If you love listening to music and are ready to improve your home, we have a definite recommendation for you:

Consider a real speaker system for your property—not just a portable speaker. 

You could go for a whole-home or multi-room audio solution, or you could just focus on a single room. No matter what you choose, you will be able to enjoy high-fidelity and lifelike sound with high-end speakers.

In this blog, we’ll focus on those single-room audio solutions. Much of the time, our clients in the Tampa, FL, area aren’t sure whether they want surround sound or two-channel audio for their speaker arrangement.

For us, the answer is clear if you are an audiophile or you just love music: Go for the stereo sound solution. Here’s why.

How to Take Your Music-Listening Experience to the Highest Level

Some people like listening to music. They pop in their earbuds to pass the time when the mood hits them or during mundane moments in the day. On the other hand, you love to listen to every nuance of a song – the highs, lows, and everything in between. In fact, you want to hear music as close to the original recording as possible. To get that, you need something more than a traditional stereo system or ordinary earbuds.

High-end audio never disappoints. In fact, it’s the only way to enjoy your favorite music to the fullest. AV Specialists installs high-end systems for homeowners in Palm Harbor, FL, and the surrounding areas. Keep reading to learn why you need a system in your home.

When you’re planning your home’s entertainment, you have so many options – should you go for single-room or whole-house audio? Do you want screens everywhere or just in one or two specialized entertainment spaces? If you want to dedicate a room to your favorite entertainment, we can’t recommend a more enjoyable solution than a home media room or a theater.

But which one should you choose? If you want the short answer, it depends. Home theaters have long served families who want that movie theater experience at home, where the lights dim, the screen appears and the sound immerses them as soon as the movie begins. Media rooms take a more family-centered approach and use various modes of entertainment.

You’ve likely heard the theory before: When you listen to a high-end speaker, you instantly can tell the difference.

Compared to a standard speaker, the top-line one will produce better sound.

But is there really a difference? And if there is a difference, how can you tell that one exists?

Below, we’ll explore the theory of whether high-end audio actually  is worth it and how you can find out for yourself, right here in Tampa, FL.
