Your Savant Installer in Phoenix

Both Control4 and Savant make operating your home's technology as easy as possible.  That's kind of the whole point.

With that said, they are not for everyone.  Amp AV is not trying to push a sale of a control system for the sake of installing the system.  Rather, there must first be a need in which a home automation system is the clear solution.

Control4 has the ability to integrate seamlessly with Josh AI, which is another incredible system in itself.  Josh AI is an intuitive voice control system, which heavily emphasizes that the end user's data is not sold or shared.

Savant does not support Josh AI integration at this time.  *Updated Q4 2022—Not guaranteed for accuracy

Savant, gives the end user the ability to easily create scenes that can include lights, fans, shades, climate, TV, music, and more.  These scenes are easy to edit after they are created as well.

Control4, however, focuses primarily on lighting when it comes to creating and editing scenes within its user interface.  This adds extra steps to activate the additional sub-systems within the Control4 connected home.  *Updated Q4 2022—Not guaranteed for accuracy

When we meet with you either in your home or at the Amp AV showroom, we'll be able to narrow down the specifics of your home's needs.  Sometimes one platform or the other will have a more cost-effective solution for a particular application. 

The most likely reason for this is that the equipment was not specified correctly, or not deployed correctly.  Let us get to the bottom of what's going on and provide you with a solution to maximize your system's potential.

Another common reason for this sentiment is when another integrator pushed a sale of equipment that was overkill for the customer's actual needs.  In such a case, the system is more complicated than it needs to be. 

At Amp AV, we focus on providing value.  This means that you get the most out of your technology and it really does make your life more enjoyable through ease of use.   We design our systems correctly and expertly install them.  Your life is made simpler, not more complicated.

If these home automation platforms don't suit your needs, we'll determine the correct way forward so that you can enjoy your home entertainment, and other aspects of the home technology, the way you desire.

Yes they can.

Older speakers eventually break down as the rubber surrounding the speaker cone dries out and tears.  Sometimes the cone itself becomes brittle or tattered.

Yellowed plastic bezels are a horrible eyesore.  More modern speakers grilles are either all metal, or have an ultra-thin bezel resistance to yellowing.

As long as the speaker is replaced with one of equal or greater diameter, it's a very straightforward process to swap them out.  Contact Amp AV for a quote!

As great as the Sonos platform is, it has a shorter lifespan than speakers that are built into the home.  In 2019, Sonos released its S2 mobile application for their newer generation of devices and restricted older, legacy devices to the S1 application.  This meant that old and new Sonos products could no longer reside within the same whole-home system.

The point is that wireless speakers like Sonos will change with time and eventually become obsolete.  Meanwhile, there are homes with 15-25 year old architectural speakers (in-wall or in-ceiling speakers) that are still going strong.

Aside from avoiding having your system mothballed, built-in speakers are less of an eyesore than wireless speakers and sound more proportional to large, open-concept home layouts.
