Tell us what you have, we'll help you select the rest.
What equipment do you already own? Does it make sense to upgrade or start from scratch?
Television
If your set is 25" or larger, it's probably just fine for a Home Theater system. Consider a new, larger TV that will give you the theater effect, a better picture, the latest convenience features, and to receive the growing number of stereo and Surround Sound broadcasts. Whatever the size of your home or budget, you'll be amazed with the newest options in wall, ceiling or floor TVs and large screens. Picture quality has improved incredibly. Our selection ranges $279 to $3999. Either your TV or your VCR must be stereo. Ask us and we'll help.
There have been a wide range of changes in TV technology over the last few years, and that's one reason why buying from a specialty retailer has never been more important. The new models have a clarity of image that was undreamed of just a few years ago. We stay on top of all the latest innovations so that you can make the most informed choice.
Seeing is believing. Information if processed faster through vision then any other sense, so it's vital to check out a TV in the surroundings that most closely approximate your home environment. Our demonstration rooms are designed with this fact in mind, so you can clearly see the available options.
Sound it out. Your new TV should have audio jacks to connect directly into the rest of your system-just another reason we help you put together an entire package that maximized the performance of each individual component.
One size doesn't fit all. Our line of televisions is culled from the preeminent manufacturers in the world. From the kitchen to the screening room, we've got the TV to fit your every entertainment need-at competitive prices. Come see why we measure value in dollars and sense.

Your current VCR might be all you need. Ask us. You may want to consider upgrading to get easy on-screen programming, better sound and picture, and exciting special effects. Prices have come down dramatically and are as low as they're likely to get. For ultimate in video and sound quality.
Stereo Speakers
The speakers in your audio system will work for Home Theater and regardless of their age or brand, they're almost always better than those in your TV. To start, let us help you connect your TV to your audio system. These speakers become your main Home Theater speaker as well as your audio speakers.
Center-Channel Speaker
This positions dialogue to its visual source on the screen. With your stereo speakers on both sides, and the center-channel speaker for voices, you get sounds placed exactly where they should be. Center-channel speakers are specially constructed to prevent distortion of your TV's pictures.
Surround Speakers
These are positioned behind you to create the sound that puts you in the center of the action. By hearing sound from behind, you get a realistic sense of space and time. These speaker can be smaller and may be put on a bookcase shelf, wall-mounted or inconspicuously flush-mounted in a wall.
Subwoofer
This special speaker only produces the deep bass. It allows you to hear and physically feel the rumble of the jet engine or the crack of thunder. The sound is non-directional so you only need one. The subwoofer can be put most anywhere in your room. Feel the enormous excitement added to your music and video. Stop be for a demo.
Surround Sound Processors/Amplifiers
This is the "brain" of your Home Theater system. Using Digital Dolby, it analyzes the sound and directs it to the appropriate speaker for realistic spatial sound affects. If your system is new, you can simply add the processor as a separate component. Or, upgrade your older system by replacing your receiver with a new audio/video receiver including an A/V sound processor, remote control and a variety of useful features
Other possibilities using Digital Dolby
A/V Receivers
A/V Receivers will change the way your music and TV sound. The A/V receiver connects a multitude of Audio/Video sources and makes your system easier to operate. We carry A/V receivers from Marantz and Yamaha.
CD Changers
Think of preparing and enjoying an entire meal while listening to non-stop music. CD changers add that convenience to great-sounding music. You can enjoy six hours of uninterrupted music, one disc at a time or in a refreshing random sequence.
Now is an excellent time to buy a CD changer. The technology has matured, and values have never been better. Come in soon and hear for yourself.
Digital Video Disc (DVD)
DVD will improve your video the way CD's improved you audio. They are compact sized CD, similar to laser disc, for video. The picture quality is absolutely the best available and the audio is CD quality. Many of the most popular titles are available, and are becoming available.
Better sound through better cables.
Cables: the final components. Computer, telephones, table lamps, and auto batteries each use a specific type of wire. So too, your A/V system can also benefit, with proper cables. Cables are the critical components that link your electronics and speakers. They should be selected with the same care as a fine amplifier, CD player, or loudspeaker.
