Why be boxed-in when you can think out of the box?
Our designs take you beyond what is called HTIB – home theater in a box. We tailor components to your desires, assembling just the right configurations for the space available, for your viewing habits and the results you want. We think of home cinema systems as a reasonably-priced luxury. Our goal is to show you how we do it.

1. Speakers first
2. Receiver next
3. Screen and projection third

Speakers first
The fact is a home viewing experience is defined first by sound, not video. The audio on home cinema systems can sound as good as at your local multiplex. Your options range from towers to tiny. Our design experts can determine how large, how many and where to place speakers to give you theater-quality surround sound. The sound in your viewing room depends more on the differences between speakers than it does on variances between receivers or other components. Also, you settle on speakers first because your choice determines the amplifier you will need.

Receiver second
Simply having the power to drive your speakers will not settle your choice of receiver. There is some difference in sound fidelity between receivers (not as great as when speakers are compared). Another consideration is how many different audio and video sources you intend to route through the amplifier. In addition, you may decide based on an amp’s remote controller. Ease of operation and flexibility for new hardware should be taken into account.

Screen and projection third
Home cinema systems can utilize rear or front projection, with different screens for each type. There are screen sizes adaptable to any room, some as large as 120 inches, with high contrast settings that allow you to watch or game in a brightly lit room. Motorized video components are making a buzz: a ceiling box that drops down to reveal and lower the projector; recessed motorized screens that tuck away when you’re not using video. Some homeowners choose large LCD, LED or Plasma TVs.

• It absolutely pays to have our professionals install home cinema systems. Some vendors and salespeople will profess the ease of installation. The fact is the design and implementation is complex, so that you have ease of operation. You will need proper wiring, and we are highly-trained wiring and cabling experts. If you want first-quality home viewing and sound, you want our top quality installation.

You may already own some of the components for home cinema systems, such as DVD players, recorders and set-top boxes. Because sound quality can differ with brands, let’s have a conversation about how your existing models will perform in your new room.

A final consideration will be whether you want your components linked to a home automation system. It’s worth considering enabling you to take sound to different places in your home.
