The People Behind
Your Perfect
Home
Home Theater Advisors was built on one belief: New York City homeowners deserve high-end AV and smart home installations that are as beautiful as they are functional—without the luxury price tag.
He Didn't Just Learn the Industry.
He Ran Part of It.
Most AV company owners learned their craft on the job. Mark Feinberg learned his from inside the supply chain. Before founding Home Theater Advisors in 2011, he ran Product Management at ADI—one of the country's largest distributors of home theater equipment. He wasn't just selling and installing systems. He was helping decide which products made it to market, studying what separated excellent installations from mediocre ones, and seeing firsthand where companies cut corners.
"I spent years watching great products get installed badly. The equipment matters—but the installer matters more."
— Mark Feinberg, FounderHe brought that perspective back to Manhattan. The mission: deliver the quality and aesthetics of luxury AV installations at prices that don't require a hotel-lobby budget. That gap—between what high-end looks like and what most people think it costs—is where HTA lives.
Mark earned his BA in Government at Dartmouth and his MBA in Marketing and Strategy from Duke's Fuqua School of Business. Before his time in the AV industry, he worked in management consulting and strategic planning for consumer brands including Gillette, OfficeMax, and Warnaco. He lives in Manhattan with his wife and two children—and yes, his own home theater is immaculate.
Today, Mark leads a team of installation specialists who share his obsession with clean work: no visible wires, no exposed equipment, no shortcuts. Every system HTA installs is designed to look like it was always meant to be there.

Every Install We Do
These aren't company taglines. They're the reasons Mark built HTA in the first place—and the standards we hold ourselves to on every job.
Aesthetics Are Non-Negotiable
Technology should enhance your home, not clash with it. Every wire hidden. Every component placed with intention. The install should be invisible.
No Job Too Small or Too Big
Manhattan homeowners have been told that great AV work requires a luxury budget. We built HTA to prove that wrong—without compromising quality or craftsmanship.
Relationships Over Transactions
We don't disappear after the invoice. We offer ongoing support plans because we intend to be your AV partner for the long run—not a company you call once.
What Sets an HTA Install Apart
This is how we approach every project—from a single TV mount to a full smart home renovation.
We Listen Before We Recommend
Every home is different. Every family uses technology differently. Before we suggest a single product, we understand how you actually live—room by room, routine by routine.
We Coordinate With Your Whole Team
We speak contractor, architect, and millworker. We plug into your renovation team so the AV infrastructure gets done right while the walls are still open.
We Protect Your Home on the Job
Every floor is covered. Every surface is protected. We've never left a job site without cleaning up, and we've never left a client without a walkthrough of their new system.
We Hide Everything That Should Be Hidden
Cables, routers, cable boxes, amplifiers—if it doesn't need to be visible, it won't be. We route, conceal, and install with clean aesthetics as the baseline, not the bonus.
We Stay Available After the Install
Technology evolves. Systems need updates. Families grow and their needs change. Our support plans keep us on call long after the initial project is complete.
We're Honest About What You Actually Need
We don't upsell. If a less expensive option does the job well, we'll tell you. Our goal is the right system for your home—not the most expensive one we can spec.

Serving Manhattan Since 2011
Over a decade of NYC-specific experience means we understand the unique challenges of apartment installations: building management, co-op boards, narrow hallways, and all.
"Your home should look extraordinary and work flawlessly. These aren't competing goals—they're the same goal."
Too many AV companies treat aesthetics as an afterthought. We treat it as the whole point. Here's how that belief shapes every decision we make.
We never staple a wire to a baseboard. If it can't be hidden inside the wall, we find another way.
We never leave equipment sitting on a shelf in plain sight. Cable boxes, routers, and amplifiers belong in closets or cabinets.
We never recommend more than you need. The right system is the one that fits your life—not the one with the highest margin.
We never disappear after you pay the invoice. Support plans exist because technology needs care, and relationships should outlast the project.
We never treat a renovation as someone else's problem. If you're redoing your apartment, we get involved early—when we can still make a difference.
We never leave your home dirtier than we found it. Floors covered, surfaces protected, cleanup done. Every time. Without exception.

Say About Working With Us
"Mark's background in the industry really shows. He explained every option clearly, helped us make the right decisions for our budget, and the install was immaculate. Our whole family is in love with the system."
"Mark and his team are phenomenal. They ran all of our wires during our renovation, coordinated with our contractor perfectly, and the result is a home that looks like it was designed for a magazine. Zero visible cables anywhere."
"Our Wi-Fi was terrible in the back rooms for years. Mark came in, assessed everything, installed the right access points, and now we have perfect signal everywhere. Wish we'd called him three years ago."
"What I appreciated most was that Mark was honest—he told me what I didn't need, which made me trust everything he did recommend. No upselling. Just straightforward advice and a flawless install."
