Never heard of most of these new exhibitors. Why aren’t the big industry vendors exhibiting? There used to be 250 or so vendors at EHX. Now there’s around 85. Can we get registration refunds?

Joel, I have personally run dozens projects of this size with my own company and know how hard it can be given the scale. The CI we chose will have the skill set and background to bring this project to closure. Every client…

Every project is a challenge and bigger projects are just bigger challenges. The house will be built, systems will go in and the client will be happy in the end. The only hard part is getting there. Thanks for all the support,…

As Mr. Spock said (I believe) to Mr. Savak in The Wrath of Kahn, “Sauce for the Goose”. But seriously, this is where the most experienced CI professional shine. There is a lot more to this than just being a technology guy, a design…

Gary Reber from Widescreen Review would be a great member of your jury. He’s intimately familiar with all aspects of CI and is personally in the middle of his own “dream home” construction project.

I think the best punch line would have been to show the wife reminding the husband what happened when he didn’t hire a pro to fix the sink, or to install sprinklers or something that he screwed up. Then cut to “honey I told you…

Yup, and because of that they’re the only CE manufacturer with more than one product represented in our homes. Why? Because their stuff just plain works, and works simply and well. We currently own nine Apple products and will likely…

I have just recently installed my PT-AE4000 in my dedicated living room and I’m using the zoom method (more or less since lens shift is required) on a 98” scope screen (small size due to room constraints). After one month of watching…
DrFlick (Posted on 02/09/10, 08:18 AM)
Mark, I agree with the assessments of your situation. What you are highlighting is something that, unfortunately, is pretty typical out in the field (just not quite as large a scale). You’re having a positive attitude…

My favorite was speaker guru Arnie Nudell’s acronym for the first two “mass market” speakers from Infinity Systems - the POS1 and POS2 - and, yes, POS stood for exactly what you think and not Partially Organic Speaker.

Dan Fulmer made three radical changes to 15-year-old Fultech Solutions in 2009. It launched a commercial division, opened a 2,500-square-foot “green” showroom and rolled out $1,695-per-year service contracts. The company, which used to do 15 percent commercial work, now does 50 percent.
