The Best Speakers for Every Home Theater Setup

Speakers make everything sound better. Movies. Music. Games. Television. Everything. They add detail and dimension and reality to every soundtrack and soundtrack element. Whether you’re putting together your first DIY 5.1 surround sound system or looking to upgrade your current setup, adding speakers is the first step toward a true home theater experience. From sleek bookshelf speakers to towering floor-standers, picking out speakers is where the fun begins.

Of course, no single speaker model is perfect for every room or listening preference. Some of you are looking for in-wall or in-ceiling speakers that minimize visual clutter. Bookshelf speakers and tower speakers are popular options for those that want bigger and better soundstage. Want some overhead Doppler? If you’re itching to try Dolby Atmos sound, we love the room-filling impacts from the Focal 300 ICA6. For top-notch sound that’s equally impressive with movies and music, check out the SVS Prime Tower Speaker and SVS Ultra Bookshelf Speaker.

You’ll also find the Focal 300 IWLCR6 In-Wall Speaker, Focal 300 ICW6 In-Ceiling Speaker, Focal 1000 ICA6, SVS Prime Center Speaker, SVS Prime Satellite Speaker, and Sonos In-Wall Speakers (just to name a few!) all over this list. Some blend into the background. Others will command attention. Instead of looking for the best speakers, find the ones that suit your room size and how you like to listen.
