Consumer technology is very interesting; due to the accessibility of equipment and materials almost everyone starts believing that they are the experts in this field. However this may lead to the formation of beliefs which are entirely inaccurate. Look through these three most common myths, often perpetuated by wellmeaning, but misinformed 'experts.' The Bigger the Better
Many people think that the size of your television is a main factor in determining the quality of home theater. So if you don't have a very large screen in your system this means that you have assembled a subar system. In fact, a smaller screem can also work well in many circumstances. Generally, most people don't use the screen less than twentyseven inches in size. In many settings twentyseven inches is an adequate size. You should choose the screen depending upon the people sitting relative to it and upon the quality of TV. Bigger screens are great for watching movies but it most cases they can't provide an optimal experience. You should have an approporiate space and a good seating plan in order to use the big screen effectively. Older projection televisions, independent of their size give a bad viewing experience for people who are looking at the screen from an angle. If you have enough space and can afford yourself a high quality laarge screen you can do that. But if your resourses are limited and you tend to choose less expensive and poor quality large screen give the preference to a smaller screen instead in order to have a good home theater experience.  You Must Be a Wealthy Person
Most people consider home thater systems as devices for rich people only. They are convinced that it is not profitable and cost effective to invest in a home theater system unless you have a significant amount of income.
However, it is not true. Home theaters used to be a diversion for the wealthy but today's systems can be very afforable and can fit any budget and needs of the consumers. Of course a huge sum of money can be spent on a topoftheline home theater which design can replicate the real cinema exerience. But it is also possible to find a quality movie theater which will be reltively inexpensive and can meet your needs. Bargain shopping, the growth of 'home theater in a box' options and the overall decrease in price for consumer electronics is a great and practical option to save your money on home theater system. It should be mentioned that having a home theater is more economical than going to the cinema. Size is Everything
If your speakers don't tower over your head and don't take up most of the room space it means that your home theater system is not good. Most consumers think that a great sound can be achieved only by having huge speakers that make the building shake. This belief have probably come from the experience with older technology. A few decades ago there were only bigger speakers availiable that really packed a punch. However today's technology become more advanced and there are systems with small seakers which can fit any interioir and room size and that manage to produce a highfidelity sound as the tower speakers of earlier generations. The dream of a real audiophile is to have large speakers which can really blow one away. In other case you should look for quality small speakers.
