You need a room with soundproofing, a reception area with a giant hall, three to five staff members to control the bass in real time and 100 dollar pair of Klipsch promedia speakers.
This is the kind of organized chaos I can get behind
No $18 popcorn? I'm out
@@mephIncpopcorn here is unlimited and free. My team will caramelize it on demand.
Lmao real time bass control 😂😂😂
Good one! 😂
@@mephInc free popcorn to the first 7 left-handed guests
Your setup is next level, it deserves a dedicated room with proper acoustic treatment.
Thanks. Hopefully soon!
Jeez.. you came a long way 🤣
Brilliant!!! Very inspiring. I can truly appreciate how you have developed your content over the years. The little one in the background added a nice touch to the audio of this video 😊😊
Thanks! I wonder how many people realized it was her crying in the background 😅
Great Video, and tour of your setup. Absolutely beautiful & high performance setup!
Living room setup here. Would love a dedicated space, but also enjoy the fact that our living room is right in the middle of everything. No need to separate ourselves to enjoy it. Full PSA system with a 100” tv coming this year to put a button on everything.
Glad to see your videos again.
Very nice. That’s going to be amazing
I’m so glad you’re back at it. You make some of the best videos
WOW! theater has come a long way! Excited and happy for you my man!
It certainly has
Amazing system,looks awesome/mood lighting ❤
Preach!!!
That Parasound Amp is a real gem wow great choice . 😮👍
Great system. I'm glad to see you still have the Arendals. I've been thinking about ordering some.
Do it!
Live in an apartment. Got mine in living room. 7.2 setup with 100 inch projection screen. Really enjoy it
Nice!
Do you ever get noise complaints
Love that setup!!!
Amazing home theater!!! Great video.
Nice work! I started building my theater and your channel was one of the first channels I started watching for input… i watched you grow your home theater over the years. I started off with Pioneer AJs in a 5.1 set up and now I have all Focal Choras for bed layers in a 5.2.4 set up paired with HSU subs. Still looking to do some upgrades but overall I love my system! Thank you for this channel.
That’s incredible- gotta love that journey. Congrats, your system sounds like an awesome one!
@@tHAvIlLaMaN yeah the Focals have this sparkle to them I haven’t heard in other brands and somehow never fatiguing. Great for both music and movies.
sweet update and review, that's an amazing amount of tech in a den :) Room gain is your friend for sure!
You need the schiit syn surround machine for the quite times tv watching. It uses the Hafler effect circutry but with new features.
That is an aweesome system, I can imagine how those 1723 towers must sound like, I just got 5 channel Arendal setup with 1723 S towers, 1723 S Center and Bookshelf for rear surround. I'm really jealous on that Trinnov processor. I would really love to hear the difference in sound to see if it can justify the price.
Great work, totally agree with you :) Well done in an incredible setup!
Thanks! I’m betting you’re loving yours too! 🙌🏾
@@tHAvIlLaMaN sure am! I'm working on a new tour video now that it's completely finished :)
@@BuildMontage ahh nice, can’t wait to see it
Amazing, I’m happy for you, enjoy 😉
im sure this room sounds really good! would love to demo it one day! Congrats on all the great work! I would suggest moving from Harmony to Control4 when you're ready! It really is a better product and superior!
Basements/Dens make the best theater rooms just for the simple fact that you're usually somewhat below ground and have acoustic freedom.
Dope set up
Very impressive! How do you find the sound imaging as the doesn’t seem much separation on the bed layer and the Atmos speakers seem very far apart without using the tech to correct it? I know that is the point you are making, that you don’t have to have a dedicated cinema room to enjoy a great cinema experience, but you are using a lot of wizardry to do it lol. I did something similar in my living room installed a 7.1.4 setup with an LG77G2. I also put quite a bit of sound insulation in to the ceiling and party wall to help with keeping things quiet in the rest of the house. Overall I’m really pleased with it, though I had to make some compromises on certain speaker angles. My in ceiling speakers are approximately 30 degrees from the listening position, though I wish I had pushed the front ones out slightly to 35 degrees. It’s a modest setup by comparison, Denon X6700H, RSL C34E MKii in ceiling, CG23M (front LRC), CG3M side and rear surround and the Speedwoofer 10s MKii all which I had to import.
Yo Villa your setup is awesome brotha. Good to see you.
Thanks, man
I have installed last year a home theather setup in my living room with a Samsung lpst9t UST projector and Elite screen 123 alr/clr 3. A Paradigm prestige 5.1 setup and a pair of SVS prime elevation for Height speakers. Really happy with it:)
Awesome!
I'm thinking about getting a zappiti..I have a ub9000. I would like to switch movies on the fly without getting up..great setup im glad your enjoying it
Living room here. Not that I have the room but even if I did, I wouldn't want a dedicated room. I like having my room usable for more than just movies.
THANKS GREAT REVIEW
Congrats on the newborn!
Thank you!
Perfect 🎉
All the way to your 100k sub. Early congratulations. Soon you will get your silver plate. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Haha hopefully!
Wow. You will certainly enjoy trinnov answer to Dirac Art - managing unwanted low frequencies- this will give you dedicated theater room experience.
I see you have invested a lot - interesting to hear your comparison of trinnov to maestro - especially that the latter is no slouch either! Did the trinnov 3D placement correction make such big difference in your setup? Seems your in willing are like at 30 degrees and rear ones quite a bit closer.
Having zappiti makes Panasonic Blu-ray kind of redundant though 😅. Does zappiti has same image processing as the Panasonic? If not this is what you could be missing out on especially when using projector which typically has very little to none. I would think getting big tv will be your next move - 98/97” would make a big difference over projector screen - but they need to come down in price.
That's a sick setup man. Also just a fyi I got that stick or Ram RMA'd no problem. GSkill support was on point. The system is amazing thanks again!
Great to hear and glad you’re enjoying it!
Your definitely right. Not we all have a dedicated home theater so we gotta work with what we have so for me it’s one my two living room.
Ok brotha, now we need a new sound demo playing that ready player one as well as a music demo!
Amazing, i have the Zidoo 1000pro i wonder how the two brands compare? can you do some live demos of your system please
I have suggestions to fully optimize.
No corner seating. A straight 3 seater couch maximum. 2/3 room distance. Rears at 150 degrees. Side surrounds up to 100 degrees. Atmos 45 degrees elevation from ear level and you're sitting directly in the middle of all,4 of them. May end up on rear wall.
This is why it's not great to have a use projector and center speaker. It becomes too low.
Dark color walls etc.
The setup is almost perfect!
Please throw in a networking video. Alot of us audio guys also like networking. Thanks!👍
I'm running 4 diy subs(marty, johnny and micro)....og cut n finished by me, with the rp 8060, 504c, 600m, 500sa. A few nx6000d, currently using my rxa8a but I'll be demo'n the cinema 40 in a few days. Remember everyone, the only one that needs to love your system is you and i love mine. With influence from a multitude of ppl on UA-cam and forums, i am very satisfied with the turn out.
Got myself some new inspiration I need a major upgrade
Great video and I love the HDR video. How do you record video in HDR and what camera are you using?
Thanks! I record on the Sony A7Siii and use the HLG profile. I have a whole HLG workflow in Final Cut as well
Congrats on getting the Trinnov. I don’t think we got to hear your views in the Maestro X7. How much better is the Trinnov and would you still recommend the X7 if we can’t afford the Trinnov?
Hey Tha Villa! I really admire how nice is your setup, congratulations!
In special I always stare these MONSTERS subwoofers, they really look so beatiful and I can imagine how great they might sound!
Keep up the nice work!
Hey! Thanks! They really are beasts. I can’t wait till I have a space where I can add more of them 😆
@@tHAvIlLaMaN 😂😂😂Firstly: double check the structure of your future new place!
Let me ask a question: have you ever real cranked up the volume of them? Cranked until you get scared of "damage" your current house?
Yes and yes. With the Target curve I use (+8dB under 100Hz) they get *visceral* and you feel *everything* happening. It’s amazing
@@tHAvIlLaMaN WOOOW! I can imagine how nice this experience was!
Amazing video! Would be cool to hear some recommendations for beginners or newcomers that want a Dolby Atmos experience 😅😊
🤔
Hi dude! You are very cool!!! I want a similar sound system in my private house
Very nice 😎
Now you just need to add a Music streamer aka "Eversolo DMP-A6 streamer and Dac" would be nice addition.
Are you able to black out your front wall? It's a game changer for UST users. Great content as always!
I’d think about it if we were staying in this house, but hopefully we’ll be moving this year
I have a full Klipsch 9.2.6 in my 4th floor Coop livingroom. Yes i have recieved 1 noise complaint 😂😂. Soubd padding onnfloor & rug on top & both my subs have rubber sound absorbing feet
What would you estimate you audio gear costs atm?
Wicked setup man. How is it with the surrounds and rear surrounds so close? Im running a 5.1 setup and didn't think adding rears so close together wouldn't be worth it.
Thanks! I think it depends on how well your receiver/processor can calibrate it. I can say mine blended really well and never drew attention to itself.
Straight up question: These speakers in comparison to Bowers & Wilkins Diamond series?
@tha_villaman Thanks a lot for the video, setting my home theater inspiration started from your video's. Followed your every video to get something out for my knowledge. Moderate length, no nonsense, crisp clear, needed chapters for the videos, Technical takeaways.
Can you pls tell me, what's your room size dimensions. Planning to buy in wall speakers as my room is 11x12 feet, would love to hear from you on the in wall speakers review. Thanks Again.
Thanks for watching! My room is 12’D X 15’W X 7+’H
I haven’t had any experience with in-walls, but if I was to get any I’d go with Triad. I’ve heard nothing but great things about their in-room and in-wall models. That or B&W in-walls that have the backer boxes built in. Hope that helps!
Nice Processor. I run the Parasound A-23+ and A-52+ with the Anthem AVM70. How does it sound with the sides and rears so close?
It’s sounds great. In tri-axial mode the rears work great and is separated enough from the sides that objects moving across the room disappear in the rears very convincingly
I noticed when i added my 8th sub that my reaction changed when looking at my theater. It went from a big grin to a big grin followed by a head shake. I guess thats when its overkill even though its not, it just gets ridiculous at some point but who cares as long as your enjoying it. (Maybe the neighbors care)
Congratulations. Love all your equipment. Wondering if you would be able to help me on trying to tell me exactly what I need to transfer my physical media movies to like a zappiti or synology I have no clue what it it takes. What computer components I need and what it takes???? Thank you awesome speakers
ua-cam.com/video/AqUpY78BlnQ/v-deo.html
This is a great guide. In short you’ll need a PC, hacked external drive (available from Alex), MakeMKV software and storage (I bought a WD EasyStore, since they’re always on sale and removed the drive).
Also an important note, when you’re ripping the discs *make sure* to select *decrypt*. It won’t play in the Zappiti otherwise
Thank you for your reply 🙏 much appreciated truly awesome setup you have. God Bless you and your family
Show de bola 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Before I came from a budget setup straight to a high-performance arcam avr20 with matching power amps setup, I auditioned and tested several mid-price AVRs. Mo matter which AVR I happen to be testing that same awful background signal noise was always present. That told me it had to be the cables that were the culprits. Didn't want to believe it at first but after doing some more research and coming to the realisation it's what their call RF interference what my ears were actually sensitive to. I had no option other than to take the punt and buy some shielded cables. So glad I did cos not only have I got a better sounding system with volume. I've also got a better sounding system with no volume. What I mean by that... there are occasions my room now sounds so quiet. Wthout me lifting my head up I'm actually unable differentiate whether my system switched off or if it's switched on. Really the room is that quiet.
Cables, especially cables of length act as antennas for attracting RF. It can be anything from your neighbours Bluetooth, Wi-Fi smart devices to phone signals etc. Basically anything that's sending a signal is gonna make ones unshielded cables susceptible RF interference background signal noise. If one cares about a low noise floor I highly recommend buying shielded cables.
The thing is when buying shielded cables you're not just buying the cables for it's shielding. You're actually buying proper speaker cables with quality conductors too. One knows when one's got proper cables. Not only will one be advised to run them directionally but one will also be advised to have them burnt in also.
How much is everything outside of the projector and screen?
Awesome setup ❤ why mix the 1723 and 1723 S, and not just run 1723 all around?
Would love a video on what you would do different if you could go back in time.
The 1723 is a bit too big for behind the sofa. On the sides it made more sense since there’s more space. They sound exactly the same
Your home theater is nice. I've seen your journey from the Alex Jones Pioneer elite speakers to your Bowers & Wilkins center channel upgrade, to now. A home theater is a home theater.
It’s been a fun journey
When will you do a s95c & g3 review?
Should be getting the 1st one in next week
I got mine in my living room
nice setup, how far do you sit from the screen?
10 feet or so
I'm not sure if you review avr's aswell villaman, but it'd be nice to hear a sony new es5000 or 7000 review, and especially their "Sony sound mapping" and see how it compares to the trinnov mapping.
Also, can the trinnov map to any of the 3 formats, dolby, dts, auro. When streaming Netflix most content is probably atmos, so I assume it maps to atmos speaker layout rules and placement.
But if you insert a dts mastered disc or a auro mastered disc/rip on your zappiti, does it map to that original sound format
I do review them, and Sony should be sending me one of their AVRs when it’s available. I’m curious about how their mapping feature compares too.
The Trinnov maps your configured layout to the layout of the content you’re listening to. That’s one of the reasons it’s so game changing.
Sick setup, and great video quality. New sub from me!
Your screen size! is 100" how far are you from the screen? and do you get eye fatigue! just curious coz where about the same room size.
Hey please can you tell me the model of the rack? I really like it! Thank you
Sanus. ua-cam.com/video/PMB0AOLqeoI/v-deo.html
Thats the first film I played with my new Integra avr 😂
Who did you purchase the Araknis switch through? And how much was it? As you know their website is dealer only.
eBay 🤫
You can get one through dreamediaav.com too (for warranty & support), they’re some great people over there
Lovely setup but damn where is your room treatment at? I can here the echo thru my headphones. You really need some acoustic panels or something to get the echo taken care of
WAF and future move are the limiters. There isn’t a noticeable echo because of all the soft surfaces, thankfully
Damn that is some $$$$$$ in your system lol hope someday I can get to this level
Took me a while, so you def can
@@tHAvIlLaMaN thanks 😊 those Marty’s looks really nice 👍 I bet you have some insane bass in that room
I like the t-shirt! My system is in my basement!
Hi, do those hex light panels available in the UK? thanks.
The light strip is behind the panels

AGREED!!!!!
Cleveland, have you tried putting one of your subs in the back of the room or is this not an option in your space?
It’s not really an option because there’s not much space. I actually was going to try putting the Arendal 1V subs in the back, because they’re so narrow, but didn’t (now I’m kicking myself). I’ll probably have to wait until we find a new place, unfortunately
Awesome but how much do you invested to have something like that? PD love the dog😂
Too much, and thanks! That’s his favorite room
HDR!
Did you upgrade your electric system? I’m in the process of adding some 20/30 amp breakers
No I didn’t. The Furman has a built in capacitance too
I just installed two monolith m-215 and at full tilt (kill shot) listening To music.I keep Tripping my 20 amp breaker. I also have pb4000s not hooked yet for near field.
what about the couch?
Brother those subs look like they could start an earthquake!!! U gotta get that room some good acoustic treatment and it’s gonna make this system even that much better! Don’t mistake it though, this is an incredible setup!
Seems like the center channel positioning is the weakest aspect of your setup. I don’t know how you’d fix it with the UST though, other than maybe relocating the gear underneath it and lowering the shelf so you can at least aim it up towards your ear level.
It is, but after calibration you could never tell. A smaller center like the 1961 would be a good alternative, but it’s too small for me
Didn't Know That U Set Your Speakers To Full Range When Listening To Music???? 🤔 I Really Would Want To Know How Much Better Those Speakers 🔊 VS The Klipsch 8060FA 504C Ect.Ect
I absolutely love that Arendal stuff. I want to buy some of the 1723 line stuff myself, but I can only power the floor standing cabinets w/ a convoluted bi-amping situation that includes four monoblocks. ...and even then, the 4 ohm nominal impedence is pushing it. My old school Marantz power amplifiers are meant to power 8 ohm speakers. While I have no doubt they can handle a 4 ohm load, I don't know if they can take the impedence drops BELOW 4 ohms that I'm sure come along w/ the Arendals.
So, yeah. I spent about $4,000 on components and then discovered the speaker brand I want to support...and my electronic components aren't compatible with them. Quite a big problem to have in this hobby, huh???
All the reviews and tests I have seen, show the Arendals do not drop below 4 ohms, so you should be good.
@@johnbancroft5242 I went ahead & bought an Emotiva XPA-TWO for the Arendal 1723 THX floor standing speakers.
Would recommend.
I still have the four old Marantz monoblocks to mess around w/ on another project...which is nice. They are quite beastly little amps that can produce 400+ wrms at an 8 ohm load when a pair of them is "strapped".
In all honesty, your room seems too small for that kind of madness lol, but I feel the struggle bro, getting a nice big appartment has already become a problem in many cities, having the luxury to surround yourself with a large sized mancave has become a premium, especially when you can't live outside your city (due to work) where things get a bit more spacious and affordable.
I’m shocked you use a projector. Do you miss that HDR impact from high end OLED
Get you a 97 inch G2
"Get you a 97" G2" 😆 that shit costs 30 grands, almost the price of a new Ford Ranger, while its not even best anymore, the G3 is much brighter
Can I ask where you got that shelf for the UB9000?

@@tHAvIlLaMaN Hey thanks for the fast response. I just ordered some of the Arendal speakers. Everyone seems to like them so I figured I’d give them a go. And that Altitude 16 is on the horizon for me also!
Nice. You’re about to have a lot of fun!
Are your subwoofer output on your avr/processor independently controlled?
Yup, the Altitude 16 can control as many subwoofers as there are channels (20)
@@tHAvIlLaMaN damn😄
I have a similar setup not quite as ridiculous but similar. The thing that sucks in mine is it has very high vaulted ceilings so my single SVS pb4000 does not fill the room. Thinking about selling it and getting a couple pb4000. Also I don't have any atmos because of the super high ceilings.
A bigger room would definitely be a challenge for a single 13” sub- ported or not. It’s needs 1 or even 3 more friends! Are mounting something like elevation speakers on the side of your walls a feasible option?
@@tHAvIlLaMaN That's what I was thinking of trying is getting the heights on the wall up above my towers. I really want to try the atmos experience.
Dude, make an armstrong suspended ceiling, and everything superfluous will be hidden behind it
filling a larger volume is where the DIY subs (18, 21 and 24 inch options) really save you money and sanity chasing that preferred deep response... miniDSPs included. With the amount of Flat Packs available now, compared to years ago, it's even easier... you can rent clamps and a nail gun from box stores. Remember that quote - "no replacement for displacement." Consider sub boxes that go horizontal behind seating or vertical in corners for the Wife Acceptance Factor (even behind your walls - if you have the ability)
If you aren't a diy person, I highly recommend the Monolith thx 15s. I love mine
Do you even need the UB9000 when you have the Zappiti media server?
Nope. Got it before the Zappiti
@@tHAvIlLaMaN Nice! What do you use to import the disc to the Zappiti? Your PC/laptop Blu-ray drive?
Halo! Sir can I know where u download movies? Tq
I don’t. I rip them from disks
Great job but what happened to the sound demo? 😎👍
Thanks! Couldn’t get a chance to record a proper one because of my new boss 👶🏽
@@tHAvIlLaMaN congratulations. Welcome to the club.! 😂👍
@@HPMIKE55 haha thanks!
Where can I buy trinnov processor?
Links in the description
I'm more than impressed. Congratulations on having such a great system. I have one piece of equipment that you have: Panasonic UB9000 UHD Blu-ray Player. It was an investment I don't regret making.
Even though you can set up a home theater in the shared use room having a dedicated room for home theater will always yield a better result
This is true
All amp should be the same when running 11 channels to keep the same sound characteristic . That goes for speakers too . I wonder why you used different amp in home theater.
A good amp shouldn’t the sound characteristics of your speakers, and these don’t. Also I needed to power 11 total channels and had space for only 2 amps
Here’s the upgrade video ua-cam.com/video/7DsWVk4nzhY/v-deo.html
Sir the switch is op
But indeed
I think Trinnov is good, but if you want great. Get the Storm :D Iam going to buy one just to make a video about it. I heard both and Storm wins.
Yea? In what areas do you think the storm wins?
@@tHAvIlLaMaN Have you hear Storm before ? Trinnov is amazing unit still.
Not yet
the subwoofers are overkill :D
Nahhh
I'm single so mine is in the main TV room / living room. Wife will need a shed built for her special room or maybe the cellar or attic. lol I'm serious though.
