"The work Luis and Jose did was exceptional. They arrived ahead of schedule. They were both professional and personable. They made sure everything was done correctly and did not rush. It was a difficult job installing a home theater system in a room were you couldn't route wires in the ceiling or under the floor the whole way, so they got creative. They removed the baseboard, carved space into the walls for the wires and then replaced the baseboards. That is something I never would have thought to do. I was very impressed and will definitely recommend New Wave Home Audio to others, and the next time I will ask for Luis and Jose again."

Stereo and Home Theater Systems FAQs, answered by experts

Professionals prevent incorrect assembly, improve stability, and manage wiring for a clean setup.

No, a soundbar is not the same as a true surround sound system. A soundbar is a system with multiple directional speakers that imitates surround sound but does not fully replicate its fidelity and dynamic range. High-end soundbar packages may include a subwoofer and additional speakers to achieve 360-degree sound, making the audio experience closer to true surround sound. However, it will still provide a slightly different audio effect than a dedicated surround sound installation in a home theater.

Position speakers according to recommended guidelines, calibrate them correctly using a sound meter or software and minimize sound interference by arranging furniture and decor around your setup to support acoustics.

An accredited, licensed smart home specialist should install your home automation system. For example, a qualified smart home specialist will belong to an organization like the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association. Licenses for qualified technicians require the technician to demonstrate experience and pass state testing. If you’re ready to install a home automation system, consult multiple technicians in your area to compare services and prices and find the best fit for your job.

The best place to put your home theater is a space that does not get outside light, such as a basement. Another consideration is the proximity to bedrooms or offices that may be disturbed by the surround sound playing at high volume. A higher ceiling works best for mounting a projector, so consider space and sound limitations. For help determining the best place for your home theater, consider hiring a professional home theater installer who can provide recommendations and project plans.
