    Beautiful house with beautiful B&W speakers

    Just dreaming of what I would buy if I won the lottery and I came across this house for sale in West Vancouver with some beautiful speakers in the music room (5 and 6 pictures down) :T

    It's smarter than my house for sure but the positioning of those speakers leaves a lot to be desired.

      There seemed to be space in some of the other rooms for a better placement. I wonder if he uses them to play background music he can accompany on the piano?

      I did like the house. Its in the wrong country, but I could live there. Sure.

      ... Might have to win the lottery twice, but wth...

          It is a music room for show only.

          No one there plays the piano.......

          & no speaker wires or electronics to run the speakers.

          $ spent to impress themselves, apparently.

            I noticed no speaker wire also and wondered if there was any way they could hide the wire? We have a piano in the same room as my 802 diamonds and my daughters like to play the piano to the music streaming from my squeezebox touch through the 802 diamonds..........

              They're the new B&W wireless speakers Bill with all electronics in the cloud.

                Spikes on wood.... that can't be pleasant upon removing the speakers when it sells.... ha ha. (it's a joke, I know they have them in with the rubber feet down).

                Those were put there for the pictures, no other reason.

                    There's another house on there that has the Bang & Olufsen Beolab 5s in the one picture....

                    I'm not saying it's necessarily that they were just put there for the pictures...just seems sort of out of place. If anything, they are there to be art...not to be used.

                      Though it is very possible the house is completely staged, I would like to say that hiding your writing under the floor or in the wall is definitely the way to go. I did that in my home. Nordost makes very good flat cables that you can easily put under the wood floor or through the wall. All of my electronics are hidden inside panels as well. It is call the spouse factor. Regardless, thanks for sharing! I am building a house and sent the link directly to my architect. I don't much care for the outside but the inside is spectacular. The kitchen is a must have and the main office off the pool is a necessity. Wow.

                        Rented It.

                        Right on par with "Hero", not quite as good as "CTHD" though.

                        The colors and cinematography are beautiful. Drama is that of your typical Kung Fu film. I enjoyed it and plan on picking it up.

                        by Bluespower
                        After several years of lusting, I've finally scored my dream speakers. Last week I took delivery of a beautiful pair of red cherry N802s.

                        A pair became available locally (10 miles) in the color, condition and price I've been hoping for. My wife reluctantly agreed to the purchase after...

                        Okay, so I FINALLY got my new equipment rack 99% set up in my new house, with thanks to help from the Parasound guys! (I couldn't find my HRA-4u Halo C1 rackmount ears after my move, for one thing) First, the pic of the equipment rack itself. Wish I could post larger, more high resolution pics. ...

                        by NewMediAroused
                        Hi everyone - I'm new here. We just moved into a new house in Austin, TX and I'm looking for some ideas on finishing up our home theater setup. The speakers in the main room are the B&W CDM 1NT center and surround speakers (no sub or towers). Below is a description of the system that came with...

                        Hey guys:

                        Big problem...my soon to be fiancee just bought her first house and the plan is for me to move in down the road. Ok, that's great but this is her first home and it is pretty small. I think a little over 1200 sq. ft. I was taking a look at the house the other night and realized...
