UK - FX Technical Services, part of the FX Group, has recently completed an exclusive install of a Linn Knekt Multiroom system at Butlers Wharf - a private penthouse complex overlooking London's River Thames. One of its properties has recently undergone an extensive rebuild and FX Technical Services was called upon by the project's architect to install a sound system that would complement the flat's exclusivity.

The system comprises a Linn Kivor multi-output hard disc audio player, a Linn FM/AM tuner, a Sky plasma screen and Linn and BW speakers, both free-standing and ceiling-mounted. The system allows the hi-fi to be controlled from any room in the house with the minimum amount of equipment in each room. The team were also able to lay down the necessary cables before the flat was decorated and thus the install was completely unobtrusive to the overall design of the property.

This particular system was specified, says Paul Rushbrooke, manager of FX Technical Services: "Because it is very elegant and the sound quality is very high. We had to meet the owner of the property, who specified exactly what he wanted and where. This information allowed us to select the most suitable system for the job. The Linn Knekt Multiroom system was a natural choice."

The architect for this project recommended FX Technical Services for the install following a successful install in a Baltic restaurant, based in Waterloo, in 2002.
