The elegant coffee table book Home Theaterology will again be available from creator Richard Charschan, president of AcousticSmart (booth #3939) at this year’s CEDIA Expo, taking place Sept. 3-6 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.
Richard Charschan says that since its launch at last year’s Expo, this love letter to the art and craft of home theater has received great support from the CEDIA community and has been instrumental in helping to showcase high-end projects to both homeowners and designers.
“We created Home Theaterology to reignite the passion for home theater by showing everyone how amazing these rooms can be in terms of both performance and design,” says Charschan. “Our mission has been successful so far, creating a movement to elevate the home theater experience and educate homeowners, as well as the design, and architecture communities on the immense potential of home theaters.”
In fact, according to CE Pro’s 2025 Home Entertainment Deep Dive research, custom integrators earned $62,500 per dedicated theater job last year and completed a median of four projects, with nearly one-third of them executing at least 11 home theaters. Meanwhile, Yelp reports that searches on its site for professional home theater installers surged by 562%.
Richard Charschan will be signing and selling copies of the book at the AcousticSmart booth, as well as other opportunities at partners’ booths and demo areas that include:
- Kaleidescape (9/4, 2:30-3:30 p.m., booth #3107)
- Barco Residential (9/4, 3:45-5 p.m., booth #3725)
- Apex Technologies (9/5, 11 a.m.-noon, booth #4316)
- JBL, StormAudio and madVR (both 9/5, 2:15-4 p.m., in front of SR6 and SR7)
Additionally, Charschan will discuss the topic of home theaters with industry experts and successful integrators as moderator of a panel session, “The Art of High-End Home Theater Sales,” at 1 p.m. on Friday, September 5, on the Smart Stage.
