Significance
-
Home theater rear speakers assist in creating a true surround sound experience. These speakers along with the other (at least two front and one center) speakers make it possible to have audio quality that rivals that heard in movie theaters. Without the rear surround speakers, the audio heard would not include much of the sounds needed to accomplish this.
Function
-
The rear speakers of a home theater arrangement are used to hear the small background sounds. These noises produce the effect that you are in the middle of the action. They are employed at any time you desire to have true surround sound. Rear speakers are used in actual movie theaters or in residences for home theater setups, video game consoles, PCs or laptops and other electronic components.

Types
-
Rear speakers can be purchased as part of a complete home theater system or what is often known as a HTB (home theater in a box). You can also buy them separately to add to an already existing stereo system. This allows you to use your existing components to create a home theater arrangement.
Features
-
In order to create the right surround sound audio, you must have a complete home theater system properly installed. This includes a digital audio receiver, multi-channel (speaker) system along with a HDTV tuner (or standard one) or DVD (or other format) player. You should have at least two front, one center, two rear speakers and a subwoofer. All of these must be appropriately positioned around the listening area to create the audio desired.

The sizes vary from a few inches to over three feet tall with numerous widths. The shapes can be square, rectangle, circular and others. The watts start at 5 and go well over 100 each.
