Do You Want a Smaller, Sleeker, Home Theater System?
Discover Three Ways to Reimagine a Home Theater
Home theaters tend to evoke visions of large rooms with movie-themed décor, reclining lounge seating, giant screens, and huge sound systems. They certainly can be all that. But they can also be a space with excellent visuals and audio to enjoy your favorite entertainment – be it movies, shows, Raiders games, music videos, or gaming.
Once, home theaters only had projectors and extensive sound systems with large amplifiers, processors, and lots of other equipment. Today, a streaming device like an Apple TV – or for that matter, a smart TV – can be the digital source to a world of audio and video entertainment. Add to that many more options for large screens and great sound, and you have the making for putting a home theater experience in almost any space.

Screen Choices
Do you want the big screen experience but don't want the complexity of a projector and screen? Consider a couple of options. Today's flat-panel TVs scale up to 98 inches! 85-inch+ sizes are now mainstream with several vendors. OLED TVs offer incredible black levels and color reproduction that once was the sole province of high-end projector systems and are superb for movies. All of this means that a large flat panel could serve as your home theater screen in a smaller space – like a living area, master bedroom, or den/office retreat.
You can go bigger than flat-panel sizes, going up to cinematic-level 120-inch screens with a short-throw projector. These projectors are tidily-sized and can sit on elegant media furniture in the front of the room, projecting a ten-foot picture while sitting a mere 5 inches from the wall. Connect an XBOX One X for a complete streaming and gaming entertainment setup, any other source like an Apple TV or other streaming device, or a dedicated UHD Blu-ray player. You won't need a 20-foot room for this solution.
Hidden Tech
What if you need a multipurpose room where you don’t want to see the home theater when it’s not in use? You can hide the pieces in custom furniture, or have TVs and projector screens that lower from ceilings, appear from behind motorized doors, or rise from elegant furniture. Our partner Future Automation specializes in customizing these types of hidden technology solutions, so you can have a home theater in a room that doesn’t look like one.
Integrated Sound
Home theaters are as much about the sound as the visuals. Sound systems can be complicated and large, but today's options can provide cinematic sound pressure with style. Our partner James Loudspeaker specializes in custom soundbar and speaker solutions that fit discreetly in walls or around your flat panel or screen. Options abound, from a sleek and modern look to the practically invisible in walls and cabinets, so you can have the cinematic sound experience without looking at speakers and wires. These custom, integrated solutions provide an immersive sound experience while still keeping your space stylish.
