Gone are the days were every self-respecting New Zealand household would have a vinyl library sitting there ready to show off to any potential visitors. Whenever a new person would walk into your home for the first time, they would inevitably be drawn to your collection, making comments on your taste (or lack off;-)). It was a sure way to measure up people and a very effective conversation starter for that matter.  These days, while some of us have not given up on the vinyl or CD collection, for a lot of us, our music collection is to be found on your PC. Be it as a subscription service like TIDAL or Spotify or stored on your NAS.  This new way of accessing music gave birth to a new hi-fi component: The Network Audio player or streamer.

Lately, some Ultra Short Throw projectors have entered the home theatre projector market. We at Rapallo think this is something to be excited about. This is because it opens the option of having a projector to people who previously simply did not have that choice because of the area where they have their home theatre set-up.So, the logical question to follow is: what is a (Ultra) Short Throw projector and why could it be the cats meow for you?

We know our blog readers like having a peek at other people’s set-ups. So far, we have tried to offer a variety of lay-outs and budgets, but the bottom-line has been that it was AV applications in people’s private homes. But that’s not where Rapallo installations stop. We have been dealing with a wide variety of  AV installations in businesses too. From shop outfits, to B&B’s, to restaurants. Earlier this year, we completed a large commercial AV  installation at FlexiGroup.
