Sports are a huge part of American life.  With hundreds of thousands attending games and millions of more watching at home, they draw fans like nothing else can. Whether it be a cheese head wearing Packer fan up in frozen Green Bay or the houndstooth wearing Bama fan here in the South, football is huge. Maybe baseball is your thing. The tears of joy from a Cubs fan after they broke the 108 year World Series drought showed that in many hearts, baseball is still America’s pastime. If you prefer some roundball, Cleveland fans rejoiced after the 3-1 comeback by LeBron James and the Cavaliers in the NBA Championship last year. However, what most people don’t realize is how home audio and video systems can turn your everyday sports watching into an amazing experience for you as well as your friends and family.

Here at AV Enthusiast we recently celebrated our ribbon cutting of our new office in Downtown Huntsville. As part of the event we were lucky enough to have the support of several of our vendors to help us set up an amazing Home Theater system. With a retail cost of upwards of $70,000 this was an example of what a no holds barred home theater experience can be, and even with our jaded eyes and ears, it was mind-blowing.

Dedicated home theater systems stand out from their retail counterparts by providing truly immersive audio and dynamic, larger-than-life images. The latter is accomplished by finding the perfect partnership between your projector and screen. It's tempting to want to focus entirely on your projector's power and brightness, but your significant investment would be going to waste if you decided to play it on a blank wall. In this blog, we explain some things you should be taking into account when deciding which screen is the best fit for your Huntsville, Alabama home.

The reason we love movies is that they transport us to another world. When watching from home, that's only possible with a truly immersive movie-watching experience. How can you accomplish that? With larger than live images and surround sound. With the right surround sound setup in your home theater system, you don’t miss the creaking of doors and howling of wind during the horrifying climax or have an intimate scene interrupted by cars driving past your Guntersville, Alabama house. AV Enthusiast can design a solution that surrounds you with realistic sound from every corner of the room.
