LOSE YOURSELF TO THE MAGIC OF A HOME THEATER
EVERY SEAT CAN BE THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE
A home theater can be an oasis of escapist entertainment. When the room is dark, the screen is bright and commanding, and the sound is all around you, you can escape into the innermost parts of the story. It's easy to tune out the everyday stresses and strains, and you can be in another world for a while.
How do you create that level of immersion? A large screen is a given, but proper home theater design creates the comfort and aural ambiance necessary to complete the magic of being transported from your Vail, CO, home to another world. Let's explore solutions in audio and seating that make it possible.

CINEMA SEATING
Comfort is paramount in a home theater. There is no escape if the seat is uncomfortable; you can't stretch out or fully relax. The classic approach to theater seating has been the reclining lounge chair, but today’s modular solutions let you mix and match seating to cater to everyone’s size and taste. A rear row of high-back, reclining loungers can be combined with a sofa-style seat with a chaise in the front row that accommodates children and sprawling for a good binge-watch or video games. Color-matched fabrics add visual interest while keeping the decor unified. Amenities like snack tables, cup holders, and USB charge ports add to the convenience and enjoyment of time in the theater.
Home theater designers often start with seating. The number of seats and their layout will dictate many other aspects of the theater, including the size and positioning of the screen. Today’s multichannel sound systems might have as many as sixteen speakers to deliver immersive surround sound, and each seat must get that same experience. The placement of the speakers and how many will be used are critical to achieving the best performance.
STEINWAY LYNGDORF AUDIO
For an exceptional cinematic aural experience, you need an exceptional sound system. Steinway Lyngdorf audio solutions are the kind you will find only in the best home cinemas. Steinway Lyngdorf speakers and surround sound processors are engineered to a different level. The processors and amplifiers keep the audio signals in the digital domain on the path to the speakers for faithful reproduction of the soundtrack without coloring or degradation that can occur with multiple analog-to-digital conversions.
Steinway Lyngdorf speakers are masterworks of both engineering and design. Freestanding speakers wear a piano black and gold color scheme that adds elegance to any room. The dipole design radiates sound forward and backward, creating a deeper and wider soundstage perfect for modern immersive soundtracks. A range of architectural speakers integrate more discreetly in high-style theaters but still feature the engineering and artful design of freestanding flagship speakers. On-wall and in-wall models can be mixed and matched for surround and overhead speakers according to the size and acoustic properties of the theater room.
