I am a self-confessed audio and home theater addict that has discovered the joys of cinema quality movies in my own home. Now that's out of the way the question is, why do you want a home cinema set-up? After all, isn't home theater nothing more than slightly better quality audio for your TV programs, that incidentally don't have a particularly good quality audio feed anyway?
A few years ago I would have said that was true, but then along came a not insignificant invention in the form of high-definition television. Now as far as I'm concerned the difference it makes to have a high-definition television has to be seen to be believed, it's hard to explain to somebody that hasn't seen the technology just how clear and crisp and altogether more involving the picture is.
Originally however there were very few channels that took advantage of the high-definition TVs that were available, the technology was ahead of the content. But now everything is changing, very often the major channels will also have a HD equivalent, and even the smaller broadcasters are now starting to get in on the act. Not to mention the way that HD ready and full HD televisions are coming down in price dramatically. Add to this Blu-ray and high-quality DVD movies and it becomes plain to see that there are a large number of high-definition sources now available.
So if we have establish that HD content is growing rapidly and is readily available then surely it stands to reason that if you're watching movies in the best visual quality possible, do you not want the same to be true of the sound?
One of the first things you notice when you go to the movies, is the explosive volume coming at you in peaks and troughs as a storyline unfolds. The sound hitting you from all directions and the size of the large screen. All of this combines to get you totally immersed in the film. The best way I can describe a home theater setup is to say that when done correctly you can experience that exact same frill whilst sitting in your own home. No more paying extortionate fees at the concession stand, just get the whole family on the sofa or invite your friends around for movie nights and have the same experience. It's not even anti-social, my kids think it's great to watch a movie with their friends whilst I nuke the popcorn.
A common misconception is that home theater is expensive and yes, it can be. But the same is true of any hobby if you take it too extremes, for example knitting with wool or knitting with Kashmir, the latter being considerably more expensive. Any number of affordable options are open to the first time buyer these days, starting with sub 0 all inclusive cinema in a box type packages, which include a surround sound receiver and multi-channel speaker system in one package. Stand alone components that allow you to tailor a system to your specific requirements are also very reasonable priced. Companies like Denon, Yamaha and Onkyo have extensive ranges to suit every budget. I personally like independent components that allow you freedom of choice over the speakers and receiver that you choose. The point I am making here is that it's not ridiculously expensive anymore, so don't let cost put you off.
So it's not super expensive, you probably have a suitable TV already to start your system off and you can have great times socially. Getting into the home theater club is something that nobody I know has regretted, OK it won't change the planet, but it can always help to brighten up one little corner of your personal world.
