If you are putting together a home theater component system and are looking for a matched speaker system to connect to your surround sound receiver, you've come to the right website! Located in the two columns to the left of every page are links to surround sound speaker systems from dozens of leading audio manufacturers.

But before you purchase any speakers, you should first think through potential locations and wiring for six to eight separate speakers. Your speaker options are much greater in new construction because you can much more easily pre-wire for an entirely in-wall, in-ceiling, or on-wall speaker system before the walls and ceiling are in place.

Most of the surround sound speakers showcased on this site are 5.1 channel systems, which means that they include five speakers plus a subwoofer for producing all the low frequency bass effects. 7.1 channel speaker systems include seven speakers plus a subwoofer.

Many people go with a 5.1 surround sound speaker system with the understanding that they can add two additional matching speakers sometime in the future if and when they choose to upgrade to 7.1 surround sound. Sony offers a unique speaker system that can be set up for either 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound!

If you anticipate extreme difficulty running all the necessary speaker wires in existing construction but still want a really nice sounding home theater speaker system, you should consider a "wireless" surround sound speaker system. If you prefer to ELIMINATE surround speakers located in the back of the room all together, consider going with Atlantic Technology's 7-channel or Polk Audio's 5-channel surround bar speaker, plus a powered subwoofer!

Pictured above is the best surround sound receiver and speaker system bundle currently available from Tiger Direct. When you order the Yamaha 7.2 channel receiver and Klipsch 5.1 speaker system together, you save hundreds of dollars off their individual prices compared to if you were to buy the receiver and speakers separately.
