these speakers. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for..very very small with big sound.

My wife loves them as well. They look great, and you hardly notice them at all sitting on the shelf. They integrate perfectly as surrounds. I have them crossed over at 150 as you recommended...simply fantastic. I only have about 15 hours on them so far, so I know they will only get better. You really have something here. Kelly ~ Montana USA

"I found these speakers by accident and after reading all the available info and after several emails back and forth with the company owner I decided I had nothing to lose, so I ordered a set of 5 mini cube speakers.

Peter was very helpful and patient and always responded to my emails within hours.

I have had the speakers set up for a couple of days and they sound great; they are everything described on the web site.

The sound from these small speakers truly is awesome.

I replaced a set of very high quality but also very large speakers and have not been disappointed... and the wife loves not having four large speakers in the living room.

The sound from these speakers really does fill the entire house, I was concerned about the small size of the speakers due to the fact I like to listen to music and movies at volumes most would consider loud.

These speakers are more than capable of playing at volume levels louder than I ever need while also maintaining very high quality sound. ~by; William (Corinth,TX)


"I ordered these speakers in the hope of bringing some life to my entertainment system... I didn’t think it would bring room filling sound to my entire house. These speakers not only fill my den with crystal clear sound, but radiate great sound throughout the house. Thanks for such a great product!" Celia ~Malasia IP#110.159.58.99


"these speakers breathed new life back into my music, I had no idea such small surround sound speakers could perform so well." John from US IP# 24.177.193.45


"how you got so much performance out of these speakers I have no idea -Great product!" Andrew from Denmark IP# 130.225.22.254


"nice speakers, nice finish, blended in with my room well and the wife is happy too. Great sound presentation! Now I just wish you guys made a subwoofer." Kyle from US IP# 98.233.53.244


"These surround sound speakers are amazing! After running them in for a couple days, I decided to play some tunes, and they never once sounded distorted or strained...

While I know they should be paired with a good sub-woofer bass system, I think they sound good enough that I can wait until I have the money to buy a really nice sub." Fred US IP#76.208.13.182


"Wow, what a great set of speakers. I really understand what you mean by a large sound-stage." Sandy from US IP# 137.100.121.30


"Recently I came to realize that my HDTV was better than my sound system... So, I decided to piece together a better sound system. Running across your site (and these speakers) was the best thing that has happened to my home theater.

My current system is; an older receiver, a home theater PC with a blue-ray player drive, and one pair of your Mini-Cubes. (for now; I plan to buy 3 more speakers soon)" Kevin US IP#98.179.199.26


"Purchasing a new set of surround sound speakers was a must for me. My old system looked awful and sounded even worse. The quality and look of your Mini-Cube speaker were a perfect fit.

Once I reviewed the ratings and tests I knew they would be perfect. I will be sure to look for more information and products from you. I can't believe the performance of these surround sound speakers for the modest price. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!" Mike US IP#172.16.2.142


"The overall quality and dynamic capacity of these speakers really took me by surprise. Their imaging is distinct, tonality is crystal clear, and oh yeah... they pump out some serious volume!

I feel like I have stolen speakers that I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio
