Enjoy Fast, Reliable, and Robust Connectivity Throughout Your Home

Today's luxury residences feature a wide range of connected devices for entertainment, security, and automation. While an apartment may include dozens, like locks, cameras, and TVs, smart devices in bigger estates could number in the hundreds. Since these depend on the network to function, reliable connectivity becomes ever more important.

No matter the size of your property, you’ll struggle with lagging, slow speeds, and dead zones when integrating smart home solutions using entry-level networks. That's why robust home network setups are the foundation of all our installations—to give our clients in the St. Louis Metro and the surrounding areas the tech-forward lifestyles they desire. 

Explore High-Performance Solutions for Audio in Limited Spaces 

Over the years, we’ve expanded the reach of our home technology services, but high-performance audio is still the heart and soul of our business. Nothing is more exciting than exposing people to nuisances in their favorite recordings they had no idea existed. We take extra pleasure in educating our clients in the St. Louis Metro area and throughout the Midwest that high-end audio is possible in any space. 

Though we specialize in expansive residences, we also work in apartments, condos, and retirement homes with unique limitations. As Sonus Faber dealers, we offer a wide range of speaker models to meet their needs. In particular, we’ve found that their latest wireless Duetto model is perfect for delivering crystal-clear sound in smaller environments. 

This blog highlights some common challenges of adding hi-fi systems to small spaces and showcases why Duetto is often our go-to solution. 

Explore the Benefits of a Professionally Installed Multi-Room Audio System

When Alexa first hit the scene in 2014, it was an instant game-changer in our industry. For years, clients wanted to incorporate voice control into their home automation systems, but the traditional platforms didn't make it easy. Not only was Alexa much easier to use, but we quickly found ways to incorporate it into our installations. That is to say, we have nothing against Alexa and other smart assistant speakers. 

The problem is that we're seeing more and more people settling for Alexa or other smart speakers as the foundation of their multi-room audio systems. We don't entirely blame them when setting up is so easy. But there are many reasons why we recommend our clients in the St. Louis metro area upgrade to a better solution.

Enjoy the Best Sports Time of the Year with an Outdoor Entertainment Area
