Make your next home theater sound better with these acoustic treatment solutions.

While some retail customers might be satisfied with the surround sound that comes from the tiny plastic speakers that accompany their brand new home-theater-in-a-box, clients of custom installation companies often have much higher expectations.

Whether you're installing a million dollar room, or something a little more mainstream, discerning ears know that room acoustics matter a whole lot.

As Arthur Noxon of the Acoustic Sciences Corporation is fond of saying, "I'd rather listen to a mid-fi system in a high-end room than a high-end system in a mid-fi room, any day."

When you're designing a room from the get-go, acoustic considerations are pretty standard. But even for installations in existing rooms, solutions exist to smooth out the rough acoustic spots and make the whole room more harmonious, whether for music or movies.

Click here to view 12 acoustic treatment products for specific applications.
