Well, for a basic Home Theater system, you need two to three speakers in front of you and two or three speakers either to your sides or behind you.
I'm not sure if you mean the brand or the actual variety of speakers, but home theater magazine has a buyer's guide specifically for speakers.

How much power do tiny speakers produce?
Okay, it depends upon what you mean by "tiny". All surround sound speakers should be matched up with a subwoofer. If you have surround speakers that read a wattage rating as 100 watts, that is what they will produce, but don't expect them to thump out a lot of bass. I have a 7.1 home theater with Klipsch surround sound speakers, they are rated at 200 watts apiece and do produce a small amount of bass, but I also have them teamed up with a 500 watt subwoofer and the whole entire system sounds great!

2.1 versus 5.1 home theater?
Both of these numbers refer to the speaker set up of the home theater. 2.1 represents two front channel speakers (left and right) and one LFE (low frequency effects) channel, otherwise known as the subwoofer. 5.1 surround sound is just that: you are surrounded by speakers. You have your left channel, right channel and subwoofer (as in 2.1) but you also have a center speaker and two surround speakers (generally in plane with your seating position or slightly behind it). For real 'home theater' applications, 5.1 surround sound is going to provide you with the better movie watching experience. All modern movies and in fact most DVDs (and Blu-Ray etc) have 5.1 surround tracks on them. By playing these movies on a 2.1 home theater, all of the sound that would go to the center speaker or the surround speakers is played only by the front two speakers. A 5.1 surround system versus a 2.1 system will draw you into the movie and give you a better experience. All standard definition television content is broadcast in stereo and for this, there is no benefit of 5.1. For home theater applications, however, 5.1 is the way to go.
