Two things we do every day

Most people call us about one of two rooms: the one where they watch, and the one where they listen. Often it is the same room.

Home theater

From a simple media room to a state-of-the-art dedicated movie theater, designed so the sound puts you inside the film and the equipment stays out of sight.

  • Theater design training with Russ Herschelman
  • Built the theater for Rev Run of RUN DMC on DIY Network's "Rev Run's Renovation"
  • Hidden mirror TVs up to seven feet, in-wall and in-ceiling speakers

High-end music systems

Systems built to recreate the illusion of living, breathing musicians playing in your own home, and to sit in that home as if they belonged there.

  • Anywhere from $2,000 to $200,000
  • Class-leading makers and lesser-known European imports
  • Lifestyle systems from Naim, Elac, Dali, NAD and Bluesound

How a system comes together

No reading spec sheets in the dark. You hear the options first, in a real room, with your own music.

What customers say after the visit

Dave Lalin of Audio Intellect is an honest, knowledgeable and hard-working audio expert. He's found our perfect speakers, and helped us trade an expensive but inappropriate receiver for one that suits our needs perfectly. When we decided to transform our living room into an Atmos home theater, Dave and his staff did a clean, fast, precise job, installing on-wall and in-ceiling speakers and fine-tuning the system for that breathtaking, "you are there" sound. Here's a standing ovation for Audio Intellect!

Thank you Dave for a masterful installation of all my 6 electronic pieces. I had had a Geek squad person who wasted two hours of my life! You effectively connected all my pieces and now my home theater system is at optimum operational level. Thank you for a difficult job very well done.
Patricia I Cortez
Had a great visit with Audio Intellect today. Extremely helpful, no pressure to buy, and no feeling of being pushed towards one line or another. Here's somebody you can trust to help you make a tough decision. You shouldn't think twice before giving a call and paying a visit.
