"Yes please do a video on the left and right placement" well done lads you managed to hold my attention for the entire video, I love the way the both of you are able to pass on your knowledge while being very articulate at the same time. 'transparent screens' not for me, I wouldn't even have my L&R at 30 degrees. I think it's rather more subjective than the recommended 30 degrees placement because I've got mine at about 50 to 60 degrees, they are approximately 4 ft away from the corners 3-in out along the sidewalls and it sounds and feels like the whole room is full of sound, maybe I'm getting away with it because my 5.2.2 setup is in a small 13ft×11ft room and sounds fantastic (well it would do wouldn't it, 'lol'). Thank you much for your videos please keep them coming....
I’m really digging these topics Gene and glad you’re discussing things in this format more regularly. I look forward to anything in the budget realm including how you feel the micca center compares to the vertically orientated centers you recommended. :)
Good video and discussion. I’ve had the pleasure of using an Elite Screens 150” AcousticPro1080P3. I went with a 16:9 since I use my theater for gaming and TV viewing as often as I watch movies. I’ve had zero issues with the sound quality or video quality. Using an Epson 5040ub projector set about 18 feet from the screen and with a screen this large it’s been VERY nice having the LCR (KEF Q900 L&R with a 600 center) all set up with the midrange drivers/tweeter all at the same level. Makes for a great movie experience and also quite noticeable while gaming as you pan left and right. My next “upgrade” may be finding another Q900 for a center channel, but it’s a very minimal difference since are all crossed over at 60hz normally. I would have gone with Seymour AV, but I just happened to come across the Elite Screens on amazon’s warehouse deals for 50% off and couldn’t resist…they have such an easy return process if there is a defect of any kind, and happily the screen and frame were perfect.
Gene and Matt, are bipolar speakers like Definitive Technology speakers that have speakers on the front and back good for placement behind a acoustically transparent screen? Any problems or should this only be done with direct radiating speakers?
Since someone asked, my listening distance is 8ft and the speakers are 25 degrees (or 50 degree V). Just a bit under 4 feet apart at the acoustic center. Screen is 106”. Goes to show my memory isn’t great. The rear seating area is 10-11 feet, but I don’t even have seats there at the moment so I’m not concerned they get a worse sound. I would have liked to spread them further apart but it wouldn’t have fit inside the screen I used. It still falls within Dolby’s recommendation and just outside the ITU recommendation of 60 degrees. Gene and I discussed this after the video and feel the same. Don’t lose sleep over 5 degrees. I really don’t recommend pushing the speakers against the walls unless you build them into the walls like you might in a studio.
Thank you for providing such informative content as always. I just bought the klipsch speakers James reviewed rp8000f, my wife wont let me buy a sub. And I find pushing them 1ft from the wall gives me bass I wouldn't otherwise feel. Ps. It doesn't sound boomy to my novice ears. I'd love to know if your thoughts. Thanks!!!!!!!
Spider Man if you like it go with it. It’s your system after all. Our reason for pulling the speakers out from the walls is that it tends to improve the imaging and spaciousness. For many this isn’t their biggest concern. Certainly pushing any speaker near a wall will enhance the low frequencies.
Comment 2, fun questionably coherent ramblings: I'm surprised the electrostatic people haven't made an electrostat screen. I'm still going to test this W(t/m)W reference center channel in my mid-market Infinity Beta setup, but I like allot of off axis consistency for split screen multiplayer games. So I may go back to my previous KEF system with concentric drivers, and pursue the full range tower dream with that set. In all likelihood I will just continue to add to both sets. The KEF's center channel is the KEF Q9c it's a single concentric driver of proprietary polypropylene midbass, cradling an aluminum tweeter in a fairly large rear ported enclosure with a wide curving front baffle. There's a blingy chrome ring around the tweeter which is pretty styling, and even the polypropylene is glossy batman rubber, I kinda talked myself out of the system because of the polypropylene, cause I know it's kind of a floppy damped design philosophy. But ya know materials are perhaps less important than implementation, so my stiff CMMD set may end up losing their favor to the polypropylene concentric, simply because of the 4ohm CMMD tweeter in the 8ohm Beta system, and the advantageous dispersion characteristics of concentrics. But this is all theory, I still need to get em side by side. If I really wanted to frankenstein a setup, I would use a mirage OMD c-2 center channel speaker for some really wide dispersion consistency, with maybe more directional concentric speakers for the other channels, leaning on some future refinements in auto calibration to balance the set's dynamics and timbral inconsistencies. I imagine the frankenstein set would have some vintage speaker end tables, and maybe some bipole dipole surround phase jank going on, and for the rear channel, a wall of sound, flat response from the average of speakers from many sets stacked/horded in the back of the room lol, maybe that'd be better on the front.
I have Monitor Audio silver 5.1 speaker set-up and I think my system sounds better in 4.1 rather than 5.1. The sound stage on the LR is good enough to simulate the center channel and the voices seem to come from the center of the screen rather than below. Am I the only one thinking that and is it OK? Am I doing something wrong??
With all the problems indicated with TVs (not screens) seems to me going with a good sound-bar placed just below and tight to the TV is the way to go ? Also have you heard the new Golden Ear Ceiling L-C-R system ?
I found all this information quite interesting. But I also find it interesting when you listen to the pros or others with vested interests in screens/gear in general that they never talk about Spandex screens? Most installers argue that the low gain makes them not worthy of mention. But to many the fact that projectors are so bright these days make them the best acoustically transparent screen fabric choice so far, especially where the visual element is concerned. Why do you never hear the so called pros talking about them? Could it be because there's no money in it for them? Or are they just embarrassed that this industry isn't as complex and expensive as many like to make out. Anyway that's my 2 cents. Enjoyed your vid, I really only came across it because I wanted reassurance that putting my L&R speakers outside my screen with my center behind was in fact acceptable. Cheers guys :)
If I am used to my speakers with the cloth screen covers... Will I get the same sound from them if I take off the individual cloth grills and put them bare behind an ATS? In my mind I am just replacing one cloth screen in front of the drivers with another., albeit different distances from the drivers.
Thanks Gene and Matt. This helps alot as I want to do a 9.1.6 setup. My problem is timbre matching how to timbre match my 20yr old 5.1 setup with the additional speakers needed to do 9.1.6? Also, something I was curious on is the use of anamorphic lenses with pjs to get more light output and use all the pixels of the pj for a 2.35.1 cinemascope that most movies are filmed? Maybe a vid on choosing the right aspect ratio screen?
I’m not really a video expert. I know enough to get by. Do you watch mostly movies shot in CinemaScope? I would think if most of what you watch is the wider aspect ratio then that makes sense. I’ve personally seen both the lens method and the anamorphic lens and stretch method shown back to back in a panamorph demo. I was supposed to walk away impressed by how much better the panamorph looked. Instead I walked away impressed how well the zoom method worked. With 4k projectors you even have extra pixels to waste. You can’t see and resolve 4k on most projector systems because we sit too far back for the screen size. Yes you could go bigger, many do, but I honestly think a lot of folks have started to just go too big. You don’t want to fill up your peripheral vision with screen. You can’t pay attention to that. As I understand, the movies were shot with a specific field of view in mind and it assumes a portion of the periphery is blacked out.
Michael Randa ok we get the timber matching old speakers thing a lot. Sadly there isn’t an easy fix. My suggest is to go to ebay or various used speaker sites and look for more of the same speakers. That is the only way to get a timber match. I wouldn’t even assume a timber match between the same speaker after 20 years of production. Nothing made today will sound just like something made in 2000.
@@PoesAcoustics thanks Matt. Ya I'm actually debating stepping my screen size down from 110" 16.9 2 like 100" cinascope to give me more leway with the front wides for the 9.1.6. Im still a bit unsure on how to best place those front wide channel speakers? Im thinking those wides will be more immersive than too big of a screen. Lastly, Im looking to get the jvc nx9 8k eshift pj and I see many talking about the Panamorph dcr lens with it which is like a third the cost of the pj. I hear alot of good talk about jvcs nx9 lens and the switching ratio options. So I was debating is the dcr lens worth the cost with the amazing lens and features of the jvc all glass 100mm lens? Other thing is I also game which is 16.9. Do people remove the dcr lens to game in 16.9? Thanks very much!
FOMO on tech actually we are extremely sensitive to timbre changes in the vertical direction. We rely on timbre changes to resolve the angular direction of sound in the vertical axis. We are not as sensitive to angular change in the vertical direction because timbre is a poor way to resolve direction as compared to phase and amplitude changes. However I would agree with the sentiment. Whole timbre marching of the ceiling is suggested by Dolby, it is my opinion that as long as they are reasonably neutral and your other speakers are reasonably neutral, it’s not a major concern.
Hi Gene, Always great video's. I am rebuilding/upgrading my room next year to a 9.(2 or 3).6 atmos system. My room is currently 9m (29.5ft) deep, will be a bit shorter once I build the new baffle wall, and 5m (16.4ft) wide. I am looking at an MTM arrangement for my LCR's behind the screen. Here's my main question, Will a conventional dome tweeter project enough sound in that room, or am I better off looking at a compression driver with something like a 90x40 Horn? Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.
I know that I am a bit late to the party on this video but I am playing catch up on these fantastic videos as well as the great articles you produce but can I please ask what your thoughts are on how a 2.5 way MTM centre differs from a traditional MTM or 3 way centre?
Can someone please review elite screen motorized 16:9 and 2:35 acoustic screen. I think it’s amazing and but can’t find anyone that has reviewed one. And yes it’s woven
Belle of the ball! lol thanks you guys, this is cool stuff! I really liked that MTM type rundown allot! Way cool to see your guy's boss systems too. I really look forward to the day when TV sets have high quality sound coming directly off the screen surface, like these pioneering models from Sony and LG linked below. It will be cool if they ever get to parity with high end center channel speakers. I suppose someone could suspend a large piece of glass in front of a TV screen and use "surface transducers" to make their own. I would think in that case; someone would want to use glass mounted surface transducers for every channel, to timbral match all the channels. Then just pretending the reflections off the glass aren't a thing lol, or implementing the surface transducer panels as a network of supercomputer DSP sources, utilizing dynamic noise cancelling with laser vibrometer precision to actively predict and cancel each other's oncoming waves. ua-cam.com/video/5A5PcS67jI8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/42_Yfd-IuXA/v-deo.html
If I cannot place the centre channel at the front edge of the cabinet top that sits under the TV, do you have any practical solution to reduce reflections from the table top? The speaker is currently on wedges angled to the listener’s ear level. I don’t know if I have an issue though.
James Wiens im aware of the brand but no nothing about their quality. My impression is that it’s more of a value brand. Looks like they buy some off the shelf materials in bulk and sell them to consumers as finished products. The screens are likely a Chinese manufacturer that has copied the design of a more major brand. They may be fine. It’s an unknown.
@@PoesAcoustics I've done lots of homework on them a lot a lot of reviews and talk to people who have had them and they've been top-notch. I was just wondering their thoughts
James Wiens they may be fine. I really don’t know. I think the only problem with user reviews is what are they comparing to? Do these users who have them have a good point of comparison to know what better screens are like? I’ve owned good high end and I’ve owned cheap. I find the materials and frame are what largely differ. Most of the cheaper screens didn’t have as nice a frame, but once on a wall, I suppose who really cares. As for material, that can make a really big difference. But again they may be getting really good materials. I just have no way of telling you. Gene either. I don’t see us getting into screen reviews any time soon. They are incredibly difficult to review. Screens are very physically large and a bit of a pain to put up and take down. My wife barely tolerates my reviewing as is. I can only imagine what she would think if a dozen screens in 10 foot boxes started showing up.
@@PoesAcoustics yes I agree. I'm more interested in reviews done by different outfits who review multiple different screens have all brands. And it's rated well and held its own.
ShinjiKodaiClarence Waterson are you asking about acoustic panels or projector screens? Plastic or glass movie poster frames are ok. They will be highly reflective so you need to be sure your room acoustically can handle that. They also rattle on walls. Fabric movie posters can be turned into absorber panels and that is nice. Is that what you are asking?
