Home Theater
Denon
From its beginning in 1910 as a manufacturer of single-side disc records and gramophones, Denon has become a world leader in the manufacture of high quality audio equipment, audio/video equipment and software products for the entertainment and information industries. Denon is also the only company in the industry involved in the development and production of both hardware and software. We believe that Denon equipment is a great value for the customer wanting to build a home theater and control his multi-room audio at the same time. Denon makes it possible to do this without spending a fortune on separate pieces of equipment for the home and the theater. Denon designs equipment for the person wanting to have just about every option under the sun. If there is new technology on the horizon, you can bet Denon will be among the first to have it.
Vidikron
Vidikron is one of the world’s leading manufactures of video products, and has always been one of two companies that videophiles admire. Runco International is the other. In the summer of 2002 Runco acquired Vidikron and Sam Runco now owns the two companies. Over the last several years, Sam and his team members have spent a lot of time and energy developing the two most credible lines in the industry. At the 2004 Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Vidikron took the Blue ribbon award for having one of the best pictures available. If you are looking for a product that has superior build-quality along with a picture that will blow your socks off but won’t blow your budget, then Vidikron is the solution.
Simaudio
Simaudio Ltd., a Canadian manufacturer of audio and audio/video equipment, has been in business over 20 years designing and building high quality electronics for home entertainment use. Simaudio focuses on providing customers with ultimate enjoyment from the use of their high-end home entertainment music and surround systems. To that end, Simaudio is committed to building the finest, best sounding, longest lasting and most aesthetically attractive equipment you can find for a given price. Simaudio develops the kinds of products you only see come around every 10 years or so. When we here at Elite Sound and Cinema first heard their products, our jaws dropped. They were so musical and accurate we just fell in love with them, not to mention that their products are just gorgeous. Most companies that develop similar products may do a few things great but we have never found a product we couldn’t find a flaw with, until now. If you are looking for the best, Simaudio is the answer. Simaudio’s motto explains why we think so highly of this company and their products:
“Our mission is to design, build and offer to everyone, high-performance entertainment products that will stand the test of time in all areas. They will be immune to trendy, market-driven features and short life-cycles, while utilizing environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes to help preserve our planet.”
Focal-JMLab
Focal-JMLab started in 1980 in Saint Etienne, France, in a small workshop within a precision-engineering firm. The fledgling company had a workforce of just two people, including the current Chairman and CEO Jacques Mahul, a trained engineer and specialist in drive units. After more the 25 years in the industry JM Labs is now known for creating some of the most prestigious loudspeakers in the world. All of us here at Elite Sound and Cinema have come to love and trust Focal-JMLab products not only because they sound fantastic, but also because of the passion they put into each speaker they design. With speakers ranging from $370.00 to over $80,000.00, JM is sure to have you covered.
RBH Sound
Since 1976, RBH Sound has been designing, engineering and crafting high-performance loudspeaker systems, delivering superior acoustic reproduction at sensible prices. In our opinion RBH has some of the best service we have ever encountered. Their continued support and outstanding warranties (5 years parts and labor on cabinet-style speakers / 25 years on traditional in-wall products) allow us to give our clients first-class service. After all, it’s the service after the sale that counts—and with RBH, service is second to none. The company is based out of Layton, Utah, and has over 25 years of experience. RBH Sound has taken loudspeaker manufacturing to the next level with their line of freestanding and in-wall/in-ceiling speakers designed for custom installation. Their highly acclaimed Signature Series is available in over 30 uniquely different, high quality, genuine wood grain veneers, and was designed to both look and perform beautifully. When all of us here at Elite Sound and Cinema think of RBH Sound, we think of performance, integrity and value.
NAD Electronics
NAD entered the audio industry over 30 years ago. In 1972, NAD (originally an acronym for New Acoustic Dimension) set out to create a new kind of audio company. They were a group composed of audio-industry veterans: manufacturers, retailers, distributors and, above all, listeners. They were driven by passion for great sound, and by the desire to cut through the marketing hype that had become pervasive in the audio industry. They wanted to provide what people really wanted instead of what they were being sold. NAD is known in the industry as being the best bang for the buck, or the best value. A lot of people have never heard of NAD. That’s because the company chooses to put their money into their products, and not so much into advertising. Unlike a lot of mass-merchant companies who might advertise in “Car and Driver” or “Cosmo” magazines, NAD only advertises in audio and theater related magazines. This keeps their overhead down, thus saving you money. NAD also chooses to build their products for functionality and performance, instead of including tons of bells and whistles you will never use. That’s where their motto comes into play: performance, value, and simplicity.
Draper Screens
Draper inc. is a veteran when it comes to making theater screens and window coverings. The company was founded by Luther O. Draper in 1902 and is located in Spiceland, Indiana. When we think of theater screens and accessories we think Draper. There are several companies that do what Draper does. However, when you factor in build quality, aesthetics and price, Draper definitely dominates the market and for all of us here at Elite Sound and Cinema Draper is the only choice.
InFocus
Founded in 1986, InFocus is recognized as a projection pioneer and innovator, producing the industry’s most comprehensive line of business and home projectors, projector management tools, and wireless technology. Their legacy of innovation includes groundbreaking products such as the flat-panel overhead display, the first data/video projector, the first fully-featured sub-five-pound digital projector, and the only three-pound projectors with premium features, HDTV support and digital connectivity.
InFocus has stimulated tremendous growth in the projection industry by constantly challenging the definitions of “projection” and “wireless” with lighter, brighter and easier-to-use products that range from two-pound projectors to versatile meeting-room projectors, to projector management systems and super-bright installation and integration systems for business use.
Beginning in 2001, InFocus entered the home-entertainment industry with products that bring the movie theater experience into the home. With the ability to project images nearly five times as large as the top widescreen televisions, InFocus projectors bring unmatched clarity and intensity to the world of home theater.
