"The computer technician, Tammy, was excellent.  He arrived on time and was very personable.  Our computer is several years old and has been running slow, so he cleaned it up for us.  He tried to show us how to perform some maintenance tasks on our own.  
After he was finished, he had to call in to the main Geek Choice number to settle the bill.  When I spoke with the person on the phone from Geek Choice, I was astonished when they told me the bill was for $300, which included 2.5 hours service at $100 per hour and a $50 fee for home visit.  I informed her that I had ordered the first hour through Angie's List for $75 and that the home visit fee was waived.  She retrieved my information and charged me a balance of $135, to include the reduced hourly fee of $90 per hour.  So Angie's List saved me almost $100, which I totally appreciate.  
I give the technician high marks but the company, Geek Choice, seems like just another corporation trying to make more money off the consumer than they should.  I'm glad I went through Angie's List.

Stereo and Home Theater Systems questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The biggest and best home theaters are 24 by 15 feet, but in smaller spaces you can make do with 15 by 20 feet, 10 by 12 feet or even smaller. You should aim for a ceiling height of about 9 feet. Remember, the size of your theater will affect layout, projector placement, screen size and other factors.

To determine which size of ceiling speakers is best for your room, consider the room’s size, ceiling height, and how powerful your speakers are. Generally, larger rooms require speakers that are between eight and 10 inches in size. Smaller rooms have less of an area for sound to travel, so speakers that are six to seven inches will be sufficient.

Identifying the source of noises is your first step to soundproofing a room without overspending. Generally, sound comes from inside or outside of the house. Inside noises include creaking floors, living noises like TVs in the living room, cooking sounds, or kids being kids. External noises generally include incremental weather, disturbing neighbors, and street traffic. Inside noises require you to soundproof floors, ceilings, and doors, whereas outside noises may require you to soundproof your attic, windows, and walls facing the streets.
