While laser light source projectors have been around for some time, affordable is not an adjective that typically goes with laser. But lately, that’s changed, and if you’re looking for a new or upgraded high-quality projector that won’t break the bank, Sony’s got just the product - the VPL-XW5000ES.

Why would you want a laser light source for your home theater in Atlanta or Marietta, GA? It’s simple; laser light engines last far longer than lamp-based ones. These lasers can last up to 20,000 hours of use, which makes for a lot of movies and entertainment over many years. But there’s more to this wallet-friendly laser-based Sony 4K projector. Explore the details below!

Some say this is the golden age of audio, and we think they’re right. We cannot think of another time when there were so many options to choose from for great sound. It doesn’t matter whether you’re into the ease of wireless speakers like Sonos or the legendary quality of McIntosh equipment; there is excellent audio quality to be had at every end of the price spectrum.

We've had several blogs featuring various high-end audio products from Klipsch and MartinLogan speakers to turntables and amplifiers.  In this blog, we wanted to highlight a couple of options that deliver the sound quality that any Atlanta audio enthusiast could applaud at two ends of the budget spectrum. As we're talking about hi-fi audio here, budget does not mean inexpensive. As any enthusiast knows, truly great sound does not come cheap.

Of course, these are but two options to get you thinking about your high-end audio upgrade; GHT Group has many others. But these two can start the creative juices flowing!

Sonos is a popular audio system for audio enthusiasts of all stripes. First, their wireless speakers sound as good or better than those of practically any other vendor at like prices. Second, Sonos is also a software-based solution, offering simplified app-based configuration, room correction tuning, a host of streaming sources, and more built into an intuitive app.

If you’ve started a Sonos experience with a smart speaker like the Sonos One, you’ve likely enjoyed the sound quality, ease of use, and convenience of voice control with Amazon Alexa or Google Home. You can pair two of them for fuller stereo sound, with no wiring required – but you do have to plug them in. You can then add another one or two of them in another room, and with a few clicks, presto, you can have synchronized multiroom audio for your favorite music and podcasts. Or you can have a soundbar for your TV like the Arc or Beam, and that can serve as a part of your multiroom system too.

But there's even more you can do for whole-home audio with other custom-installed Sonos products from GHT Group. Read on to learn more about Sonos multiroom system solutions and if they’re right for your home.

We firmly believe that motorized shades are the kind of thing that once owned, you cannot live without them again. Besides the sheer convenience of using a button or a voice command to set up your window treatments just the way you want them for natural light, they can be a significant part of your energy-saving toolset.

In the past, we've discussed the many advantages of motorized shades, from the luxury to security aspects. And we've waxed poetic over our favorite motorized shades, those from Lutron. Whether you choose from one of three Lutron shading control systems or any of the hundreds of styles and types, you can't go wrong with Lutron.

If you're a fan of sleek, minimal, and modern, you will likely gravitate to Lutron's Palladiom shading line. Keep reading below for stylish new options for Lutron Palladiom shades and controls, and visit us in our Marietta showroom to learn more about all of Lutron's solution for managing light in your home.

Do you have a favorite listening room in your house? The place where you have your turntable, CD player, or high-resolution music player pumping out high-octane music on your tower speakers? When you step out on your patio, don’t you miss that setup?

You can open the windows and blast the sound outside, but we don’t suggest that. There’s a better, easier, and gentler way to get your groove on while you’re outside in Dunwoody with an outdoor speaker system.

Outdoor speakers come in many styles and types for outdoor use. There are wall-mounted varieties, speakers that look like rocks to hide in plain sight in your gardens, buried subwoofers, bollards, and more. There has never been a better selection to get excellent sound outdoors, whether you have a small patio off of your high rise or a multi-acre spread.

One of the most popular outdoor speakers is the in-ceiling type. These are perfect for covered patio areas and can offer the kind of sound quality you have in your indoor listening room. Granted, you may not be able to achieve the same elevated audio you enjoy with your high-fidelity system, but we guarantee you can have an outdoor audio system that will provide hours of musical pleasure.

Lutron is the world leader in lighting control solutions in both residential and commercial markets. Unlike other companies constantly churning out new products every year, Lutron tends to take more time introducing new technology and products.

Does that mean Lutron isn't innovative? The company that invented the modern solid-state dimmer doesn't rest on its laurels. But it also recognizes that people expect lights to just work. No one needs fancy lighting scenes that don't work consistently or light switches that take a second to turn on a light. Lutron is all about reliable, simple, fast operation. When you invest in a lighting control system for your Woodstock, GA home, you’re going to have it for years, and it has to work all the time.

Indeed, the company’s popular RadioRA 2 system was around for many years. A system that could manage medium to very large homes, it was a popular and rock-solid solution. But now there’s a new, upgraded system, Lutron RadioRA 3. Why is it a big deal to Lutron dealers and technology integrators like GHT Group? Find out more by reading below. 

Early 2020 has proven a confusing time. Threats of the COVID-19 virus has kept many of us inside our homes. On the flip side, spring is finally here, and our thoughts are turning to warmer weather and outside activities; for many of us, the end of the cold season is the one light at the end of the tunnel. Why not take advantage of the warmer weather and avoid cabin fever by transferring your entertainment outdoors?

Since we are blessed with a relatively mild climate in the Metro Atlanta area, we get to use our outdoor patios, yards, and pools much more than our neighbors to the north. And because of that, we can plan more activities outdoors. But sometimes, our indoor entertainment beckons us to stay inside -- but it doesn't have to be that way.

Check out our original post about this Stealth Acoustics line here.

We have no solution for the sports events cancellations at the moment, but we do have an answer for taking your entertainment outside.

You can stream any artist you choose and enjoy music and wine outdoors on balmy summer evenings. And of course, you can do fun summer movie nights with family and friends.

We’re not talking about just any outdoor TV installation here. We’re talking about the next level in complete outdoor audio-visual entertainment – the Stealth Acoustics Patio Theater. Though we originally drafted most of this content a year ago, our recommendation for this entertainment suite still stands.

Have you had a home theater in your Buckhead, GA, home for many years? If so, you might be thinking about updating it. Like any other part of a home, home cinemas can get dated, not only in decor and style but also in technology. Sometimes, the way you use a theater might change, too; today, it is a media entertainment hub for much more than movies. 

If you’re considering a home theater remodel, here are five ways to make it up-to-date for all your entertainment enjoyment. 

It’s April, the taxes are done, the weather in Atlanta is comfortably warm, and our thoughts are turning to the outdoors. Of course, it’s also a time when we want to spruce up our outside areas as well. We’ll uncover the patio furniture, plan for the landscapers to plant annuals, prune the rose bushes, mulch the beds, and get the patios power-washed. When it's all cleaned up and ready, we admire the result and think of what else might make the outside spaces even more inviting.

Chances are you have an outdoor grill on your patio, and perhaps it’s built-in. Maybe you have an outdoor kitchen. If not, now is the perfect time to install one just in time for summer barbecue season. Are you thinking about a swimming pool to beat the humid Georgia heat? There’s still time before summer hits.

Regardless of what improvements you have planned for your outdoor living spaces, you should consider one upgrade that will enhance any of your activities - adding music. With an outdoor speaker system in your Roswell-area patio, you will make all your swimming, lounging, sunning, entertaining and grilling activities that much more enjoyable.

Read on for some ideas to enhance your outdoor space - and if you already have outdoor audio, you may want to upgrade it!

This world is fueled by software innovation. Software makes our computers, smartphones, tablets, cars, and smart homes do more things faster and better. One thing you don’t want in a software-driven world? Static software with infrequent updates. 

You might think – as you wait patiently for your latest Windows or Mac update to finish installing on your computer – doesn’t every company update their software? Unfortunately, some software gets updated and enhanced a lot more than others. Control4, a premier smart home platform, understands this. They’re constantly upgrading their system with new features and updates, large and small. 

In this blog, we'd like to point out some nifty new updates that make managing the Control4 system in your Suwanee, GA home easier. If you have both an iPhone and Apple Watch, keep reading below!
