Bento Box Bits of everything

Master bedroom

It's quite bare, but cozy enough for me. I considered it 'complete' once I got the speakers last week. On my brother's recommendation, I went to Definitive Audio to check out their open-box selection of bookshelf speakers - they had some B&W CM-1s which sounded amazing. I listened to other bookshelf speakers but I didn't think those had as large a sound stage, and tight bass like the CM-1s.

The speakers are powered by a Sonos ZP-100, an amplified wireless music system. Having a 2nd zone for Sonos enables some cool features: being able to link zones to "party mode" and control separate volumes; plus being able to set multiple alarms to play music is really useful.

Here's the other wall of the bedroom; there are 3 separate remote controlled motorized black-out shades. Very nice not having to manually open 3 large windows in the morning, and the black-out shading allows me to sleep in - especially since this side of the house gets the morning sun. The view isn't spectacular since the rear faces another house, but for now I can temporarily see the park across the street.

  1. you need to get some sweet separate amp, preamp, and cd player to really get the sound out of those speakers. check out the chinese made high end stuff.
