Tips From The Top

Summer’s not over yet, but the cooler nip in the morning air reminds us all what’s coming: colder temps and early nights. It’s the perfect time to design and integrate your dream home theater, ready for those cozy movie nights with the people you love.

Now is an especially key moment for home theaters, as the pandemic has changed our movie-theater-going, probably for some time.

More movies are coming directly to streaming, like Trolls World Tour, which skipped theaters altogether in April, igniting a feud between Universal and AMC Theaters.

A recent Residential Tech Today article looked at this developing trend, citing how Comcast’s movie arm and Universal arranged a deal with AMC to shorten the length of time from theater to streaming from the 90 days to just 17 days. And for the first 90 days, the Comcast films will be offered as premium video-on-demand at $19.99, until dropping to the typical $3-$6.

So new movie releases are coming even faster to streaming, and the existing library of streaming movies and shows is vast, with new players (like Netflix shows) entering the market every day. Now more than ever, it makes sense to have the ultimate home theater.

Luckily, today’s advanced visual and audio technology makes it possible to transform any space into an incredible viewing experience. We at Jackson Hole A/V excel at helping our clients make the best A/V decisions for their particular needs. You may be an elite audiophile with a wealth of information about the audio market today. You may not know a speaker from a subwoofer, but you still want top shelf audio quality for your home theater. In either case, and every case between, we can assist you in finding the quality products that are perfect for your particular needs and aesthetic. Then we bring our installation expertise to fully install and integrate the technology that is intuitive and high performing.

If you’re just starting out, we like to recommend Sonos, one of our favorite audio product lines, and its surround sound capabilities that enable you to start small and expand your home theater over years to come. Our clients can start with the Beam or Arc soundbar, then add a subwoofer, and later complement their entire system with rear speakers. It will give your home audio an amazing quality that, when combined with a Samsung television, will give you an incredible home theater experience.
