| Choosing products based on reviews and
demonstrations would seem like an obvious way to achieve the
best results but this approach is unscientific and unreliable.
Every room changes the sound of an audio system, which means
the same components used in a demonstration room will sound
very different in most living rooms. The sound quality of
larger loudspeakers varies from room to room more than any
other component, making them a poor choice if accurate sound
reproduction is required.
This is why the use of compact speakers and subwoofers is
recommended by the authority in home theatre design, THX Lucasfilm
of Star Wars fame. This approach to system design is recommended
by THX as the most accurate method of reproducing their sound
tracks possible. In addition to providing the most predictable
results possible it also allows for more cost effective, discreet
installations than traditional loudspeakers.
The world’s leading film makers such as Universal,
Paramount, Warner Bros and 20th Century Fox all use M&K
compact speakers and subwoofers when making their films. Using
the same compact speakers in a home cinema will get you closer
to what the director intended than any alternatives.
