For many clients in New York City, creating their dream home includes high-end home audio—a system that delivers high-fidelity sound without marring their home’s design. They want music and surround sound in every room and outdoor space without bulky equipment or multiple remotes. They want luxurious ease of living.
Let’s explore the options and the latest trends in home audio.

The Listening Room Vs. High-End Whole-Home Audio
As you’ve probably noticed, there’s been a resurgence in the desire for audiophile-quality listening rooms. These clients want a space where they lose themselves in the moment, a room that offers concert-quality acoustics and a realistic soundstage. In these rooms, we incorporate high-fidelity loudspeakers, preamplifiers and amplifiers, acoustic treatments, and soft furnishings. The result is dynamic, high-end audio replicating the sound as it was originally recorded.
Then, there are those that want to experience high-performance audio throughout their entire home. To answer this increasing demand, leading audio manufacturers developed high-fidelity architectural speakers designed to disappear in walls and ceilings.
At Cravtsman, we partner with numerous industry leaders, ensuring your clients receive the exact home entertainment they desire. A few of these brands synonymous with luxury sound include Bowers & Wilkins, James Loudspeaker, Meridian, and Sonance.
The Speakers
Invisible or small-aperture speakers are installed throughout the home, in walls and ceilings, and calibrated. In collaboration with your design team, we’ll ensure the speakers are strategically placed and concealed.
Invisible speakers are finished over with the same material that surrounds them. Small aperture speakers sit flush against the wall or ceiling and possess very small sound apertures. The result is breathtaking music emanating throughout the home without a visual footprint.
This placement is also based on your client’s vision. For instance, some want Dolby Atmos surround sound in their open-concept living room or media room. Others want the ability to play their favorite music in the garage and when they shower. Every system is customized to meet you and your client's exact requirements.
Maintaining Your Beautiful Design
Homeowners can effortlessly enjoy their favorite media with one touch on a high-resolution touchscreen or remote. They select the room or entire home and the audio source, whether vinyl, streaming playlists, or their digital music collection. The equipment is tucked away in a custom AV closet, and the audio signals are distributed to every speaker.
As a leading AV company and home automation integrator in New York, we hold ourselves to exceptionally high standards.
