New York Yankees pitchers, C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett have really done a phenomenal job with their homes. Check it out:
San Mateo, Calif.-based Sights & Sounds outfitted C.C. Sabathia’s Northern California abode. Inside C.C.’s cabana is a sports lover’s dream, in the form of a five-display video wall with a sports ticker above and a 2,500-watt Linn surround system. One 61-inch NEC LCD display is flanked by four 45-inch Sharp LCDs, and each screen is served by its own DirecTV HD satellite receiver.
The 104-inch Stewart Filmscreen superwide display in A.J.‘s theater room shows movies shot in the CinemaScope (2.35:1 aspect ratio) without the pesky black bars on top and bottom, while a Crestron 8.4-inch WiFi Touchpanel (on counter) operates the audio and video systems. The team at Gramophone in Timonium, Md., put together this project.
A 45-inch Sharp Aquos LCD HDTV helps illuminate C.C.’s patio area off a backyard cabana. His backyard is an outdoor entertainment utopia, complete with outdoor sound, video, a pool, grotto, grill and dining areas.
The grotto area grotto spa features a SunBriteTV outdoor-rated LCD TV tucked into a waterfall hideout.
This theater had to accommodate A.J. Burnett who is 6-foot-4, so the ceiling-mounted Runco VX-2000D 1080p projector was hung over the bar. Big theater sound comes from a combination of B&W speakers, Velodyne subwoofers and McIntosh electronics.
A lobby and concession stand leads one into Burnett’s theater. Though it seems a natural extension of the theater, the lobby was actually an afterthought. After doing the theater, the installers thought it would be a crime not to add a lobby
