Experience Your Home Theater Before You Buy

Why visit a showroom when you can hear the difference in your actual space? We conduct full demonstrations right in your home. We'll set up good, better, and best theater configurations so you can make an informed decision based on how systems actually sound in your room — not in some acoustically treated showroom.

 

Site surveys are $250, which is fully credited to your project when you move forward. This small fee ensures we're working with serious clients while giving you honest, pressure-free evaluation.

From Design to Final Calibration

Mike Knows Audio Video handles every aspect of your home theater installation. We design the system for your space, select and install all components, run all wiring, and professionally calibrate everything for optimal performance.

Every system comes with professional calibration. We never use receiver auto-calibration — instead, we manually measure and tune your room using the same professional tools and techniques used in recording studios.

What makes us different?

We don't just install equipment from catalogs.

We actually build the speakers themselves handcrafted in our Arizona workshop and custom-tuned for your specific room. Our speakers feature built-in amplification with advanced digital processing, giving you studio-grade sound quality that can't be achieved with standard off-the-shelf speakers. Our high quality, high end speakers are built for you, your room, your lifestyle.

Best Warranty. We have a 10yearwaranty on our speakers and a 2 year warranty on our home theater installations. See our WARRANTY page for more details.

Featured Project: Custom 7.1 Theater in Sedona

This Sedona home theater demonstrates what's possible when speakers are designed and built for a specific space, not pulled from a manufacturer's catalog. Every component was handcrafted in our Arizona workshop and calibrated specifically for this room's unique acoustic characteristics.

Custom Tower Speakers — 360 Pounds of Handcrafted Audio

The front left and right towers stand nearly 6 feet tall and weigh 360 pounds each. These aren't just big speakers — they're complete audio systems engineered for full-range, room-shaking performance:

- Dual 18-inch subwoofers per tower with 1,500 watts of integrated amplification
- 8-inch woofer for punchy mid-bass
- 4-inch dome midrange for clear, detailed vocals
- 7-inch ribbon tweeter for silky, extended highs without harshness

By integrating the subwoofers directly into the tower cabinets, we eliminated the placement compromises and "boomy" bass problems that plague systems with separate subwoofer boxes. The bass is tight, controlled, and powerful — you feel it in your chest without the muddy one-note rumble of typical home theater subs.

The matching center channel carries the same driver complement (minus the 18-inch subs) for seamless tonal balance across the front soundstage. Dialogue is crystal clear at any volume, perfectly anchored to the screen regardless of where you're sitting.

The rear surrounds feature a unique dual-firing design built specifically for this room:

- Dual 2-inch ribbon tweeters
- Dual 3-inch midrange drivers firing toward the ceiling and along the walls
- Creates an enveloping, diffuse surround field rather than localized "speaker" sound

Two dedicated 6-inch rear subwoofers with 300 watts each add low-frequency impact from behind the listening position. Combined with the 3,000 watts of bass power in the front towers, this system delivers visceral, full-body impact. When the subs hit hard, you feel it in your clothes and the lights dim — exactly what a home theater should do.

System Components

- Receiver: Yamaha RX-A8A flagship Aventage receiver
- Primary Source: Roku streaming
- Gaming: Sony PlayStation 5
- Total Subwoofer Power: 3,600 watts (1,500W x2 front towers + 300W x2 rear subs)
- Total System Configuration: 7.1 channels of handcrafted, room-calibrated audio

Every speaker in this Sedona installation was designed in CAD, CNC-machined in our Arizona workshop, and calibrated on-site using professional acoustic measurement tools. The result is reference-quality home theater audio that you feel as much as hear — immersive, powerful, and engineered specifically for this room.

Not Your Typical Home Theater Installer

Most home theater installers order equipment from manufacturers and mount it in your home. We take a fundamentally different approach — we design and build the speakers ourselves in our Arizona workshop.

This level of customization means your theater is engineered specifically for your space and preferences. Cabinet geometry is optimized for your room's acoustics. Finishes match your interior design. Integrated amplification and DSP allow calibration precision that passive speakers cannot achieve.

We take on a maximum of 15 clients per year. This intentional limit ensures every installation receives obsessive attention to detail and comprehensive long-term support.
