Home Theater Design starting at $15,000

At a certain equipment level, we begin to transform a mere media room into a true Home Theater experience. Here we offer projection systems over Flat Panels for most of our clients.  The clarity of High Definition becomes more important as the size of the screen increases, and this is the price point at which 1080p Projection systems become common place and BluRay is nearly always in the bid.  There is a lot more to how well a picture looks than native resolution. You don’t have to sweat the details because we guarantee you will have a great picture. 

In addition to having an outstanding video system, this is the price range where streaming content can become part of your system, although we typically recommend full blown media servers for multi-room distribution packages.  We have a variety of easy to use single-room options for accessing your volumes of digital music, internet radio, stored video, and streaming movie rentals over the internet.

Another step in this evolution into the theater experience comes from using a “Pre-Amplifier” and “Power Amplifier” instead of a receiver. Receivers are great in that they are a “jack of all trades”, and some of the high end receivers are more powerful than a lot of the separate amplifiers on the market.  But, if you run a Pre-Amp and a separate Amplifier you should immediately notice the increased dynamics and overall fidelity in both music and movies.

Here is where we introduce THX certified speaker packages.  A THX certified speaker comes with a guarantee that you have more than enough sound pressure and quality for certain sized rooms.  We have many different THX and non-THX certified speakers in this price range, including floor-standing towers, bookshelf, on-wall, in-wall and in-ceiling packages.  We have a solution for you no matter what style of speaker system you prefer.  We also include a powerful subwoofer to really deliver the bass in music and explosions in movies.  A common request is for a discrete in-wall subwoofer for those who do not want a box in the corner.

All systems in this range include a universal remote control to control all of your equipment with a single remote.  Protection from electrical surges and AC power noise is also factored into these systems by default.  You need to protect your electronics from the power they use, from spikes in the power lines, and you need replacement protection from lightning damage.  We use Monster Cable’s Monster Power Line Conditioning products as our “go to” equipment for stellar performance, competitive pricing and the Replacement Protection Coverage on all connected products.  You are paying for quality equipment so we include the necessary power products so your equipment can operate at it’s full potential and not be damaged by AC power irregularities.


Package Typically Includes

Front Projection

Front projectors work well in a room at least 14’ in length and control over the ambient light. Our common range of screen sizes ranges from 84” to 120”. The screen is very important to a projector and we tailor the projector and it’s screen to best match the room’s layout.

Blu-Ray / DVD Player

Blu-Ray has won the war over HD-DVD and has become the best way to deliver 1080p content to your TV. We match up a great BluRay player with your projector or flat panel TV to deliver the best images. We also have some fantastic DVD players that improve a DVD’s resolution if you want to continue to use your DVD collection.

Media Server

Manage your DVD and CD collections from on screen menus that are intuitive and easy to use. Instantly access and play any DVD with out having to search your house for the disc.

Room Lighting Control

Having lighting controls in your Home Theater will allow you to set your room’s lights to your favorite levels for movies. Push a button and the lights dim for the movie, push another button and they return to normal luminance. With room lighting control you are the one who determines how bright and dim the lights should be.

Pre-Processor

Receivers are “Jack of all trades” while a Pre-Amplifier specializes is only delivering perfect audiophile grade sound to your external amplifier. Pre-Amps are traditionally the “Brains” of your high end audio system and have superior circuitry for audio processing when compared to receivers. The man benefit that a Pre-Amplifier has, in addition to the superb sound quality, is the ability to be upgraded as necessary while still retaining your amplifier to work with the new pre-amp. Higher end Pre-Amps are built to be upgraded as technology changes.

Power Amplifier

Amplifiers specialize in powering speakers, it’s all they do and they do it very well. With a separate amplifier you gain a lot of sound quality, dynamic range and quite a bit more power when compared to the majority of receivers. High end audio systems use separate Pre-Amps and Amps almost exclusively.

THX Level Speakers

Once you have experienced THX Certified speakers, you will have to have them. THX Certified Speaker Systems are designed and built to deliver smooth, rich bass, a very wide soundstage and exact imaging. THX speakers are available in traditional Floor standing towers, Bookshelf monitors, and available in dipole, in-ceiling and in-wall applications. Every THX Certified speaker undergoes a rigorous series of tests ensuring you always experience the full impact of your favorite music, movies, and games.

ISF Video Calibration

Out of the box no TV looks the way it should. The TV has been set up to attract your eye in a show room because this leads to increased sales. The picture is too bright, the sharpness control is turned too high and there is too much blue in the picture. An ISF video calibration is the single greatest way to improve your TV’s picture, reduce the power consumption, and restore your colors to the settings that give you that deep, bold Viking Purple, Packer Green and Bangle Orange. An ISF calibration adjusts the black and white settings, color settings and tailors the TV to the room’s environment. The average ISF calibration yields a 25% to 50% power savings.

Rack Mount Media Closet

A rack is a great option for the client who does not wish to see all the electronics in the same room as the Home Theater. We have many different options for a custom experience, and we set the equipment up so that your remote(s) will work like normal in your viewing room.

Universal Remote

We strongly recommend our customers to use one remote for everything. This eliminates the clutter of multiple remotes that only get used for one or two buttons. We have a few different brands of universal remotes, so it’s a safe bet that we have a remote for every type of client. Universal remotes are a little more complex looking than a standard factory remote, but they are just as easy to use once you learn the functions and buttons.

Surge Protection

Every home system needs protection from the surges, spikes and the inherent dirty nature of AC power that the equipment is connected to. Monster Cable makes some excellent line conditioners that protect you from surges, filter the noise form the power, and protect your connected equipment with Monster’s Limited Equipment Warrantee. This package feature’s Monster Cable’s “Clean Power Stage 2 version 2.0” and has a 2960 Joule rating for surge suppression. Advanced protection for a higher end application is essential.

Wire & Cable

We match up all of our systems with Monster Cable for their superb pure copper and large conductor area. This improves the delivery of power, widens the dynamic range, improved bass performance and frequency response. Monster Cable also includes special strandings for improved clarity and more natural music reproduction without taking up more space. Monster Cable’s Audio and Video cables are among the best in the industry. The cables that connect your equipment are as important as the equipment itself. Quality equipment matches with quality cables gives you a better experience every time.

Professional Installation

We are professionally trained, certified and experienced. We can install, setup and calibrate all the equipment. No hassle, no fuss, everything works and you get to enjoy the experience!
