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 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.

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.
Here are a few photo’s of a newly remodeled conference room we helped complete for our friends there. Great people and a wonderful facility!

We installed an Epson projector along with a VuTec screen. Crestron automation for ease of operation.

The Marantz, Crestron and DTV electronics are all hidden away in the credenza below the screen.

The boss got a Panasonic Pro plasma for his office....along with B&W in-ceiling speakers through out the entire space. Office, conference room and the staff break room!
This beautiful Berkeley Hills home has room for a dedicated theater and a home owner who loves the idea!

The walls go up!

The front wall is framed and the speaker wire in run! The B&W CWM7.3 right, left and center speakers will reside behind the Image Screen Acoustically Transparent 100 inch screen.
Here is our latest Home Theater installed in a beautiful home hidden away in Danville. We installed a 65 inch Panasonic Professional HD Plasma in the existing cabinet. The heart of the system is a Rotel RSX-1550 Surround Sound receiver powering a pair of B&W CM9s with the CMC2 center channel speaker. We wanted to take a little floor space as possible so went to the Artison in-wall sub woofer. It is hidden away from view, but does a rockin good job. As we always recommend, Furman protection on both the plasma and the electronics. And it is all controlled with a Crestron touch screen remote for simple, intuitive operation.

The "before" picture shows the cabinet after we removed the screen. This used to be a 2 piece projection system with a 65 in screen and a projector on the coffee table.

Here is the cabinet after we installed the plasma and speakers.

The electronics are in the lower left of the cabinet.

Closing the cabinet door is fine thanks to ventilation by Active Thermal Management and control by Crestron.
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!
