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.

Subwoofers is a new category for the Brand Analysis.

Sonos debuts as the leader, likely riding the popularity of its soundbars and wireless whole-house audio capabilities. Klipsch, B&W and Episode make strong showings, and Sunfire garnered much support perhaps fueled by its selection of smaller-footprint solutions.
