Once upon a time, many Missouri homes had built-in cabinetry to hold a TV. In some homes, the family room might have had a cabinet with pull-out doors to expose a 4:3 format tube TV. When rear-projection models became popular, spaces in a wall of cabinetry were carved out to accommodate those huge and heavy boxes.

Today’s TVs, of course, are thin, large flat panels that are completely different from the models of yore. With that new form factor has come completely different ways of locating a TV. They can be mounted on almost any wall or over a fireplace focal point with a little installation to hide the cabling. Today’s TVs are also much larger screen-wise than those of 15 years ago. Some style-conscious homeowners –and just about all interior designers in St. Louis – don't particularly like a huge 65-inch black screen on the wall when it's not on. But there is an elegant solution for the unsightly flat-panel on the wall with hidden TV services from Elite Technology Solutions. Elite has recently partnered with FrameMyTV to offer a design-friendly way to make the TV fit with your style and décor. See more below!

As a longtime KEF dealer, and the only Elite KEF dealer in the St. Louis area, Elite Technology Solutions is always excited to introduce new products. Several months ago, we wrote about the KEF LS 50 Meta update, which has high-end audio reviewers raving about how KEF managed to improve on the already stellar sound of the original LS50. 

The LS50 was a revolutionary speaker when first introduced back in 2012, bringing true audiophile sound quality to a small, contemporary design and package. It has since spawned many competitors too. KEF continues to keep the LS50 line fresh with evolutionary innovation, and now it is doing the same with a complementary subwoofer - the new KC62. Read on to learn more about this small but mighty new sub.  

Thanks to incredible advancements in audiovisual technology, the movie-going pastime we all miss can exist inside our Ladue, MO homes in ways it never could before. Perhaps you already have a custom home theater dressed to the nines with high-resolution equipment that’s been professionally installed and calibrated to offer unforgettable movie-viewing experiences.

But even the most sophisticated home theater isn’t complete without a Kaleidescape movie server. Known as the filmmaker’s choice for movie players, Kaleidescape is the only online source for films with full-fidelity audio and video from all major studios. If you’re a cinephile, it’s time you learn about Kaleidescape and how it will transform the way you watch movies in your luxury home theater.

Recently, we were excited to introduce you to Josh.ai, a different type of voice assistant to help you manage your smart home. Unlike other voice assistant platforms from major technology companies, Josh.ai was explicitly designed and engineered for home automation. Josh.ai doesn't need to answer history questions or solve math problems, so it can focus on understanding your commands, the context, and deftly executing your home automation wishes. And it does so with a level of privacy that is unprecedented in voice assistants.

Voice assistants are software-based, and their technology and features advance rapidly. We also integrate home voice control systems like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant into client systems, so you might wonder what Josh.ai can do differently in your Chesterfield, MO smart home? Let’s take a closer look.
