This was such a fun project and we couldn’t be happier with the results. It’s a great place to share with family and friends and we love watching our children enjoy it. Sarkis- I can’t thank you enough for this incredible video. Totally blown away by your creativity and passion! So many amazing theaters you’ve featured. I love watching all of them and honored to be in such great company. Thank you again!
You are very welcome my friend, it my was pleasure and being a tiny part of this amazing space you have created is more than enough for me. Keep rocking and creating memories with your family and friends. Thank you for the kind words 😀 See you in the neighbourhood hehe.
@@joshuaganzermiller5213 This was one of the more overwhelming decisions. There are endless options with Palliser and multiple grades of fabric and leather that at the higher levels can be as much as the chair itself. This one again came down to budget and practicality. I have 2 little kids and didn’t want to spend a fortune on these so we went with a “leather look” option called Dax Charcoal that looks great, easy to clean and didn’t break the bank.
Great basement and theater! Ignore the height comments. Most people let rules of thumb ruin their experiences! They know very little about head occlusion when you have 3 to 4 seats and don''t understand how you can lose fidelity when you are ear level with two rows- little extra height can actually add to experience as long as they do not interfere with Atmos speakers. Great theater. Do you plan to get acoustic panel treatment. Artistic Geometry or GIK are two really good companies. Enjoy!!!
Thank you Mel. I had started looking at acoustic panels, a bit overwhelming to be honest. I was hoping to find something off the shelf that fit the space and I could do DIY but haven’t had much luck. Will likely have to look at custom options down the road.
Build a frame out of 2x4, go to a print shop and have them print your favorite movie characters/scenes/whatever on some fabric, wrap the fabric on the frame, fill the frame with insulation, enjoy cheap, custom panels :)
@@hstudio30 Zarks u going to do this to me? Bro, I would say the bar but, I wouldn’t end up in the theater because I would be to wasted. Lol. All kidding aside, THEATER of course!
This whole basement is epic. ❤🔥❤🔥 Alex thanks for allowing us into your home. I don't have the words to describe this magnificent space. It would be tour worthy without the theater.
For those who are upset with the height of the speakers: You haven't heard them . Neither have I. I will give the designers the benefit of the doubt. When you go to a commercial cinema the speakers are not at ear height either. Calibration really makes a huge difference. Also you can always appreciate this epic theater and politely ask WHY the speakers are not at ear height. People are always more receptive to a conversation when you start with positive comments first. Just my $.02
Nice way of saying his money, he did as he pleases. Simple fact of the matter is ALL audio formats recommend a certain speaker height, ear level, for a reason. Trinnov the king of room correction will tell you to lower those speakers. Any theater room designer worth their salt will tell you to lower those speakers. When building a room from scratch there is no excuse not to put the speakers in their most optimal position and not rely so much on room correction. Simple as that.
@@jjchmiel78 you won't get disagreement from me. I just think there is tactful way to go about it. He probably did not do as he please based upon the placement of the speakers. My guess would be the speaker placement was compromised by something in the wall at one spot which then it would/could make sense for all of the horizontal bed to be at or near the same height for panning effects. My guess would be either sewer or water which isn't easy to re-route. If the issue was in the front wall , could have built out a baffle wall but that would have decreased available space in the room. Every project comes with its own challenges, budget being one of them. Even in a space such as this there is still a budget. I had a bigger issue honestly with projector choice and not using separates for audio. My guess is with all the expenses of the rest of the basement you have to cut expenses down a little where you can.
Sometimes its not always about whats in the books, im sure it sound alot better than alot of peoples setups done by the books. Every room is different, every ear is different. I think if he had dropped the front speakers..he would have struggled with screen being too low? I guess we will hear from Alex soon. 👌🍻😉
@@hstudio30 Exactly. So many people's comments are really born out of resentment and jealousy. I am just happy he shared such an amazing space with us .
Well done👍 . We make a lot of home theaters in India & we really appreciate you people for your passion & showing quality content to people😊 starting from scratch the care you have taken to get the best outcome & treating acoustics well which is the crucial part of any home theatre to get the best sound experience it was more kind of facts . We wish you all the best from team USK Home Theatres Hyderabad India🙏
👌Triad and C4 👍👍, awesome theater. I just added 2 Omnisub 12s and man do these subs get low, matched with 5 Bronze LCR. But this makes me want to upgrade to the Silver series.
There is a glimpse of movie picture quality when speaking about the screen, as for gaming unfortunately there is no console gaming at this stage in the home theater room.
@@hstudio30 it's a good review just this guy has spent 100k on this setup. Would have been nice to see and hear the finished quality on a decent 4k camera and with a decent mic.
For sure Cody, unfortunately not only y.t sucks in quality of audio but ofcoarse music or movie copyright issues..but maybe someone can create something down the line..you might be onto something..😉👌
Another great tour of an amazing theater! An apartment while waiting for your new place... that's a good idea, technically I'm homeless as of next Wednesday when I close on the sale of my current house. Good news is I'm traveling for work at the moment so it doesn't matter. I'm planning on moving in or at least camping out in the new place when I return on 8/28 whether it's finished or not! It was supposed to be done in June so I'm tired of waiting!
@@hstudio30 I like the bar, I made my theater room as large as possible so I don't really have space left over to do anything quite that nice. I do at least have space for the exercise room however. Yes, shortages on labor and materials due to Covid have caused a lot of delays. I also think my builder was doing too many things in series instead of parallel. The tile guy was, "coming next week" for six weeks and in the mean time he didn't even call in the electricians. After I jumped on him about it, progress started being made and things got done while waiting for the tile. When I left on this trip, power was on and the septic was started last week. I'm hoping the plumbing will be working when I get back to Texas but there is a porta potty out front so I'm moving in regardless! The slab was poured last October, I'm really sick of waiting! The bank even called and said the construction loan expires Sept 17 so it needs to be done and certified so that loan can be converted to a mortgage. I have to say I'm really starting to get pissed off, it's really frustrating!
Holly shish man, seems like a nightmare that needs urgent attention!! Please make sure your ontop of things and not get screwed over. 🙏 hope to hear something positive in thr near future. 🍻
This is a bit off topic but, would you mind sharing the contractors used to finish the basement? We are in the Atlanta area and in the process of finishing our basement very impressed with the look of the basement.
@@hstudio30 everything honestly clean & simple. But I like the 16:9 133in over a 2:39. It’s more functionality in everyday life and it’s acoustically transparent. Also he went we Triad speakers not the normal brands. I really like the glass walled gym and classic vibe of the bar area paint choice. I just like it ALL hats off and I hope they enjoy their place fam!
*Great video. I am in the Atlanta area and I'm looking to do a very similar install. Can you please provide the contractor that completed the construction of this basement*
Nice details! Unfortunately, those front L/C/R are way too high. They are supposed to be aligned with the height of the screen. I suspect dialogue is too high, appearing like it comes from the sky, rather than actors’ mouths.
Enjoyable video, Sarkis. :-) I like the design and style of the bar and the home cinema. Personally, I’d have had the 7 bed-layer speakers significantly lower, including around ear height for the LCR, but I’m guessing they had their reasoning for the extra height. Nice job on the tidy rack. :-)
@@hstudio30 I think the whole layout rather than the actual home theatre. I can just picture myself entertaining friends and family down there and them being like "wow"... thisnis amazing. Have you got a fav so I can rewatch and check it out?
I think so 2, the entire basement is goals and for me the lounge area with cabinetry choice,colour combo and open windows all around is 👌 on the other hand the bar is next level. 🤩
@@hstudio30 especially when it looks like you can easily use the garden as well to entertain as well 😍 I'd personally not have a gym down there but everything is first class
Great looking theater!!! Curious if you know the room dimensions of the theater and the square footage of the basement. Would love to do something like this one day in my own basement
Pretty good but would go KRIX all the way. I mean pro home and commercial cinema there is NO COMPARISON us Aussies really get some things right. Keep up the good work!
How do you get 8K? That’s a 4K projector that cost half as much as the Sub-Zero wine fridge! Shows you where priories lie… personally, I would have spent $8K less on the wine fridge and instead got a much better projector, like a JVC NX9.
Again a gorgeous room but with no sound treatment. If you are designing a room, please dont skimp on sound treatment. Room correction tech on the receiver cant fix reflections and bass nulls. Bare walls with high decibel sound causes ear fatigue and even headaches.
Thank you Mike. Love having friends and family over to enjoy some whiskey and a movie. Definitely have the separate processor and amps on the wish list down the road.
Nice looking room but so frustrated with it. I just can't understand with all the money and effort to put something like this together, why IGNORE the audio format recommendations for best audio. It is not just this theater but so so many of these tours. They built it, yet still put the base layer of speakers way to high above ear level. Now they don't have proper height separation from the ceiling speakers, so they are not realizing the full potential of Atmos and DTSX. Proper placement would have had zero impact on cost, yet dramatically improve performance. Such a shame.
Thanks for the input mate, but sometimes its not always about whats in the book and specs, every room is different, every ear is different and sometimes you have to sacrifice sertain things in a build, which im sure Alex soon will reply with. What would you have done differently?
@@hstudio30 Since you ask: A 5:07 you see the speaker wall cutouts for the LCR with the tops being inline with the door jam meaning about 7 feet high. That would place the tweeter about 6' high. That is not quite, but almost double as high as they should be. At 6:11 you see the screen and the bottom is just above the subs and wall outlets. There is PLENTY of room to lower those closer to or at ear height like they are supposed to be. Behind the screen, custom built room, cost nothing more to place them properly, no excuse. At 5:37 you see the rears. Those should be dropped to where the bottoms are just above the back headrests. That is easily another foot. At 7:15 you see the same thing with the side surrounds. Those could have easily been dropped to be at same height as rears. Another thing I would try if I was the theater owner in that room is moving one of the subs to opposite rear corner and see if I could get better bass response. And then flip corners to see if doorway has an effect on which corners are used to give the room the best bass. Speakers being so high makes Atmos and DTSX a complete waste. There is no separation of effects. Might as well been all ceiling speakers. If placing speakers that high, save money and just do a good 7.1 setup. Basement is awesome, room is nice, speaker placement is a shame and such a waste because of free consideration and placement would have improved the room audio so dramatically. If you don't agree, please send manufacture literature where they recommend their speakers are best listened to off axis and their vertical dispersion is greater than their horizontal dispersion and where having the speakers 1 foot above with alone 3 feet above ear level is better. Yes sometimes compromises must be made. Youthman is a great example of having patio doors on one side and room entrance door in the way of the rear and placing speakers before the advent of Atmos. Custom built room from scratch affords one the opportunity to do it right. This owner is not alone. It is a repeated offense in these theater tours. It seems as if "look cool room we are going to place aesthetics above all else, damn the importance of audio in the theater" across so many UA-cam tours. It is a shame all that effort went into this and they end up compromising the audio so much. It can be fixed with some patch drywall work and paint.
Unfortunately we had a concrete foundation wall to contend with where the screen is located. It comes halfway up the wall. The Triad speakers required more clearance than we had available so we had to place the speakers higher than desired. I’m 8ft tall though and prefer to watch all my movies standing up so it works for me…🙂
I get where your coming from but its all up to the individual owners knowledge, taste, budget and list goes on..yes there are specs for better audio etc that should be followed but not everyone is into the books of things. Im sure if we sat in that room we would be still be blown away. These room tour videos are to share and inspire others, giving them ideas, it is NOT to educate them about right and wrong etc..hope this makes sense. 👍
This was such a fun project and we couldn’t be happier with the results. It’s a great place to share with family and friends and we love watching our children enjoy it.

What fabric/leather did you choose for the seats? I'm getting ready to order some Palliser Audios and am still debating on cover material.
Joshua what vibe you aimin for in the room?

Basement is awesome, room is nice, speaker placement is a shame and such a waste because of free consideration and placement would have improved the room audio so dramatically. If you don't agree, please send manufacture literature where they recommend their speakers are best listened to off axis and their vertical dispersion is greater than their horizontal dispersion and where having the speakers 1 foot above with alone 3 feet above ear level is better.
Yes sometimes compromises must be made. Youthman is a great example of having patio doors on one side and room entrance door in the way of the rear and placing speakers before the advent of Atmos. Custom built room from scratch affords one the opportunity to do it right. This owner is not alone. It is a repeated offense in these theater tours. It seems as if "look cool room we are going to place aesthetics above all else, damn the importance of audio in the theater" across so many UA-cam tours. It is a shame all that effort went into this and they end up compromising the audio so much. It can be fixed with some patch drywall work and paint.
Unfortunately we had a concrete foundation wall to contend with where the screen is located. It comes halfway up the wall. The Triad speakers required more clearance than we had available so we had to place the speakers higher than desired. I’m 8ft tall though and prefer to watch all my movies standing up so it works for me…🙂
I get where your coming from but its all up to the individual owners knowledge, taste, budget and list goes on..yes there are specs for better audio etc that should be followed but not everyone is into the books of things. Im sure if we sat in that room we would be still be blown away. These room tour videos are to share and inspire others, giving them ideas, it is NOT to educate them about right and wrong etc..hope this makes sense. 👍
