"I called Integrity Electrical after several outlets in the house failed, including the one for the refrigerator. Joe responded immediately, figured out the problem, and did a great job of explaining the work that needed to be done. Joe and Alex upgraded the house to 200 amp service, which involved replacing the electrical panel, upgrading outlets, and replacing a meter box that had water damage. I would not hesitate to call them again."

South Shore Audio Video Installation specializes in custom design, sales and installation of home theater systems, whole house music systems and home automation. Standard, cookie-cutter solutions don't always fit your specific needs and the Big Box stores simply cannot provide our level of personal service and knowledge. SSAVI is founded on the concept of true customer service. That's our promise. We bring quality, dependable service at affordable prices to the custom installation business. We are, by choice, a small business. We pride ourselves on complete customer satisfaction. As owner and general manager Kirk will be involved in every transaction.

"Excellent! Best service! Very responsive, very responsible, clean, neat, excellent and great communication throughout the project. Excellent product and the equipment is very great!"

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.

A soundbar is a system with multiple directional speakers that mimics but does not match the fidelity and full dynamic range of surround sound. At the highest end, soundbar packages may include a set of additional speakers that can achieve 360-degree sound.

The length of coax cable can affect the signal. Coax cables and their connectors all have a small amount of electrical resistance, which means that the longer the cable and more connectors in the system, the weaker the signal strength. In most homes, the signal loss is tiny, but systems with coax cable lengths over 100 feet will likely experience signal troubles.

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.

Yes, installing a home theater is worth it for the opportunity to create a movie theater-level experience in your own home, especially if you want to upgrade how you entertain guests, watch movies, and play video games. Your budget determines the size and capability of your in-home theater, so the value you derive from the home theater you can install depends on your needs, expectations, and how often you use the space. Consider choosing your home theater features based on the value they’ll bring to users to ensure you invest your project budget wisely.
