Need a cure for the winter blues? Find sound medicine at the Ovation showroom in Carmel.
A new home theater isn’t just a great place to chill when the weather cools off—it’s an investment in year-round entertainment. The exciting Ovation showroom in Carmel offers an unmatched experience for those looking to customize their music and movie space with the best in high-performance audio/video. So grab a bottle of Coca-Cola Classic (they’ll offer you one when you get there), spin your favorite tunes on the retro jukebox, and maybe even play a few rounds on the vintage Beatlemania pinball machine. After that, lounge, listen and look around—you’ll surely warm up to something.
For more than 30 years, the trusted Ovation name has been synonymous with high-end audio/video equipment throughout the Indianapolis area. The new Ovation showroom, which opened in 2020, co-located within John Kirk Furniture, is the area’s premier home theater destination, offering end-to-end services from retail upgrades to fully customized systems. The expansive space features an impressive video wall, multiple living room-esque vignettes showcasing different audio and home theatre systems, and an ultra-high performance listening room, as well as the enclosed Atmos BTS theater—their top-of-the-line Klipsch system made for Regal Cinemas. “It’s something everyone needs to experience,” says Chris Cruzan, the company’s COO, who was a driving force behind the design and build out of the new Carmel space. “This show room at Ovation is for people to make informed decisions on how best to spend their money when it comes to electronics and home entertainment solutions,” he adds.
According to Cruzan and the tight-knit team of custom audio/video industry veterans at Ovation, high quality surround sound should be prioritized in every home theater design. “It doesn't matter whether you're watching a series on Netflix or a Marvel movie—the sound is what actually gets you involved,” says Cruzan, explaining that 70% of what you hear in a movie comes out of the center channel, while the rest of the speakers act to simulate motion corresponding to what you are seeing visually. Ovation offers a wide range of big screen TVs and home theater systems that not only sound amazing, but are all on display for you to listen, watch and compare. |
