"Carlos and his Team have helped my family for almost 20 years. From complex home theater setups, outdoor tv and Audio, to simple smart tv setups, the work is always professionally done for a great price. I have never once had an issue with the products recommended by Carlos or the installation. Reach out to Carlos for simple purchases to room setups. Truly a great experience all around!"
Carlos has the speaker installed along with the TV mount well underway.  Xfinity cable box, Sonos amplifier etc all concealed down within the homes basement!  Out of sight, out of mind!

TV's don't have to always look like a TV.  Why not match your TV and audio system to match the aesthetics in your room?

"I hired Promethean Solutions to install a complete audio/visual system in my new tattoo shop. The end result far exceeded my expectations. Sean mounted a TV in the lobby and set the shop up with a great wirelessly controlled audio system. He also networked the shop so it works seamlessly. The work quality is top shelf as well as the professionalism he did it with."

"I asked Lee for a quote for 2 alternative solutions to install a surround sound and hang TV on the wall, with the goal of removing the components and the TV stand/media center from the leaving room. Lee came up with a much more creative idea to achieve my goal that wan't more extensive than what I asked him to do. Lee was very knowledgable and understands video, sound and system design. I like that fact that he does the design, was on site with the installers while the job was done, and came at the end to fine tune/calibrate my system himself. The result was beyond my expectation. the sound/video is incredible, and the most important thing no media center/TV stand, no components everything is nicely hidden at the top of our coat closet in an unused space. 
Why did Lee stand out from the others?
He was very knowledgeable (I did an extensive research before and all his recommendations were spot on), honest and creative. He was involved in every step of the process His prices were competitive, and he didn't try to up-sell me more expensive stuff than what I needed, or already had. Also, Lee stuck to his final quote even though the job took longer that expected.
Finally, I have to respond to a negative review that someone wrote saying that Lee quoted  $800 for a universal remote. Obviously I wasn't part of their conversation, but I find it hard to believe b/c ALL the quotes I got from Lee were in writing by email and he
quoted me around $400 for a high end remote including his time to program it to my system. It is a shame that people can write inaccurate stuff and effect someone's reputation that way.

"He showed up promptly. Getting it running again was easy--mainly a matter of plugging it in correctly. He also installed a new printer cartridge. He let me know that the old Windows XP could not be updated but that the computer could continue to be used as is. I was grateful for his kindness and thoroughness when my issues must have seemed very basic.

"An electrician came to give an estimate and was very polite, and worked on the job right away. However, I did not get competitive pricing and I should have done that. The cost was very high and the work done was ok, but not perfect, and the staff person left a big mess near where he had been working in my basement, so that was disappointing.
Overall, when I questioned the cost, the company was very nice about allowing me to pay in installments and to defer some of the cost for a later bill, but they would not reduce the price after the work was done. I will always get at least two estimates in the future.
I think Markarian is a very capable reliable organization, but they are not inexpensive. The office staff is wonderful, and they are very professional.

"Brain was amazing! He put the light together and taught us how it worked and then installed it all within an hour. He followed all COVD precautions and yet was personable and easy to chat with. It was very easy to communicate with the company and the pricing was transparent and fair. I will definitely hire them again"

FAQs for home theater surround sound system installation projects in Boston, MA

Installing ceiling speakers is challenging and often the most difficult type of installation for surround sound systems. It involves electrical work and cutting into the ceiling, all done from a ladder, which can slow progress and increase labor costs. You can save money by choosing surface-mounted speakers on brackets instead of in-ceiling designs.

Surround sound systems are worthwhile if you value immersive experiences for movies and gaming. For casual music listening or TV watching, the benefits may not justify the costs. Consider testing a system at a retail store to determine if it's right for you. Starting with a standard 5.1 system allows you to upgrade over time.

Soundbars are an efficient audio solution that delivers clear sound. They can simulate the surround sound experience when you pair them with satellite speakers. However, dedicated 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound systems offer superior fidelity and immersive performance that is essential for fully engaging movie, TV, and gaming experiences.

The cost to install a home theater system represents a comprehensive entertainment experience that transforms your living space. Building a home theater system costs an average of $17,500, including essential components such as a large TV or projector, a surround sound system, premium seating, and a media center. The overall expense adjusts based on room dimensions and the quality of each appliance, ensuring that every installation meets specific spatial and performance requirements. This structured cost approach provides a clear framework for achieving a high-performance home theater.
