This post is  a continuation on one we did awhile back – Dedication to the Art of Music. Check out how far it has come!

Today Matthew and I put some finishing touches on on a system I wish every customer we have could hear. We have been awaiting furniture and artwork to finish the room. Meanwhile our customers have been breaking in their FOCAL STELLA UTOPIA speakers along with the rest of their new Aesthetix components.

Matthew and I arrived at 9:00 am in the morning to tweak the speaker locations and adjust the crossovers to match the room’s acoustics. I’m glad we ate our wheaties as these babies weigh in at about 350 lbs. each.

Matt then checked the tone arm alignment and weight of the phono cartridge on the Clear Audio Master Innovation, and installed the long awaited Accudrive power supply for the turntable motor.

We ended up listening  to everything from the Eagles to Also sprach Zarathustra and soon realized it is one of the most compellingly beautiful systems we have done to date. 

Thanks very much to John and Kathryn for allowing us to help them buy and install this
truly beautiful system.

What a sincere pleasure.

Today Adam put the finishing touches on an extensive remodel project both he and Matthew have been working on for the past few months. A very good client of ours had recently purchased a new home and asked us to design and install a low profile whole-house audio-video system that was simple to use and would perform at levels well beyond typical background house music systems.

We ended up installing over 40 Focal in-wall and in-ceiling speakers along with JL Audio’s in-wall subwoofers, 5 flat screen televisions, and a beautiful Sony projection, Focal, JL audio and Integra home theater system. The entire entertainment system can be easily controlled with several URC touch screens located throughout the home.

With the permission of our client, we wanted to share a few photos of this project.

Sooloos Control Screen located in the kitchen to allow quick access to thousands of full resolution albums.

We had absolutely nothing to do with this chandelier but had to take a picture anyway.

This cabinet houses all the whole house music and control components. It was modified to allow for great ventilation as some of those babies can get toasty.

For the home theater system we chose Screen Innovations black diamond screen as it can be used day or night no matter the light conditions.

The magnetic removable grills are off to the painters to have them match the wall color.

We would like to thank our lovely client and friend for allowing us to participate in helping make this home amazing. Too much fun!
