Surround sound is designed to bring the movie theater into your living room. Speakers are tragically placed to allow for the movement of sound from left to right and back again. When buying your surround sound speakers, consider where they will be placed. Special hangars may be required to mount speaker to wall surfaces, and you will want to consider some way to hide the speaker wires. If you don' t want speakers hanging on the wall, consider purchasing special stands that will both hide the wires and provide a safe spot for the speakers. Finally, take the time to measure the room so you will know exactly how much speaker wire to purchase or proper installation.
