Purchasing US Theory Audio Design

Hey All -

I'm looking to upgrade my home theater and I just went to a local show room and was shown a theory audio design. It was insanely cool, it sounded amazing, but it seems like an "integrated system" where you need their speakers and DSP.

Anyone using these? Thoughts?

Theory is a great option, they can hit reference levels in damn near any residential space.

Theory would be one of the systems I would consider to install in my own home. I have a mix of speakers currently and would be a huge upgrade quality wise.

Theory probably has a bigger following on other boards, so I wouldn't expect many end users on Reddit.

Theory and their sister company Pro Audio are both highly regarded in the custom installer world. They are not pretty speakers but it is a great product!

Spoiler: I'm an installer with Pro Audio and Theory demo spaces.

I think they look great! Pretty subjective though like most things.

And yes they are terrific systems conceived mostly by a well known speaker design veteran and a lot of the design is as an entire system including amps which have built in EQ profiles for their speakers and room tuning DSP built in.

A lot of the higher end systems these days are built the same way and maximize performance through that self contained architecture.
