Surround Sound

What Do I Need to Build a Basic Surround Sound System?

At Cambridge SoundWorks, we define basic home theater as the combination of a good picture with good sound. To get a good picture, you'll need a television with a high-resolution screen, video inputs, and a screen that measures at least 27" diagonally. To get good sound, you can simply connect your television to your current stereo. That's enough for a basic stereo surround sound system. But most people who invest in surround sound opt to go beyond the basics. Such a system includes a truly large TV (32" and larger), surround speakers, and the cornerstone of such a system, a Dolby Digital® receiver, to deliver true surround sound.
