About AV Integrated

AV Integrated is owned and operated by Paul Vail who has almost a decade of work in the high end residential and commercial installation, design, and development market for audio/visual systems.  This includes homes in Potomac Maryland which feature over $500,000 worth of technology in the home as well as government command and control centers which cost more than a million dollars for a single room.

The basic home theater is smaller, but is still a major undertaking, and if your budget allows for an incredible $100,000 theater, or if it only affords you a few thousand dollar setup.

Can I see some photos?

One button touch and the screen drops from the ceiling, yet disappears completely when done.

The touchpanel gives one touch access to almost every function in the room, or the entire home.
