Some stereo speakers are only compatible with certain components. Most of the time, certain speakers are a better match for certain components. Take stock of the stereo equipment you are planning to buy and make sure you match up the speaker to the components.
Now that you have established how much money you have and the requirements for your theater system, your next move is to research all fo the models that fit both of these pre-requisites. This research will get you a list of speakers to choose from.
The next step is to read as many reviews as possible about the speaker models on your list.

The things you want to focus on are the warranty, the performance and the sound quality.
