In keeping with the trend toward custom speaker applications, THE EDGE currently offers the widest selection of high performance in-wall and on-wall speaker options in Chicago. Whether being used in home theater designs or for multi-room audio distribution, we have the best products available when floor space is at a premium.

Brands from NHT, Elan, Avalon, DALI, Krell, Induction Dynamics, Klipsch, Radia, Linn Hifi and Eggleston offer beautifully crafted entries that in many cases, rival the performance of their floor standing counterparts. When larger home theater rooms are addressed, or more dynamic impact is required, floor standing speakers may be a better option.

Our showroom is optimized to display speakers in all size ranges, whether on the floor, stands, or a bookshelf. High performance electrostatic speakers from Final, ribbon models from Radia, as well as ultra-dynamic reference quality speaker systems from DALI, Krell, Avalon, Eggleston, and Linn are all proudly displayed.

The heart of every high performance home theater system is the amplifier and surround processor. These components are especially critical if the system is also used to accurately reproduce music. Since 1992, THE EDGE has continuously upgraded our product lines to assure that the current state-of-the-art is always represented in our showroom.

One of the great benefits of our longevity in the industry, is the loyal support we receive from our manufacturers. Companies like Krell, Lexicon and Linn Hifi have been affiliates for over a decade. In addition, new electronics from Moon by Sim Audio, Integra Reference Series, and NHT have recently joined our line-up to provide us with the strongest combination of amplification in the industry.
