Quite often we see customers looking at Home Theatre installations without professional advice or based on a recommendation from a friend, while this is usually not a bad idea, depending on how your needs will vary from theirs this may also leave you with a bunch of expensive Home Theatre equipment that may not work as well in your home as it will in theirs. When a Home Theatre system is designed from scratch to suit each individual situation you will always achieve a better result. Seeking professional advice is just as important as design factors like budget, expectations, furnishings, and lighting control.
