With this in mind, we’ll rate the latest innovations in whole-house sound systems that satisfy discriminating listeners without breaking the bank.
Expanding your sound system to cover every room in your home can be both enjoyable and affordable. The cost of a whole-home sound system has rapidly dropped over the past decade.
