"My second appointment with Geek Choice in March went well. The phone call from the office to determine what I wanted to accomplish at the visit is a great idea. I would say that here is where Geek Choice can look for complications. For example, someone who's used a computer at work and at home may still be unaware of some basic ideas. For example, if a device is to be added, does it need to be charged, does the person have the correct cable or battery, etc. Young people know this; older people do not necessarily.
The representative was courteous, knowledgeable, patient, and offered additional tips. He arrived within the time frame specified.
I will contact Geek Choice again.

"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 questions, answered by experts

For movies, television, and games that feature surround sound output, no other setup than true 5.1 or 7.1 surround is capable of matching the fidelity and presence they offer. If, however, music is your audio priority—or you tend to favor older movies and broadcast television that’s unlikely to include surround sound output—you might be better off putting your money toward two high-quality speakers designed to reproduce stereo sound.

Installing surround sound costs about $750 on average, ranging from $240 to $1,250, depending on the type of surround sound, number of rooms, wired or wireless, mounted or integrated speakers, and location. Full-room surround sound typically costs about $700 per room, but in-ceiling speakers only cost about $200 to $500 per pair. Consult your home theater design professional to determine the best surround sound solution for your project.

Installing and connecting mounted speakers shouldn’t take more than two hours. However, installing a fully integrated surround sound system that includes running wires and installing speakers may take up to five or more hours. When hiring an electrician to help with this part of the installation, ask them to provide a time estimate for your specific job.

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.

Essential components include a surround sound receiver, speakers (front, center, satellite), a subwoofer, and the necessary cables/wires. These elements work together to create an immersive audio experience.
