Home Theater Review gives this great sounding problem solver a wonderful review!
The B&W Panorama offers sleek and sexy look!
B&W's Panorama Sound Bar $2,200.00
We are pleased to report the B&W 805 Diamond has been presented an EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) award.
This award is considered and voted upon by many Hi Fi reviewers of the European community. The EISA panel concluded: “Bowers & Wilkins’ classic 805 standmount loudspeaker gets the ‘Diamond’ makeover. Additionally, boasting an innovative 4-magnet motor design, the new Nautilus tube-loaded tweeter, a revised bass/midrange driver and uprated crossover are housed in its matrix-inspired cabinet. This compact speaker is available in three beautiful finishes – cherrywood, rosenut and piano gloss black – that reflect its status as a true luxury product.”
“As the the voice of a top quality hi-fi system, and without dominating the furniture in your living room, the Bowers & Wilkins 805 Diamond offers a highly refined and beguiling sound that’s hard to resist.”
The B&W 805 Diamond. Shown here in Rosenut. $5,000.00 per pair

Here are the promised “before pictures. This is a beautiful Burlingame Hills home. Large, multi floor with lots of rooms, all with purpose. We are setting about a complete update. Two home theaters, complete whole house audio and HD (1080p) video distribution and a new control system. A couple of stand alone TV’s and outdoor sound.
As you will see, we have removed all the old volume controls along with the old distributed audio system. This will be replaced with Crestron keypads, touch screens and remotes. All the old speakers, both in-wall and in-ceiling will be removed and replaced with B&W in-wall and in-ceiling speakers for superb sound though out the home.
When we are done this home will sing!
The cabinet has been emptied and all the wire for the entire audio / video distribution system is being re-routed here. The entire home electronics system will center here. This area will also be the center of viewing for the family room.
The beautiful Master Bedroom will have a Panasonic Pro 50 inch plasma above the fireplace. In-ceiling B&W speakers, an Artison in wall subwoofer and Crestron automation will leave this room free of the clutter a home theater can create. Great sound, stunning picture and 1 button operation!
All the old style knob based volume controls will be replaced with Crestron keypads, Crestron touch screens or in the case of the guest rooms new Decora slide volume controls. Most rooms will have complete control of the entire system!

The newest of Krell amplifiers has received what we are sure is only the first of many GREAT reviews.
A few quotes from Andrew Robinson of Home Theater Review:
“The 402e’s ability to recreate – scratch that – transform ones listening environment into the venue or recording space is uncanny and begs belief.”
“I walked away from my listening session simply amazed at how Krell was able to turn an already solid amplifier in the 402 into an amp that bordered on otherworldly with the 402e. No matter what the genre or volume level, the 402e never ceased to amaze.”

B&W Bowers & Wilkins speakers in Atherton, California (CA)
Sound Cinema Integration is Atherton, California (CA) source for B&W Bowers & Wilkins…For more than 40 years, the B&W Bowers & Wilkins name has been synonymous with the word “professional.” The business was built on a close affiliation with professional sound engineers, who have exacting demands for not just the performance of their loudspeakers, but also attributes like reliability. (A studio monitor has to survive loads of abuse in its lifetime.) When B&W’s classic 801 speaker was introduced in 1979, it soon became the reference speaker in nearly all of the world’s classical recording studios, including EMI Abbey Road, Decca and Deutsche Grammophon.
From the beginning, discerning audio enthusiasts in Atherton, California (CA) and the world over followed the lead of the professionals, flocking to B&W for their home systems. The company has continued to innovate, introducing game-changing products like the legendary Nautilus and, more recently, the world’s first Diamond-Dome tweeter. And they’ve expanded their reach into home theater, becoming a preeminent manufacturer of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers for home and professional use.
Our 20(?) year relationship with B&W has been pure pleasure. Their commitment to customer service is without equal, another facet of the professionalism on which they’ve staked their reputation. Being chosen to represent them in Atherton, California (CA) and the entire Bay Area is a vote of confidence from a company we respect highly.

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.
LCD TV from Samgung, 3D-HDTV, B&W Sig8 NT's for right, left and center speakers. The IWS4 in wall sub is to the right behind the paper wall hanging.
The TV floating in its alcove.
All the electronics wired and living in their closet.
