Get the Perfect Picture

When it comes to visuals, it’s all about clarity and detail. A 4K Ultra HD TV is a fantastic choice for most homes, offering sharp color, contrast, and deep blacks. Want something even more cinematic? A 4K projector paired with a high-quality screen will turn your space into a mini theater with larger-than-life visuals. If you want the scale of a projector and screen but with the convenience of a TV, try Sony’s BRAVIA XR Class X90L televisions—with the largest option clocking in at 98 inches, it’s the perfect compromise.

Surround Sound Means You’ll Feel Every Moment

Sound is just as important as the picture. A 5.1 surround sound system (five speakers and a subwoofer) is a popular choice and can be installed to give you full, crisp sound from every corner. But if you’re looking for a deeper level of immersion, a 7.1 system adds two more speakers, making it feel like you’re right in the middle of the action.

For the best experience, we recommend professional installation. Pros will know how to place your speakers perfectly so you get the best sound throughout your space.

Soundproofing to Keep the Noise In (and Out)

If you really want to take your home theater up a notch, soundproofing is key. Installing insulated walls and acoustic panels will keep sound from getting out and help enhance the audio inside your theater. You can also soundproof doors and windows to block outside noise so that nothing interrupts your movie night.

Comfort Is Everything

A high-quality home theater doesn’t stop at the sound and picture—comfort is crucial. Professional designers can help you pick out the perfect seating arrangement, making sure everyone has a clear view of the screen and can enjoy balanced sound.

Custom-built recliners or comfortable sectionals with ergonomic designs are great options. They will keep you comfortable during movie marathons and blend easily with the rest of your home’s décor.

Control It All with a Tap

Managing your home theater should be as easy as enjoying it. With smart automation systems like Savant or Control4, you can control everything from the TV and sound to lighting and shades with just one remote or app. If you want to dim the lights, turn up the volume, and start your movie all at once, automation makes it a cinch. 

Elevate Your Entertainment

Creating a professional-quality home theater involves choosing the right equipment and partnering with the pros to ensure everything is set up for maximum impact. With the perfect display, immersive sound, and soundproofing, any room in your home can become a theater-quality entertainment zone.
