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.
