Why real speakers beat a soundbar
True surround
Speakers at ear level and overhead put effects exactly where they happen.
Clear dialogue
A dedicated center speaker keeps voices on the screen.
Clean and upgradeable
In-wall speakers keep the room tidy, and you can add to the system for years.
Add to any package
- WattBox power protection with remote reboot
- HDMI over Cat6 to hide the rack in a closet
- Epson projector and screen
- Lutron shades for true blackout
Common questions
How much does a home theater cost?
Equipment starts at about $3,173 at retail for Tier 1. Installation is quoted after a walkthrough of your room.
Can you add speakers to a home that is already built?
Often yes. We check attic and wall access during the quote and tell you what is possible.
Do I need Dolby Atmos?
Not to enjoy surround sound. Atmos adds overhead speakers and is available from Tier 2 up.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Each system can grow, such as adding heights or a second subwoofer.
Do I need a dedicated electrical circuit?
For larger systems, yes. We explain which tier needs one and plan it with your electrician.
