How big of a screen should The most common question we get when it comes to home theater is about screen size. A general rule when it comes to purchasing a screen, is to get the biggest screen that fills your field of vision for the size of your room. The goal is to achieve the experience of being of in a movie theater. Every room situation is different depending on viewing distance from the screen. If you are unsure of the right screen size for your room, we are happy to help you find the right size.

If your room is fairly large, then you would need a larger pair of speakers and probably a sub to fill up the room. On the other hand, if your room is on the smaller side, you can get impactful sound out of a smaller setup. For example you can mount speakers on top of your mains to get a Dolby Atmos experience in your small room, which you should definitely consider if you enjoy action movies with full explosions and moving sound.

Dolby Atmos creates an object based surround sound listening experience that allows for full appreciation of an immersive sound design. With Dolby Atmos creating an encompassing soundscape, you experience movies the way the filmmaker intended you to experience them.
If you plan on creating a Dolby Atmos setup later, consider purchasing a receiver capable of Dolby Atmos now so that all you need to do is add the speakers later on.

Which bring us to our last point and a very important point which is planning for the future. If you purchase smaller front speakers for your current room, but move to a bigger space, you can move those to the rear and use larger front speakers. Purchasing a receiver capable of running an increased amount of speakers and subs is also a good idea. You might spend a bit more upfront, but we promise it will save you from buying another receiver in the future.

Creating a home theater can seem like a difficult task with so much to consider, but the payoff of getting it right not only saves money but will greatly improve your home theater experience.
