Maybe you just bought a brand new and shiny smart TV for your living room. Maybe you want to enjoy your movies and TV series online or on pay-TV, but something is missing… You are most likely not satisfied enough with the audio experience. You would like to be there in the middle of the scene of your favorite TV series, and instead, you hear the noises of the adjacent room all too well, and your sofa at home does nothing but reaffirm that you are alone in your living room. Surely choosing the best home theater system for the home with an ad-hoc audio system could change things and give you that extremely immersive feeling you are looking for!
Let’s analyze some parameters that can be useful in our choice.

How to choose the best home theater system
Power
what does it mean? First of all, it will be necessary to read the power that each manufacturer communicates. This transmission power is expressed in Watts RMS. For example, if the device has a power of 500 Watts RMS, this will mean that the system will deliver a sound, clean and without any distortion, at that given power.
Obviously, the greater the measurement, the greater the supply power. Once this threshold is exceeded, your system will continue to operate, but the quality will drop drastically because the signal will be distorted.
Be very careful in ascertaining this fact. Usually, the manufacturers prefer commercial reasons to declare the value in Watt PMPO rather than in RMS.
But what does PMPO mean? Peak Music Power Output. Trivially, the maximum level is supported by the plant before taking damage. This value includes a distortion threshold in the light of what we said a little while ago.
2.1 or 5.1?
It is believed, erroneously, that a 5.1 installation can be better than a 2.1. This is not exactly the case. Both provide excellent quality and experience. Which one to choose then?
If the room where you will arrange everything is not suitable for placing two speakers behind you, it will be better to opt for 2.1 without compromising the immersive experience. On the contrary, you can enjoy a 5.1 if your station’s size and organization allow it.
Audio quality
Obviously, the quality of your system will not work wonders if you play poor-quality files. In addition to the optimization on the hardware side (the system), you will also have to optimize the software side. For example, playing audio files in .flac or .mp3 format at 320 Kbps.
