Quick Answer
How much does a custom home theater cost?
Home theater projects vary widely based on room size, display choice, speaker configuration, acoustic treatment, and seating. A dedicated media room with a quality projector, screen, surround sound, and control typically starts in the mid-five-figure range. We offer free consultations and can design systems across a range of budgets.

Designed as One System — Not a Stack of Gear

Anyone can hang a projector. The difference is a room where picture, sound, lighting, shades, and control were engineered together from the first drawing.

Engineered to Your Room

Speaker placement calculated for your dimensions, acoustic treatment where the math says it belongs, screens sized to your seating distance.

  • Up to 170" screens and 11.2 Atmos surround
  • 4K and laser projection — Epson, Sony, Leica
  • Acoustic treatment and light control designed in
  • Seating layout planned around the ideal viewing zone

Music Everywhere, Your Apps

VSSL streaming amplification means AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, and Alexa built in — no proprietary apps, no subscriptions.

  • Up to 6 zones per amp — stack for 12, 18, or more
  • Each room its own source, or the whole house in sync
  • Retrofit-friendly in finished homes
  • In-ceiling and in-wall speakers that disappear

Control That Disappears

Control4 scenes and the AVA Cinema Remote reduce the whole system to one tap — no five-remote coffee table, no app hunting.

  • "Movie Night" runs the entire room in one press
  • AVA Cinema Remote — dealer-exclusive, machined aluminum
  • Josh.ai voice control available
  • Lighting, shades, and audio respond together

One Tap. Every System.

Select a scene and the room transforms — lighting, screen, projector, and audio respond together, exactly as designed.

"Movie Night"

Lights dim to 5%, shades close, projector fires, screen descends, surround activates.

"Game Day"

Lights bright, screen up, TV on, surround switches to sports mode.

"Music Mode"

Ambient lighting, screen retracted, whole-home audio on in every zone you choose.

"Intermission"

Lights up, projector to standby, system ready to resume where you left off.

Two Ways to Experience Sound and Cinema

A dedicated theater that rivals a commercial cinema, or music flowing through every room. We design, install, and integrate both — and they work together from the start.

Cinema & Theater

Home Theater & Media Rooms

A dedicated space built for cinematic immersion. We design the room around the experience — projector and screen selection, speaker placement calculated for your space, acoustic treatment, ambient lighting, motorized shades, seating layout, and a control system that makes it all feel effortless.

  • Projectors from Epson, Sony, and Leica — high-value 4K to reference-grade laser cinema
  • Screen Innovations — motorized, fixed-frame, ALR, and acoustically transparent screens
  • Surround from Klipsch, Bowers & Wilkins, DALI, and Phase Technology — 5.1 through immersive Atmos
  • Processing from Marantz, NAD, AudioControl, Integra, and AV Pro Edge
  • Acoustic treatment, light control, and seating designed to your room dimensions
  • One touch: lights dim, shades close, projector fires, movie starts
Whole-Home Audio

Multi-Room Audio

Music in every room, controlled from the apps you already use. VSSL streaming amplifiers with in-ceiling and in-wall speakers — each zone plays its own source or syncs together. No proprietary apps. No subscriptions. Just your music, everywhere.

  • VSSL A.6x — 6-zone streaming amp with AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, and Alexa built in
  • In-ceiling and in-wall speakers from Bluesound, Klipsch, Truaudio, and Bowers & Wilkins
  • Independent zone control — each room its own source, or all in sync
  • Voice control via Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri
  • Scalable — stack VSSL units for 12, 18, or more zones
  • Retrofit-friendly — finished-home installs with minimal disruption

AVA Cinema Remote — One Remote. Zero Complexity.

AVA Certified Partner · Dealer-Exclusive

The AVA Cinema Remote replaces every remote in your theater with a single machined-aluminum device. Its edge-to-edge touchscreen and dynamic keypad adapt to whatever you're controlling — projector, audio, lighting, shades — so the interface always makes sense. One touch dims the lights, lowers the screen, starts the projector, and queues the movie.

  • Built-in AVA OS — octa-core processor, no external controller needed for single rooms
  • Dynamic Keypad with 3D glass ring — buttons adapt to the active source
  • Google Certified — Spotify, streaming apps, and smart home controls on the remote
  • Scales to 15,000 devices via Nano Brain — single room to whole home
  • Control4 integration via webhook — custom triggers bridge both platforms
  • Machined aluminum, magnetic USB-C charging, up to 6 days of battery

Available exclusively through certified dealers. As an AVA Certified partner, we handle design, configuration, and installation.

Home Theater & Audio FAQs

How much does a custom home theater cost?

Home theater projects vary widely based on room size, display choice, speaker configuration, acoustic treatment, and seating. A dedicated media room with a quality projector, screen, surround sound, and control typically starts in the mid-five-figure range. We offer free consultations and can design systems across a range of budgets.

What is multi-room audio and how does it work?

Multi-room audio distributes music to speakers throughout your home using a centralized amplifier like the VSSL A.6x. Each zone can play its own source or sync together. You control everything from your phone using apps you already know — Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora — through AirPlay 2, Chromecast, or voice assistants.

What is the AVA Cinema Remote?

The AVA Cinema Remote is a premium handheld remote with an edge-to-edge touchscreen, dynamic keypad, and built-in AVA OS processor. It controls your entire theater — projector, audio, lighting, shades — from a single device with no external processor required. It supports up to 15,000 devices and runs apps from the Google Play Store. We've also engineered a custom webhook integration between AVA and Control4, so your theater remote can trigger scenes across your entire smart home.

Can I add multi-room audio to my existing home?

Yes. We install in-ceiling and in-wall speakers with minimal disruption to finished spaces. VSSL amplifiers mount in your equipment rack and connect to your existing network. For homes without pre-wired speaker runs, we can run new cabling or use wireless solutions where appropriate.

What speaker brands do you install?

We install Bowers & Wilkins, Klipsch, DALI, Truaudio, Phase Technology, and Bluesound. We match the right speakers to each room based on acoustics, use case, and budget — from architectural in-ceiling speakers to dedicated theater reference systems.

What areas do you serve for home theater and audio?

We serve Tacoma, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, University Place, Bonney Lake, and the greater South Sound region of Washington State.
