Can someone help explain how a home theatre receiver and subwoofer work?
We just moved into a new home and it has all built in speakers and surround sound wiring. The wires all terminate in a small hall closet where the previous owner states he had his equipment. He has now since now been very forth coming with information. I am trying to purchase the "equipment' needed for my husband for xmas. Will I need just a Home Theater Receiver, or will I also need a subwoofer? If ony a receiver is a 550W good enough?
If your planning on using the existing speakers and wiring you have a small problem. Everything is set up for the home theater but the previous owner didn't like or have the space to put his devices. Meaning the receiver and maybe everything was stored in that closet. That requires remote controls that will send a signal thru or around a wall to control the equipment. This is great if you don't want clutter but I feel it would be a pain to have to go and look at the devices to see if they are on and working correctly. (A home theater receiver might come as a package with the sub and 5 speakers)
If you store the receiver under the tv, all you need to do is run the speaker and subwoofer wiring to the closet. A stand alone receiver will have connections for running the wires. You might have to add a dvd player or upgrade to a blu ray player that connects to the internet for streaming movies.
You need a sub woofer for the bass sounds. That receiver above should work fine. If you want to check around, go to http://www.cnet.com for reviews and http://www.bestbuy.com and http://www.nextag.com for pricing.
I hope I've helped you some. Enjoy
