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 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 pictures of a beautiful home in Clayton.  We have done multiple projects here.  A NuVision TV,  Crestron touchscreen control and most recently a distributed audio system featuring Marantz and B&W speakers.

B&W in-wall speakers for great sound and a very clean look.

Marantz electronics and Crestron control all neatly tucked into shelving.

B&W in-ceiling speakers in the living room.

Here is a nice photo of some additional work done for a great client in Palo Alto. We added a small Surround Sound System to the guest bedroom! Lucky guests!

Easy to use and great sounding, the Marantz NR-1501 slim line Surround Sound receiver and B&W in -ceiling speakers!

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!

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.

All the electronics wired and living in their closet.

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.

Here is a wonderful play room for the kids that also doubles as a family home theater.  We installed a B&W 600 Series speaker assortment and wired back to the closet for the safe and out of site electronics installation.  In the closet lives a Marantz Surround Sound Receiver, a Marantz Blu Ray DVD as well as DVR, Wi and PS3.  All protected via Furman AC Power Conditioning. One button operation is provided via custom programmed remote control from Crestron.

Family Home Theater and Play Room

Here are some photos of a project we just finished work on in Ukiah.

We pre-wired this beautiful home 6 weeks ago adding a ton of wire for the whole house distributed audio system, the outdoor sound and the home theater pictured here.
Our special thanks go out to John Wascisin. You can see his contribution in the great room design but what you can’t see is his help around the job. It made this home a joy to work on as well as a beautiful finished project.

The Nuvision 52 inch LCD HDTV will hang here.

Better looking when finished! B&W CM-7's and matching CMC-2 center. Marantz Blu Ray and DVR are hidden in the corner cabinet. Ruth guarding the entire installation!

The back of the room where the electronics will be installed.

and now full of good things. A Marantz SR7002 Surround Sound Receiver, Rotel RB-1562 Power Amp to power the distributed audio around the house and outdoors. Crestron PMC-2 and I-Pod Docking Station.

The Dining Room

Music in the kitchen!

B&W WM-6 weather proof monitors sound great in this installation!

Outdoor speakers on the rear patio.

We got involved in a technology update of a job originally done by my previous company and my old partner. It was beautiful then and even more so now. Behind these gorgeous cabinet doors hides a complete home theater and the horsepower for the distributed audio in the rest of the home.
This East Bay family room adjoins the kitchen and so the plasma not only hides away but pulls far enough out to turn and face the kitchen area while the home owners cook and enjoy meals. This is done with the assistance very well made Chief Swing Out Arm Plasma bracket.
We updated the Surround Sound receiver to the new Marantz SR-8002 to power the existing B&W 600 Series speakers and sub. We also added a Marantz BD-5004 Blu Ray DVD player. Updating the receiver to a model that would switch HDMI gave us the chance to upgrade the cabling on the video end to HDMI. In doing so we greatly improved the picture. We added a Furman AC Conditioner and re-wired the entire system for improved neatness and performance.
Then we did what the customers wanted the most. We gave them ONE BUTTON OPERATION! We installed and programmed one of the NEW Crestron Prodigy PMC-2 Media Controllers. What a dream it is.
With well thought out programming we were able to allow the everyone EASY, ONE BUTTON operation.
One of the great features of this system; the location of the stored program…..It’s not stored in or outputted from the hand held remote control. Instead it’s stored in the small base unit which is hidden near the components. What does this mean? Simply stated, it means no more waiting for the long, long, long string of IR or RF commands to come out of the remote. No more standing still, pointing the remote and hoping for a successful string of commands to connect and turn everything on. One short burst of RF info from the hand held to the base and it brings up that long string of commands and feeds them from the base unit without fail to the components. So simple, yet so smart. This small features improves the performance of the remote system by a landslide.
This great family and lovely home now has a Surround Sound Theater to match! One everyone can use and enjoy!
