Film is a remarkable medium, a genuinely human endeavor of conveying an emotional narrative through moving pictures.  We often speak of movie watching as an experience. A medium that can make us laugh till our stomach hurts, cry to the point of exhaustion, or think in new ways is undoubtedly that.

Even with all that power and promise, we often relegate our viewing to screens that rob us of the visual force and listen on speakers that diminish or lose the encompassing sound.  While content can be consumed this way, it lacks the experiential - that feeling of being part of something, connecting.

When it comes to home theater design, you may think it’s a DIY type of job. Perhaps you’ve seen videos on YouTube or elsewhere of people confidently assuring you that you can complete the job on your own.

However, you may find that’s not the case once you start digging into it. Have you considered the viewing angle from every seat in your theater? Do you know how large the screen needs to be for everyone to have an enjoyable experience? Have you identified solutions for sound obstacles like noisy HVAC, an adjacent room or wood floor materials?
