After years of struggling to hear the vocals in movies or TV shows via TV speakers, a sound bar…read moreand bluetooth speakers, we decided to upgrade so we could immerse in surround sound and atmos. I began the search for home theater installation companies. I called four companies--one of which was a store chain and three others who are independent. Living On Technology (LOT) was a referral by one company I thought was a home theater company but was actually a distributer of home theater products to actual home theater companies, not consumers. That owner gave me Luis's name and number and told me that, in his opinion, no one knew more about home theater products than Luis. Our house could be considered more complex than the average home. The front main part is a pitched roof from 1955, the center part of the house is from 1970's and it is a flat roof, which extends to the back part of the house which is again a pitched roof. The area I wanted the home theater in is the flat roof section of the house. Upon meeting Luis, it became clear home theater is his passion. He came to our house without delay after I contacted him. He was personable, knowledgeable, and was able to tailor a system that would work for OUR house, was never pushy just to close the sale. I received visits and quotes from the other competitors, but honestly, no one could touch the level of knowledge and experience Luis brings to the table. Each home is unique. The flat roof in our house would not be easy to work with. On top of that, as the customer, I actually didn't know exactly what I wanted--standing or shelf or in-wall or in-ceiling speakers. It took me a while to figure out what exactly would be best for our house in terms of maximizing sound and yet respecting the decor I had in that room and throughout the house. There is so much more to consider than price. Rest assured, no matter what the decor style or the size of your space, Luis can advise you on the absolute best configuration and give you a range of prices and options for any budget. Luis developed a fantastic in-ceiling design. He brought in his team, CJ and Dean, and together they worked through the complex (the details/photos Luis can provide you) structural issues of our flat roof. Truly, no job is too complex for LOT. We are thankful we were put in touch with LOT. We now have the phenomenal sound we wanted without sacrificing the style and theme of our house. Oftentimes, I use the speaker system to play music when I'm in the next room making dinner. Watching TV has become an amazing, satisfying experience! The new home theater system is easy to operate, and anyone who has come to our house to hear it is absolutely blown away by the sound. No matter how complex your desired home theater space may seem (like our flat roof), whatever your budget, whatever your "theme" is in your house, you can feel confident Luis and his team will figure it all out, present ideas in a well thought out manner, and bring your home theater dream to life.

We were referred to Stereo Types after being told by the original Crestron and Lutron system…read moreinstaller that all the systems had to be replaced because they were too old to service and support. Wow, what a difference-- We had Roman from Stereo Types come out to give us his take. He didn't throw the other guys under the bus, in fact was complimentary of the work they had done. What he did do, however, was explain that while what they told us wasn't necessarily a lie, we did have options that wouldn't involve a 6-figure system replacement. He explained to us that there were a couple of options that allowed us to retain various parts of the system and set expectations on the anticipated life of anything that would not be replaced. This allowed us to make the decision that was right for us and how we live, especially since we are only here a few times a year. As it turned out, we ended up spending more than we expected going into this, but far less than we'd been told it would take to the same Crestron Home app for our phones, same Sony TVs, and same Crestron remote controls. As for the Lutron Lights and Shades system, the other company told us we had to upgrade the Lutron brain to make it work with the new Crestron, and also upgrade a bunch of the lighting equipment to work with the replacement LED lights we installed. Roman was able to make it work without any changes to the Lutron hardware by adjusting the programming so the LED lights stopped flickering and by using Apple Home Kit, we now have Siri Voice control of everything (which was not something the other guys were giving us). The bottom line, Stereo Types delivered a system that gave us more functionality than was proposed by others for about $40,000 less. Oh, almost forgot, the Service Agreement we decided to go with... I admit, it's expensive as crap, or so I thought until having to use their support team a few times in the past 6 months. They can remotely reboot things, which will usually solve an issue, but if not, our service plan includes Zoom Video Call support. This Zoom thing... it works. We had a music system issue during a charity fundraiser event-- I guess the kids got a bit crazy with the volume and the system stopped working. The girl on the Zoom knew exactly where to tell me to look in the AV rack and had me pull the power cord of a box, plug it back in-- 2 minutes later, the music was back. Anyway, we highly recommend these guys.
