Setup tips for Lithuanian homes
The characteristics of Lithuanian housing have a significant impact on the selection and placement of the right sound system. In a typical Lithuanian apartment, the ceiling height is about 2.7–3.0 m, and the walls are usually well insulated, with minimal sound reflections. Such an acoustic environment is perfect for 5.1 systems, which can effectively provide high-quality sound. The size of the space becomes a decisive factor in choosing the system that meets your needs.
Living in a private house, where the area of the space can reach 80-150 m², opens up the possibility of installing more powerful systems. Models such as the Dali Oberon 5 5.1 or the Klipsch Reference Theater Pack ensure uniform sound distribution even in large rooms.
Compatibility with popular Lithuanian devices
Samsung, LG, and Sony TVs, which are extremely popular in Lithuania, are perfectly compatible with various sound system models. For example, the JBL BAR 800 and Sonos Beam Gen 2 use the HDMI eARC connector, which ensures the highest quality digital audio transmission.
Meanwhile, AV amplifiers such as Yamaha, Denon or Marantz, which you can purchase through AUTOGARSAS.LT, work perfectly with passive speakers. Models such as the Monitor Audio Bronze 200 , Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 or Polk Audio Signature S55 allow you to exploit the full sound potential.
Practical layout solutions
Soundbars are great for smaller spaces. For example, the JBL BAR 800 can be mounted on the wall, and a wireless subwoofer allows you to avoid the chaos of wires. The compact design of the Sonos Beam Gen 2 not only saves space, but also fits into modern minimalist interiors.
In large rooms, the advantages of 5.1 systems become even more pronounced. It is recommended to place the rear speakers 2-3 meters away from the listeners, and the subwoofer can be hidden behind the sofa or in the corners of the room. Due to the thick walls typical of Lithuanian houses, bass penetration is lower, which reduces the likelihood of neighbors complaining about noise.

FAQs
How to choose the right home theater speaker system based on the size of the room?
When planning to purchase a home theater speaker system, it is important to consider the size of the room – both its area and the height of the ceilings. Why is this important? Because the size of the room directly determines how powerful the speakers you will need to make the sound clear and pleasant.
To ensure the best sound experience, it is worth measuring the area of the room in square meters and the ceiling height in meters. These measurements will help you choose the right size of speakers and their placement so that the sound spreads evenly and fills the entire space.
If your room is smaller, there's no need to go overboard with powerful speakers - smaller speakers may be a better choice. They'll provide quality sound without the unnecessary reverberation or sound reflections that often occur in small spaces.
What is the difference between 5.1 and 2.0 sound systems?
A 5.1 sound system has five main sound channels and one subwoofer . This creates an immersive surround sound effect. This type of system is ideal for watching movies, playing games, or other activities where it is important that sounds come from multiple directions.
Meanwhile, a 2.0 sound system only includes two speakers and provides stereo sound. This option is simpler and is perfect for everyday music listening or smaller home setups. However, it does not create the surround sound experience that can be experienced with a 5.1 system.
The fundamental difference lies in the scope and impact of the sound : a 5.1 system allows you to fully immerse yourself in a world of sounds coming from all directions, while a 2.0 system offers a simpler, more direct sound.
Are my TV and other devices compatible with these sound systems?
Yes, most home theater sound systems can be connected to TVs and other devices without much difficulty. The most popular connection types are HDMI ARC/eARC , optical cables, Bluetooth , and analog connections. Among them, HDMI ARC/eARC stands out due to its high sound quality and ease of use.
Before connecting, it is important to check that both your TV and sound system support the type of connection you have chosen. If necessary, make sure you have the appropriate cables or adapters. Using wireless solutions such as Bluetooth , you can easily connect additional speakers or loudspeakers, if they are compatible with your system.
