George Lucas once said that sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie. Some even say it's as much as 80%. Sound is what makes you jump out of your seat, dive for cover, or reach for your box of tissues – and you’ll hear exactly why. Discover the evolution of cinematic audio while being the first in the country to experience Integra's new flagship 11.4 channel AV network receiver with state-of-the-art features and advanced technologies.
See and hear it here first: As CTA’s Smarthome Integrator of the Year, World Wide Stereo is proud to be selected as the exclusive launch partner of Integra’s new flagship AV receiver: the DRX-8.4. This powerhouse, next-gen AVR offers unprecedented flexibility with a deep feature set for amplification, audio support, connectivity, and system control of the whole home. The DRX-8.4 will be unveiled and demo'd for the first time to the public in our Music in Cinema session.

The listening experience – both amplified music and speech clarity - is impacted by reflected sound and noise caused by reverberation and room acoustics. When done right, acoustic treatments can turn a muddy sounding room with poor midrange definition and erratic bass response into one that sounds clear. We can show you how. From speaker configuration, room treatment, vibration isolation, and the impact of adding a sub, to a few small tips and tweaks you can employ today. Hear the difference for yourself with plenty of surprising A/B demos.
Shawn Thome, World Wide Stereo
We all hear and react to sound differently – there's a science and an emotional component behind how the brain interacts to music. So imagine this: the world's finest speakers, all in one place, side by side in a sonically pristine and tuned environment. We’ll demo the difference, guide you on what to look out for, and let you be the judge. We’re taking you on a journey from good, to better, to spectacular. This is the ultimate speaker demo, with a curated playlist. Sit back and enjoy.
