Modern Family Room
This family room proves that high style and high tech can peacefully coexist in even the most sophisticated of interiors. Designed by Rob Turner at CRT Studio, the bamboo cabinet floats on the architectural stone wall. Soft backlighting around the cabinet provides soft illumination while watching TV in the dark.
Equipment Rack
Storch Entertainment installs all but the smallest of our systems in an equipment rack. When we mention "the rack," we are often asked, "what's that (and why do I need it)?" Pictured is a typical rack that contains all of the equipment required to provide music throughout a home. In addition to music, this rack contains all of the components for the surround sound system located in a family room. This type of rack allows us to assemble, wire, test and program the systems in our offices prior to installation in the house. After installation, if service is required, the rack rolls out for access to the rear of the components. Put simply, a rack allows us a simpler and more reliable installation with fewer loose ends than if we built the system on site.

Best Concert Video (Ever)
The Police Certifiable may be the best DVD concert ever. Forgetting the performances (which are great), the audio and video quality are top rate. Also great is the camera work; unlike many concerts, the cinematography is smooth and consistent. There are none of the fast cuts or jumpy camera work that plague many other concert performances. All in all a 10 for performance, audio, video and watchability.
