"We were moving into a new home in the PH area of Dallas and wanted to get our Media Room, Stereo for House, LED TVs hung and Security Equipment Installed.  I had 7 different AV companies big the project (received 6 quotes, I am sure Royal Home Theater will eventually give me my quote (its only been a month). All of them came and walked the house and listened to our needs.  All but one pull together a proposal for us based on our requirements. The pricing was all over the board, from $15K to $40K for the thing we wanted.
Starlight initially came in on the high side, but we were impressed with their experience and quality of equipment they could offer (many vendors bid Snap AV, which is an installer OEM with cheap quality and high list prices so we eliminated them). We went back and forth and reached a price we could both live with and decided to proceed with them. 
They proposed the following:
Media Room:
-Sony Control 4 Receiver 7.2
-7 Klipsch 3800R Speakers & 1 Klipsch Subwoofer (they painted the speaker covers to match the room)
-They used my Epson 3020 projector
-Dragonfly 106" screen
-3d Sony Blu-Ray Player
-Integrated my Xbox
-Netgear Wireless Access Point
-SR-250 Remote to control the system (We wanted something smaller)
Whole House:
Marrantz Receiver 7.2
-6 Sets of Speakers (R350, 250 & 150) in the different rooms
-Sonos Player (love this!)
-Rack System in our Audio Closet
-They also mounted 5 TVs (all 60"+) on all of our walls and worked with ATT to get UVerse working properly (they put in surge protection outlets on all of them)
Security:
Wirepath Infrared Cameras & 2 TB Recorder
It takes about a week to order the equipment in so you need to plan that when you are in this process and expect that you will pay anywhere from 75%-90% of the cost of the equipment when you sign the contract. They ordered the equipment on a Thursday and came to start the job the following Wednesday. Their guys (Adrian was the lead and would recommend him highly) showed up on time, prepared to work. They did have a back order on the speakers so Shane (the owner) actually upgraded our speakers to the 3800 in the media room so we could be done for the weekend. I had wanted to provide my own Projector as had gotten one as a gift from a friend and it turned out that the projector didn't work properly (some gift). They were actually really good about this, most companies would have charged you to come back out and install, but Adrian actually came out on Saturday morning and installed the 3020 for me that I picked up at BB (they offered to give me a loaner as well or sell me one, but  we had planned a movie sleepover for our son in the media room that Saturday night so decided to just get one myself). Adrian spent his Saturday making sure my system was fully operational before Saturday night. The sleepover was a huge hit. They sent their painter over the following week to paint all the speaker covers to match our walls and did an excellent job.
They came back the following Monday to do the whole house installation (they had to cut 6 sets of speakers into the various rooms). This can take a while as the installer had to tone them out (find them).  They installed all of them and put in controllers so we could manage the sound for each room. Highly recommend doing controls like this as you don't want to have to play in every room at the same volume. We had Sonos installed, which I would highly recommend.
They came back the next day and did the Camera System, which we set up so we could watch on our Ipads/iPhones and would recommend that as well. The multiple cameras definitely give good piece of mind. Get the Infrared as it works well. You also want at least a TB HD to record the camera feeds (especially if you have 4 or more camera).
In Summary, I would share that like all projects of this scale there are always going to be small hiccups along them way, but what is most important for me is how they are handled. Shane and his team (Danny -Operations Lead and Adrian -Project Lead) were 100% committed to make sure we were satisfied and did whatever was needed to do so. Whether it was Adrian coming out on his day off or Shane upgrading my speakers because the ones we ordered got backordered, they were professional from start to finish. You can definitely find someone cheaper out there, but what I have learned is you get what you pay for and it we didn't want someone who would nickle & dime us whenever something changed because they have you under contract. They were always fair and worked with us to come up with a good solution. We love our media room and use it almost daily. I was personally surprised how often my family uses the whole home audio (so simple my 11 yr old son controls from his iPad). The security cameras give my wife piece of mind.  They are good people who deliver a quality product at a fair price.
The most telling thing to share is that we are about to put in a pool and will definitely use Shane and his team to do our AV for it as well and would not use them unless we were fully satisfied with their work (you can see from my other reviews when I am not happy with someone). 
Good luck!

"Anthony came on time for the scheduled appointment. Was very courteous and made extra effort to make my family feel safe by following covid protocol. We hired him to do a complete home theater installation. Searched around for a few places, but after quoting and talking with us we knew to choose him for this service. He even gave me pointers and some knowledge on the process, which gave me ease of mind. Itâ s hard to know if youâ re getting what you pay for when you arenâ t even aware of whatâ s going on, so I am thankful for his transparency. Feels great knowing we got quality work for the price. May have him come back for some tv mounts. This is a job I would usually do myself, but worth the money to not have to worry and have a professional do it. Thank you to Anthony and the FRAT family for helping us finish this project! Awesome work!"

FAQs for home theater system or media center installation projects in Austin, TX

For those on a budget, a home theater system can be installed for as little as $5,000. This simple setup, which doesn’t require professional installation, includes essential components that provide reliable visual and audio performance. It's a budget-friendly way to enjoy movies, TV shows, and live events from the comfort of your home.

Plan to spend at least $70,000 for a high-end home theater. At this price point, you’re paying for advanced components, including flagship projectors, reference-grade speakers, dedicated subwoofers, robust A/V receivers, and professional installation. These features deliver outstanding picture quality, rich surround sound, and a polished finish. Costs climb quickly when you add custom seating, acoustic treatments, and smart-home integration, so ask your installer for a detailed estimate before committing.

The ideal screen size for optimal home theater viewing ranges between 100 and 120 inches. A well-proportioned home theater room measures 24 feet by 15 feet, with a minimum ceiling height of nine feet. However, smaller spaces, such as 15 feet by 20 feet or 10 feet by 12 feet, can also work well. These dimensions enhance acoustics and visual performance, creating an immersive entertainment environment.

A well-built home theater room should last as long as the house, but the electronics inside need periodic attention. Plan to review your equipment every four to five years to see whether new formats, connection standards, or performance upgrades justify a change. Upgrading outdated projectors, receivers, or streaming devices keeps the system running efficiently and prevents compatibility issues, all while protecting the investment you’ve already made in the space.
