When Design Dictates Theater Installation, Professional Acoustics
By Lisa Montgomery
Achieving audio perfection in a room with a set-in-stone design can be tough—but not impossible, as shown in this Manhattan townhouse.

Powerful Waves Take Theatergoers on Fun Ride
By Steve Castle
This theater is heavy on the horsepower for producing sound waves, while cleverly designed acoustical treatments like a giant wooden wave create a decor of their own.
Just call this home theater “The Wave.” And by wave we refer to the distinctive wood ceiling piece that acts as an important acoustical element. The wave also refers to this theater system’s powerful sound waves that are controlled by a... [Read More]

Historic Home Remodel is Super Suite
By Arlen Schweiger
Cleverly installed televisions in the master bedroom, bathroom and dressing room add modern punch to this century-old St. Louis residence.
How did people live without TV a hundred years ago? Who knows, but this roughly 100-year-old, four-story home certainly wasn’t built with electronics in mind.
However, considering the home was built as part of an exclusive St. Louis neighborhood whose... [Read More]

300" Outdoor Screen Blows 'Em Away
By Arlen Schweiger
Dallas-area high-rise stands above others with a whopping penthouse pool terrace theater.
At 30 floors up, this Dallas high-rise has incredible downtown views. But from the rooftop patio, the cityscape almost pales in comparison to what the homeowners can see on the side of their penthouse. It depends on what’s playing on the massive 300-inch screen perched on the wall above the pool.

Old Meets New at a Drive-in Home Theater
By Steven Castle
The good-ol’ drive-in theater gets a high-tech makeover in this prized home.
Remember drive-in theaters? There was something special about parking your car and watching a mediocre movie on a giant, washed-out screen. Then there were those clunky speakers that hooked over your window. And the atrocious food. Yet all could be forgiven if you were canoodling with a date.
