cheaper and stronger yes, but don't look half as good

For the Kotuku fan, beside nice design and low power consumption, any other benefits to justify the higher price? Need to convince CFO for the purchase. Thanks.

Stylo...

For those sending me pm about prices, it's all estimated as my guy sources for them in his package.

Kotoku fan

Height speakers

Suspended from the top cabinet, which uses hydraulic struts, just like a hatchback:

car.

Feature wall, shown with lighting at the bottom, which allows the back of the console to be illuminated.

My hubby and I also like the Kotoku fan as well - we love it at the first sight but due to budget constraint and worry about the HDB ceiling issue - we have to give it up..love the fan

What the MK plugs look like:

15m HDMI cable from LHS in Sim Lim Tower - for long length HDMI cables, you will need a quality cable, High Speed rated. This is DIRT Cheap at $170. My Audioquest 3m HDMI cable (Blu Ray player to Amp) already costs more...

Lighting under the console, to allow you to see the back of the console:

Surround Speaker Monitor Audio HD 90, mounted on the cabinet door. This door is hydraulic and dampened to prevent vibrations.

The dining area ceiling:

Cabinet door:

Shelf for surround speakers, made from Ikea shelving, reinforced with Maxbond silicon seal to prevent the shelf from vibrating.

How do you mount the Monitor Audio speakers to the brackets? Do you drill holes on the speakers? I intend to mount two small surround speakers to the false ceiling but not sure how to do it.

[petetherock 13]

I suggest you read the manual of your speakers for mounting options.

Mine come with their own mounts and how it is done.

Polishing...

It's a race to meet the dinner gathering tomorrow!

The bed from Maxcoil, with the Nyatoh wood frame and hydraulic... Small mistake... the bed is a bit too tall..

From AaFrenz in AMK. The model is "New Haven".

More pics of the wall:

The console is in today...

Another snafu... the wall plugs are installed too high...

My dining area wall... with the Sunkiss painted back panels of the Billy Bookcases...

Anyone knows where I can buy some furniture sliders? I need to shift my rather heavy console around...

Hi Pete, I like this kind of ceiling lamps. Simply and nice. May I know where you bought it? I'm looking for other similar designs. Thanks.

[petetherock 13]

Hi Erwin I posted the answer earlier... Have a look cheers.

[petetherock 13]

The screen and feature are both done.... and my speakers are in place...

Make sure you labelled all your banana plugs - especially if you have 11 speakers!

I added sliders to the bottom of my console, allowing it to slide, and I pulled it out, then installed the cables, before pushing it back to be flush against the feature wall.

Silent continuous movement clock (no ticking) with temperature and humidity indicator:

Tin Tin on my door!

From ebay, about $20 including shipping.
