Smart Home Audio Visual / AV Systems: Home Cinemas, Media Rooms and Smart Audio
Many smart homeowners want to access their favourite entertainment throughout their home, as well as create an atmosphere that matches their mood. Smart AV systems such as media rooms and smart multi-room audio setups can be a big part of this. And let’s not forget the blockbusting home cinema.
Home Cinemas and AV Systems
The home cinema is the Hollywood celebrity of the smart home - Everybody knows them, most people like them, and you don’t have to put them in the middle of a complicated plot to get people interested.
For as long as I can remember, TVs have stood firm at the top of the home appliance popularity stakes. Demand for them transcends class and earnings. Millionaires and minimum-wage-earners alike are wont to invest significant portions of their income in getting the right one.
It’s probably no surprise then that their descendants – smart TVs and home cinema systems - have led the way for smart tech, selling hundreds of millions when many perfectly good smart home appliances are still pushing to manage a hundred thousand. If you’re interested in the home cinema’s star power, take a look at our blog on the subject for all the information you could want.

Amina Mobius and Edge
Amina may have solved a problem that music lovers have been facing since the 1950s. In the world of speakers, bigger is better, but nothing will ruin a calm lounge or dining room like massive stacks of amplifiers.

Want to hear more about it, just take a look at our review of the two smart products.
Gallo Acoustics
Gallo Acoustics are another speaker company whose constricted geometry has pushed the boundaries of what we thought was possible, while exciting audiophiles in the process. Their cute, 4-11” spheres can produce clear audio that makes them sound 5 to 10 times as big as they are.
They replace the traditional magnet setup with a semi-spherical layer of material that expands when electricity is passed through it and is then pulled back into shape, creating expansive sound in a small space. Learn more by reading our review.
