Anyone who has a love of television and especially movies loves the idea of having a home cinema system. There is a great selection of systems on the market and because electrical appliances have come down in price so much in recent years there is something to suit every budget. Once upon a time home cinema was something that you could only consider if you had a lot of money to spare.The first signs of people using audio and visual technology in this way can be traced right back to the 1960s when home movies were getting to be so commonplace. There are still many older people with reels of cine film stored away in boxes in a dusty corner of the attic, but is over the last thirty years that such equipment has slowly become so much more popular. Home cinema really began to take hold in the 1980s with the advent of the Laserdisc. Sound systems were also beginning to get a lot more high tech. By the time the 90s came along it was state of the art to have a large rear projection television hooked up to a S-VHS video player or a Laserdisc. By the time that DVD and Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sound arrived on the scene in the late 1990s things were really getting interesting.Today we can apply ‘home cinema’ to a wide variety of set-ups. On only a very small budget it is possible to create a very impressive little system. DVD players have become ludicrously cheap and by wiring one of these to a normal (but the bigger the better) television and a low price 2.1 speaker system you will find that you have created yourself a nice, affordable home cinema set-up.Of course, there is always the other extreme… If you have a look at some of the home cinema installations from the high end of the market then you will soon discover that you can spend an astronomical amount of money. In the United States it is not at all unheard of to spend $100,000 on a top of the range system. Mind you, this does normally include proper ‘cinema-style’ seating arrangements in custom-built ‘screening rooms’. It is quite possible to spend thousands of pounds on high quality speakers alone. Proper aficionados of stereo sound, or ‘audiophiles’, will maintain that without spending a great deal of money it is impossible to attain a true, authentic sound. In between these two extremes, it must be said, are a lot of reasonably priced systems with some really good features. You don’t have to ‘make do’ with a very basic set-up just as it isn’t necessary to run up an enormous debt to pay for something that will be on the scrap heap whilst you are still paying off the interest. Like all things in life, you need to find a happy medium.
