Amazing, isn’t it? Their name is Smooth Audio. They’ve got every detail of the room to make it a real theatre experience. Some of their service include audio & video, lighting control, and even climate control! And, as you can see above, they do it in style! It looks really elegant. Wood that look like dark mahogany, the embroidered wall, which, I suppose lessens the echoes, the speakers installed so tastefully on the pillars, even the projector on the ceiling has its own wooden house! The red carpet made it look so regal. And of course, the lazy boys! I could just dream of having a room like this in our house. How about you?
