7.1 Speaker Surround Sound Audio System

7.1 home theater systems Just a few years ago, it seemed that Onkyo was the only audio manufacturer that was serious about the 7.1 channel home theater in a box market. That's slowly changing... The Amazon Carousel above features six 2010 model 7.1 speaker HTIB audio systems that can each be purchased for less than a grand.

All six surround sound audio systems feature a 3D-ready 7.1 channel home theater receiver with Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio decoding with four 3D-ready HDMI inputs for connecting and switching among multiple OPTIONAL A/V components such as a Blu-ray Disc player, PlayStation 3, and/or HDTV receiver/ DVR.

Keep in mind that you'll probably also need to separately purchase some or all of the following extras to complete the setup of your 7.1 home theater surround sound system:

• cables such as HDMI, Ethernet, digital audio, component A/V, speaker, subwoofer, home theater surge protector

• speaker floor stands and/or wall/ceiling mounts

• A/V component rack (or available shelf space in a TV stand or entertainment center)
