ultra-luxury home cinema.

550-inch Display Technologies
screen fed by a Christie
Digital projector, good to fill
the big space that has a
seating capacity of 60.
With sound especially important
in this room, Macbee
incorporated a Dolby Atmos,
Auro 3D and DTS:X compliant
immersive audio setup
fueled by a powerful Trinnov
Altitude32 processor in an
astounding 21.6.10-channel
configuration featuring
K-array speakers. The room
was designed with dual
functionality with seamless
transitioning from a cinema
setup to an auditorium setup
for live performances.

with the results, Abel

cherry on top by upgrading
their turntable to a McIntosh

did not expect to get. "
With so many textures and
