This past weekend had our team out in the East Bay, Piedmont to be exact. We installed a sweet little birthday surprise for the lucky dad in this family!
We began by updating the receiver and adding a Rotel 6 channel distribution amp to power 3 zones. We also added a Marantz 5 disc CD changer, the new CC-4003 and a Marantz IPod Docking Station to the electronics closet.
Then we finished by installing two pairs of B&W loudspeakers. One pair of CCM-80 in-ceiling speakers and 1 pair of WM-6 weatherproof outdoor speakers tucked up under the eves.
It all sounded great, was easy for the entire family to use and came in under budget! A good day for us all!

The device’s CD section uses 24 bit/192kHz DACs, and a very capable 2×100-watt amp section ready for the demands of a 4 ohm load.

In other introductions, the company showed its 12×100-watt (into 8 ohms) Class D multi-room-audio amplifier, the $2,799-suggested retail. This amp should be a great addition to the line and further enhance the sound quality of many a multi-room system.
