First they have to have an idea of what they want and what type of experience they want to have. Do they just want to hear sound come out, or do they actually want to feel the experience? That would determine how much money they want to spend on the system. If they just want to get a little bit more of an experience other than hearing out of their television speakers, then you could go for the low end model. But if they are trying to get closer to a theater, where they can hear the sound come from different areas and get more of rumble, then they want to go with the higher end models.
It's important to know the dimensions of the room where you are going to install your home theater system in. One of the most important things is the placement of your couch or the actual place where you will be listening to your television set. Sometimes people like to put couches on an angle and things like that. If your listening position isn't set around the speakers, then you won't get the full effect of the sound. So if you want to experience the best, your couch should be center of the largest speaker.
Sometimes people try to put a huge television in a small room, but actually the distance from the television is what matters. The closer you are to the television, the smaller the television should be.
