When the home electronics industry invented the home theater, audio connoisseurs rejoiced! They could now place speakers anywhere or everywhere in the room and really crank out some awesome sound. Overstock.com was there, of course, cranking out some pretty awesome discounts.

Consumers now have more speakers, so new devices have been created to meet the new opportunities: speaker stands move floor standing speakers off the floor. Wall speakers can be mounted in recessed boxes in the wall or ceiling. Speaker mounts attach speakers directly to the studs and rafters. Location is the key to proper sound mix and balance and, though floor standing speakers are great, you always have more wall than floor, so take advantage of your assets! Speaker mounts let you put the audio equipment exactly where you want it.

The format of choice for most music producers is still stereo (2-channel audio). Overstock.com has loads of stereo speakers, and a good pair of tower speakers, bolted to a couple of speaker mounts, can really make your CDs sound the way they are supposed to sound. The truly daring might also sit a subwoofer on a speaker stand--think of it as adding extra boom to your boombox.

For the home theater aficionado, surround sound is a multi-channel speaker system with a center channel speaker and several satellite speakers. These allow sound engineers to blend volume, pitch and other factors to produce realistic 3-dimensional effects. Movie theaters aren't limited to two dimensions--that is, they don't put all their speakers on the floor--so why should you? Imagine the breathtaking sound that comes from those woofers and tweeters on speaker stands or speaker mounts.

The audio-video home theater is consumer electronics at its best, just like Overstock.com is online shopping at its best.
