Soundbar, done right
Mounted level under the TV, wired inside the wall, subwoofer paired and placed where it does not boom. The single biggest improvement for the least money.
Most people do not need a cinema. They need the dialogue to be audible and the film to have some weight to it. Here is what each step up actually gets you.
Mounted level under the TV, wired inside the wall, subwoofer paired and placed where it does not boom. The single biggest improvement for the least money.
Front three, two rears and a sub. Rear speakers wired in-wall rather than trailing across the floor, and levels matched to your seating position.
Height speakers cut into the ceiling and aimed at the seats. This is the one that makes people sit up, and it is the one that needs doing properly.
Speakers in the kitchen, patio and bedrooms on their own zones, controlled from your phone. Great for entertaining, terrible if wired badly.
A modest set of speakers in the right positions will beat an expensive set in the wrong ones every single time. Rear speakers behind the seating rather than beside it, height speakers aimed at ear level, and a subwoofer placed where the room does not turn it into a drone.
We measure the room, place accordingly, then calibrate with a microphone rather than by ear. It takes an extra half hour and it is the difference between equipment and a system.

Excellent service. Called Kalieb Designs around 10 in the morning to inquire about their TV mounting services. He was very quick to respond and was able to come in to set up my TV and sound bar the same day. Work done is very professional and neat; definitely satisfied with the results. Price is also reasonable. Highly recommended!

I really want to give Kalieb and crew 10 stars. We live where power gets turned off by Edison. I told this to Kalieb and he made it here to install the receiver and do all the connections needed before the power went out. I now have this amazing system and it’s all due to them. I highly recommend this company.

Great service! Had a TV delivered at 10am, texted them and they were there by 1pm the same day to unbox the TV and wall mount it. They did a very professional and detailed job mounting the 65 inch TV, taking precise measurements and offering good recommendations. Price is very reasonable.
For a lot of rooms, honestly, yes — particularly if the alternative is a badly positioned 5.1. A good soundbar with a separate subwoofer, mounted properly and wired out of sight, is a large improvement over TV speakers.
Usually. It depends what is above the ceiling and which way the joists run. We will check the loft or crawl space first and tell you what is realistic before cutting anything.
Yes, that is the point. Speaker cable runs inside walls and ceilings wherever the structure allows, and into a colour-matched channel where it does not.
That is the most common request we get and it is usually fixable — centre speaker level, speaker placement, or a setting buried in the receiver. Sometimes it takes ten minutes.
