Design 

As we mention in our blog on dedicated home theaters, a successful installation is not just about technology but the overall experience. The general design matters, including screen size, seating position, speaker placement, and lighting. We collaborate with some of the top manufacturers in the industry to deliver high-caliber theaters, including speakers from Meridian Audio, projectors from Sony, and control from Savant. 

When it comes to home theater systems, a few technologies matter most, starting with a high-quality video display; options range from traditional projector-and-screen setups to modern flat-panel TVs. Immersive audio systems, such as Dolby Atmos, are also vital to providing a realistic sound experience by treating each piece of audio as an individual object. 

Audio

High-quality audio is as, if not more important, than your video display. You want immersive surround sound, which comes down to the right design, layout, and installation, as much as it does to the speakers you use. In the past, we've highlighted Bowers & Wilkins and Meridian Audio as great options for your theater. 

Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) is one of our top choices. They have optimal models optimized for movie performance. The B&W's HTM1 D3 speaker, designed with a Diamond Dome tweeter for detailed upper registers and Continuum Cone drivers for superior bass response, is a top recommendation for dedicated theaters. 

We also work with Meridian Audio, which offers diverse, high-performance solutions. We particularly love Meridian's DSP architectural speakers. The speakers can be installed flush with walls or ceilings, blending in with existing décor while delivering crisp, powerful sound. 

Video

Regarding video, we overwhelmingly recommend Sony's high-end home theater projectors, known for delivering vibrant colors, intense contrast, and bright displays. They have native 4K resolution and Motionflow technology that provides smooth and clear on-screen action with minimal image blur, ideal for live-action sports. 

Use Sony's ultra-short-throw (UST) 4K projectors for smaller, multi-purpose home theater installations. The projectors can be placed as close as 8 inches from the wall and still produce Sony's trademark clear, bright, and colorful images on screens up to 120 inches.
