Amplification
At the heart of any home cinema system is the amplifier or receiver. This component is crucial to performance and functionality. Not only does the amplifier process the sound and drives the speakers, it also acts as a video processor! All your source equipment connects to the amplifier then 1 x high quality HDMI lead connects to your TV or projector. This takes away the question of: How many cables do I install to the screen?
Technical note:
When matching your speakers to an amplifier, remember this: The amplifier is like as a car engine, and the speakers the car! Big engine, small car is great. Small engine, big car, not so great!
