Prime Day Home Cinema deals

Panasonic 4K Blu Ray Player
Panasonic 4K Blu Ray Player: was $197 now $161 at Amazon

Of course, you'll need something to watch some movies on — and what better way than a 4K Blu-Ray player? This Panasonic model balances price and performance with excellent picture quality and support for HDR10, HDR10 plus, and more. This is a solid deal for a solid player.

Top Gun Maverick 4K Blu Ray
Top Gun Maverick 4K Blu Ray: was $25 now $16 at Amazon

You're going to need something to watch for movie night — and what better than the perfect showcase for all of your new stuff than Top Gun Maverick? Cool planes? Check. Tom Cruise? Check. Epic sound? Check. 4K Picture? Check. Just remember that you'll need a 4K Blu-Ray player (like the one above) to watch this release.

YODOLLA 150" Projector Screen
YODOLLA 150" Projector Screen: was $229 now $195 at Amazon

I know you're tempted to use a white wall instead of a proper home theater screen, but I will tell from experience that this is well-worth the upgrade. Contrast and color saturation are so much deeper on a screen, and this one can be rolled up at the push of a button.

Definitive Technology DN8 8" Subwoofer
Definitive Technology DN8 8" Subwoofer: was $499 now $319 at Amazon

You could really opt for any old subwoofer with this setup, but I wanted the sub to match the tower speakers I picked out. The DN8 is slightly older (it's from 2021) but there hasn't been a huge change in bass technology since then. At $180 off its regular price, I recommend picking up two!

Denon AVR-S970H 8K Ultra HD 7.2 Channel AV Receiver
Denon AVR-S970H 8K Ultra HD 7.2 Channel AV Receiver: was $899 now $581 at Amazon

I like this AVR for two reasons: The first is that it can deliver 90W per channel. That's important given that our floorstanding speakers are rated for 400W. Second, however, is the fact that it's $300 off MSRP. As you'd expect, all the key formats are supported (Vision, Atmos, etc...) and you can even turn it into a whole home audio solution by adding a second AVR in another room.

Definitive Technology Dymension DM80 Flagship Tower Speaker
Definitive Technology Dymension DM80 Flagship Tower Speaker: was $2,499 now $1,519 at Amazon

I know, I know. Spending $1,500 on a single speaker sounds crazy. But hear me out. The DM80 costs this much because of how powerful it is and because it combines a LR channel, surround channel and an overhead channel into a single chassis. It's like you're paying for three incredible speakers in one.

AWOL VISION LTV-2500 4K UHD Ultra Short Throw Triple Laser Projector

There are a TON more projectors on the market now than there were just 10 years ago. That's due in large part to companies like AWOL Vision, Dangbei, JMGO and more cropping up overnight. Where the former succeeds, in my opinion, is delivering jaw-dropping visuals that the others can't touch. Yes, it's pricier than the other manufacturer's models, but it looks 10x better.


How does this setup work?

So building this home theater, I had two goals in mind: Big sound and even bigger picture. The 150-inch ultra-short throw projector will deliver the biggest possible image while looking great. It's got all the latest specs and supports the top-tier AV formats like Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision.

You'll connect it via an HDMI cable to that Denon AVR, which can then send the audio signal via speaker wire to the two big tower speakers. Those speakers have posts for LR audio and surround sound, plus connectors for Atmos sound.

Finally, you've got two subs to deliver that room-shaking bass and a roll down screen to finish the look. It's a killer setup and it's less than half price thanks to these Amazon Prime Day deals.

There are plenty more deals to be had this Prime Day — make sure you check out our Prime Day live blog to make sure you're staying on top of all the latest sales and offers.
