Customers say: Quality work

"I called several companies and decided on Echo Systems Solutions. The customer service was great as was the workmanship. Four security cameras were installed at my residence. The operational use of the cameras and the features associated with them were fully explained to me prior to the workers leaving. The following day I spoke with Sam from the company who wanted to ensure I was satisfied and address any additional questions I might have had. Without question, I would definitely use Echo Systems Solutions and would recommend them to family and friends."

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.

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.

The standard home theater screen size is 100 inches to 120 inches for a full home theater room, but the ideal size TV to buy depends on a few factors. For example, a screen that’s less than 120 inches may be better in a room with less space and where seating is positioned more closely to the screen. If your seating is close to the screen, a smaller screen is better, in the 60- to 70-inch range. This is common for smaller basement conversions to home theater rooms.

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.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000, depending on speaker quality, wiring complexity, and labor.
