"It's Showtime has done installations in three homes and will do a fourth in the next month. They are professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I love my entire home music systems and especially my home theater systems with surround sound. They have been great at recommending the systems that meet the needs of a vacation home versus my primary home as well. My relationship with It's Showtime goes back many years so I can speak to their good will in the AV community as well. I highly recommend It's Showtime. . Jeffrey Towns"
