Roseville Fix-Um-Up!

kb — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 21:18:05 +0000

Here is a great example of the mess left behind by integrators who just don’t care. We were invited by the wonderful home owners to come offer advice and make the system work. We cleaned it all up, added a new receiver and more importantly we added the proper ac and thermal protection devices. These addition insure the long life and proper operation of all the components! The result is a system that sound better and no longer looks a mess. The next step is Crestron control.

Our Manteca Project Is Coming Along!

kb — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 19:27:10 +0000

As we near completion here in Manteca I wanted to show some pictures of the B&W Signature 8′s once painted out and in the context of the whole system . Additionally we have the kitchen and master bedroom.

Here is the living room which features the B&W Signature 8 for right, left and center channel speakers as well as the ISW-4 in wall sub woofer. Once painted they look wonderful.

Inside the cabinet is the heart of the system. An Anthem MRX-700 Surround Sound Receiver, Marantz BD-7004 BluRay and a NA-7004 Network Audio Player. The HD video is distributed thru the home via a Atlona HDMI Matrix Switcher. The entire system is protected by Furman AC protection. The automation is by Crestron. One button operation expertly programmed in house by SCI!

The kitchen TV is mounted on a swing arm so it can be viewed while cooking or dining.

The master bedroom TV is neatly tucked in a corner above the dresser.

More from Manteca!

Danville Home Theater

kb — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 21:06:17 +0000

Here is our latest Home Theater installed in a beautiful home hidden away in Danville. We installed a 65 inch Panasonic Professional HD Plasma in the existing cabinet. The heart of the system is a Rotel RSX-1550 Surround Sound receiver powering a pair of B&W CM9s with the CMC2 center channel speaker. We wanted to take a little floor space as possible so went to the Artison in-wall sub woofer. It is hidden away from view, but does a rockin good job. As we always recommend, Furman protection on both the plasma and the electronics. And it is all controlled with a Crestron touch screen remote for simple, intuitive operation.

The "before" picture shows the cabinet after we removed the screen. This used to be a 2 piece projection system with a 65 in screen and a projector on the coffee table.

Here is the cabinet after we installed the plasma and speakers.

The electronics are in the lower left of the cabinet.

Closing the cabinet door is fine thanks to ventilation by Active Thermal Management and control by Crestron.
