Our client envisioned a penthouse that transcends the conventional, setting forth a vision where high-performance audio meets cinematic brilliance. He sought an immersive experience that harmonised seamlessly with the opulence of penthouse living. Unrestricted by budget constraints, the objective was to create an audio-visual sanctuary that pushed the boundaries of luxury and technology.

The heart of the project lies in the carefully curated home theater system, embracing a full Sonus Faber 5.2.4 configuration. The front speakers: Amati Homage Tradition, Center speaker, Amati Vox; Surround speaker: Sonus Faber Guarneri, Gravis VI Subs and 3-way in-ceiling Pladio PC 664P were meticulously chosen for their respective roles, providing a symphony of audio precision. Driven by Storm Audio processors and amplifiers, it adds a powerful sonic dimension, delivering a cinematic audio experience that transcends expectations.

The challenge of mounting a 98-inch TV on a feature wall was solved with meticulous planning and coordination with ID from start to finish. Serving as a support for the TV and an aesthetic backdrop, the feature wall and console house all audio components while ensuring proper ventilation and wiring management. Structural reinforcements were strategically implemented to support the weight of heavy 3-way in-ceiling speakers, maintaining both form and function.

Open-space acoustics of the penthouse with full-height windows posed a unique challenge, met head-on with strategic speaker placement and a rigorous 6-hour remote online calibration session from STORM Audio HQ in France. This meticulous process fine-tuned each component individually and collectively, ensuring that every note and cinematic effect resonates with precision throughout the expansive penthouse.

Acknowledging the client’s passion for music, AVM, a German audio electronics manufacturer, was handpicked to deliver the best stereo sound. AVM Ovation Mono block MA 6.3, AVM Ovation CS 6.3 dedicated streamer, and power conditioner deliver high-fidelity music, adding a personalised touch to the audio-visual experience.
