There are few basic things that affect the sound quality of your home theater.
- Room size and design: Sound waves bounce off hard surfaces and resonate throughout the room. A room that is all one size, without variations in wall and ceiling surfaces is going to sound different than a room with walls that stick out and a ceiling that isn't the same height throughout the room.
- Surfaces in the room: Hard surfaces bounce sound waves around, creating an echo, while soft surfaces absorb the sound, making it dull.
- Furnishings: Furniture placement is also important in home theater room design because pieces absorb and effectively block the sound from traveling around the room.
- Sound system placement: There are plenty of theories on sound system placement, but you want to make sure your home theater system speakers aren't blocked by walls or furniture.
