Providing customized audio and video options to local Denver residents

DENVER, July 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Bang & Olufsen Cherry Creek, the Denver showroom of Bang & Olufsen, the Danish manufacturer of high end home theaters and custom, multi-room music systems, has partnered with 150 S. Madison, a new residential community that offers a new way of living with customized home interiors. The result is a residential nirvana located in the heart of Denver's prominent Cherry Creek neighborhood. The partnership is significant because it is the only one of its kind in the Greater Denver area and demonstrates Bang & Olufsen's many custom installation capabilities in both the business-to-consumer and business-to-business sectors. Bang & Olufsen Cherry Creek has pre-wired each of the 29 residential units for audio, video, home theater, and home automation and is the sole provider of the audio and video pre-wiring throughout the entire property.

The property exhibits strong attention to quality and design -- elements characteristic of both Bang & Olufsen and 150 S. Madison, making the partnership a perfect addition to the Cherry Creek neighborhood. The property presents an attractive residential complex that offers much more than just a place to live -- as it represents a complete, customized home tailored to one's lifestyle. Potential residents and investors can choose among several floor plans and Bang & Olufsen home entertainment pre-wire packages to suit each individual preference. Additionally, each unit at 150 S. Madison includes a $5000 retail credit at Bang & Olufsen Cherry Creek good toward any audio or video purchase of choice.

"We're very excited about our partnership with 150 S. Madison, both from a community and business perspective," said Setu Sen, Owner of Bang & Olufsen Cherry Creek. "As the sole Bang & Olufsen dealer in the Denver area, we are proud to now be able to deliver cutting-edge Bang & Olufsen products to this amazing new residential concept, giving people options like they've never had before."

"We've closely considered every detail in building 150 S. Madison, from its stone exterior that exudes old-world charm, to its interior that maximizes natural light and features standard finishes that would be considered upgrades at other residential developments," said Gary Upperman, Partner of Madison Bayaud Partnership. "Most notable of these amenities is the Bang & Olufsen pre-wiring in every unit, providing vast possibilities to create a customized home technology setup for each individual taste. This boutique building will set the tone for future residential developments -- appealing to the true sense of luxury living."

Residents can choose between two different floor plans -- Floor Plan 1, smaller units between 1300-1400 sq. ft. located on the first and second floors, or Floor Plan 2, larger Penthouse units between 2500-2700 sq. ft. located on the third floor. From there, the home entertainment options are infinite, and include a variety of packages ranging from basic audio to complete multi-room integration systems.

     audio system and pair of BeoLab loudspeakers to position as they wish
     in their home.
  2) The Audio Upgrade Package adds BeoLink -- Bang & Olufsen's multi-room
     audio network that seamlessly distributes music in a non-invasive,

All units are pre-wired by Bang & Olufsen to accommodate the extent of audio/video and home automation capabilities that residents could want. Additionally, options are available for integration of various environmental controls such as draperies and lighting. Therefore, even if customers initially invest in the Basic Audio Package, they can always upgrade to any system at a later date if they wish.
