Home Cinema Leaders Showcase a Scalable Vision for Luxury Home Cinema at CEDIA Expo 2026

ASCENDO, AcustiMOD, Christie, madVR Labs, Moovia, Seymour-Screen Excellence, and StormAudio demonstrate how premium home theater technologies scale across a broad range of luxury residential projects.

DENVER, Colo. — August 12, 2026 — Following last year’s showcase of an ultra-high-end $1M private cinema, ASCENDO, AcustiMOD, Christie, madVR Labs, Moovia, Seymour-Screen Excellence, and StormAudio return to CEDIA Expo 2026 in Sound Room 10 (SR10) with a different objective: to demonstrate how integrators can deliver exceptional home theater experiences across a broad range of luxury residential projects.

 

Rather than exploring the upper limits of residential cinema, this year’s demonstration highlights a scalable approach to system design. Every manufacturer partner in SR10 is recognized as a leader in its category, and the products selected for the demonstration illustrate how the same engineering philosophies that define flagship private cinemas can be applied to projects of varying sizes, room types, and investment levels.

 

“Last year, we won awards from AVS Forum, AV Nirvana, and ecoustics for the Best Demo/Home Theater at CEDIA Expo,” says Chris Seymour, founder of Seymour-Screen Excellence. “The show was widely lauded as the best home cinema demo at the show. Now, we’re challenging ourselves to recapture that cinematic magic with a system that’s four times less expensive than last year’s room. SR10 is still a luxury home cinema, but It’s going to be exciting to see what these top-tier brands can accomplish at this level.” 

 

SR10 System Highlights

The audio system will be a 9.8.4-channel home cinema system from ASCENDO Immersive Audio, AcustiMOD, and StormAudio.

 

ASCENDO will debut its new DSP4-6602 DSP/Amplifier, showcase THE 18 SUB PASSIVE VENTED, and unveil an exciting new audio innovation on day one of CEDIA Expo. 

 

Powering the immersive audio experience is StormAudio‘s receiver Fusion 20, combining reference-level surround processing and amplification into a single platform designed for premium residential theaters. 

 

AcustiMOD—built on the heritage of Officina Acustica—will outfit the room with a sophisticated modular acoustic architecture system that offers an engineered, repeatable approach, bringing the standards of bespoke acoustic design within reach across a wide range of budgets.

Stellar picture quality will be provided by a combination of the latest projection technology from Christie and Seymour-Screen Excellence. Christie projection technology reveals every detail with exceptional contrast, rich color, and striking 4K clarity, delivering an immersive cinematic experience that draws you into every scene.

Seymour-Screen Excellence’s reference Enlightor-Neo acoustically transparent multi-format patented screen is the only retractable screen with deep velvet borders and concealed tab-tensioning, no minimum seating distance, motorized masking, and integrated black backing.

 

The image processing will be handled by the award-winning madVR Envy Core MK2, which makes reference-grade video processing more accessible. Featuring patented HDR dynamic tone mapping, full HDMI 2.1 8K input support, AI-powered upscaling, Dynamic Subtitle  Overlay, and advanced screen masking automation, the Envy unlocks the full potential of every display.

 

Finally, Moovia, designed and manufactured in Germany and Europe, will show its Marbella media sofas for long-lasting audience comfort and style. This design is as at home in the cinema as it is in any other room of the home, offering designers, dealers, and clients something unique, with boundless customization options for the end user. The sofa is controlled by the sophisticated new Moovia app, streamlining control and automation for integrators and their clients with a tactile new user interface.
