If the video is excellent, it almost demands better audio.

Today’s best home theater systems are feature-rich, yet streamlined, and provide a vastly improved experience over the built-in speakers getting crammed thinner and thinner form factors.

Top Home Theater Systems

Ready to take that movie to a new level at home? These are our favorite top-rated home theater systems. This post includes a mix of all-in-one, add-on, and peripheral systems to fit different budgets.

1. Nakamichi Shockwafe Elite

Best Overall

Nakamichi Shockwafe Elite 7.2.4 Home Theater System

  • Transform your living room into a premium cinema within minutes. Experience deep, room-filling bass with…

Modeled after Nakamichi’s flagship, award-winning 9.2.4 sound system, this scaled-down version is a less expensive option with the same bones. 

The spatial surround elevation modes and one-button room optimization provide sound control based on your room size. The eight-speaker soundbar is the star of the show, with a supporting cast of two two-way surround speakers and two dual wireless subwoofers.

It’s a great plug-and-play system with immersive 360-degree harmonic, bass-driven sound delivered in multiple layers, direct, above, below, and on either side.

  • Dolby Vision and 4K UHD HDR compatible
