AV Upgrades & System Replacement
When gear is end-of-life, HDMI won’t handshake, or your control system has been limping for years - we design a clean path forward: better reliability, simpler daily use, and performance that matches how you watch and listen today.

Many homes still run AV that was excellent a decade ago but now struggles with 4K and HDR , streaming apps , voice assistants , and modern HDMI . Sometimes equipment fails outright; other times it “works” until one more firmware update or a new Apple TV exposes weak links in the chain. Stereo Types audits what you have, what’s worth keeping, and what should be replaced - then we integrate everything so one remote or app actually controls the room.
We routinely specify and install leading brands trusted on stereotypes.tech projects - including Crestron , Savant , Control4 , Lutron , Sony , Samsung , Sonos , Sonance , Paradigm , Bowers & Wilkins , McIntosh , StormAudio , and Digital Projection - matched to your budget, architecture, and how hard you push picture and sound.
Upgrade Paths We Deliver
Theater & Projection Refresh
Replace aging projectors and processors, fix HDMI 2.1 bottlenecks, and tune speakers for Dolby Atmos® and today’s sources. We preserve acoustic investments where they still perform and swap only what’s holding you back.

One room, too many remotes, sound that never felt right? We simplify inputs, calibrate display and surround, and hide gear properly - whether you’re on Sony or Samsung video and a new AVR or separates stack.

Move off obsolete touchpanels and flaky DIY bridges to Crestron , Savant , or Control4 with scenes that family members actually use - “Movie Night,” “Music Everywhere,” “Away” - without losing lighting or shade coordination.

Buffering, dropped calls, and HDMI extenders that hate each other often trace back to Wi‑Fi and switching. We rebuild the foundation so upgraded AV performs reliably - especially with rack-mounted gear and distributed video.

Not everything needs a teardown. We troubleshoot failed amps, bad wiring paths, and firmware dead-ends - then sequence replacements so you’re never stuck without a working TV during the holidays.

If you’re happy with two-channel stereo and a Blu-ray player, maybe not. If you want reliable 4K HDR pass-through, modern HDMI, streaming apps, and voice or app control, older AVRs often become the bottleneck - and they’re usually the first piece we replace while keeping speakers that still measure well.
Often yes. Wireless extensions, HDMI fiber alternatives, eARC strategies, and selective wire pulls can solve a lot. When walls must open, we’ll tell you upfront why - and phase work so disruption stays predictable.
In many cases we can refresh programming, replace end-of-life processors or interfaces, and document what’s in the rack - whether you stay on the same platform or migrate. Bring photos of the equipment list if you have them; we’ll verify on site.
We’ll prioritize what restores daily enjoyment first - usually the display path and control - then audio and networking. You’ll get a roadmap so each phase builds on the last instead of painting yourself into a compatibility corner.
Tell us what’s broken or frustrating - HDMI dropouts, dead zones, app overload, or gear you can’t get serviced anymore. We’ll schedule a consultation, review your space and rack, and propose options across brands and price bands that fit how you actually use the house.
