A home theater is really a handful of purchases that have to work together: a display, something to drive and play the sound, speakers, a subwoofer, seating, and the wiring that ties it together. Each tier below keeps those parts in balance at a target budget so nothing is the weak link. Click any product to open it on Amazon.
Before you buy, size the parts to your own room: the screen size calculator sets the diagonal from your seating distance, the throw distance calculator tells you where a projector has to sit, the brightness calculator matches lumens to that screen, and the speaker sizing calculator checks the speakers against your room volume.
