Some tips to buy good audio systems
- Always listen to the stereo before you buy. Do not go by appearances and specifications. Always take a favourite piece of music along, so that you can play it and check out the sound.
- Buy the stereo only from original dealers. Do not visit people who promise to give you the same stereo for a much lesser price.
- Make sure you understand the installation details for the stereo. Do make sure that accessories that are required like a remote control, speakers, speaker cables etc are present. Also find out whether these cost extra or are included in the base cost.
- Make sure that delivery costs are factored in before the final buy.
- If you are buying a home theatre systems make sure you understand the speaker configuration and their placement. The sub woofer has to be hidden and the front and centre speakers configured according to the acoustics of the room.
- To understand amplification, do not go by the Peak Music Power Output. That is the output delivered when the stereo is working under ideal conditions. Always ask for the Root Mean Square output for the amplifier and your speakers. This is what the system will actually deliver as the RMS is the degree of amplification undertaken by the stereo from the input signal.
- Do check for the distortion factor. Do not hesitate to turn up the volume and check the sound distortion and the bass response.
