SYSTEM DETAILS

Want the most fun out of a theater? The best way to go is with a Front Projection Theater system. If done right, there is nothing better to watch your movies, sports, and favorite high definition TV shows.

Georgia Home Theater installs systems that are in the tens of thousands of dollars with some systems so expensive that the budget could buy a nice home. When a client presents you with a large budget, it becomes easy to pick out the components. But, what about a project with a smaller budget?

Georgia Home Theater knows what the best equipment is, but we also spend time looking for great equipment that has the best value for your dollar. We feel that our “Consumer’s Top Pick” system will compete with the big boys, giving great sound and picture quality but remain within smaller budgets; it is a system that will be the envy of all your neighbors and friends.

PROJECTOR SYSTEM
The Epson 9700, at only $3,100, is one of the clearest and brightest projectors on the market. It competes with projectors that cost three times as much. Epson uses a 3LCD, 3-Chip Technology to deliver an image that will amaze even the most discerning video eye. It looks great even in rooms with some ambient light. This unit is also able to be upgraded to an anamorphic lens for 2.35 viewing, and comes with a spare lamp. Best of all, Epson has a 3 year warranty and will replace this projector if something goes wrong.

GOLDENEAR SPEAKER SYSTEM
The TritonCinema Two System combines one pair of Triton Two Towers with a SuperSat 50C center channel as well as a pair of SuperSat 3 satellites for rear surround channels. The twin 1200 Watt subwoofers built into the towers are able to handle the thunderous low frequencies of your best movies. This perfectly timbre-matched system will deliver superior three-dimensional surround sound performance with both music and movies.

AUDIO VIDEO RECEIVER
From early design, Integra and THX work together to ensure every detail is at THX’s high performance standards. Integra’s amplification power, sound quality, and usability are the best of all A/V Receivers. The Integra 30.3 is THX Certified with two zones of extra sound. This allows you to listen to a movie in your theater and music in any other household room. The unit has 7.2 channels of sound for future expandability. With 100 Watts of Standard Power and 200+ Watts of Dynamic Power, this receiver will rock your house.

WHAT ELSE IS INCLUDED?
Also included in this system is a 100″ high contrast professional Film Screen, Sony Blu-ray DVD Player, HDMI Cabling, Custom Universal Remote Programmed Control RF System, Surge Protection from Panamax, and best of all, this system is installed by our highly skilled techs here at Georgia Home Theater with matched support after the install.

It’s time to turn your Living Room, Basement or Bonus Room into a fabulous Theater at only $9,995 plus tax.

CALL 770-955-8909 FOR YOUR INSTALL TO BE COMPLETE BY CHRISTMAS! We are currently scheduled one week out, however, this will change as more people want to get their systems installed before Christmas and the Superbowl.

All the best,

See you soon!

You should be able to enjoy your music and movies with the finest audio and video equipment, but don’t sacrifice your hearing by listening at damaging levels.  Our inner ears contain microscopic hairs that vibrate along with our ear drums so that we can translate frequencies within the air pressure in to sound.

Normal conversation in a quiet room is registered at around 50 decibels.  A decibel is a unit of measurement used to indicate how loud a sound is.  Exposure to decibel levels above 80 for long periods of time could be permanently harmful to your hearing.  Look at the bigger picture; stereos and home theaters are our least concerns (unless you listen to them at maximum volume).  Most men like to use power tools, and those power tools can be LOUD.  A typical lawnmower is 90 decibels, and a chainsaw is about 110 decibels.  Protect your ears from that and you’ll spend more time enjoying your audio system.

Here are 5 tips from the House Ear Institute to help prevent further or permanent hearing loss:

1. Monitor your exposure time to sounds over 85 dB and take periodic 15-minute “quiet” breaks. Although the maximum time to safely be exposed to 85 dB is 8 hours, the maximum time to safely be exposed to 100 dB is only 15 minutes. See pie-chart for more information.
2. Avoid hazardous sound environments. If you have to raise your voice to be heard, you are in a potentially hazardous environment for your hearing. This includes loud music performances, operating power tools and driving with the windows down at high speeds.
3. Whenever you can’t get away from an extreme sound environment, wear hearing protection, such as foam, silicone or pre-molded earplugs, earmuffs or custom earplugs. Look for products with noise-reduction ratings (NRR) of at least 9dB. Most products provide a NRR of 22dB or greater. To hear music and conversation clearly, look for high fidelity hearing protection. They will reduce all sound frequencies equally, and can often make listening to music more enjoyable than without any protection. Shooter’s plugs combined with earmuffs should be used for hunting and target practice. All can be found over the counter at your local drugstore or sporting goods shop.
4. Move away from on-stage monitors or amplifiers.  Position yourself so you are not directly in front of the speaker while performing or listening. Musicians should avoid practicing at performance levels when possible.
5. If you suspect hearing loss or notice sudden changes in your hearing or have ear pain, see an otolaryngologist (ENT) or otologist. Also, have your hearing tested by a licensed audiologist. Common hearing tests include the pure tone threshold test, the otoacoustic emissions (“OAE”) test, speech audiometry and the Hearing in Noise Test (“HINT”), which was developed by HEI scientists to assess how well you can hear speech in real world situations, where background noise is present.

ARE FINALLY HERE AND ON DISPLAY !!

Imagine your favorite recipe that you’ve been familiar with for years.  Now picture this: you change one or two ingredients, and then… POW! you’ve just improved the flavor 10-fold!  It’s not that your previous recipe was bad, but now the experience is much different.  That is the experience I witnessed today with the new 800-Diamond series loudspeakers!

I don’t want to discount the performance of any previous B&W loudspeaker over the years by any means, because I own a previous series (CDM-9NT, about 8 years old) that still sound amazing.  But the fact that the engineers at Bowers & Wilkins can improve on the previous premium 800-series with such a breathtaking new offering presents a statement that sets the benchmark once again, reminding us that they define the list of the absolute finest loudspeaker manufacturers in the world [and maybe even the universe!].

I want to share this experience, so I encourage all of you to listen to the new 800-Diamond series for yourselves.  Even if you are satisfied with your existing speakers, I encourage you to listen to the new 800-Diamond series.  And if you already own speakers from Bowers & Wilkins, you will grin with a cocky satisfaction that you own legendary speakers.  It will shock you how amazing these new speakers really are.

With each passing year, we continue to see the trend of eliminating big floorstanding speakers in a dedicated home theater grow.  Emphasis on cosmetics, and maximizing floor space has become a top priority for our clients today.  Thankfully, our go to speaker manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins, is making it a priority as well, without sacrificing performance.

Meant to be heard and not seen, the B&W CT700 series is size and budget friendly, yet incorporate technology found in their most advanced speakers.

Our system NOT on display here at GHT consists of three CT7.4 as L/C/R and two CT7.5′s  for surrounds, all built into the columns of our room.  Behind the front wall, we pack the powerful punch of two CTSW10 subwoofers.  Because the subs are powered by an external amplifier, they have a depth of only 10.3 inches.  Your wife, just like mine, will appreciate not having that big subwoofer sitting out on the floor.

Also on display in the CT series are the CT8.4, and coming soon the CT8.2!

I personally like to see my theater speakers, my wife does not.  The B&W CT700 series makes it OK for me to let her be the boss.

Now available for test drives!
