Chapter 3. Audio Components

Hacks 22–27

If picture is what makes your buddies perk up, it's audio that gets the real theater geeks. Multichannel, surround sound, Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, Neo:6: these are the terms that make the hearts of audiophiles pound a little quicker. That's largely because you can easily buy great picture; getting killer sound is a much trickier proposition.

Although there's lots of tweaking to be done in a good home theater setup, buying good gear is still the first step. This chapter begins with that subject, and then takes you into the high-end strategies for audio.
