Making way for the Beo 9000, I'm still inlove with this system, surely one of the best designs by B&0 till today

The Bunker House

One of the best designs by anyone........

Finalising the tv and dining room, next step will be passing cables to the server/media room, finally starting to see real changes...🙂

You can see some of the cables coming from the first floor already, left top corner!

Thank you for such a detailed post and pics. Looks really amazing and equipped. I am currently in search of linkto do similar work with it. My wife is from there and wants to come back to live in her motherland. But I will for sure need to rebuild the whole property to be of my standard ))) 

 

Hi Qatari, great to hear from you. Sounds exciting, the weather certainly is a big factor, Lisbon is also quite OK over Spring and Summer, but I have to tell you, right now, it's way too cold! Of course other parts of Europe are way worse...:(

Will keep you all posted, right now it's a slow process, nothing too exciting happening, but I am expecting a visit from the local B&O guy on Monday, should have news then, you guys have a great weekend!

Hi there,

A little update, had the visit of the local B&O guy and I have now a pretty real idea of how the entire set up will be. Much goes along with what you guys have suggested and advised, it was more the fact that I needed to get a grasp on site of the whole setup.

I have put together a PDF of the plant as Steven suggested (thank you so much!), where I placed all of the equipment in its actual locations. The whole system will be interconnected as it follows:

Beosound Core (10) - these will create the zones

Beoamp16 and 2 - these will assist with powering the passive speakers (thank you Kiran, Robin, Andybandy)

AV Receiver - this will permit to control the various sources in the cinema room (5.1)

Overture - due to the limitation of the analogue, I will limit this particular system to the nearest speakers

Beosound 9000 - this will be linked to every speaker

Beosound Moment - will be installed and looking for better integration to come, such as pull up of all zones, assign sources to them, etc (there has been great software upgrades since it's launch, but still room for improvement)

Since the Moment will not act as a real master system, most of the controlling will be done via the apps, voice (Alexa/Google) and the Home Automation panels throughout the house

I hope this makes sense, to most of you it was always a no brainer, I trust the information will help those like myself, new to this or just looking to upgrade and not really sure how to go about.

Feel free to comment/rectify or even suggest. This is my current vision, should a new product launch meantime, maybe there will be changes.

Thank you all and I will continue to update you has the works progress. Login to view image

Hi Bruno,

This looks good!  If you connect the Ouverture into one Core and the Beosound 9000 into another Core (via the 3.5mm optical/analogue input on the Core) then you can play music from these systems to any speakers in the house easily.

If you look for an AV receiver that has pre-out sockets fitted for all audio channels, this will make it easier to connect to your Beolab speakers for surround sound.

Please ask if you need any help with cabling and I will be pleased to assist.  I look forward to hearing more details of the project as it progresses!

Kind regards, Steve.

Impressive project 🙂

Just some advise regarding Moment that I also own. The product is discontinued so there are no further development on the software other than silent updates to keep eg Tunein and Deezer going. As you state the latest major sw version was a great improvement.

You will not be able to control zones from Moment. You will however be able to join in on what is playing on the other units in the house, but you have no control.

Great project. I like the theme and its drawn up.

cool. Look forward to seeing it progress.

Any progress?...

Hi Hiort, thanks for your advise, indeed the limitations are still many, it still puzzles me why this potentially great product never really received the love and functionality that it could have from B&O...but it's still quite an attractive piece and that is also something that I look for in this project, design
