8 Shipping Containers Equal 1 Family Home
Like deep dish pizza, prop comics, and nude beaches, there seems to be no gray area when it comes to shipping container homes: some people truly love them while others despise them. Maybe it's the setting or the cherry red exterior, but I find this one compellingly livable. What do you think? Is this home a compelling example of adaptive reuse? Or is it the Carrot Top of sustainable architecture?
Constructed by architect Patrick Partouche, this 2,200 sq. ft. single family home in the countryside of France is comprised of 8 shipping containers that have been adapted to comply with local building regulations. Much of the corrugated sheeting was removed from the exterior of the containers and replaced with polycarbonate and glass bay windows with low-e coating to provide maximum natural light. The exterior doors, which span the upper and lower levels, can be opened and closed to customize the amount of privacy and light desired by the homeowners.
According to Designboom, the interior is a mix of "galvanized steel, poppy red columns and wood" that work to create an "industrial atmosphere" preferred by the home owners. They also chose to re-use the corrugated sheets as decorative elements throughout the home.
Aside from the grate walk featured in the upstairs portion of the home (walking barefoot on that = ouch!), I love the suffusion of natural light and loft-like feel. It's also hard to knock the concept of taking something like unused shipping crates, which create environmental hazards when left abandoned, and repurposing them into something functional. But I still don't like Carrot Top.

I would totally live there! so awesome!
I want one!
I like the idea of using existing materials, but those walkways would not be good for a pet at all.
I am smack dab in the gray area on this one. It's cooler than Carrot Top, but nowhere near the level of awesomeness of prop comics. O.o I like the idea. I like the sustainability. I like the light. But I don't like the industrial feel, and I'm wondering if there's a way to soften the whole look of the place up.
I love container houses, this is an interesting expression of what can be done with them.
Concept: LOVE. Interior: LOVE. Exterior:...not so much. It literally looks thrown together, and the banged-up steel makes it look rough and cheap. But the interior is gorgous and looks so polished.
Love the interior, not crazy about the exterior. I think it would be great as a vacation home, I couldn't use as my permanent home though.
Awesome, if you live in a mild climate. Northeast, maybe not that brilliant of an idea. I have no idea how you'd increase the R-value of a structure like this.
I love the idea that these were shipping containers. Very cool, but include some prices!
I love the interior spaces, and the grate flooring is easy enough to change, I'm really not loving the exterior. I want to see one of these truly done in an aesthetically-pleasing way on the outside (and my brain's already ticking off ideas). Hasn't anyone challenged architectural students to make these more 'beautiful' as a class assignment?
I love traditional architecture but, looking at shipping container homes I realize the big bucks I'm paying for it, it seems like I'm wasting time & money. So I would absolutely consider living in a container home because it would mean - for me - retiring well ahead of schedule and getting to do exactly what I want to do with my time.
Architecture smarchitecture!
It looks really cool, but how well insulated is it?
I love these houses, but it seems to me that the joy of them is working with the existing block structures and embracing that rather than just cutting all the sides out and making them open plan. I think you lose what it is that makes them great in the first place, ready-made, structural, building blocks. I think if I were to live in one, I'd want it to look more unashamedly container like, you know? Also I think it would be criminal not to have a shipping themed room, please tell me they have one somewhere.
That aside, it's great that people are building with them and making them into proper homes. And it would be so easy to add an extension, or lose a room when you don't need it anymore. Great.
To jennysilentg: here's one that's been built north of the border (they used spray insulation) http://www.lowimpactliving.com/blog/2009/07/07/affordable-shipping-container-house-in-quebec/
It's a sustainable and less expensive way to build a house - very tempting!
Judging by the finishes shown of the interiors it probably ended up costing as much to construct this home as one would spend building a conventional structure. I think it would be better just to recycle the metal shipping containers by melting them down rather trying to build ugly houses out of them. They don't work and you have to add so much to them to make them habitable that there really is no net gain here.
Besides the cost of the property, how much does it cost to make this happen. I've heard the containers themselves are fairly inexpensive, is this true?
does anyone have a guess what type of flooring was used?
Love! i would definitely put some more rugs on the walkways though..make it a bit more warmer and more easy to walk on.
Unfortunately, this looks like 8 shipping containers stacked on top of each other. The idea is pretty cool, but the result usually ends up looking contrived and the cost not so affordable.
I'd like to see an example of a shipping container home that actually makes sense (i.e. form follows function). Maybe an affordable housing infill project where the containers are arranged in such a way as to afford privacy in a small footprint using cheaper materials. Or maybe a glorified shed that is more cost effective than the modern sheds you see available online. I remember seeing one example where shipping containers were used to fill in a narrow space between buildings. That made sense.
As it is, the interior space is pretty nice. Airy and loft/office building/modern like. The bedrooms a bit claustrophobic. The exterior not so attractive. I feel bad for the neighbors.
Yeah, I hate the exterior - those original doors from the shipping container - why?
Such a great idea and I could totally live in one of them.
OK, especially if it were in the French countryside.
I think this is great! What is "ugly" and industrial to some people looks fantastic to others. Rude posters, you don't speak for everyone when you say this house is ugly.
Just like any home, some like cottages or farmhouses where others like to think out of the box. What I don't think people realize is that every state has a few container homes, some more than others. We are building one (cottonwoodmeadow.com) and the shipping containers are starting to arrive today. After talking to the guys that deal with the containers, these homes are EVERYWHERE!
Container homes have tons of benefits beyond recycling, fire protection, strength, cool, unusual interiors (or exteriors depending on how you insulate). They are just another fantastic way to build a house that doesn't look like your neighbor or burn to the ground in 10 minutes. I particularly love this house and I featured it on my blag last week, its brilliant.
I don't love the color, but I love the design. Many of the designs for shipping containers I've seen give me the impression of single-occupancy or for young-couples with no children. This, on the other hand, seems like it would make a good, and kind of fun, home for a small family.
I do love the whole take on shipping containers built into homes. I love this one, even though it is a bit "industrial" inside than I would personally build for myself. I really love all the modern touches.
While I like using material from the outside for other uses inside, that boys bed would hurt like a mother if you caught your shin on the edge of it.
I'd be interested to know the budget for a place like that. Is it actually cheaper?
I don't really like the exterior that much. I get the 'designy' aspect of off-setting the containers, but I would prefer a more traditional box with a roof on it, sort of shape.
Shipping containers frequently become housing for troops while on deployment. I think anyone who has had to live in one of these in the desert with no insulation would shy away from living in one at home, no matter how nicely appointed.
I'd take this home over any boring northeast Victorian any day. I think its beautiful inside and out.
I think I'd want a physical tour to decide. It looks nice inside, although more industrial than I prefer -- kind of like a loft. The exterior doesn't bother me. But I go barefoot a lot, so grate flooring wouldn't work for me, and I wonder how opaque flooring would change the interior lighting and general dynamic. I'd be concerned about acoustics and temperature control, and by adding all that glass, I can't believe there would be much ecological or cost advantage to the project. So my reaction is mixed. I like the aesthetic and the concept, but only if it really works as advertised!
I, too, would love to know about the cost. Even if the containers themselves are free (are they?), it seems like shipping them to the site, stacking them, securing them, etc. would be costly. Hopefully not, though!
This is a pretty cool application and reuse of materials. I like the red exterior and the offsetting of the containers.
This is interesting - it's not quite my style but I do love the staircase and landing. I've also seen shipping containers used as student housing on this IKEA post: http://www.ikeafamilylive.com/en/home-story/living-in-a-box-24.
My dad's best friend lived in a shipping container for awhile, needless to say it was not so fancy and was located in my great grandmothers back garden.
Looks like a candidate for Unhappy Hipsters (http://unhappyhipsters.com/)
My bare feet hurt just looking at those floors. Interesting concept, but I've seen more elegant expressions of the shipping-container dwelling. Personally, I'd rather live in an old boxcar, like the Boxcar Children ...
Cost of building with shipping containers - it is NOT cheaper than building the old-fashioned way. Cost of containers has increased over the past 3 years as many container mfg have closed down due to the reduction in shipping goods. If you are building in an area with little to no building codes this could be a very cheap building option but with normal regulatory oversight and building codes, most container structures require reinforcing steel placement and the interior finish work is extensive so the savings in the core are negated.
We are building with containers for other reasons than cost - most of all because we are sick of traditional homes and like the recycled aspect. Our containers are 15yo and just got off a ship bringing goods from China....its an exciting process.
This really is different than any other shipping container house project I've seen in that it keeps the industrial look but not the hard edges. It's fun. I still like the idea of camouflaging the exterior but this is nice.
you think that's cool, you want to check out post-quake christchurch's shipping container mall! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by1B_32rkmk (look out for the very crooked hotel grand chancellor in the background, at the beginning of its deconstruction stage)

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Definitive Technology StudioMonitor 55 by Dave Bar Why choose bookshelf speakers? Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers. Get rich sound from a compact bookshelf design Don't let the StudioMonitor 55's size fool you — this compact bookshelf speaker belts out big bass that adds depth and richness to your movie soundtracks and stereo music. Each rock-solid cabinet features an advanced 6-1/2" mid/bass driver that's pressure-coupled to a top-mounted bass radiator for high-impact sound. Together, they provide more total bass radiating area than a 10" woofer, but with greater control, definition and speed than a single large cone. A 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter serves up crisp, extended highs that blend in beautifully with the mids and lows. The StudioMonitor 55 is the result of more than 20 years of research and development by Definitive in their quest to create speakers with a perfect balance of style, utility, and performance. Definitive's second-generation patented BDSS driver High-tech driver design for impressive performance The StudioMonitor 55 is chock full of technology that's also found in Definitive's top-of-the-line speaker models. Its 6-1/2" mid/bass driver uses their latest Balanced Dual Surround System (BDSS) driver design, which places a surround on both the outer and inner edge of the speaker cone. This helps the cone remain more stable as it moves, resulting in clearer, more accurate sound — even at high volume levels. The '55's mid/bass driver also gets Definitive's second-generation Linear Response Waveguide™. This mushroom-shaped post in the center of the cone smooths off-axis frequency response for broad, even sound dispersion and a more realistic sonic "image." That means every listener in the room gets to hear balanced, open sound with lifelike vocals and instruments. A second-generation pure aluminum dome tweeter yields smooth, extended treble. Crisp, sparkling highs Definitive also equipped the StudioMonitor 55 with their latest 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter. This advanced driver is first heat-treated to relax the crystal structure of the metal, then coated with a ceramic that helps produce clear, sparkling highs without a trace of edginess. You'll easily hear the subtle high-frequency details in your music, like the sound of wire brushes gently sweeping the snare head, or the bell-like ring of a brass cymbal. A top-mounted bass radiator provides outstanding low-frequency response. It's all in the details Definitive paid close attention to other important design elements, too — both visible and hidden. At its heart, the StudioMonitor 55 uses a sophisticated crossover network with audiophile-grade components that include over-sized inductor coils and Mylar film capacitors. These give you a smoother, flatter frequency response, more powerful dynamics, and faster transients, for sound with real presence and immediacy. Sturdy, vault-like cabinet construction also plays a big role in this speaker's performance. The '55's well-damped, cross-braced enclosure features a specially contoured front baffle with tapered sides to minimize diffraction and vibrations that can color your sound and reduce accuracy. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center. Shop our selection of speaker wire. Did you know? Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Driver Technology Enclosure Design Connections Mounting Options Driver Technology StudioMonitor Series: The Definitive Technology StudioMonitor 55 is a compact bookshelf loudspeaker designed for use in audio/video entertainment systems. Because the StudioMonitor 55 is a true full-range speaker with extended low-frequency response, it delivers superb performance both as stand-alone speaker and when combined with a separate subwoofer. Due to its compact size, wide-range, high-power handling, and natural articulate clarity; the StudioMonitor 55 loudspeaker is ideal for use as front, center, or surround speaker in a home theater environment. 2-Way Loudspeaker: Each Definitive Technology StudioMonitor 55 loudspeaker features a 6.5" second generation BDSS cast-aluminum basket midrange driver and a 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter. 2nd Generation BDSS Midrange: The 6.5" cast-aluminum basket midrange driver features Definitive's patented Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) technology that supports the speaker cone at both the inner and outer edges allowing longer, more linear excursion for greater clarity and finely textured inner detail. Pure Aluminum Dome Tweeter: The 1" tweeter is a pure aluminum dome, which has been heat-treated to relax the crystal structure and then coated with a ceramic to produce smooth, extended highs. A new patent pending Linear Response Waveguide smoothes off-axis frequency response and disperses sound over a wider area for crystal clear intelligibility for every listener in the room. Pressure Coupled Radiator Design: The 6.5" BDSS midrange driver is pressure coupled to a top-mounted 6"x10" racetrack bass radiator to extend and amplify bass frequencies. The total bass radiating from a StudioMonitor 55 is substantially greater than that of a single 10-inch woofer but with far greater control, definition and speed than a single sluggish large woofer. The StudioMonitor 55 speaker's bass performance offers depth, detail, and musicality. Note: Due to the top-mounted racetrack bass radiator, there should be at least 2" of space above the bookshelf loudspeaker. Phase-Coherent Crossover Networks: The crossover network is the real heart of a loudspeaker as it is responsible for perfectly blending together the sound of the various drivers into a musically seamless whole. The sophisticated crossover network design used in the StudioMonitor 55 loudspeaker features premium audiophile-grade components; such as oversized inductors and Mylar capacitors for audiophile-grade sound quality, with linear phase and frequency response. An integrated Zobel network flattens the impedance of the system so that even budget amplifiers will be able to drive the StudioMonitor 55 loudspeaker (although a premium amplifier will bring out all the performance it has to offer). As a result, the audio signal's phase coherence, transient response, and dynamic integrity is preserved for absolutely lifelike music and home theater reproduction in your home. Enclosure Design Non-Resonant/Low-Diffraction Cabinet: The Definitive Technology StudioMonitor 55 bookshelf loudspeaker employs a non-resonant MDF braced enclosure that ensures pure, uncolored performance. The specially contoured high-gloss baffle around the drivers and the tapered enclosure sides enhance sound quality by minimizing diffraction distortion. Connections Bi-amp/Bi-wire Binding Posts: Each StudioMonitor 55 bookshelf loudspeaker has two sets of heavy-duty, all metal binding post speaker terminals (connected by metal jumpers) to attach your receiver's speaker wire. Using the dual binding posts, you can bi-amp or bi-wire the speakers for even better sound. The binding post speaker terminals will accept bare wire (up to 10AWG), pin-connectors, spade-connectors, and banana-plugs (single only). Color-Coded: The speaker's binding posts are color-coded (red/black) for easy identification between positive and negative. Mounting Options Table-Top Mounting: The StudioMonitor 55 loudspeaker can be simply placed on a bookshelf, table-top, or speaker stand (such as the Definitive Technology StudioStand, sold separately ). Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included to protect your furniture's surface. Wall Mounting: The optional PinPoint heavy duty side-grip wall-mounting bracket (121AM40B, sold separately) can be used to wall mount the speaker. Note: The speaker does not include any type of wall-mount bracket, threaded inserts, or keyhole slots.

Moniter55 speakers have exlent sound. The highs and lows are produced very well. Very fine speakers. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 A Good Speaker Written By Andy, Colorado Springs, CC on Thursday, October 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a decent speaker, but when I compared to my older JBL T100 speakers it was no contest. The older JBs had all the highs etc. of this speaker, but way more 'body'. I carefully AB'd these 55s with the JBLs they just did not make the cut, even with my sub. Pros: Size evidently still matters leaving these speaker woefully thin. Cons: Great size and possibly sound for much smaller room. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Definitive Technology StudioMonitor 55 Written By Judge Tom, Olney Maryland on Sunday, May 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is an outstanding product . I replaced two 30+ year old Infinity 48" high tower speakers each with double 10" push pull woofers with these mini monitors, in a 12 by 20 ft room with openings to a dining area and a hallway, and did not expect too much. I was astounded by these little gems in tandem with a MartinLogan Dynamo 700 sub. Even without the sub the bass was deep and room filling. With the sub they easily surpassed my old infinity monsters. I especially liked the fact that they are not ported and have a passive top radiator so my bass does not shoot out into the dining room and hallway as with a rear ported speaker.. Critical listeners have confirmed my evaluation. Delivery by Crutchfield was within 23 hours of my order. Pros: Outstanding quality and value for money. Cons: none 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 SM 55 Written By Antonio, Guaynabo, PR on Saturday, April 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Rediscovering my very well-recorded and extremely eclectic music collection on my new small(a bit less than 12' x 9') listening room. Paired to a quite nice turntable(on a solid wall mount), a beefy (150w/ch @ 8 ohms) made in Japan receiver and two very good cd players. Nothing "high-end"(marketing bull).just perfect placement (spikes on shelf, tweeters at ear level, seated, slight toe-in). Proper break-in. Attained the ideal of music reproduction: total intelligibility, a big soundstage, extended dynamic range and more than the occasional,watery-eyed goosebumps. These babes are mind boggling. Deep-flat bass, holographic presence of voices and instruments, sweet decay of cymbals and guitars... oh my...if music is a drug, as it is for me, these machines are akin to intravenous delivery devices. Pros: Premium floor-standing speaker sound for the size and price of merely good bookshelf's. (If that is not for you a breakthrough, my friend, consider sitting down and wait for cold fusion or world peace.) Cons: Kind of ugly without grilles, but the magic seems unaffected by them, they seem acoustically transparent. Anyway got the SM 55's for function, not form.The black finish on dimmed light makes them to visually disappear, which is good. Anyway I do not go out with them, but with my wife. Now, she not only looks good, but she LOVES our new small room. Was that kinky? You bet ! Remember college dorm? There you go. A good music room is the ultimate time machine. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

These speakers are worth the money, great sound for such a small speaker 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 A bargain Written By gnakasato, Louisville, KY on Sunday, December 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Outstanding speakers. Great sound reproduction with lots of bass. Very neutral without sounding too bright or too boomy. Absolutely no distortion even after cranking the volume of my amp all the way up (rated at "130W" per channel). I'm using them as free standing speakers on stands, and after using the amplifier microphone to use the Audyssey MultiEQ system to calibrate them, it detected them as "Full Range" speakers. Impressive. I still set the crossover at 60Hz, though, per the manufacturer recommendations, since I have a dedicated subwoofer for the lower frequencies (relieving the main amplifier from having to run those power hungry lower frequencies). Nice craftmanship. For the price, they are extremely hard to beat. Even more so if you get them at open box price. Pros: Great sound reproduction. For music and movies. Even when used as freestanding speakers. Cons: Size. A little deep for a standard "bookshelf". But form follows function. And that extra depth allows it to accomodate the top 10" passive radiator that gives it the capabily of full bass reproduction. So for "full range" speakers, they are actually "compact". 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I tested several bookshelf speakers to be used with a McIntosh Reciever area B stereo rated at 100W/channel. The DR set has a fuller range sound than any of the new Martin Logan and B&W offerings. For a set to be used with no sub the DR is it for me. Pros: Full sound Cons: None for a small room stereo application. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 studio 55 Written By ronq, phoenix, az on Thursday, August 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are relatively small in my opinion, but deliver terrific sound. I am using them as front right and left speakers and I am very pleased with them. Crutchfield had them at them at the going price. They delivered them very quickly. They were packaged safely and arrived without damage, and I had the peace of mind of having Crutchfield's guarantee. Pros: great sound, small package Cons: none 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Super performer, period. Written By VictorA, San German,PR. on Monday, June 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great performer, I`m using the SM-55 as my mains. The partner in crime for surrounds the sm-45, and together the SM`s work as one and with authority...not only has the bass response of a much larger speaker, it's a great-sounding speaker. The StudioMonitor 55s didn't seem to mind playing loud enough to rock out in my large loft space.... Great dynamics, imaging and soundstage. 100000 thumbs up Pros: Well Built, Heavy but still a beauty... Cons: None 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Solid Performance, expected quality Written By rwwaters, Los Angeles, CA on Wednesday, April 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These babies are exactly what I am looking for. I became acquainted with Definitive several years ago at Best Buy of all places... the 55s are great for the user who doesn't have a lot of space, but still wants room-filling, rich, and bright sound. I have these powered off a dinky NuForce Dia running in tandem with an older Definitive pair of ProCinemas for fuller sound space. Also have a Definitive sub powered from the Dia's line out. You could easily run these 55s by themselves, but the sub works for my taste. Pros: design, build quality, style, suave Cons: maybe a little large, but not really that large considering the sound you get from them 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good in Price Range, Not Great Written By Mike W, Knoxville, TN on Saturday, December 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall, these are very good speakers in this price range. I planned to use them for music only in a 2-channel system in my bedroom. I was pleased with the midrange and treble tonaility and detail. Bass extension was very good for this size of bookshelf speaker, due to the passive radiator on top, as other reviewers have mentioned. However, I was somewhat disappointed with the imaging and soundstage. Regardless of placement, it would never quite snap into focus. I had the entire short wall of the room to play with, but never found an optimal placement. I have replaced these with a pair of small floorstanding speakers that were very easy to place, and provide excellent imaging and soundstage depth. I'm going to try these as front speakers in my home theater system, a Def Tech Pro Cinema 600. Hopefully they will work well as an upgrade to those speakers. Pros: Excellent bass extension for bookshelf speaker, very dynamic, good mid and treble detail. Cons: Bass a little muddy, soundstage and imaging disappointing. 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 impressive sound Written By JWS, San Luis Obispo, CA on Sunday, October 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My old speaker towers needed replacing after a room remodel. Working with a Crutchfield adviser helped me get past my concern that the bookshelf speakers would not be an adequate substitute. These speakers are phenomenal. The 6.5 inch woofer provides plenty of bass (I do not have a subwoofer, and don't feel that I need one for classical music), and the aluminum tweeter gives ample high range, although I have to boost the treble on the amp to get a good balance. The design of the speaker produces bass from the top as well as the front, possibly explaining the remarkable force of the bass range. These speakers more than fill a large living room with cathedral ceiling and easily take the power beyond what is a comfortable listening volume. Top-notch performance at a reasonable price. Pros: compact design; excellent sound; reasonable price Cons: caution needed when handling to avoid damaging the front and top 16 out of 16 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great bookshelf speakers Written By BillW, Eugene, OR on Saturday, March 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I spent quite some time looking at a variety of bookshelf speakers prior to picking up a pair of these. I wanted a non-ported design that had decent lower end extension and these certainly fit the bill. While probably not suited for bass heavy Rap, electronica or dubstep they work great for the Jazz, Classical, Blues, Metal and Rock I've played through them. While there was some slight harshness initially to the highs but that mellowed after about 15 hours of use. Overall a great bookshelf speaker and I'm pleased with my choice. Pros: Beautiful cabinets, look great with grills on or off. Accurate with great sound and surprising low end from a bookshelf speaker. Cons: Not so much a con as a warning, be careful when removing the speaker from packaging. These speakers ship with the grills off, and the top grill covers the bass radiator. Recommendation when removing from packaging is to lift on the sides to avoid possible damage to speakers. 53 out of 54 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked What center channel are other customers using to match with SM 55? [ Carlos May 04, 2014 ] 4 answers "Definitive ProCenter 2000 (BK) Center Channel Speaker Item #: 735PCTR2KB" This is the speaker I used. I like it. Definitive may have some better speakers, but this is all my pocket book would stand at the moment. I use a Yamaha receiver to run my speakers. [ JAMES EDWARD May 06, 2014 ] As you should always match brands on all speakers for a multi-speaker setup, I suggest going to the Definitive Technology website and check out their center channel speakers. Something like the CS-8080HD, CS-8060HD, or CS-8040HD should blend nicely with the SM55 speaker, all which are available at Crutchfield. [ PHILIP May 05, 2014 ] I am using the Def Tech CS 8040 HD in my set up. I have SM 65's for the mains and SM 55's for surround. All work in perfect unison. [ ERIC May 05, 2014 ] Use the SM-65 in horizontal position. That's what I do and it sounds perfectly matched.

The Town Hall Hotel and Apartments is located in London's artsy East End. Striking design mixes Edwardian influences with 1930s art deco style and contemporary touches. This hotel first opened as a town hall in 1910 and many of the rooms, studios, and apartments have original period details. All rooms have free Wi-Fi and iPod docks. Bathrooms are especially luxurious, most with soaking tubs and separate walk-in showers. Vintage furniture and modern kitchens make these loft-style rooms both functional and inviting. Hotel amenities include a nice indoor pool, a fitness room, and a stylish Michelin-rated restaurant. While some guests might feel that the location is isolated from London's top attractions, the Town Hall Hotel offers great value for money in a hip neighborhood.
The 282-room Royal Horseguards offers classic Victorian architecture and modern amenities in a five-star luxury setting with views of the London Eye and the Thames River. Ornate sculpting, stunning high ceilings, and romantic archways are all dominant elements that complement a rich history -- the Royal Horseguards housed the Secret Service during World War I. The hotel, with a horse guards theme throughout, connects to One Whitehall Place, the palatial meeting and events space.
Elegant and eclectic, this 74-room luxury boutique hotel set in the heart of London's City District has been converted from an original Victorian banking hall, and retains stunningly beautiful period features. With elegant common spaces, abundant luxury amenities, and warmly inviting rooms, it doesn't seem as if there's much to fault at this hotel, but guests have complained about slow Wi-Fi.
This hip boutique hotel owned by the high-profile D+D restaurant group exudes stylish luxury, with impeccable design elements and dark, sexy public spaces. The boutique's interiors, which were designed by the prestigious Conran + Partners, offer unique touches such as edgy artwork created specifically for the hotel. With its professional and friendly service and Michelin-star restaurant, it's hard to find fault with South Place Hotel -- except maybe the hefty price tag.
Featuring only 29 rooms, this quaint-and-cozy boutique hotel offers an inviting, intimate experience in the middle of the posh residential neighborhood of Knightsbridge. As to be expected with a tiny boutique hotel, rooms lack extra space, but the decor is fresh and modern with neutral colors and the occasional designer-like touch (like stacked glass-ball lamps and pretty patterned wallpaper) -- though the random uninspired watercolor paintings feel a bit misplaced. Perhaps because of the surrounding area, rooms rates are here are above average despite the fact that rooms are missing some basic amenities (like a mini bar). But the free daily traditional English cream tea with homemade scones and the open bar in the evenings are definite perks.
The Royal Garden Hotel is a busy and vibrant 396-room option located in the heart of Kensington. Sophisticated, contemporary rooms are spacious with big flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, minibars, and (mostly) king-size beds. Some rooms have beautiful views overlooking Hyde Park while all have upscale bathrooms and tea/coffee facilities. Hotel features include a fitness center with kickboxing and Latin dance classes, a spa with a range of treatments, and two restaurants -- the ground-floor Park Terrace restaurant and the 10th-floor gourmet Chinese restaurant, Min Jiang. There is also a great hotel bar, Bertie's Bar. A five-minute walk from the nearest tube station, this hotel is a good pick for its Kensington location and chic modern style.
Known for its celebrity sightings -- Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and various high-earning soccer players have been spotted at the Mayfair -- its A-list bar, casino, and private theater known to host red carpet events, the five-star May Fair is luxurious and prestigious but without the stuffy pomp and circumstance of some of its neighboring competitors. Its 400 rooms, including 12 suites, are lavish yet playful, and a vast array of meeting rooms cater to business guests.
The Montcalm at the Brewery is a stunning five-pearl hotel located at the northern edge of London's Square Mile, just across the street from the famous Barbican Centre for performing arts. The hotel is housed in a historically protected building that was once a brewery. The 236 modern rooms have purple and green decor, and the extensive features include a fine dining restaurant, a casual, quirky gastropub, and a wellness area. Its financial district location is a bit far from most tourist sights, making it better suited for business travelers.
The central, exclusive Metropolitan Hotel is located at the nexus of Hyde Park, Knightsbridge, and Mayfair. Known for the excellent Michelin-rated restaurant Nobu and nightlife hot spot Met Bar, this hotel is a chic, upscale option. Rooms are sunny and spacious with flat-screen TVs and iPod docks, and the contemporary lobby is home to a knowledgeable concierge service. The small, but well-equipped spa and fitness center along with free Wi-Fi are perks here, but rates are pricey and room amenities are limited for this price point.
Luxurious, stately, and composed, this 380-room hotel projects an air of exclusivity. Certain amenities seem meager for a five-pearl luxury brand, however -- even the "complimentary" evening champagne is offered in conservative amounts and presented with a full champagne menu, presumably to encourage extra spending. But for a certain quintessentially English air of prestige without the usual pretension, and a premier location for West End shopping, this is a good place to be. The ultra-luxurious Chuan Spa, 16-meter pool, and salt sauna don't hurt its high-end credentials either.

Riding through the rain and cold in a breakaway for part of Friday's stage of Pais Vasco, BMC Racing Team's Marco Pinotti was rewarded for his efforts with the green jersey of intermediate sprints leader.
Won Two Sprints
Pinotti was part of a nine-man breakaway that that formed about 60 from the finish of the 183 km race. Though his group was never given much freedom, Pinotti won two intermediate sprints and was second on a third to earn the special classification jersey with only a final time trial remaining. Pinotti said he didn't have the energy to follow an attack by Robert Kiserlovski (Astana Pro Team) on a climb with about 20 km to go. "It was such a hard day," Pinotti said. "He (Kiserlovski) attacked on the hardest part of the climb. I tried to just keep my pace, otherwise I would have bonked." Ultimately, Kiserlovski finished third as Joaquim Rodríguez (Katusha) outsprinted Samuel Sánchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) to keep the overall lead. "It's too bad Kiserlovski was in that break because he was only 25 seconds off the lead," BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Max Sciandri said. "But the important thing was that Marco wanted to try a breakaway and that was great."
Cummings Injures Wrist
Three BMC Racing Team riders did not finish the rain-soaked race: Martin Kohler and Amaël Moinard due to stomach issues and Steve Cummings, who crashed after about 40 kms, injuring his left wrist. "I just saw a Saxo Bank guy hit the guy's wheel in front of him and then he fell in front of me," Cummings said. "I think my wrist took the brunt of it. I got back on and tried to go but I just couldn't hold the handlebars." BMC Racing Team Dr. Giovanni Ruffini said he will perform a detailed examination this weekend to determine the full extent of Cummings' injury. Already, Cummings has missed six weeks of racing after breaking his pelvis in a crash at Volta ao Algarve in February.

Comments about St. Louis Cardinals Rookie Kids Watch Black:
This was the perfect gift for a pre~teen who is a huge fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and a fantastic baseball player himself. I will purchase the same item again when his brothers' birthdays come around. LIDS has excellent customer service, & they were very helpful when it came to choosing this gift. I cannot say enough good things about this purchase and I certainly have no negative comments.
