This is the price range at which we begin to transfer a mere media room into a true Home Cinema. Here we offer projection systems over Flat Panels for most of our clients, and as the screen size increases, the clarity of high definition becomes more important. That’s why we include a much more capable receiver in this package to handle the load. We also throw in a Blu-ray disc player and basic media server, so you can take advantage of the large display in all its HD beauty.
Receivers in this price range are extremely powerful devices with numerous features. All video inputs get upconverted to HDMI so you only have one high-definition cable running to your TV, and all speaker channels receive 130 to 140 watts of power. Like in the previous price point, these receivers also have the capability of powering a second pair of speakers in another room, enabling you to watch a movie on your TV and listen to music in another room simultaneously.
To match your outstanding video system, this price range includes a powerful 7.1 speaker system. The other benefit of this price point is that the speakers themselves are extremely customizable; there are many configurations for you to choose from: floor standing towers with bookshelf surrounds, bookshelf packages, on-wall packages, in-wall packages, in-ceiling packages, and a mixture of these. An in-wall subwoofer is also an option if you do not want a box subwoofer sitting in the corner.
An HD Blu-ray disc player will allow you to take full advantage of your new surround sound system and High Definition display. A few select players are also networkable and feature instant streaming of Netflix movies to your theater. In addition, this price point includes a basic media server like an Apple TV, which will allow you to stream music from any computer in the house, rent new release HD movies instantly, view your photos, and even watch YouTube videos, right on your new projection display.
A system with so many devices and capability could be confusing to operate, which is why this package includes a powerful universal remote. This remote will allow you to simply push one activity button (i.e. “Watch a Movie”) and all of your equipment adjusts to their correct settings so you’re instantly enjoying the experience.
All of our systems also include protection from electrical surges and AC power noise. This package includes a basic power conditioner to protect your new equipment.
This System Typically Includes:
Projection System
While LCDs are the most popular new TV for the majority of clients, this is the price range where we start to offer front projection systems to our clients. The screens commonly range in size from 84” to 120”+ for this price range.
Blu-ray / DVD Player
Blu-ray has won the war over HD-DVD and is the next generation of media that will replace DVD in years to come. Blu-ray players also play normal DVDs discs, so you don’t have to worry if you have a large DVD collection. Many players even upconvert your normal DVDs to give you a picture quality that is closer to high definition.
Media Server
A media server makes it easy to enjoy all of your digital content – music, movies, photos and more – in your new Home Theater. They are an added bonus to any system.
Theater Receiver
Receivers in this price range are robust devices with many valuable features. All video inputs get upconverted to HDMI so you only have one high-definition cable running to your TV, and all speaker channels receive 130 to 140 watts of power. Like in the previous price point, these receivers also have the capability of powering a second pair of speakers in another room.
Speakers
This package features 7.1 surround sound, which includes a center channel speaker, six surround speakers, and a powered subwoofer. In this price range you can pick almost any speaker configuration for your room, including bookshelves, in-wall, on-wall, in-ceiling, or a combination of these. The 7.1 system also gives you a more full surround sound experience than the 5.1 system.
Universal Remote
Universal remotes are extremely popular with our customers, and we recommend them for any installation. They simplify your entertainment experience and eliminate the clutter of multiple remotes that only get used for one or two buttons. The biggest benefit of our universal remotes is their ease of use: just press one button and all of your components turn on and adjust themselves to the right setting.
Equipment Rack
When your system reaches this level you need a way to organize and stack equipment. This is important to help keep the equipment from overheating, and it looks much better, too.
Power Conditioning & Surge Protection
You wouldn’t drive a car without insurance, so why would you plug your home entertainment into an outlet without surge protection? This system includes a power conditioner to protect your equipment from power surges, spikes and AC noise.
Wire & Cable
Every package includes all the necessary cabling and wire to install speakers and hook up components. We use high quality cabling for the best delivery of audio and video in your system.
Professional Installation
Each and every system we install gets our full attention and precise detail. We take care to ensure your system will be properly configured for the best quality entertainment it can provide.
