We know the great feeling we get when listening to good music. In this case, good music is whatever you like to listen to. One person's idea of captivating music is another's cacophony. It doesn't matter what you like; you know the rapturous feeling you experience when you hear it.

Yet music isn’t only about the emotional response. Critical listening on a high-fidelity home audio system can give you an entirely new appreciation of your favorite music or even music you're exploring as something new.

So, what is critical listening, and how can it increase your music enjoyment in your Buckhead, GA home? Let’s explore three key elements below.

Lighting control is one of the most popular smart home features with Georgia homeowners. But is it a necessity or nice-to-have? The answer will depend on your preferences and lifestyle. We could direct you to our many blogs on lighting control, but we thought we could help by giving you a little quiz.

While there are several ways to control lighting in your Atlanta home, our solution of choice is Lutron, a pioneer and continual innovator in lighting. To see if Lutron lighting control is right for you, just answer the following questions in our little quiz. At the end, we'll score your answers and tell you how good a candidate you are for lighting control!

It’s rare to have the perfect acoustic environment during a home theater installation. Every installation will have a few acoustic issues to address, whether it has to do with the shape of the room or the wall material. Two primary things will affect the sonic performance in your home: speaker placement and acoustic treatments. 

Here, we’ll focus primarily on the latter and how acoustic treatments help to create a more immersive viewing experience in your Metro Atlanta home theater, whether you live in Dunwoody or beyond. Eliminating acoustic issues shouldn’t come at the expense of your theater aesthetics, though. Which is why we partner with Acoustic Innovations. Their WallScapes come in various shapes, sizes, and colors to fit your unique interior design preferences.

It’s a funny thing about remote controls. They’ve been around for decades, yet many of them still are needlessly complicated – especially AV remotes. For many of our clients, they are a source of frustration.

As a home technology company in the business for 30 years, you might surmise that we've seen our share of remotes. You’re right: We’ve lost count! Some are better than others. Of course, as a professional integrator, we strive for ease of use in all our installations by specifying and customizing control solutions that fit what our clients want. And we're always looking for a better, faster, more straightforward control solution for our customers.

Some might not get too excited over a new remote, but we are thrilled to announce a new one from our smart home control brand partner Control4. It’s called the Neeo, and it’s much more than an AV remote - it fuses together the best part of touchscreens and button remotes with the power of Control4’s new OS 3 smart home system.

We're so excited about it, in fact, that we're planning an event on November 21st from 4-8 PM at our Marietta showroom to introduce it. Not only will you get to experience the Control4 Neeo, but we will also have representatives on hand from top brand partners Sony, Monitor Audio, and Lutron lighting for demos, free giveaways, and special offers. 

Is this the dream remote you’ve been wanting for your Control4 system in Dunwoody? Read on to get the early scoop - and don’t forget to come to the event!

The audio world is full of terminology and buzzwords. There are the traditional ones, like preamplifiers, amplifiers, woofers, tweeters, crossovers, and more. If you’re into audio at all, you know what these are. Then there are words that describe how a speaker or system sounds, like soundstage. If you're an audio fan, you know what that means, too.

Then there are the terms that came in with digital audio. How about lossless vs. compressed, MP3 vs. AAC, 16bit/44 kHz vs. 24bit/192 kHz sampling? For some people, they might have little to no meaning, other than they might surmise lossless is always better than compressed. The reality is, like in most things related to audio, there are not always absolute truths.

If you are familiar with all this as you sit in Johns Creek, GA listening to music on your whole-home audio system, you might wonder if high-resolution audio is something essential or a feature you can blissfully ignore. Keep reading to see which side of the fence you may fall.

Home audio systems tend to last a long time. Good quality hi-fi audio gear sometimes may not be replaced for 15 years or more. Analog components like preamplifiers, amplifiers, and speakers don’t need to be replaced unless they falter or you simply want something newer and different.

So why ever upgrade a home audio setup? While the analog side of audio hasn't necessarily changed that much, digital technology is another story altogether. As we know, almost any digital technology moves forward at a breakneck pace. Today's TVs offer astounding performance advantages over those of a decade ago. And your smartphone is nearly obsolete after about five years.

So why might you take another look at your audio system and decide to step it up? Let GHT Group, metro Atlanta’s home audio installation expert, give you three reasons to nudge you into something new.

A few months ago, we undertook a big step in changing and expanding our company's direction, rebranding from Georgia Home Theater to GHT Group. Why the new name? We’re still big on home theater, but the name was only part of what we do now.

GHT Group is all about home technology, with a fast-growing business in the commercial sector as well. We want to be the premier technology partner for residences and companies in Johns Creek and across the metro Atlanta area. And we think, to paraphrase the Carly Simon song, that nobody does it better in Georgia. Whether you are looking for the best brands in audio and video, the top solutions in smart home automation, the latest in home security, and most important of all – top-flight service – GHT Group does it all.

Keep reading for three ways GHT Group is a different smart home company, and why you should turn to us for your technology solutions.

If you have moved to Midtown Atlanta in the past few years, you have seen tremendous growth and improvement in this urban enclave. The Olympic Games in 1996 helped accelerate that growth, and the area boasts amenities like the Woodruff Arts Center, Atlantic Station, great restaurants and so much more.

You enjoy living in your modern urban high-rise, but come summer the hot southern sun streaming in your floor-to-ceiling view windows makes your air conditioning work overtime. It's easy enough to draw the curtains or shades, but you don't want to block the view. And continually opening and closing drapes and shades gets tiring. What's the solution? Motorized shades.

You might think that motorized shades might be limiting in style, too modern, or challenging to install in your space. We'd like to politely dispel all those notions here and show you how motorized shades will enhance your urban Atlanta living spaces.

We always say that lighting should be part of a well-thought-out interior design. Surprisingly, sometimes lighting is thought of functionally but not aesthetically. But if you’re a design professional, we’re preaching to the converted; you understand the importance of light and its effects on your projects.

A great lighting scheme for a home involves many facets, from the fixtures for function and aesthetics to control. As one of Georgia's premier home technology and interior lighting design companies with a showroom in Marietta, we think of all the details, including the last lighting mile (or perhaps foot?). The touchpoints for light control can and should be an integral part of the lighting design for a home. And that brings us to the subject of this blog: two exquisite choices in lighting keypads from Lutron, the industry leader in lighting control. Please keep reading!

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again – LED technology has created a revolution in lighting. You're seeing it everywhere. In cars, LED lighting has almost totally replaced incandescent and xenon lighting for bright, long-lasting headlights and taillights. In homes, LED bulbs and fixtures offer up to 80% better efficiency and longevity compared to incandescent ones.

But that’s not all. LED technology makes tunable lighting possible to change white color temperature and render color, creating more flexible lighting than ever before. And LED technology makes it possible to design impossibly thin and flexible light sources, like linear lighting.  With new options like Ketra lighting and low voltage LED solutions, GHT group is an interior lighting design company offering new ways to add functional and beautiful illumination to your Buckhead, GA home. Keep reading below to learn how LED linear lighting can add a new level of aesthetic appeal to your home.

What is a great home theater entertainment experience? Is it the vivid visuals on a giant screen? Is it the enveloping sound that puts you in the middle of every scene? Is it the plush seat, where you can sit comfortably through the full three-plus hours of Avatar or Oppenheimer? Of course, it's all these things and more, whether they are visible or invisible. A great home theater experience combines many details, large and small, to create a cohesive experience. An experience that, every time, makes you glad you invested in a custom theater for your Atlanta home. 

GHT Group has been building home cinemas for over three decades in metro Atlanta, focusing on every detail to create the ultimate audio-visual space in your home. Please continue reading below as we discuss the major elements of what makes a great home theater experience. 

The days of the old-fashioned doorbell are gone. Nowadays, you can see who is at the door and communicate with those people directly without having to walk all the way to the front of the house.

DIY video doorbells have become increasingly popular because they are relatively simple to install and access, but the performance of that technology can be unreliable, especially if there are any errors in the installation process.

Since 2003, Control4 has been leading the charge when it comes to smart home automation services, offering robust and stable control systems that, through a professional installation, can enhance how you interact with your home space.

Intercom Anywhere is Control4’s latest innovation, taking the core idea of a video doorbell and expanding it so the technology plays a more significant role in overall home communications.
