"Krix Home Theater: Small Room, Big Impact"

'Krix nearly didn’t get their home theater demo off the ground at Capital Audiofest 2025—the assigned room turned out to be smaller than expected. But ... the DreamScapes A/V team pulled off a minor miracle, fitting a full 11.6.6-channel system (~$200K) into the space, complete with two massive 18-inch infrasonic subwoofers tucked behind the rear seats and four more behind the 120-inch Stewart Filmscreen Harmony G3 screen."

"With gear filling the walls and seating limited to six, the setup used an Epson QL7000 projector ($35K) provided by Luxury Distribution with a madVR Envy Core Mk1 video processor ($4,995), Kaleidescape Strato V source ($4,500), ten Benchmark AHB2 amps, and a Storm Audio ISP Elite 24 MK3 surround processor. ($26k)"

"The system delivered serious punch and clarity."

"During the car chase and gunfight sequence from No Time to Die, the Krix setup managed to convey the intensity and scale of a far larger theater—tight, immersive, and controlled. Proof that with the right engineering and setup, even a small room can deliver big-cinema energy."
