Here at TV Magic, we can build you a home cinema from $25k to $1.5mil (Sydney Project - Celebrity). As for many of the higher-end price tag jobs; we cannot disclose/ showcase any photos as the celebrities/ famous people who we did the jobs for made us sign a confidentiality agreement. As for the other jobs; the home cinemas under $150,000; we did these for regular mums and dads /residential properties.

Now because we know you're probably going to ask.. we'll jump right in.. The question we get asked all the time - "How much do I actually need to build a 'decent' home cinema? The answer is - "You get what you pay for, but the sweet spot (for a THX Certified Home Cinema) is $45k -$80k.

From $45,000 you can get a laser projector, proper sound proofing, a proper screen (not an ebay one), some entry level professional speakers, dolby atmos system, a decent amp, a decent 'pre-amp', a team of 2-3 techs for 5-7 days (OR AS REQUIRED), professional audio calibration (with thx certification) and a turn-key solution that's going to impress you and your family for a decade to come. For the $25,000 - $45,000 range; now we're talking a pretty decent system too - you're just not going to have much change left over for aesthetics, furniture, lighting, carpet, paint and all the finishing touches. You can get a decent Dolby Atmos system but forget about having a "THX Cinema". As for anything under $25,000 we're talking about the A.V gear only and we're talking about a package that you'd acquire from your local Hi Fi store; something you could just walk in and get off the street. A job like this is installed in under a day, it may look good and sound good to you; but it's hardly going to make your local cinemas jealous.

That's not to say that if it's installed by TV Magic that it won't be impressive. It certainly will!

We'll definitely make your buck go further, provide a professional audio and screen calibration and you'll get the results from a cheaper system that a poorly installed $150k system would provide. Just contact us here for a quote for your home cinema needs.
