San Francisco Kitchen Pre-Wire
This week brings the start of a new project. This is a kitchen remodel in San Francisco. The new kitchen design comes from the San Francisco based architectural firm of Dirk Stennick Design. Dirk is well established in the Bay Area and a joy to work with. The General Contractor is the great firm of Alward Construction. They have a rich history as one of the finest builders in the San Francisco Bay Area and we have enjoyed their organized and professional approach to this job.
We are adding to this project by wiring for a stand alone music system. We ran MIT CL-3 rated in wall 14 gauge wire from the upper cabinet area to the electronic location on the other side of the room.
Ultimately the LINN Classic Musik am/fm/cd player will be housed in the cabinets on one side and the B&W CM-5 bookshelf speakers will be hidden in the custom cabinets above the stove and fridge. Not pretty yet, but we will keep you posted.
Well, a new day brings a great new idea to improve this project!
We have decided to move away from the original idea of hiding bookshelf speakers in the cabinet enclosures above the fridge and stove and go with the ultra high performance B&W Signature 7 NT in-wall speakers! They will live above the cabinets in the soffit.
The in-wall, 2 way speaker offers much the cutting edge technology found in the rest of the B&W loudspeaker line. It is a bi-wirable. 7″ Kevlar(R) bass, 1″ metal dome tweeter featuring Nautilus technology.
hese will sound great, once painted will appear nearly invisible and take up none of the valuable cabinet storage real estate!
