Audiophile Adds German Turntable to Whole-House Music System

Uniquely installed AV system preserves condo's minimalist style

By the looks of this minimalist Miami Beach condo, you’d never guess that its owner has a penchant for high-end audiophile music. Neither is it evident that the master bedroom is his favorite place to watch TV. And surely, this 7,000-square-foot residence isn’t automated. But looks can be deceiving, and this condo pulls it off flawlessly, thanks to the innovative integration of a sophisticated audio and video distribution system, clever installation of flat-panel TVs and the design and installation of a home automation system that can be monitored and managed from the homeowner’s iPad.

1 Sound Choice Earns Nest Thermostat Certification

PRWeb - 1 Sound Choice (winner of the Angie's List Super Service Award for 5 years and recently voted Best of Houzz 2014) today officially announced their certification as a Nest Thermostat Professional. Certified professionals are proven qualified to both sell and install the new high-tech, energy-efficient thermostats from the developers of the Apple iPod.

The Nest Learning Thermostat revolutionizes the capabilities of a device that controls half of the energy consumption in your home. Developed by Tony Fadell, who helped design the iPod and ran the iPod and iPhone divisions at Apple for years, the thermostats save homeowners energy by learning the daily routines of a household and making appropriate adjustments. Many thermostats in today's homes are either non-programmable models or a programmable model that has not been installed properly, costing hundreds of dollars a year in utility expenses.
