At the heart of the East Paris Son-Vidéo.com store (Champigny-sur-Marne), three home theater rooms welcome you to enjoy exceptional home theater experiences. Each room caters to different needs, requirements and budgets. From a real private cinema to a system entirely concealed in the walls and ceilings, to a home theater that can simply be installed in the living room, you are sure to find the solution that suits you best. Over the next few months, we invite you to discover the smallest details of each room. For this first installment, let’s discover the Emmy Awards room which is an ideal introduction to the world of home theater.
A home theater system like the one at home
The Emmy Awards room at Son-Vidéo.com’s East Paris store is based on affordable equipment that can be directly integrated into the living room. It has the advantage of offering an experience like you would have in your favorite room. In this room, the walls are bare and without complex acoustic treatment, like in a real living room. There are no dampers, absorbers, bass traps or isolating coatings to correct the sound diffusion.
The equipment in the Emmy Awards room is designed to adapt to and work in any living room from 15 to 45m2. The results delivered by the two home theater systems on display are as close as possible to those you will obtain at home. You can directly imagine and perceive the real result that you will have at home by opting for a similar home theater system.
Two home theater speaker systems
Comfortably installed in the armchairs of the Emmy Awards room, you will be able to discover and compare two distinct home theater systems. The first is above all designed to be as discreet as possible, like something you would have in your own living room. For a budget of approximately €1,800, it consists of the following elements:
- Elipson Planet M 5.1 speaker pack
- Elipson Planet Sub subwoofer
These speakers were chosen for their ability to ideally combine visual discretion and sound quality. They can be placed on living room furniture, but can also be installed on dedicated feet, fixed to the wall or ceiling to adapt perfectly to your needs and the configuration of your living room.
For larger living rooms up to 45m2, the Emmy Awards room also allows you to discover a Klipsch speaker system. The speakers of the famous American manufacturer are recognized for their dynamics and their energy in home theater. In this room, the following models can be listened to:
- Klipsch RP-806F Dolby Atmos floorstanding speakers
- Klipsch RP-504C Center Speaker
- Klipsch RP-502S surround speaker
- Klipsch RP-500SA Atmos wall speakers
- Klipsch R-100SW subwoofer
This Klipsch set for a budget of around €4000 allows you to enjoy an enveloping sound, with a minimum of speakers in the room. The floorstanding speakers have the particularity of featuring two drivers on their upper panel for the reproduction of Dolby Atmos effects by reflection off the ceiling. So you won’t have to drill into the ceiling to install speakers.
A large 4K UHD picture
The Emmy Awards room also honors large-screen projection with two UHD 4K projector models at less than €2,600. You will be able to appreciate the difference between two bestsellers and enjoy very large images with rich and vibrant colors, even if your room is partially lit. This projection is carried out with the following equipment:
- Epson EH-TW7100 4K UHD projector
- BenQ W5700 UHD 4K HDR projector
- Lumene Movie Palace UHD 4K/8K Platinum 240C projection screen
Quality sources
The home theater experience of the Emmy Awards room is provided through an extensive collection of Blu-rays played on the latest 4K Blu-ray players. You can find the greatest classics and the best Hollywood productions. Do you want to watch something in particular? Do not hesitate to come with the Blu-ray of your favorite film to test the following players:
- A Panasonic DP-UB820 Blu-ray player
- Sony UBP-X700 Blu-ray player
To accommodate the different sources and make the most of each speaker pack, the Emmy Awards home theater room features two A/V receivers:
- Marantz SR-5015 7.2 AV receiver
- Denon AVR-X2700H 7.2 AV receiver
These two 7.2 channel models priced at around €1000 are compatible with 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. They support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X spatial audio. Their output power is ideal for powering the two available speaker packs in a room of 15 to 45m2.
With a simple setup and accessible elements, the Emmy Awards cinema room is ideal for building your first home theater installation. It allows you to discover the possibilities of a cinema in the living room and to make your choice easily.
