Satellite/Subwoofer Speaker Systems
The trend in speaker design is smaller size. People want to be able to enjoy great sound in their homes, but without the clutter that is normally associated with audio speakers. That makes sense. After all, it’s what comes out of the speaker that’s important, not the speaker itself, right? But speakers are large for a reason. A large speaker can accommodate a large woofer, the part of the speaker that reproduces deep bass tones. These are the sounds that you feel as much as hear. Without them, music and movie soundtracks lose much of their liveliness and energy. And that’s not what we’re looking for, right?.

Some acoustic magic
So far, this is what we know:

Big speakers = Big bass
Small speakers = Weak bass

But speaker designers have a little trick up their sleeves. It seems that the human ear has trouble localizing the deepest bass tones. That means it’s difficult for us to discern if a bass sound is coming from the left, right, or from behind us. Now, this applies only to the deep bass sounds. If both of our ears function correctly, we have no trouble telling where higher pitched sounds are coming from.

So along comes some smart speaker engineer with a great idea. Put the large bass woofers in a cabinet separate from the other speakers. The small woofer-less speakers are called the satellites. The cabinet containing the woofer is known as the subwoofer (sub or below all the other sounds). And since we can’t localize bass sounds, we only need one subwoofer, instead of two.

All of a sudden we now have a speaker system that not only sounds great, but is also very easy to live with. Again, because we can’t localize bass sounds, the subwoofer can be put just about anywhere in the room: behind furniture, under a table, hidden behind drapery—you name it. The tiny satellite speakers should be placed at ear level in a normal stereo arrangement for optimum performance.

Is a subwoofer/satellite speaker system right for you?

first Sound Advice store opened in 1974. We were all very young, as were many of our customers. We worked very hard, and in return our customers, their kids, and their grandkids grew to become very loyal. Because of their support, Sound Advice was successful and we eventually took the company public in 1986, and after almost thirty years, we sold the business.

Unfortunately, the company who bought the business, lost sight of what a Sound Advice customer expected. The company we worked so hard to create fell apart. After 34 years, Sound Advice closed its doors.

But ironically, buying electronics today is harder than ever. Selection of the right equipment, and proper set-up are complicated and often frustrating. And, almost exactly as it was in 1974, consumers are limited to, purchasing electronics from “big box” stores, where it is nearly impossible to get a question answered, or purchasing from the individual salesman operating out of his truck. In both cases, getting a demonstration or presentation is nearly impossible.

Seeing this void in the industry, we bought back what was left of Sound Advice, gathered the old team and have set up a network throughout Florida to serve our customers, whether or not we have a showroom in their area.

We built our business on “Satisfaction”. We want you to be completely satisfied with your TV, speakers, home theater, etc. Actually we want you to be thrilled. Throughout the years, we have found the best route to satisfaction is communication. We need to hear what you want and don’t want – in turn, you need to hear all of your options and the pros and cons of each. And although this site includes lots of helpful product selection information, it is no substitute for working directly with you. Simply contact us and we will be happy to discuss your needs and perhaps arrange, a convenient in-home demonstration of products you’re interested in, or discuss any services you might need.

You’ll notice that many of the products on our site are not available for purchase directly from the site. That’s because we want to ensure compatibility with your other equipment, and then set up the product in a way that maximizes performance. For example, a television requires at least an hour to set up the channels and test the interaction with other components like the cable converter, computer, audio, etc. Plus, you’ll need a short tutorial. In most cases, there will be no charge for the delivery and set up.

Our prices will, as always, be fair. It is our belief that there will always be room for a company that provides superior service, expertise, support with people that can explain and integrate all of today’s technologies so the customer gets the most enjoyment and least aggravation from their electronics.

Give us a chance, I promise we will exceed your expectations.
