CinemaTech Opens A New Florida Showroom: Luxury Home Theater Design Featuring Sony and Wisdom Audio
Posted on September 12, 2024 by Phil Jones
Founded in 1998, CinemaTech has carved out a reputation as a leader in luxury home theater design. For homeowners and home theater enthusiasts who seek to create a space where luxury meets cutting-edge technology, Cinematech offers an unparalleled experience.
Cinematech's first product was the Valentino theater seat, which offered a blend of ergonomic design and aesthetic appeal, which set a new standard for home theater seating. As the demand for high-end home theaters grew, Cinematech added additional seating to their lineup, including models like the Act II Sofas and the Estrella Sofa, which combines luxury materials with cutting-edge engineering to offer seating that was both comfortable and visually striking.
CinemaTech can custom make seating to fit any theater, media room, or living space
These seats are meticulously crafted, with each piece tailored to meet the specific preferences of the client. From the choice of premium leathers to the intricate stitching and ergonomic designs, every detail of Cinematech’s seating is engineered for both aesthetic appeal and long-lasting comfort.
Each piece of seating is handcrafted to the client's specifications, ensuring that every detail—from the choice of leather to the stitching pattern—meets the highest standards of luxury and comfort. While a few pieces are built in the USA, most Cinematech seating is still built in their original factory in Germany, ensuring the highest quality.
The company has now expanded beyond custom seating and now offers acoustical treatments and bespoke design services. Cinematech’s acoustic treatments became equally renowned, designed to optimize sound quality by controlling room acoustics and eliminating unwanted noise, ensuring that every home theater provided an immersive audio experience.
The Cinematech line of Acoustic Room System (ARS) is a combination of custom wall panels, bass traps, and diffusers to optimize the acoustic properties of any space, ensuring that every note and sound effect is heard with clarity and precision.
Cinematech works closely with clients to create a home theater tailored to their specific tastes and needs. This process includes everything from selecting the right seating and acoustic treatments to designing custom cabinetry and choosing the perfect lighting.
Cinematech's bespoke design services are where the company truly shines. Their attention to detail ensures that every Cinematech-designed home theater looks stunning and delivers an unparalleled audio-visual experience.
CinemaTech offer custom room desigh that includes seating and acoustic room treatments
In 2008, Cinematech developed its Design Service Program, which allows clients to visualize their home theaters through detailed 2D CAD drawings and photorealistic 3D renderings. This ensures that every aspect of the theater meets the client’s exact specifications before construction begins.
Cinematech’s design services go beyond the products themselves, offering a personalized experience that starts with the initial consultation and continues through to the final installation. Their Design Service Program is a standout offering, allowing clients to visualize exactly how their home theater will look and function, making adjustments as needed, to ensure the final product is perfect.
The goal is to deliver a high-quality home entertainment experience while integrating seamlessly into a client’s lifestyle. The result is a home theater that is as unique as the homeowner and as functional as it is beautiful. This level of customization is a hallmark of Cinematech’s approach, ensuring that each home theater is functional and reflects the client’s personal style and preferences.
This innovation sets Cinematech apart from its competitors and reinforced its position as a leader in custom home theater design.
CinemaTech Design Centers in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Fort Lauderdale
For those looking to experience Cinematech’s offerings firsthand, the company has Design Centers in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Fort Lauderdale. These spaces are more than just showrooms, they are immersive environments that allow clients to experience the pinnacle of home theater design. These Centers serve as a testament to Cinematech's commitment to excellence, offering a hands-on opportunity for clients to explore the company's full range of products and services. The Design Centers showcase the full range of Cinematech’s products and services, allowing clients to see, touch, and hear the quality that sets Cinematech apart.

Visitors can expect to find a carefully curated selection of Cinematech’s custom theater seating, along with full demonstrations of their Acoustic Room System treatments. The Design Center also features a range of state of the art Sony BRAVIA video displays, highlighting the deep collaboration between Cinematech and Sony.
Since these spaces are focused on design-conscious homeowners who want their home theaters to be both functional and visually stunning, each Center emphasizes the aesthetic side of home theater design, showcasing how Cinematech’s products can be seamlessly integrated into luxury homes.
Each space in the Fort Lauderdale Experience Center highlighted a wide range of products
We had the opportunity to explore CinemaTech's newly updated Design Center in Fort Lauderdale, which caters to the sophisticated tastes of South Florida’s luxury homeowners. In addition to several Sony OLED and Mini LED TVs, visitors also have the unique opportunity to experience some of the most advanced video displays available today. These include Sony’s flagship GTZ380 4K SXRD projector, a massive 200-inch Crystal LED (CLED) video wall system, and a newly announced 4K SXRD Home Theater projector called the BRAVIA Projector 9 which I talk about in more detail below.
These state-of-the-art technologies are integrated into the Design Center’s theater and main entertainment areas, showcasing the cutting edge of home entertainment innovation.
Sony BRAVIA Projector 9 (VPL-XW8100): Advanced Video Processing Delivers Class Leading Picture Quality
Let's talk about the products that were in the Design Center starting with the most notable Sony display systems.
I had the chance to see one of the newest additions to Sony's 4K Projector lineup, the BRAVIA Projector 9 (VPL-XW8100), which replaces the award-winning VPL-XW7000ES. The previous model delivered one of the best-looking HDR images I have ever seen.
In addition, Sony was nice enough to allow me to spend a few weeks evaluating the BRAVIA Projector 8 which replaces the VPL-XW6000ES. The full review for this model will be posted soon, but I can tell you that I was incredibly impressed with the picture quality of the BRAVIA Projector 8.
The CinemaTech event was the first time I saw the BRAVIA Projector 9. Based on my limited experience with the new model, the HDR performance is noticeably better than the XW7000ES. Both the BRAVIA Projector 8 and BRAVIA Projector 9 projectors utilize Sony’s new XR Processor, a significant leap forward from the X1 Ultimate processor. While the older X1 processor delivers excellent-looking SDR and HDR images, the XR Processor adds new features and technologies that greatly enhance picture quality.

Sony GTZ380 Projector: Unmatched Visual Performance
They also had the Sony VPL-GTZ380 in the Design Center, which is a 4K SXRD laser projector that stands out as one of the most powerful home theater projectors on the market. This projector is designed for those who demand the highest levels of image quality and brightness in their home theater. It delivers stunning 4K resolution with HDR (High Dynamic Range) support, ensuring that every scene is displayed with incredible clarity, color accuracy, and contrast.
One of the key features of the GTZ380 is its ability to produce 10,000 lumens of brightness, which makes it suitable for both dark and ambient light environments.
This level of brightness, combined with Sony’s advanced Triluminos technology, allows the GTZ380 to render vibrant colors and deep blacks, providing a truly immersive viewing experience. Whether you’re watching the latest blockbuster or a classic film, the GTZ380 ensures that every detail is visible and every color pops. The GTZ380 is the centerpiece of the dedicated theater space, which includes a 220” Screen Innovation acoustic transparent screen. This flagship projector demonstrates how top-tier technology can transform a home theater into a reference level private cinema.
Sony Crystal LED (CLED): The Future of Home Entertainment
In the great room space of the Fort Lauderdale Design Center, visitors can experience the unparalleled visual quality of a 200-inch Sony Crystal LED (CLED) video wall system. CLED technology represents the next generation of display technology, offering stunning visual performance with a modular design that allows for nearly any screen size and aspect ratio.
Sony’s CLED panels deliver 4K resolution with a pixel pitch of just 1.26mm, providing incredibly sharp images with deep blacks and a wide color gamut. The result is a display that offers unparalleled clarity, even at close viewing distances.
CLED technology is particularly well-suited for large, immersive displays, making it ideal for home entertainment areas where a seamless, high-resolution image is crucial. The integration of CLED in the Fort Lauderdale Design Center’s main entertainment area exemplifies how this technology can create stunning visual environments. Whether used for watching movies, hosting events, or displaying art, the CLED system offers a level of versatility and performance that is unmatched by traditional displays.
The combination of the Sony GTZ380 projector and the CLED video wall system in CinemaTech’s Fort Lauderdale Design Center highlights its commitment to providing its clients with the most advanced display technologies. These technologies enhance the visual experience and set a new standard for what is possible in luxury home entertainment.
Wisdom Audio Speaker: Ultra High-Performance Sound That Blends Seamlessly Into Any Space
Wisdom Audio is another key partner known for its high-performance loudspeaker systems designed to deliver exceptional sound quality in any environment. Wisdom Audio’s Sage and Wisdom Series speakers are engineered to provide precise, powerful sound, making them ideal for Cinematech’s custom theater designs.
These speakers are built using planar magnetic technology, which produces a level of clarity and detail that is unmatched by conventional speaker designs. Wisdom Audio’s products are also highly customizable, allowing them to be tailored to each theater's specific acoustic requirements.
This flexibility ensures that every CinemaTech theater not only looks stunning but also delivers an audio experience that rivals the best commercial cinemas. These speakers are not only technically advanced but also visually discreet, fitting seamlessly into the elegant environments that CinemaTech creates.
While the speakers and amplification were Wisdom Audio, the surround sound processing was handled by a Sony STR-AZ7000ES AV Receiver. The receiver fed the Wisdom Audio amplifiers signals via its multi-channel pre-outs. In addition to the theater, Wisdom Audio sound systems were discretely hidden in the other spaces, and they delivered outstanding sound quality.
The collaboration between CinemaTech, Sony, and Wisdom Audio exemplifies the company’s commitment to offering the very best in home theater design. By partnering with these industry leaders, CinemaTech ensures that its clients have access to the latest innovations in audio and visual technology, seamlessly integrated into a luxurious and personalized home theater environment.
