San Diego Home Theater review

Rancho Santa Fe Home Theater has been serving the greater San Diego home theater County since 1997 and has become the most best kept secret for custom home theater / home automation / home technology / home audio equipment firm and home WiFi solutions company in Southern California.

As other firms have been busy winning awards for their designs and high end pricing, or you might go into Best Buy and purchase a TV or speaker system, then you have no idea if the technician is even qualified to install it correctly the first time. The hub of our business model has been to take care of the little things that really matter when it comes to choosing the right San Diego Home Theater company without breaking the bank.

What is the best home theater?

That depends on 2 main factors. Is it going to be a dedicated room that is sealed off from the rest of the house? Or is it a multi-purpose room that when it is not in use the components will disappear? Yes I did say disappear. A typical multi-purpose theater is the family room. That’s where everyone congregates because its close to the kitchen. Once this decision is made, we can proceed to the next phase.

What is the best home theater equipment?

Again, if we are talking about a dedicated theater room, then we will be going in the direction of a projector with a fixed wall mounted screen along with all the equipment in a dedicated rack enclosure, special lighting and the most important part is the seating arrangement. Yes, seating is the most important part, but I will get to this in a moment.

For the multi-purpose room a flat screen, with the components tucked away in a cabinet along with the speakers discreetly positioned to not interrupt the decor is the bare minimum. The days of twinkling lights and visible equipment is gone. We even have invisible speakers as compared to other retailers like Best Buy which does not! If the budget allows, then a motorized screen and lift projection system magically appears for those special events when you have movie night with the family, or gatherings.

What is the most important piece of planning and executing a home theater?

I cannot emphasize this enough, but it without going into too much detail it is where you are going to sit. The seating is the foundation of any home theater regardless if its in a dedicated room, an attic, or family room. The reason is that is where the mathematics come into the equation of figuring out the placement of everything. We also have an article for those of you that are diving into your first remodel, or new construction project of a dedicated home cinema.

What is the biggest mistake you can avoid?

The biggest mistake people make is that they go out to Costco and buy television and they try to work around what they bought. Then it’s hit or miss whether its the right size leaving all the wires dangling and placing the equipment on the mantle. It is a story we visit everyday and the wife is sick and tired of looking at this spagetti.

So do yourself a favor and pick up the phone and give us a call, or shoot us a text at 858-764-2648 to have one of our consultants come out and give you a hand in planning and executing your ideas before you spend a dime on any consumer electronics.

What is the best home theater speaker system?

In our experience the best home theater speaker system is the one that does not interrupt with the decor. If it has to be visible, then it must blend in. Most of the speakers today are made pretty good and come in many shapes and sizes to blend into the decor of the room. Even our soundbars match the flat screen.

What about the Dolby Atmos surround sound?

With the latest technology coming out, in the new construction phase of prewiring, we have been getting ready for the dolby Atmos surround to come into the market. What this means is that is that your surround sound installation will be the same as what you are hearing in the commercial theaters utilizing speakers in the front, ceiling, middle, end and rear of your room. So the best speakers for the best surround sound installation is called Dipole speakers. These speakers evenly dispurse the sound around you instead of at you. This will give you the best home theater installation and listening experience.

What makes or breaks a home theatre system?

Simplicity. The remote control system must be simple for everyone to use. Period. More times than not it boils down to the last 1 percent of the project. It either makes, or breaks the entire home theatre experience. And this is called “control”. It’s like buying an expensive car and upon delivery they don’t include the steering wheel.

With the access to a variety of product lines and product dealers, Rancho Santa Fe Home Theater will work with you to best meet your budget and quality requirements. Our vast experience in the San Diego Home Theater and home systems business has provided us with the knowledge to identify the best value for you.

From the design aspect, to the installation of your audio system at your office and or home, we listen and work very diligently throughout the duration of your project to ensure everything goes according to plan and the way you expect it to.

By the way, we also offer a variety of different home automation systems that simplify your life and your lifestyle that may be a great value with our clients that are having memory issues.

In conclusion, we implore you that if you are considering, or in need of one of our services listed on our website here in the San Diego county area, please do yourself a grand favor and give us a call today at 858-764-2648 you will be glad you did and so will your wallet.

Looking For The Best TV Mounting & Installation In San Diego?

blog, Custom Cabinetry

Our TV Mounting & Installation In San Diego is second to none?

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and we take this statement very seriously when it comes to your TV installation needs.

Do you need a hand in getting that flat screen TV mounted on the wall? You have come to the right place. As you have experienced that the investment in the TV if you purchased it at Best Buy, Amazon or Costco is just the beginning of your investment in your family home theater experience. Then comes choosing the right TV wall bracket for the optimum viewing angle. When choosing what works for you, the seating placement is the key if you are going to invest in a tilt mounting bracket, or one that swings out.

If you don’t have the mount for the TV, or cannot decide whether a tilt mount, or the swivel arm that can give you that freedom of positioning that TV wherever you sit, not to worry we are here to the rescue.

All of our clients are raving about how we surgically conceal those ugly tv wires.

Drywall framing around TV to hide the gap between the wall and the flat screen.

Before picture of empty niche.

After picture of concealed wires.

Instead of using duct tape, or that cable channel that is used for commercial uses. Our creative team utilizes the tv brackets in our installations to hide the electrical and HDMI wires, anything less is unforgiveable.

Do you have any tv cabinets?

If you are looking for ideas for a tv wall unit, we got you covered. Fortunately, we have been succesful in finding a corner tv unit for those that dont have enough real estate in your room.

Or a reasonable tv entertainment center that hides all of your electronics, and keeping your wife happy. What more can you ask for?

How about a remote control system that eliminates all the clutter on your coffee table that currently has 6 remote controls. Not to mention the 6 button steps that you have to do each time you want to watch TV. Before we change subject matters, lets continue below to see how we can assist you in mounting your flat screen TV.

What about the hole in my entertainment center of my old rear projection tv?

Our TV installation design team specializes in creating a new facade, or backing where we install a tv bracket that pulls out and swivels. This comes in very handy when you know have a niche for 42-inch and you really want an 84-inch in the bedroom. We can pull this off with even a 32-inch opening that was popular for the den.

And can hide the components to create that elegance of form over function. What this really means is, once we are done with our TV mounting services you don’t have to point the remote control directly to each device. The options are limitless.

What about the rest of the wires?

Since we are a one stop shopping experience our surgeons can install those pesky rear surround speakers, or give you different options if you are renting, or living in a condo that the ceiling and flooring is concrete. We have a solution that not only fits your budget, but actually works the first time.

So pick up the phone and give us a call today at 858-764-2648 to schedule a no obligation appointment with one of our courteous ambassadors of goodwill that can guide you to the perfect solution for your tv mounting needs.
