I am surprised you did not do lighting over the cabinets in the kitchen - that was something my wife had to get for ours.

the Crestron does control lighting in the living room as well as in the theater.

As former AMX customers, we are very happy with the Crestron system. It is expensive to have the programer come out and make changes but the in-wall keypad gives me a chance to access my ReQuest server right as I walk in the door thus setting the mood for my home as soon as I get in. I normally just use the Lutron Grafic Eye to set the lights but the Crestron can do that too.

That is very convenient Jerry. Seems you prefer the Crestron, to the AMX system? Which would you give the nod to? I know that is a tricky question, for they are in head to head competition. And, I`m sure you have reviewed both systems.

You know, after another look, jack and karen Sumner `s home is nice. I`m talking the equipment, Wilson Watt puppies, Alexandrias, the ultimate!!

You can't compare Jack and Karen's house to mine. They can buy and sell a schmuck like me!!!!

At least I use Karen's cables...
