subject: A Home Audio System [print this page] Have you decided to buy a home audio system and do not know what is better to choose? Well, I can understand you, when the choice is stunning you can hardly stop. Anyway, once you have decided to obtain a home audio system, you have a hard work to do. The thing is there is not a common recipe for everyone because our tastes and preferences differ a lot.
There is a variety of shapes and sizes of home audio systems - from a compact audio unit to a system enclosing a subwoofer, several speakers, players, and amplifiers. There are also wireless systems and those designed for outdoor usage. As you see, the range of products is wide, so make your choice basing on such principles as what do you need it for, where will you place it, what is size of a room where it will be used, and so on.
A common home audio system includes a CD player, an amplifier and speakers. But the majority of systems now enclose some other components, for example, MP3 players, FM tuners, satellite speakers, etc.
Two main components of any home audio system are an amplifier and speakers. Make sure that an amplifier is strong enough, that is essential for clear sounding at higher volume.
I cannot but mentioning about mini audio systems. They are perfect for those who prefer portable and compact sound or simply have a limited space. Surprisingly, but such a system may produce quite a powerful sound with clear and deep basses. That is achieved thanks to a ported design.
