Here are a few ” after ” shots.

Our Burlingame whole house upgrade is complete. Here is the Family Room cabinet. It holds not only the Surround Sound System for the room but also all the electronics for the rest of the home. Marantz, Furman, Crestron, Spatz, Artison and more.

The Master Bedroom is beautiful. A complete HD Home Theater all hidden away. All controlled via Crestron touchscreen. It's as easy to operate as it is good sounding!

All the speakers in this home are B&W. In-wall or in-ceiling it just doesn't get any better!

2 I-Pod docking stations, FM radio, Blu Ray and 2 Comcast cable boxes are our sources. All accessible and controllable from any room in the house!

Here are a few more shots of our Burlingame whole house update.  We have been working on re-routing all the wire to a location that will offer our clients easy of operation and us easy of service!

The gym area prep'd for TV installation.

We have removed all the old control system and old fashioned volume controls and replaced with Crestron keypads or touch screens.

All the old in-wall and in-ceiling speakers are removed and replaced with B&W! They not only will sound much better but wait til you see the look!

The old in-ceiling speaker.

The NEW B&W in ceiling speaker. The frameless design offers a much cleaner final look!

The new B&W CWM-663 offer the same elegant look as the new in-ceiling models!

We have hung 4 TV’s and backed them up with Furman AC-215′s for AC enhancement / protection.

The Master Suite. TV above the fireplace and prep'd for the B&W CCM-816's!

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.

The Furman AC-215 is a simple, inexpensive way to not only protect you TV from damage caused by electrical anomalies, but eek every bit of performance out of it!

Furman AC-215 $199.00

The AC-215 compact power conditioner featuring Furman’s revolutionary SMP technology. Furman’s Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) circuit features our exclusive Linear Filter Technology (LiFT) and Extreme Voltage Shutdown (EVS) and a high current TVZ-MOV.

SMP (Series Multi-Stage Protection Plus)
Furman’s SMP surge suppression virtually eliminates service calls. Traditional surge suppression circuits sacrifice themselves when exposed to multiple transient voltage spikes, requiring the dismantling of your system, and repair of your surge suppressor. Not so with SMP. With Furman’s SMP, damaging transient voltages are safely absorbed, clamped and dissipated – no sacrificed parts, no service calls, no down time.

Unique to Furman’s SMP is its unparalleled clamping voltage, even when tested beyond the grueling specifications of – USA/CIDA’s A-1-1 test. While other designs offer clamping voltages that are well above 300VAC peak (far beyond long accepted professional standards), Furman’s SMP clamps at 188VAC peak, 133 VAC RMS even when tested with multiple 6000VAC – 3000 Amp surges! This unprecedented level of protection is only available with Furman’s SMP technology.

LiFT (Linear Filtering Technology)
Unfortunately, traditional AC filter/conditioners have been designed for unrealistic laboratory conditions. Prior technologies could actually harm audio and video performance more than they help, due to the resonant peaking of their antiquated, non-linear designs. Under certain conditions, these designs can actually add more than 10 dB of noise to the incoming AC line! Worse still, lost digital data, the need to reboot digital presets, or destroyed digital converters are frequently caused by excessive voltage spikes and AC noise contaminating the equipment ground. Furman’s SMP with LiFT takes another approach, ensuring optimal performance through linear filtering and no leakage to ground.

E.V.S. (Extreme Voltage Shutdown)
Furman’s trusted overvoltage circuitry protects against all too frequent accidental connections to 208 or 240VAC by shutting off the incoming power until the overvoltage condition is corrected.

Compact Chassis Design
At only 1.75′H x 5′W x 8.5′D, and weighing in at only 3 lbs., the AC-215′s compact, low-profile design makes it ideal for mounting to the back of a flat-screen television, or anywhere that discretely located, remote power protection and purification are needed.
