The sound system was so good I was rendered deaf for a few minutes. It’s OK to be jealous that we are their favorite neighbors. I never want to go to a regular movie theater ever again.
I'm sure you're just saying this to be silly, so I apologize if my tone of my question if it seems snarky. But I was under the impression that going deaf from a sound system reflects poorly on reference levels and poor use of the technology resulting in loss/ripping of the sound waves... Right?
It’s nice to see a 1961 theatre featured, I have a 5.1 1961 system in my basement. It should be 5.2 by the end of the year. My fronts are the Monitors. You’ve given me some nice ideas for my basement, it looks awesome.
Thanks! Love the 1961s and grateful to Arendal for featuring me an ambassador on their website. You should join the discord channel and share your theater!
Arendal male a very good speaker and there suns punch way above their weight class. At first I was confused by the choice of white but it looks really sharp in your room and the fact that it is flat instead of gloss is a huge benefit. I think more people would go with white if it was easier to get in a flat white finish, this is the first I have heard of it. Looks awesome Mikal
Thanks for watching Jase - we keep saying it - but after lockdown, we should schedule a day for a video of your awesome room.. if you're up for it of course!
An amazing space. I have been curious about the Arendal speakers myself and have looked them up on the website several times. Love the Tuscany seats too, great choice 😉. Amazing job on the video as always Tony.
Looks great. I love seeing a room that’s in a normal bedroom-sized room. I’d love to have a big theater but I think this is the size mine will eventually be.
just seen the specs its almost the same size as my room (3.6m x 3.6m) where im trying to cram in a 5.2.4 setup eventually but its also my bedroom so i also have a double bed and pc desk too lol
Awesome…over the next few months I will be working on a 10x14 home theater room. It’s great to see someone else’s room for reference. Thank you for sharing
@@valaristar no worries. :-) I’m excited to be joining the Arendal Sound club next month. My 1723s speakers are due mid July. All the reviews for Arendal are excellent. :-)

I've never heard of Arendal...nice to see a new brand. Those towers looks badass in the matte white. 4 ohm nominal impedance? Looks like some power is needed to push those bad boys Nice job matching the center with FL and FR. Interesting to have the dipole speakers on the surrounds. I'd love to hear in person I've heard great things about Optoma especially for gaming. What game was that? I have a Silver Ticket 120 inch AT screen. Big fan of it...great performance out of it Demo time! Giving me ideas of new stuff to try in my HT! What did I think? Looks incredible! Great room, Mikal!!!!!
Yes Mick donated them to me for the cause. His words were “wrap them, paint them, sand them back and stain them” so I want to make them look like they belong. I was considering sanding back but not sure how deep the stain goes.
I really like the way that equipment rack is ventilated, that definitely looks cool! I might have to borrow that concept in my new theater... if it ever gets built, the new house is way behind schedule:-(
Wow. Very very nice. Simple and clean! Currently working with limited space , with a 5.1.2 (2subs; Klipsch R12SW) , with the Klipsch Reference Line ; R28F towers/SPEAKERS , with a recent upgrade to my receiver FROM the Denon, to the (Marantz SR8015) with T8 cooling fan, AND Panamax M5300 Max surge protector. The sound is night and day and sounds amazing from new receiver!! My set up is calibrated to 80DB with the subs at 82+/- DB each for a total of 86DB +/- 1DB for that extra thump for a total of 95-105db total output dependent on volume level. Now, back to this very clean set up; I would love to know what the speakers and subs are calibrated too, and total output when playing at reference level. Also curious why you're not running a separate Amp either for your front stage (left, center , right) and or for all speakers with a monolith 11x or similar ; just not interested? No space? Wouldn't mind your thoughts on that as well. Thanks for the vid. Beautiful set up
Great job on the theater, and also the video. So that Denon receiver can really drive all of those beautiful Arendals? That's pretty impressive. They're 4ohm, aren't they?
Thank you! The media unit being featured is the BDI Corridor 8173. You can learn more by visiting www.bdiusa.com/corridor or by visiting the link in the description.
Hi Mikal. Fantastic room and set up! I'm considering a 1961 set up in a much smaller room but it would be mainly for multi channel music. I'm curious if you play music on your system and if so how does it sound? Thanks.
Sounds great! I’ve watched some live concerts in there and now spatial audio (lossless Dolby Atmos) with Apple Music takes music listening to another level!
Hi I’ve got an unusual question that I’m sure you can help me with, it would be awesome if you did a video on UA-cam about this subject as there’s not much info on it. On to the question. I’m a retired portable DJ and I’ve got quite a few powered speakers 2x Mackie thump 15a’s, 6x Mackie thump 12a’s and 2x Mackie 18” powered subs. These are very powerful at 1300w each but seeing as they are powered I’m wondering if I can connect them via the RCA outputs of a receiver to power a home theatre build I’m planing. I was thinking the 2x 15’s for my fronts LnR 2x 12’s for my centre and 4x 12’s for side/rear surrounds, obviously to 2x subs up front as well. Any help in this situation would be awesome and appreciated.
Very nice room but the seating is not optimal. The surround speakers are right in your face. I would move the seats to 2/3 of the room for more space. You could also place the speakers higer on the wall angled down for a more spacious sound.(and not right in your face)
Understand what you’re saying and initially I had same concern. However the theater is calibrated to the two middle seats. Outside seating is used rarely but even then sounds great with off access waveguide tweeters. I positioned speakers to recommended Dolby Atmos specs. When the lights are off you don’t really notice how close the sides and rears are to your head. Not optimal because of room size but still sounds amazing.
Hi Are there measurements before and after the acoustic treatment? It is to see the acoustics of the room. Written with Google translator Greetings and thanks for the video
@@valaristar If you can in the near future measure with Room EQ Wizard for example and look at your TR (TR20, TR30, Topt), Waterfall, etc, etc. Greetings and enjoy the team room
Hey mate is there anyway I could get in touch with Michael? I am starting building small cinema playroom for my customer and it would be great to have someone to ask advice. I am interested more in speaker setting out. And accoustics
i wonder is he really powering all speakers with the AV? or does he has some power amps helping..... I have the same speakers (except for the subs) but feel the need to put some amps to really get the best out of them
I live in Australia and paid USD 389 to ship a pair of the Arendal 1723 THX Towers. Given the size and weight of these speakers (and the speed of the shipping) I thought that this was a great deal. I also paid about AUD 450 in import taxes. In the end this was still way cheaper in total than anything of comparable quality that I could purchase locally.
@@jonathanh5258 Did you have to pay anything additional besides the shipping and 10% VAT (import tax) ? I'm eyeing Arendal too but scared of the costs to get them here!
@@BOER1717 That was pretty much it. There didn't seem to be any duty payable but sometimes Australian Customs throw in an administration charge (around $50) just for laughs. I don't think that you have to worry about any major extra costs.
White speakers and a white rug… if he only knew how much contrast he’s proactively giving away. The same speakers in black and a dark rug, and it would be like getting a new, much better projector.
Does it bug anyone else that the Xbox Series X is standing up, yes it looks a little cooler I guess but it does block that 1/4 of the screen and it's literally an easy fix by putting it on it's side in the horizontal configuration.
Totally underpowered for that room. The distortion level would be quite high. For all that money and effort a pre/pro and amp(s) would be in order. Love the layout and finished look and the speakers are great.
@@valaristar Glad it sounds good. The receiver you have is a top machine. Just thought that the speakers were too demanding on it. Your room is amazing.
Nice setup but for 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos this room is quite small than minimum room size of 50 cubic metres said by Dolby Home Entertainment Professional. I wonder how spatial surround effect is conveyed
I don't agree with this. Object based sound benefits from having more speakers positioned correctly. Can you reference where this has been said by Dolby?
@@BuildMontage www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.proaudio.de/de/documents/3d-audio-forum-2019/9-dolby-atmos-home-entertainment-studio-certification-guide/file.html&ved=2ahUKEwi_2eiD2NzxAhVyqksFHURfA8IQFnoECA0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw3lxOFyTr_9rgsGj4Xli8cw I am not denying your information about setup. I am just wondering how the system sounds in this space. Here it is. Please read this and let me know if I am missing something or understanding concept wrong way. Your feedback will help a lot.
A center speaker is like the most important speaker for HT yet it's the worse in this system. Arendal really needs to improve the center. Right now that 2 way design is subpar. A let down compared to their towers
We can't all have super duper amazing home theaters like you, Phillip. Just the other day, some random guy on the street was saying, "if you REALLY want an great theater, check out Phillip's place!".
The sound system was so good I was rendered deaf for a few minutes. It’s OK to be jealous that we are their favorite neighbors. I never want to go to a regular movie theater ever again.
Glad you enjoyed it! Come back anytime. And thanks for the design tips…

That's a magnificent Home Theater love it
Thanks!
Looks great. I love seeing a room that’s in a normal bedroom-sized room. I’d love to have a big theater but I think this is the size mine will eventually be.
Yes, it's very similar to my own. In the average house, we repurpose our rooms for HT.
just seen the specs its almost the same size as my room (3.6m x 3.6m) where im trying to cram in a 5.2.4 setup eventually but its also my bedroom so i also have a double bed and pc desk too lol
Room size was a challenge but it worked out!
Man, those Arendal speakers are nice! I love design of those height speakers.
Thanks! You can stack them on your towers to bounce Atmos if you can’t ceiling mount.
@@valaristar My ceiling is pretty high so I can install them there. Will these speakers shipped to the States if decided to make a purchase?

Nice dual subs. Being an ambassador of Arendal, ofc he is going to tell you he is very happy about the decision to use them lol.
They sounded great even before that!
Pretty sure that came after he bought them and set his room up...;)
The speakers look amazing and the room is stunning
Thank you!
Love the seats, I don't see many home theaters with anything besides black. Maybe the occasional red. Great video as always Tony!
Agreed, there was a lot of consideration with the design in this setup. Cognac seating and white speakers. It looks great!
Original plan was all black but decided to do something different. Love how it turned out!

Hi, generally, I don't ask these questions when I'm doing a room tour as it can be quite a personal thing to share that sort of info.
I’m afraid to do the math honestly…
Very nice theater room but it deserve upgrade projector.
Got it for gaming but having trouble with it recently may replace it soon
Just have question now.. why did u get extra cooling for denon if this receiver have inside fan's by itself, for cooling?.. is that really necessary?
Probably not necessary
Can you share your 4K collection..
White speakers and a white rug… if he only knew how much contrast he’s proactively giving away. The same speakers in black and a dark rug, and it would be like getting a new, much better projector.
Do you find that the center speaker is too narrow?
Not at all.
All I see in the clips at the end are reflections off of the white speakers.
Team where can I purchase the absorption panels
www.atsacoustics.com
Does it bug anyone else that the Xbox Series X is standing up, yes it looks a little cooler I guess but it does block that 1/4 of the screen and it's literally an easy fix by putting it on it's side in the horizontal configuration.
Yeah I’ve made several changes since this was filmed. It’s on its side now along with an all black ps5
Totally underpowered for that room. The distortion level would be quite high. For all that money and effort a pre/pro and amp(s) would be in order. Love the layout and finished look and the speakers are great.
Sounds great. Haven’t noticed any distortion but will look into separates down the road. Would you start with Sound stage?
@@valaristar
Glad it sounds good. The receiver you have is a top machine. Just thought that the speakers were too demanding on it. Your room is amazing.
top fronts and top rears height is not on same level due to cieling in rear heights.
cost?
Not really sure. North of $20k
Perché la bandiera italiana sulla copertina?
Honestly not sure maybe for Valencia seating but they’re manufactured in Canada.
Excellent home theatre but tiny subwoofers .
Ive got to stop watching these at this rate i be up to a 100 k lol
how could you only show 5 seconds from the lord of the rings...
I know, right?
I wish I could show more :(
upgrade that Denon soon ... newer models have Dirac Live and it's really better.
What’s better?
Nice setup but for 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos this room is quite small than minimum room size of 50 cubic metres said by Dolby Home Entertainment Professional. I wonder how spatial surround effect is conveyed
I don't agree with this. Object based sound benefits from having more speakers positioned correctly. Can you reference where this has been said by Dolby?

I am not denying your information about setup. I am just wondering how the system sounds in this space. Here it is. Please read this and let me know if I am missing something or understanding concept wrong way. Your feedback will help a lot.
Room certainly isn’t perfect size but 7.2.4 sounds great in here.
A center speaker is like the most important speaker for HT yet it's the worse in this system. Arendal really needs to improve the center. Right now that 2 way design is subpar. A let down compared to their towers
If they made a larger one I would have purchased but still sounds great have you heard it in person?
Room dimensions. Plsssss
Is it not in the video?
Yeah they’re in the video
First
could be better. 77 or 83" OLED > any projector any size. Speakers, could be better. Receiver, could be HDMI 2.1 to allow proper 4k120 passthrough.
Not at all impressed,sorry 😞
We can't all have super duper amazing home theaters like you, Phillip. Just the other day, some random guy on the street was saying, "if you REALLY want an great theater, check out Phillip's place!".
