What makes going to the theaters so exciting is not only the stunning visuals on that great big screen but also the sound that literally surrounded us and connected us to the flick. That same sort of sound can be had at home with a home theater setup that includes the best surround sound system. But, sound is sound, right? Is surround sound really necessary to enjoy a movie at home? Yes! Yes! And yes! Without surround sound, you won’t experience that same enveloping sound found in theaters like the bone-shaking booms of explosions that rock you in your seat, the creepy creek of a floor coming from behind you, or the gentle caress of a rain shower.
