How much does a home cinema cost?
Like most things before jumping straight to the cost firstly you have to understand the value. The average person might reflect back on fond memories of off the shelf surround sound speaker packages from the 90s and think that this is home cinema! the question you have to ask is does this sound better than a commercial cinema? If the answer is no, then you have experienced about 20% of what’s possible and also about 20% in value of you get back in terms of performance.
Fast Forward to 2020
Today it is possible to get an entry level Atmos sound bar setup that would performs just as well as your 90s setup. But don’t go rushing out to buy an Atmos sound bar yet, this is not home cinema. Good sound performance depends on the room size, most soundbars are all in one solutions and only really effective in a small room or for a second TV, this is not home cinema, this is known as a media room, media rooms perform well for music or stereo TV sound, the sound is certainly better than TV sound though and still worth the investment but you will not acheive sepperation in effects required for a Home Cinema or Home Theatre, below we have selected speaker packages that have the best performance to cost ratio.
