Color Us Impressed with Sonance’s Incredible Array of Architectural Speakers

One of the fun things about being a technology integrator is seeing all the new technology and products coming down the pike. And when we see these things at the source as we did with Sonance, it's even more fun! Don't worry, it's not all fun and games – it's all in the name of offering you better products and solutions. 

Founded in the early 1980s, Sonance is one of the true pioneers in architectural audio. Today, their line consists of a full set of speakers that hide discreetly inside homes and gardens while providing the type of audio performance that belies their size. Recently the company joined forces with James Loudspeaker, another industry pioneer, bringing a new level of audio performance and customization to architectural speakers.

Our Charlotte, NC, team visited the Sonance speaker studio at their beautiful Southern California home base. We’re excited by what we saw, and we want to share more with you about our experience below.

The Kaleidescape Movie Player System Offers the Best Media Experience

These days, a huge amount of content is streamed. Even if you subscribe to cable services, many now offer the same programming as apps on popular streaming products like Roku, Apple TV, and smart TVs. So, you might be inclined to believe that you don’t need anything more than a smart TV or streaming platform to get all the content you need.

It's true; you likely don't need anything more than streaming and all the right subscriptions. But there are other options. There are physical media like Blu-ray discs for movies and high-quality series like HBO's Game of Thrones. For many enthusiasts, physical media offers the best quality video and a high-resolution audio experience. But many enthusiasts also don't want to collect physical discs anymore. 

There is, however, a way to get all the convenience of streaming with the ultra-high-quality experience you want in your home media room – a Kaleidescape movie player. Read more below to upgrade your Charlotte, NC media for the ultimate visual and aural experience.
