Whether you are a dad, have a dad, know a dad or are married to a dad, odds are there’s some sort of a Farther in your life somewhere. And odds are that Father would really enjoy having their home theater tricked out for Father’s Day this year. If you’re wondering what you should gift, here are a few of the items on our wish lists. Classic Movie Posters $10 - $17K What theater would be complete without movie posters? MoviePoster.com sells original as well as reprints of just about every major movie out there. Some are really inexpensive. Find out what your father’s favorite movie is and surprise him with something to make his home theater a little bit more authentic! SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System $50 We all want a tighter low end! And for $50 SVS will give that to you. The SVS Subwoofer Isolation System are screw-in elastomer feet that decouple your subwoofer from the floor to eliminate room rattle and provide cleaner, tighter bass. And you don’t need an SVS subwoofer either. They work with almost all subwoofer brands and sizes. Hue Bloom Lights $60 per light. Add $60 more for a bridge if you don’t have hue lights. Use the bloom lights to create stunning indirect lighting to highlight furniture, art, or create bias lighting behind your TV. A bit on the expensive side but so very cool!! Custom Acoustic Panels $60 and Up This is a gift that has both form and function. Sometimes getting the most out of your audio is not necessarily about upgrading your equipment. Acoustic panels reduce or eliminate sound waves that bounce off walls and interfere with the sound coming from the speakers. When done right, acoustic panels will improve the audio of your current equipment without spending a ton of money. With custom panels you can take family picture and add that personal touch every Father (and Mother) would love to have in their home theater. When the best movie theater in the area is right in your living room, you need the perfect snack to accompany the feature film! Thanks to the Original Silver Whirley Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper, you can have delicious, perfectly cooked movie theater popcorn in just 3 minutes! This popcorn popper also has a patented stirring system so you never have to worry about burning or ruining your popcorn – each kernel moves until it is popped Many home theater seats and couches include built-in cup holders. Some manufacturers sell tablet mounts that fit in their cupholders. But if yours doesn’t, or you don’t want to pay the premium, why not try a universal cup holder tablet mount instead? If your home theater is tablet controlled, you have your whole control interface right there at your fingertips, without having to pick it up off the coffee table. That’s good living.Father’s Day Wish List

Hi guys - About the Apple TV 4K updates, in terms of home theater big news, I thought you would also have pointed out that Apple will be supporting Atmos with its Fall software update.
