$150K Home Theater System

This $150K system is an example of a well-rounded dedicated home theater. Separate components, designed specifically for home theaters, provide for more power and performance across the system. Starting with Kaleidescape Terra and Strato C as the source, the system will achieve 4x video and 10x audio bitrates of streaming devices, while providing integrated automation capabilities. A 13.2-channel DSP processer and 11 channels of true 250-watt amplification deliver full lossless audio to a 7.4.4 surround sound system. This ensures a truly immersive audio experience that delivers clarity during the softest whispers and stability during the loudest explosions. Sony’s native 4K laser projector maximizes lumen brightness to take advantage of today’s 4K HDR films. When paired with an electronic masking screen, your experience will feel like a movie theater at home.
