Here are a few ” after ” shots.

Our Burlingame whole house upgrade is complete. Here is the Family Room cabinet. It holds not only the Surround Sound System for the room but also all the electronics for the rest of the home. Marantz, Furman, Crestron, Spatz, Artison and more.

The Master Bedroom is beautiful. A complete HD Home Theater all hidden away. All controlled via Crestron touchscreen. It's as easy to operate as it is good sounding!

All the speakers in this home are B&W. In-wall or in-ceiling it just doesn't get any better!

2 I-Pod docking stations, FM radio, Blu Ray and 2 Comcast cable boxes are our sources. All accessible and controllable from any room in the house!

The B&W Sig8 NT’s perform as billed.  An audiophile listening experience built into the wall! And the sub may be one of the best sub’s in a system we have heard. Seamless bass with no point of origin. The sound will only get better over the next few weeks as things break in.

All of the electronics are hidden away in a remote location.  Rotel RSP-1570 and the Rotel RMB -1565 to power the system. A Marantz Blu Ray for stunning picture quality.  Furman AC-215 at the LCD Flat Panel TV and an Elite 15 at the component location to protect and condition the AC power.  And to insure the BEST in digital music recreation a LINN Majik DS, Digital Streaming Player.

Once the new cabinets are installed and the system has broken in a bit we will go back for one final visit to re-calibrate the sonic performance and do a final calibration on the LCD Flat Panel TV. Until then we can share these photos.

All the electronics wired and living in their closet.

While the RCX-1500 Receiver/CD player is an all-in-one model, it has been engineered using components that you would find in more expensive separates.

Rotel RCX-1500 $1499.00

The DAC is the high-performance Wolfson with 24 bit / 192kHz decoding. The amplifier uses their innovative Class D design that is highly efficient, runs cooler than older A/B designs and provides plenty of voltage and current to easily drive lower impedance speakers down to 4 ohms. With 100 watts per channel available,  feel free to hook up large floor-standing loudspeakers to the RCX-1500.
The receiver’s tuner section includes both terrestrial FM and Internet so your listening options are virtually limitless! There are presently over 15,000 Internet radio stations listed. And in order to help keep your favorite stations handy, the RCX-1500 includes 30  presets for instantaneous access to both FM and Internet broadcasts. A wireless Dongle (802.11) is provided for Ethernet connection or you may choose to use a wired connection.
The RCX-1500, like the RDG-1520, supports UPnP technology. UPnP devices are “plug-and-play” in that when connected to a network they automatically announce their network address and supported device and services types, enabling clients that recognize those types to immediately begin using the device. Supported codecs include RealAudio(R), WMA, MP3, AAC & AAC+ (non DRM), AU, WAV and AIFF.
As if all that isn’t enough, an RS-232 port provides system control and bi-directional feedback. In addition, the RCX-1500 is also a very high quality CD player, based onthe outstanding RCD-1520.
The RCX-1500 is without doubt, one of the most flexible, high performance, single chassis stereo components available today.

A tuner for the 21st Century. RDG stands for Rotel Digital Gateway.

Rotel RDG-1520 $999.00

The RDG-1520 certainly opens the gate wide for all that streaming media can offer, plus it
includes an FM radio and offers a USB input for direct digital connection of an iPod or other USB class 2 devices, bypassing the inexpensive analog output stage in favor of our Wolfson DAC and high-end analog stage.
The tuner includes terrestrial FM and Internet radio, so your listening options are virtually limitless!
There are presently over 15,000 Internet radio stations listed.
You can connect a lap top directly to the RDG-1520 if this is your preference. Or you can stream from
your PC using Windows Media Player 11 over a wireless or wired Ethernet connection. A USB to WiFi Ethernet dongle is included.
Supported codecs include RealAudio(R), WMA, MP3, AAC & AAC+ (non DRM), AU, WAV and AIFF.
The RDG-1520 can be controlled via bi-directional RS-232, as well as discrete IR. Custom integrators will appreciate that the chassis is a standard 2U size and it works with Rotel’s RFK rack kits for an easy, clean installation.
You might think the RDG-1520 would be a multi-thousand dollar component, given all that it does and the high-performance design.
The few similar units on the market are indeed very expensive. But the RDG-1520 offers the value proposition the Rotel is known for around the globe.
