All the rage these days is having your own home theater system. You don't need to go to the movie theater, music concert or anything of that nature. Purchase everything on DVD or BluRay and watch from the comfort of your own home.
I was looking at our nice little set up. Very standard actually, we had a television, VCR, DVD and a game system. My significant other and our children wanted more. I called the local TV installation company in Toronto to see what their suggestions would be for upgrading. They said if I found a system that I thought I would enjoy that they would be happy to install it.
So it was off to the local electronics store. The salesman was very happy to help. He then led me through various in store set ups so I could get the feel for a home theater experience. I loved them all. You truly feel like you are sitting in a real theater.
The salesman pointed that it would be best to have someone install one of these systems for me. Their service department was back logged and charged quite a bit more for installation than the Home Theater and TV installation company I had already spoken with. I assured the salesman I had that part under control. I chose the smaller set up, since we had a small living room.
I paid for the purchase and scheduled delivery. When I got home, I informed the family that we would have our own home theater system delivered by the end of the week. I told my significant other we would need to schedule for installation with the Toronto TV installation company, for the day of or day after delivery. We agreed the day after would be best. One never knows exactly what time a delivery company will arrive until they get to your home. All appointments were scheduled.
We waited all week with bated breath for our new home theater to be delivered. There were so many boxes brought into the house. The delivery men had a small problem with directions. Which was a scary thought as they were also part of the electronics store's installation team; they set the boxes down in the foyer instead of in the living room.
Then insisted that they were there to install the system, I explained very nicely that we had the Toronto TV installation crew on their way out because I had been told that the electronics store did not have the time. They took their gruff selves out the door.
Finally the Toronto TV installation crew showed up and within an hour we were set up to party with the best of them. Speakers around the room, new plasma screen television, new stereo and more. It was a sight to behold. We had invited friends over for the evening to have a movie night party. We had an absolute blast and planned for a weekly movie night party.
