When we moved in we wanted to get our home theater set up right away. I looked at several local outfits (including big box places like Best Buy) but settled on Kenny Nordlund with Connected Media. For us, it came down to how we were going to control everything and Connected Media advocates and specializes in the "Control4" system. It's a great way to easily control everything in the media room (using their proprietary remote OR any smartphone/tablet/etc), but is expandable into whole home automation.
Kenny Nordlund, the president of Connected Media, was very patient and answered all of my many questions. The process was low pressure and easy. Pricing was very competitive (to my surprise, came in MUCH lower than the big box stores and was in line with other local providers).
Our media room was brand new and was pre-wired, but there was not any equipment there, so it was a "ground up" install. Mr Nordlund's installers arrived on time with all of the equipment. They wore "surgical booties" to cover their shoes whenever they were in the house. The whole install (screen, projector, 7.1 surround with flush mount speakers) took around 4-6 hours. When they were done, I swear, the room was cleaner than it was when they got there. And the system has worked flawlessly ever since (installed in January 2016).
I don't give recommends lightly, but this was a top notch experience. If you are looking to have a theater room installed, I urge you to contact Connected Media to at least get an estimate. If you end up giving him your business, I am confident that you'll be glad you did! I have no idea if they do anything for referrals, but feel free to let him know that Paul sent you.
