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.

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!

Adam Matthew and John

I often think about how fortunate we are to have such wonderful people in our lives. Customers who truly understand what we do and will invest their time and hard earned money to create something that is nothing short of an awe inspiring.

John and Kathryn started buying home entertainment products from us about three years ago. They were in the  process of an extensive remodel of a beautiful home on Hood Canal which in another life was once a Bed & Breakfast. Because of their love of movies, we first helped them buy and install a JVC, Focal and Integra home theater system.  As their remodel progressed,  we integrated some very nice music components including Focal Chorus speakers and a Sooloos music server to provide quality  background music for their living room, library and outdoor sitting areas.

From time to time John stops into our showroom to audition music systems in our main listening room.  Needless to say  he became intrigued with what was possible in stereo reproduction and decided to upgrade the home theater to approach a level of performance  he now desired for stereo listening. He quickly fell in love with our Focal Stella Utopia Speakers and decided he had to have them.

1200 lbs of Stella Utopia speakers still in their crates

Our only problem was is that they were a bit too big physically to fit the theater room. To fix this awful problem…. what does this man do? He decides to add  a dedicated music room to this already extensive remodel project. I checked my notes, we first sat down at his kitchen table to start designing this room 443 days ago. Because of the lengthly county permitting process and other unforeseen delays, we are finally here unpacking and setting up this amazing system.

Here is a list of the  products carefully selected to create this system:

• Clear Audio Master Innovation Turntable
• Aesthetix Rhea Signature Phono Preamp
• Krell Evolution Preamplifier
• Aesthetix Atlas Mono Block Amplifiers
• Sooloos MD 15 Music Server
• Nordost Cabling and Interconnects

Stay tuned for an update along with more photos as we need to finish setting up everything and allow it to break in and do some fine tuning with acoustic treatment.
