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.

Home Theater Alamo Nearing Completion!

kb — Sun, 30 May 2010 17:52:03 +0000

We have almost completed our work here. The system looks and sounds remarkable! It is hooked up and working like a dream. One button operation as promised! The TV as you will see looks great in the alcove built for it. Very tight tolerances, a quarter inch in the sides and 1.5 inches at the top and bottom.

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 B&W CWM-684 rears nearly disappeared once the grills were painted.

The TV floating in its alcove.

All the electronics wired and living in their closet.

Their Evolution and S-Series amps, preamps, processors and players regularly induce drooling among respected industry reviewers.

Alamo California (CA) Home Entertainment Update!

kb — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:06:04 +0000

Here are some photos of a job we just completed. This was a complete overhaul of home electronics. New flat panel TV’s, new Surround Sound Systems, new distributed audio around the house and new control! Simple and elegant.

The Family Room features a 60 inch Pioneer plasma, B&W in-wall speakers, Artison in-wall subwoofer. The electronics are Marantz. Power conditioning by Furman and 1 button operation by Crestron.

The Plasma is mounted on a tilting bracket to ensure a great picture when seated.

We added new B&W in-ceiling speakers in 3 locations in the house.

The Master Suite was kept simple with the use of a B&W Panorama. This Integrated Audio Video Surround Sound System and the TV are all you see. This system is custom programmed for one touch operation using a Crestron PMC-2 remote.
