Have you ever experienced watching in a movie theatre only to come out with a terrible case of stiff neck? The first five rows often have this effect since you end up spending the next hour and a half tilting your head back. The greatest news about setting up your own theatre in your home is that you don’t have to go through this dilemma.
A family entertainment center or FEC is actually a term that is designated to an entire industry. This is also the same term used for a segment in that same industry.
If you want to bring the world of entertainment right into your home, then it’s time to learn a few guidelines –
Purchase the Right TV Size for Your Entertainment Center
Your natural inclination might be to buy the biggest possible TV that you can find. That humongous TV can instantly become the statement piece in the room. The problem with quickly picking a television is that it could turn out to be too large for the viewing distance. With the wrong size comes the inability to see the entire image or screen.
Low resolution images look bad when shown at a tight distance. With that overly large display comes a rather underwhelming show, so, instead of automatically purchasing the biggest projection screen or television, find out what is the ideal size for your home theatre.
There are online calculators that will tell you the right range of TV sizes for your home entertainment piece and the room where it is going to be situated. The general rule, though, is that the viewing distance must be between 1 ½ times the diagonal width of an HDTV, and about 3 times the diagonal of an SD screen.

Buy the Right Speakers and/or Subwoofers
Speakers come with their own cabinets because the drivers inside them need a good amount of space as well as air resistance. If these two are achieved, then you can be guaranteed of quality sound.
Speakers that are placed inside another cabinet, therefore, are, in essence, hidden. Their placement defeats the very purpose of having speakers in the first place. Consider placing your entertainment center in-wall if you need the speakers to be placed out of sight. This is a design that won’t take up much space while still yielding better sound.
This same rule should be doubled for subwoofers.
Invest in the Right Entertainment Center
An entertainment center is a piece of furniture that serves as a platform or hiding space for the TV. Corded equipment are also placed there which is why furniture manufacturers reinvented the entertainment center. Now, it is not just a functional storage piece but a display unit as well. Nowadays, don’t just expect to see a TV in an entertainment center. This could also hold travel mementos, books, even an interesting collection of wine.
You might love the TV as one of the most important appliances in your home but it should not be the only piece that should get attention from everyone. Imagine shelving your family photo albums in the entertainment center.
Keeping a stock of wine can also be another purpose of this furniture piece. You can begin with a bottle or two of wine standing upright in one of the shelves and have the rest of the rows filled up with some more bottles. Make sure that some wine glasses are also added to make the entertainment center a unique sight to behold.
Herringbone shelving can also become a part of this piece so that more bottles can be added. It is believed that this kind of storage is the best type that would keep the corks moist.
The entertainment center could also be bought at a size that can hold travel, architecture and cook books.
