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.

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.
Here are a couple of pictures of the B&W speakers installed but prior to painted grills!

The B&W Signature 8's are installed!

In-Ceiling B&W's will disappear once the grills are added!
Here is another shot of the living room now that the sheet rock has been patched. As you can see, the back boxes are covered leaving only the area the speaker will fill. Our next photo will be after the speakers are installed and the painter has done his work.

B&W Signature 8's back boxes prior to paint and speaker installation.

The kitchen ceiling before paint.
Here are a couple of pictures of the living room rough in. This room will feature a 58 inch Panasonic Professional Series Plasma TV and the stunning B&W Signature 8 Surround Sound speaker assortment. 3 of the Signature 8 in-wall’s and the B&W ISW4 in wall subwoofer!

One of the things that make the B&W Signature 8's so special sounding is the proper mounting of the back boxes.

Look in the next few days to see these back boxes disappear!
Here is a lovely little home in Manteca. We will be doing a B&W Signature Home Theater in the living room, distributed HD Video to the Master bedroom and the Kitchen . Music will all be stored on hard drive and accessed via Apple i-Pad! Control by Crestron!

The blank wall that will become home to the B&W Signature Home Theater and the Panasonic Professional 58 inch Plasma TV.

The kitchen wall to the right of the window will be home to a 32 inch flat panel. B&W in-ceiling speakers will provide sound for the room.

This patio area off the living room and the Master bedroom will feature B&W WeatherProof Monitors for great sound while enjoying the pool.
The Seating arrived and was installed in our Berkeley Hills Dedicated Theater! Beautiful!!!

Custom made to our clients spec these VIP Cinema seats are beautiful as well as comfortable!


One last peek at the cabinet!
Here are a couple of shots of the dedicated theater project we have been working on. The room features an Epson projector, Image Screen, the new Marantz SR-7005 Surround Sound Receiver and the UD-5005 Universal Disc Player. For speakers we have a full compliment of B&W. Embedded behind the screen are 3 CWM-7.3′s. For the sides and rears we used the CCM-663. Also we added the B&W SA250 sub woofer amp and 2 ISW-4 in-wall sub woofers! To protect the system we added Furman, to cool we added Active Thermal Management and to control the system with ease we added Crestron. The last step is the seating. Look for the finished pictures soon!

As you can see we designed for 3 rows of tiered theater seating.

The electronics are in the cabinet below the screen. Also note the B&W ISW-4 sub woofer to the right of the cabinet. One of two subs in the room.
This beautiful San Francisco home is installing a HD Flat Panel TV and a B&W Panorama Sound Bar above the newly remodeled fireplace. Here is a photo of the pre-wire. We will be adding more HDMI cables this week. Check back in a week or so for the finished job photo!

Another place where the B&W Panorama will offer great sound with very little clutter!
