CONT

Satellite or surround-sound speakers. Sold separately or in sets of three or five, these smaller speakers (under 12 inches) do the job of two bulky floor-standing models, and then some. In these small, multiple-speaker sets, treble and midrange are handled by separate speakers, leaving the bass to a single subwoofer. Some home theater speaker kits are made up of identical satellite speakers that are perfectly matched.
