Surround sound excitement—just add a TV! If you want the detailed audio of a surround sound system, without all the work of choosing separate speakers, a subwoofer, and a disc player, a home theater-in-a-box system is a great option.
At OneCall, you'll find the a great selection of the best brands in home theater for sale. These systems include all the speakers you need, and most provide a Blu-ray or DVD player, as well.
How to shop for a home-theater-in-a-box system
With so many features available, how do you choose the home theater system for you? Here are a couple of factors to consider:
Number of speakers: Most home theater-in-a-box packages are 5.1 systems, meaning they consist of 5 speakers and a subwoofer (that's the "point one" in "5.1").
If you really want to enhance your listening experience though, look for a 7.1 system. It provides two more speakers, for even more precise audio effects. You'll hear cars zoom from left to right, or crickets chirping all around you.
If, on the other hand, you prefer a more décor-friendly solution, look for a system with fewer speakers that provide "virtual" surround sound. The Bose® 3*2*1 line is an example of this type of system.
DVD or Blu-ray: As you know, DVD players redefined high-quality video when they took the place of VCRs in most home theaters. Now, Blu-ray players are setting the standard yet again. Able to store 10 times as much information as DVDs, Blu-ray discs deliver unbelievably detailed, pristine images.
Plus, most Blu-ray players can also play your current library of DVDs. So they give you both gorgeous playback for brand-new Blu-ray discs, and the ability to watch your favorite DVDs.
Remember, not everything is included in the box
When most people think of the phrase "home theater," they think of a big, bright HDTV set. However, home theater systems for sale don't come with a TV, so be sure to choose a set that works for your room.
Even though most home theater-in-a-box systems for sale include cables, you can get better quality interconnects separately. We sell high-quality cables that provide top-notch signal transfer, giving you all the audio and video detail you expect from a brand-new home theater system.
