subject: The Price Of A Movie And A Baby Sitter. Is It Worth It? [print this page] A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it. Movie watching has always been a big, long and tiring process for all of us. First you need to get the tickets booked for your favorite movie. And trust me it is not as easy as it sounds. Even if you manage to get lucky with that, the availability of a reliable baby sitter decides your fate. That also done then arrives the BIG day. Trust me when I call it a big day. It is in fact one in terms of the money involved. Your parking, popcorn and potables cost a fortune. On the whole the movie watching experience at the theatres has become more a pain rather than pleasure.
This is when the term home theater was coined and introduced. As the name implies it is a combination of different electronic appliances which more or less replicates the theatre experience in your living room. The effect is much better than an ordinary television. The movie theatres have three speakers behind the huge screen and many more in the hall to manage the acoustics. The home theatre system also provides similar sound provisions to try and recreate the magic of the theatre, especially for adventure movies and the like.
Best home theater reviews opens with an attractive picture of the Harman Kardon HKTS 14 loud speaker system. It is a six piece loud speaker system comprising of 200 watt, 12 inch sub woofer. One speaker is placed in the center and the front, while the others are satellite speakers positioned in front and the rear ends. The whole set uses a unique color and come along with the speaker cables. Wall mountings for the satellite speakers and shelf stands also are included in this beautiful set. For those who already have the Harman Kardon sound receiver, this HKTS 14 model is a great complement product, although it goes along well with any model of home theater.
The website goes on to explain the great quality and output of the HKTS 14 loud speaker system. The acoustic effect and performance is better than other popular high end models. Many music freaks love to own sub woofers for the quality of sound they produce and this model is correctly aimed at these potential customers. If you have already bought a receiver, you should immediately invest in this product. The Harman Kardon sound receiver is priced at $349. That is the price to make your friends totally jealous of you. Every Friday night can become a movie night.
The next review is of the Harman Kardon CP40. It is a combination of a DVD player, receiver and also a surround sound system, hence has the name home theater in a box (HTiB). The DVD player is capable of playing even the DivX format giving you high clarity. Though it does not have a HDMI output or input, there is a two way speaker, four satellite speakers, a ten inch sub woofer and a center speaker. Harman Kardon speakers are very popular for the sound and acoustic quality and effect they create. The crowning glory is the EzSet by Harman Kardon, which lets you control the volume levels of individual speakers separately, which makes your home theater one of to notch quality. The up conversion feature can be better than this. If you are particular about getting a sharper, clearer picture you may have to buy a blu ray disc player.
