Systems
Home Theater & Media Rooms
From a properly done great-room TV to a dedicated theater with risers, acoustic treatment, and one button that starts the movie.
A home theater is the one room where the difference between a hobbyist install and a professional one is unmistakable within about ten seconds. Speaker placement, acoustic treatment, seating distance, and calibration are what separate a big TV from a room that makes people go quiet when the movie starts.
You notice it when
- One button dims the lights, drops the shades, and starts the film.
- Dialogue is intelligible without riding the volume knob.
- No visible wire anywhere in the room.
Scope
What a home theater & media rooms project includes.
Every proposal is written for the specific house. This is the shape of it.
- Dedicated theaters: risers, acoustic treatment, screen and projector
- Great-room systems with the gear hidden and the wires gone
- Dolby Atmos layouts designed for your ceiling, not from a template
- One-button control — Watch a Movie dims the lights and starts everything
- Calibrated with a microphone and meter, not by ear
- Fireplace and mantel mounts done safely, at the right height
Investment
Projects start at $4,500
A well-done great-room system starts around $4,500. Dedicated theaters with seating, treatment, and projection typically run $35,000 to $150,000.
Questions
Home Theater & Media Rooms questions
Something not covered here? Call (267) 719-3598 and ask.
Projector or a big TV?
A TV for any room with daylight — the picture is brighter and the ceiling in a lake house is rarely where a projector wants to be. Projection wins in a dedicated, light-controlled room at about 110 inches and up.
Can you mount a TV over the fireplace?
Sometimes. Above a working fireplace we measure mantel heat first, and we will tell you when the viewing angle is going to hurt your neck. A pull-down mount solves both problems when the wall is the only option.
Do cathedral ceilings ruin surround sound?
They complicate it, they do not ruin it. Atmos layouts get adapted for the slope, and some absorption on the right surfaces does most of the work. This is exactly why we design the room rather than pick a package.
