In a world of countless products and seemingly endless options in the technology world, one of the roles we take as a Custom Integrator is that of a “curator,” to find the very best products and solutions for our clients. Defining a “best-in-class” product doesn’t mean the most expensive, but rather that it provides the most value. We might rank a product based on its quality, the aesthetic design of the product, how it integrates into a home automation system, how reliable it is, how easy it is to install or service, how it affects your home network, and of course, the products true cost of ownership.

One of our most trusted and recommended brands is Triad Speakers.
