Plasma Mounted Over Fireplace Offers Clean Look

In-wall speakers and a plasma mounted over the fireplace keep A/V from compromising this room's design.

Beautiful hardwood floors, 22-foot vaulted ceilings and a grand piano ... and how exactly do you want your electronics not to intrude on this elegance?

These homeowners wanted a clean look and a high-quality sound to their audio/video, which wasn’t exactly easy to do in their finely furnished family room, as installer Snap Audio & Video of Havelock, NC, can attest. And of course, they also wanted as big a plasma as they could get to place on their fireplace without doing any additional framing to it.

For the television, Snap gave them a 50-inch LG plasma that looks like it was made for the homeowners’ fireplace.
