CE Pro's annual Brand Analysis study surveys the top 100 highest-revenue residential integration firms, otherwise known as the CE Pro 100, to determine their preferred brands in the categories of audio, video, home automation, networking, lighting control, security and more.
In this category-by-category breakdown, senior editor Bob Archer delivers an in-depth look at the most frequently used manufacturers in 55 product categories. The numbers associated with each manufacturer reflect the number of CE Pro 100 dealers using that brand.
As competitive as the Seating category has been over the years, it is even more so in 2017. Ahead in the category with the slimmest of leads, CinemaTech edges Salamander Designs and Fortress.
Like many categories, this one is growing as more than two dozen companies received mention.
