Is My Living Room Too Small for a Home Entertainment System?
Transform Your Small Space with Cutting-Edge AV Technology
Limited space is a common obstacle when integrating audio-video systems. If you're living in a luxury apartment or townhome, you might think you have to compromise on the quality of your entertainment experience due to these space constraints. This is a common misconception among many of our clients in St. Louis and throughout the Midwest.
The reality is that with the right expertise and components, you can enjoy a high-performance home entertainment system in the most compact of spaces. The solution lies in a professional installation using cutting-edge technology tailored specifically for smaller living areas. Brands like Sony, McIntosh, and Sonos offer a range of products designed to deliver exceptional performance without taking up too much room.

Why Professional Help Makes a Difference
While getting high-quality audio-video in a small space is possible, it takes the right expertise to make it work. That's where we come in. At The Sound Room, we specialize in customizing solutions to your unique space and lifestyle. Thanks to our partnerships with industry leaders like Control4 for home control and Sony for AV, we can access a wide range of products to find the right fit for you. We carefully consider the specific challenges of your space to maximize both functionality and aesthetics.
Optimizing Audio in Small Spaces
One of the most common challenges in small spaces is the need for extensive wiring, which can result in an aesthetically unpleasing mess of wires or impractical in-wall wiring. Wireless solutions are often the answer. For example, Sonus Faber’s Duetto wireless speakers only require a power source and no wired connection to your AV receiver for a more streamlined setup. Our audio partners also offer small, discrete speakers that will only take up a little floor space, if any.
Meanwhile, McIntosh offers state-of-the-art options like the MB50 Streaming Audio Player for wireless receivers and sources. This device allows you to access various audio content, from your favorite streaming services to digital libraries. It's an ideal solution for apartments, townhomes, or retrofit installations where invasive wiring is not an option.
Optimizing Video in Small Spaces
Limited wall and floor space makes integrating large screens or projectors challenging. However, technology has evolved to offer solutions that work beautifully in confined areas. For example, Epson’s short-throw projectors can be placed just inches away from the screen in dedicated media cabinets, allowing for a large, high-quality image without needing thorough wiring or components cluttering your space.
Mounting options have also become more versatile. In addition to traditional wall mounts, some can be integrated into media furniture, allowing the screen to rise and retract as needed. This saves wall space and adds a touch of versatility to your living area. Furthermore, video distribution solutions allow you to hide receivers and source components in dedicated furniture or even closets, further freeing up your living space.
