Bento Box

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.
