The future is now! Or rather, the future is on its way. If the future was now, then we'd call it the present. Regardless, Sound & Vision's best minds have gazed into their technological crystal balls and have plenty of news about what's on the way to the world of A/V.

The project to transform my empty basement into The Ultimate Man Cave took about 8-months. The theme is "Transportation" and all of the artwork and dcor is based on planes, trains, antique cars, motorcycles, etc. We turned approximately 1400 sq. ft. into a large media room/game room/pool room with a dedicated workout area, home office, wine room and storage/AV Room. There is also a full bath and wet bar.

On the other hand, I admit that I'm not up on the latest technology.
