Barco may not be a well-known name in audio and video technology to the average consumer. Still, most anyone that has experience with commercial-class AV or attended a large event has experienced a Barco projector. 

The company has a long, rich, and perhaps surprising history. It started in Belgium as a radio manufacturer, with American parts – the Belgian American Radio Corporation. The company followed the natural progression into TV set manufacturing in the late 1950s to the 1970s, competing in Europe with industry giants like Philips. In 1979, they started to focus on video projection in airplanes, producing color projectors when the competition was still in black and white. The innovation continued from there, as Barco developed commercial projection and display solutions used from medical radiology to air traffic control. Leveraging their extensive experience and history, they entered the commercial cinema projection market in the early 2000s, with thousands of installations around the globe. 

If you want a top-quality projector for your home theater, Barco should be at the top of your shopping list. As a top commercial AV and home theater design company in St. Louis, Elite Technology Solutions recommends Barco projector solutions for its Missouri clients. Keep reading below to learn why. 

In the world of high-end audio, some brands tend to be well-known while others are less so. For example, Elite works with KEF, a renowned hi-fi brand with a well-rounded portfolio of speakers and headphones for two-channel audio and home theater.  Some, like, Wisdom Audio, might be known only by audio connoisseurs and audiophiles.

As an elite Wisdom Audio dealer for the St. Louis, MO area, we want to rectify that. You might be surprised at the extensive line of speakers the company offers and how they don't fit the same mold as the rest. Keep reading below to discover the Wisdom Audio difference!

Home theater is all about creating a superb cinematic experience at home. What's one thing that can ruin a great film? Bad seats. Even when the sound and visuals are first-rate, an uncomfortable seat that makes your back hurt leads to a subpar experience.

As a professional home theater design company, we encourage folks looking at building or remodeling a home theater to invest in good quality seating. On average, a good guideline is to allocate 10-15% of the overall budget to seating. We also firmly believe that special-purpose home theater seating is superior to other furniture types. Two big reasons are the range of customization options and more robust construction that stands up to many years of binge-watching use.

So, what are the best seating options for your home theater design in Town and Country, MO? Keep reading for three of our favorites below.
