What do the words home theater mean to you? A big screen TV in your living room with surround sound speakers hidden behind the couch, or a custom designed room with every possible high-end audio/video equipment and dedicated theater seating? The choice comes down to your level of use . . . and your pocketbook.
You have experienced the exotic wonders of the tropics. You have walked the ruins of ancient civilizations. You have enjoyed and frolicked in the night life of the world’s best entertainment centers. You have gazed at the deceptively barren wasteland of the deserts. And you have had your experience of a winter wonderland, or have you?Life in this part of the world had and still exists with little human intervention. So a holiday to Antarctica must also be a responsible travel since you are paying tribute to Nature. The magnificent creatures you will come across and the landscape you will walk must remain as it is when you arrive.Start with the room you plan to use as your home theater. If it�s your multi-purpose living room, think about mounting a flat-panel LCD HDTV on the wall and finding one of the many artistic solutions for hiding the screen when it�s not in use. Make sure the furniture that houses your audio/video components has a cable management system to hide power cords and sufficient ventilation. Rear wheels on the cabinet make accessing your connections much easier!There are so many choices � media stands, audio stands that hold 5 to 10 AV components, TV stands for any size television (some loaded with features like wire management systems, adjustable shelves, open ventilation, tempered glass) � as well as choices in styles and finishes, from the beauty of natural hardwoods to contemporary design elements. With such a broad variety of audio/video and other furnishings, mounts and accessories, even the most demanding A/V enthusiast or home decorator will be satisfied with the way your home theater looks.
As long as you�re visualizing your perfect home theater set-up, remember to connect the lighting and the home theater system to a master remote control. With a few taps of your finger, the DVD spins, the lights dim, you sink into your seat, and enter a galaxy far, far away . . . right from home.
