The HTiB Options Of The Modern Home Theatre Market

by vgevge

In the movie "The Wedding Singer," Drew Barrymore's fiance comes
home with his latest purchase, a CD player. He's very happy with
his accomplishment because, being the materialistic kind of guy
that he is, he's proud of thee fact that it cost about $700. Of
course, the joke is on him and the entire audience knows it,
because the average price of a CD player today is only a couple
of hundred dollars. Still, in 1985, the year in which this movie
is set, I'm sure that $700 for a CD player was a good deal.

All electronics, from computers to alarm clocks, are
prohibitively expensive when the first come on the market, but
they become more affordable as time goes on. Home theatre audio
systems have been no different. What was once a luxury item that
only people like Donald Trump could afford is now something that
tens of thousands of Americans have in their homes. The market
has been, and continues to be, flooded with new and cheaper audio
systems, especially those of the HTiB, or Home Theatre in a Box,
variety. But again, as with all electronics, you get what you pay
for, and not all of these systems are created equal. When
selecting a home theatre audio system, there are several factors
that need to be balanced, including quality, price, and size.

If you're in college, don't have a lot of disposable income, but
simply must have a home theatre audio system, chances are you're
going to end up with a budget-priced HTiB. These systems, which
usually feature small satellite speakers and subwoofers, have an
inclination toward spotty sound quality and lack sheer oomph. To
quote Napster in The Italian Job, a budget-priced HTiB will never
be "loud enough to blow women's clothes off." But while Napster
might disapprove, such systems have their upsides. They are, as
mentioned, affordable for the average individual, and they also
tend to have the advantages of being compact and comparatively
easy to assemble.

Or perhaps you own a downtown loft in a high rise somewhere and
you want a theatre audio system that coordinates with such an
ambiance. Some HTiB manufactures offer systems that feature style
and are overtly sleek in appearance. A home theatre audio system
that goes this route will often have very petite satellite
speakers, or perhaps "tallboys," which are very slender but as
much as sixty inches tall. The advantage of a style-centric HTiB,
in addition to its elegant appearance, will probably include lots
of features and simplicity of set up. The disadvantages? Such a
system will probably have limited bass output and limited
connectivity options.

Some manufactures are now offering component packages, which are
built around separate components. These systems, while forfeiting
the traditional HTiB advantage of compactness, usually have the
benefits of solid build quality and variety of features. However,
as mentioned, such a home theatre audio system will probably be
fairly large and clunky, which won't work if you need to fit it
into your studio apartment.

Finally, if you want to go cutting-edge, there are wireless HTiB
systems that utilize the very latest in audio technology. These
are great if you can afford them, since they save space while
maintaining high quality. But as mentioned, they can be extremely
expensive and in some cases, you're better off buying separate
components.
