Choosing a display that is too big.

When it comes to home theater displays, you might think that bigger is always better. This isn't always the case. Depending on the size of the room you are planning to install your theater in, a screen that is too big can negatively affect your experience by forcing you to crane your neck or making it difficult for you to see the entire screen at once. Before you begin shopping for screens, make sure that you take accurate measurements of your room and consult a professional to discuss what size display is the best fit for your home theater.

Neglecting your speaker system.

Your display might be the visual centerpiece of your home theater, but your speaker system is just as important. A surround sound system will completely immerse you in your favorite movies and TV shows. We partner with trusted brands such as Revel Speakers and Pro Audio Technology speakers to bring you the best home theater audio.

Revel's 5.1 surround sound system offers unparalleled three-dimensional detail. The M8's woofer and tweeter diaphragms are crafted out of Micro Ceramic Composite, a material created by Revel that anodizes both sides of an aluminum core that allows for accurate sound reproduction. Pro Audio Technology is another solid choice for a home theater installation. Their speakers recreate the commercial theater experience in a compact form that functions well in a home theater's limited space.

Forgetting a centralized control system.

Think of all of the technology that goes into creating your home theater. You have your display, your surround sound system, all of the components you use to stream or play your content… the list goes on and on. You need a centralized control system that allows you to control not just all of your audio video components but your lighting, climate control, security system, and more.

A Savant system will allow you to control every aspect of your home’s smart technology from the same easy-to-use interface. Never again sort through a pile of remotes to adjust the volume of your system.
