For legendary blues guitarist BB King, the thrill isn’t gone when it comes to touring. The 83-year-old “King of the Blues” is still on the road with his famous Gibson guitar “Lucille” performing 100 concerts per year.

King rides in a $1.4 million, 45–foot luxury motorcoach that has more than $200,000 worth of electronics inside, making it a center of inspiration for laying down tracks, reviewing audio and video,… View this story

This home’s a good example of a custom electronics pro at work. Large home, working parents, three children, basic subsystems to integrate, and easy operation required for everyone. Illinois-based CE pro Architectural Audio & Video pulled it off without a hitch, and the benefits of home technology have been great for this happy family. “The homeowners of this project are both working professionals with three young children, which made their needs very easy to explain. They wanted a system that was simple, automated, and highly… View this story

Of all the cool home electronics, the one system that strikes a chord with nearly every homeowner is whole-house music. “With all the options available, multiroom audio is still the most sought-after electronic home upgrade,” says Rick Ho of London Audio in Ontario, Canada. “A great sounding and easy-to-use system will often be played from morning till night.”  It’s easy to see the appeal. With just a touch of a button, your favorite music can follow you throughout your house—and you won’t have to blast… View this story

Kaleidescape makes one of the coolest entertainment systems around. If you haven’t seen it or heard about it, you’ll definitely want to check it out (www.kaleidescape.com). It’ll make even the biggest collection of movies, music and digital photography a cinch to manage and enjoy. Unfortunately, the system is expensive, so not everyone can afford it. There are economical alternatives, fortunately. You’ll just need to find a custom electronics firm that’s willing to get a little creative. D.J.

You can say a lot of nice things about my house. It’s uniquely laid out. It’s spacious. It has an awesome view. But it’s definitely no high-tech wonderland. Built in the early 80s, it boasts no high-speed wiring network to support much of anything. Yes, I could always pay to have Category 5 routed throughout, but based on the obstacles we ran into when having satellite system wired up, I’d rather not. My poor broom closet has more holes in it than a slice of… View this story

This Orlando-area home installation is all about ease of use. After all, the last thing these homeowners wanted after their previous home was destroyed by water damage, was any headaches from their electronics and automation systems. If there was any silver lining in that water damage, it was that it did give them an opportunity to rebuild. And that meant including such technological benefits to enhance their daily lives. Local custom electronics pro MillenniumWaves wound up working with Sorenson Construction and Jim Ross of Ross… View this story
