“The Home Cinema Demonstration Rooms are a Must See!”
There’s three golden words when it comes to buying any home cinema equipment: “demonstrate, demonstrate, demonstrate”…. Just as everyone’s DNA and fingerprints are different, so is how we hear and interpret sounds. No two people will hear identical audio characteristics from a particular AV receiver nor from the same speakers. What sounds harsh to one person can sound delightful to another. Likewise with visuals, some people will see “rainbows” in DLP projectors while others will not and that’s why a home cinema demonstration at Ideal AV is such an important part of your buying process.
The latest award winners from the Hi-Fi magazines can never tell you how something will sound or look to you. The reviewers can only subjectively say how the equipment sounds to them. To know what works for you is to “demonstrate, demonstrate, demonstrate” and then demonstrate again. A home cinema demonstration is simply not an option; it’s a critical step.
An Ideal AV home cinema demonstration is completely free and you’ll learn more in a couple of hours than countless days of opinion based internet research. It’ll be the best money that you never spent….

“Demonstrate, Demonstrate, Demonstrate”
The Kettle is Always on, Slippers are Optional
In order to make an informed decision on what’s best for you and your room we feel its important to come, see and hear the products before purchasing. The last thing we want is to buy equipment which doesn’t perform as you expected. Its always best to see, hear and touch the product for yourself first.
We welcome you to book a home cinema demonstration in a relaxed and friendly environment. No need to bring any money, our time is completely free.
Customers are welcome to bring a selection of their favourite Blu-ray movie discs if they wish to, but we do have a varied library of over 300 full high definition 1080p movies ourselves to browse through including 3D.
If you don’t mind viewing with others please let us know so we can arrange group visits to minimise interruptions; we want to keep all of our customers happy. Likewise, if you’d like to book a home cinema demonstration outside of normal hours, we will do our very best to accommodate requirements as and when needed. We always try to meet your needs as that’s what our customers deserve.
To cover all bases we have two distinct home cinema demonstration rooms. The Light Bright room which is designed to replicate everyday conditions in the normal lounge at home with lots of ambient light. The Dark room is for those with a dedicated room in “bat cave” conditions (completely light controlled). Whatever your environment, one of our home cinema demonstration rooms will be perfect.
The kettle is always on, slippers are optional but you have to bring your own.
