More and more people are getting into watching movies at home. But most do not know how to attain the level of playback that provides you this level of satisfaction. With HD now in the mainstream and prices dropping, setting up a good home theater system is not difficult to achieve.
First you need a high quality home theater AV receiver. The AV receiver is the heart of your system so it is best to get it right from the start. Onkyo has a solid reputation for making great AV receivers. The top of the line Onkyo TX-NR5008 delivers 145 watts of power to 9 channels and have enough HDMI inputs for all of your sources. It is also 3D capable in case you want to for for the 3D experience at home in the future.
Next you will need a good display and a blu-ray player. Samsung and Panasonic are the industry leaders in this field and they have products that cover all budget levels that offer really good value for money. But ultimately to get a true movie experience you will need to invest in a projection system like the Epson PowerLite 8700UB together with a good screen like those made by Stewart or Da-Lite.
