The biggest drawback of most A/V gear is that it is ugly. We hide it. From closets and sideboards to cabinets and armoires, the average home offers a number of great places to stow A/V gear. Provided a closet isn't too far out of the way for day-to-day access, all of the gear is placed there while a single remote controls the system from anywhere in the house.

Hiding speakers is our specialty, and there are many places to do so without impacting sound quality. We hide speakers in plants outside, or in heat registers, air ducts and radiator grills. We even hide speakers in plain site, as art prints hung on the wall.

Ceiling speakers (flush-mounted) are a common way to minimize visual impact of a speaker. Wall flush-mounting, though less preferable, can be attractive and efficient.
