For this family, home is a place to bring everyone together—and music is part of that welcome. Customers of Nuts About Hi Fi for more than 20 years, they recently purchased this beautiful waterfront home and invited us to help make music part of life there, inside and out.
In the listening room, we installed Focal Sopra No. 3 speakers, an Aesthetix Atlas amplifier, a Marantz AV preamplifier, and a JL Audio Fathom f113v2 subwoofer. A Clearaudio Concept turntable and Roon Nucleus offer the enjoyment of favorite records alongside the ease of exploring a digital music collection. Nordost cabling, AC distribution, and Sort Kone isolation complete the system.
While our team, Eli and Paul, finished installing eight pairs of Focal outdoor speakers and an in-ground subwoofer, Greg and I fine-tuned the placement of the Sopras.
The system wasn’t even broken in yet, but the soundstage was already spectacular. During a Dizzy Gillespie track, the trumpet sounded so lifelike that Greg laughed and said, “I think Dizzy might have just spit on me!”
Those are the moments we love, when the equipment fades away and the music feels present in the room.
Just off the kitchen, a Marantz Horizon carries the music into the adjoining listening area.
Outside, the Focal system creates a seamless musical transition to the waterfront entertainment space, ready for family gatherings, time with friends, and quiet evenings together.
It’s a pleasure to help longtime customers settle into a new home, and especially rewarding to create a system their family can enjoy for years to come.
Have a space you’d love to fill with music? Come in and have a listen.
