A typical home theater speaker system comprises several key components:

- Surround Speakers: These speakers, usually placed on the side walls, create a sense of envelopment, making you feel like you’re in the middle of the action.
- Subwoofer: This specialized speaker handles low-frequency sounds, providing powerful bass and enhancing the overall impact of movies and music.
