San Diego Home Theater review

framed flat screen

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?

San Diego Home TheaterAgain, 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.

multi purpose home theaterFor 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?

Theater seatingI 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?

too many wiresThe 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?

home theater soundbarIn 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?

Dobly atmos Surround SpeakerWith 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?

Family room remote controlSimplicity. 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.
