To do the "bass crawl", you can also put the sub in your listening position, and then you yourself crawl around to the different spots. Much easier than moving the sub around.

James literally knows everything about the stuff he buys... like he has everything plans about. psst- did u notice how linus was not understanding a word what james was saying about the room correction lmao
Room correction is sound engineering witchcraft. It listens to the reverb in the room and adjusts the signal being sent to the speakers to compensate for that reverb based on their internal models of how the sound behaves in various spaces. The problem is that it has a hard time coping with particularly strange room configuration, since it is basically trying to use sound to figure out the shape of the room and how to optimize the sound so your room gain works out in your favor. Still, it has nothing over a sound engineer using models of the space and determining optimal speaker placement, treatment placement, and then running the room correction. But most people can't afford to have dedicated theaters or listening rooms, so we make compromises where we must.
Damn that dude is knowledgeable on everything he chose. You can tell he researched the shit out of it all haha. Awesome episode haha. You guys have great chemistry.

OOf true audiophile. Man after my own heart! Before atmos ever existed and you had to manually calibrate your surround, we used to use our cat as the calibration test. We'd plop him on the couch put Star Wars on and if he looked up when the fighters flew over, we knew we had the surround correctly calibrated.
I like how James is just trying to explain the sound correction choice he made, notices Linus is more interested in the peel, and just verbally gives him permission to peel it. You can hear in Linus' voice when he says "okay" there's just no life in it as he'd rather peel the film off
BTW: 'Riley Murdock' is the most entertaining presenter there = clever & funny & handsome. Linus is mostly 'high energy & specs', but gets off on 'hacking' things, like instead of going 2 a store (or wherever) 2 get the right screws (or making an inventory list so not 'missing') tries 2 force the wrong size in a radiator, then when that fails, tries DRILLING the radiator = what could go wrong? =)) Makes it surprising he's able 2 build such a $uccessful company =;-o It's mirrored in his choice of wives. Nothing against her, but he could get a hot chik instead of 'random street vendor looking migrant' style 1 LOL
How many people can even get one on one time with Linus himself these days? Even his children can't get that much time from him! Like, the upper management of LMG are probably the only people that could even get Linus to help them with things. And don't even think about asking Anthony - that man probably has zero spare time in his book.

Man, dad life is getting to me. I saw Twirly-Woos on the TV above the fireplace and IMMEDIATELY recognized it because my toddler has been watching it every day (it's about to leave Netflix). Siiigh
I love how Linus isn't looking at the cats butthole because the tail is down. But if it was up, all bets are off! 😂 Another great video. Probably one of the nicest looking homes we've seen so far 👍
“Nicest looking homes we’ve seen” that’s rather rude to judge a persons house. Linus’s staff members welcomed us into their homes and you feel the need to rank them🤨
25:32 I recognized the opening to Tenet immediately because I finally watched it a week ago and have been completely obsessed with it since then, including the phenomenal score by Ludwig Göransson.
@@AlexJordan Yep. Watching in on a 7.1 surround sound system with a 12” Paradigm subwoofer and a 65” OLED TV in a pitch-black basement made it quite an enjoyable experience. 😁
@@Wh0isTh3D0ct0r DAMN. that sounds awesome. I originally watched it in IMAX and my mom's non-audiophile setup... it's honestly just fine. but it's not IMAX 😂
@@drumboarder1 thanks. I too have 2 large windows on my editing room and they’re rattling. Thinking of putting full blackout curtains and some acoustic panels to help out on the echo and vibrations.
A note on subwoofers; After buying one I found it very distracting when watching movies, or when a commercial (which are always very LOUD) comes on. When you set the volume to hear the dialog, along comes some window-shaking explosion or dramatic music/sound during a dramatic moment. I kept adjusting it lower and lower to where it's almost somewhere between 0 and 1 on the dial. And there's no one setting that works for all movies or shows. It's either too loud or non-existent. It almost needs it's own dedicated remote volume control. If you live in a condo or apartment, expect a knock on the door from your angry neighbor(s).
If you live in a condo/apt. and have any kind of serious sound system there will always have to be compromises. I have a similar situation with dynamics (gunfire/explosions) so I set my audio system to Loudness Normalization, which compresses the dynamic range (most receivers and PCs have that setting), and helps keep the sound from drastically jumping from soft to loud. Of course, some of the immersion is lost, but that a multi-dwelling compromise you have to learn to live with. If you're lucky, you have a multi-speaker receiver setting (Dolby surround/Atmos/etc. which allows you to add a center channel speaker to your system. That way, you get adjust your bass-to-dialogue output so that it fits your environment and audio environment and taste better. Your dialogue will always come through loud and clear. Again, not a prefect solution -- since as you stated no two recording are exactly alike -- so you may still on occasion have to "ride" the volume control. Just not as often.
Even if your room is right, the anthem receiver is amazing. I highly recommend anyone that's into good sound go to a showroom with Anthem receivers to demo them against literally any competitor. Even without the correction Anthem sounds better than anything it's price or lower, even if what you're comparing it with has room correction enabled I don't mean to shill, NAD and anthem are that much better than any of the consumer Brands you would find at Best Buy
@@NinjaQuick I love my older NAD stuff, but I can't see how the Anthem can be 2x better than a Denon X4700H. I got my X3600H for $800 on Black Friday 2 years ago and paired it with 2 PB-2000s. All in it was about the same price as what the single Anthem receiver cost. XT32 is very good as well.
I just love how all the members of LINUS MEDIA GROUP are some down-to-earth humble guys! Linus sure has wise eyes when it comes to finding people who'd work for him!
I really appreciate how plastic-adverse James is. I never knew, but seeing the mason jars of food and how upset he was at those cables being individually wrapped… that’s honestly really awesome. I wish more people were more aware of our plastic usage
love the psa about acoustics in this one. maybe it'll clue streamers and podcasters into not wasting money on a bunch of foam squares when a few real panels at first reflection points would do much more and look a lot cooler. next is normalizing not confusing acoustic treatment with sound isolation lol.
As a sound professional. His choices are useless.. The Amp will never pass a quarter volume before neighbour will be pissed off.. All amplifiers like race car engines don't start working until they hit 3/4 volume... so unless you can hit 7 out of 10 on volume and be comfortable. You have blown a shitload of money.. also check speakers efficiency how many db at 1 watt at 1 metre..
@@graemejohnson9025 You're making the dumbass assumption his new place has neighbours to worry about. Do all 'sound professionals' make shit assumptions n' guesses & then base their conclusions off them? If so, I'll be sure to never hire one... Comments on the speaker efficiency, etc were fine.
@@graemejohnson9025 lol what, he's got a solid state amplifier, not valve. Linearity of amplification is the aim for 99% of SS amps and especially home theatre usage, so he's not wrong at all that a higher headroom will give him a good amount more range for the amplifier to stretch it's legs before entering any distortion or clipping territory. Unless you really love that *BZZT* sound that SS has when it clips lol.
@@SF7PAKISTAN Obviously not everyone has the budget. With $5,000 though, yes they have a budget. That's honestly misleading anyway when the average soundbar is like $500 and you can get a set of bookshelfs and a receiver for the same price. And no, soundbars don't sound good. Unless you like having zero stereo separation.
I feel like James was missing the "do NOT try this at home disclaimer" when cutting wood in his kitchen sink... at least he endorsed eye protection (while not using it haha)
A subwoofer crawl is when you set the subwoofer in the place where the listener will be sitting, and then you literally crawl around the floor untill you hear/feel the bass at its best. Then you place that subwoofer where the bass is the best.
I agree. Yt music isn't great in terms of audio quality. If you spend so much money on a hifi system, you can also spend extra to get Tidal Hifi or Deezer Hifi.
I went from a yamaha receiver to a NAD. And the difference was incredible. It was a more full sound. The sound hit me like a warm chicken noodle soup for my ears. Game changer.
i just love you guys. Each person has their own diverse characters and their own interests, but everything is just complimentary. No one is trying to put another one down. Just good vibes across the board. Thank you guys! I mean it. Keep them videos coming. To better times ahead!
@@Oystein87 They have a time frame to shoot the video mr genius. James even said he'll get used to the receiver and all the ins and outs of his setup to get the best out of it.
@@SierraAAM No exuse😅 He did things before the video and several things in the setup is wrong regardless of the timeframe. If there is bo timeframe to do it right then there is no point of doing it at all mr genius🙄 And the reciver does not help the speaker placement etc no matter what so... And room correction is not needed when the setup is done right in the first place.
@@Oystein87 you need to consider a very important thing tho, he is moving to a new place soon after this video was made, so about several weeks ago, makes no sense to try to be perfect when you would just rip it all out and redo everything in the new place anyway, the setup in the video is temporary to begin with

this entire video just reaffirms my love for james. genuine knowledge on audio, acoustic treatment, room correction, rew, etc. I absolutely love it
7:28 "go for it buddy", just warms my heart.
3:14 "I can't do anything about this." They are called curtains. They absorb sound and block light. your welcome.
Maybe the wife doesn't want curtains.
Exactly what I thought. Blackout curtains are the cheapest and easiest way to dampen sound.
James has moved since then so it isn't a problem anymore prob
Thick wool courtains would do the trick for both, dampening sound and blocking ligth to make more comfortable the whole experience.
12:34 Linus' run when he hears about feet, in all of it's graceful glory
WAIT!?! HES MOVING IN 2 WEEKS AND YOU ARE STILL GOING THROUGH WITH THIS?! WHY.NOT.WAIT.2.WEEKS?!
Because linus basically pranks him by doing this earlier
money
It can take up to a month to unpack everything after moving if you have a lot of stuff. Linus would have to wait not 2 weeks but maybe a month.
This was all I wanted to know as well. Granted the only thing that was really questionable imo was if the new place actually needed the acoustic panels still.
Because they have a lack of understanding of economics.
Jame's place is the nicest so far, out of all LMG employees we've seen in the extreme tech upgrade!

25:38 LOL, I also love that first scene from Tenet and I use it to demonstrate to a friend the sound of my new soundbar.
“Ughhh this is really tight”. “It really does just go right in there”. We’ve got both ends of the spectrum here
The fact that James is as much of an audio nerd as I can be makes me happy. Acoustic treatment is important!
Audio is even more important than visual fidelity when it comes to home cinema IMO.
that or you can just wear good headphones and be completely fine.
@@kingofscotland7268 Yes, I wear IEMs all the time but nothing beats a good home audio setup, that's why I *love* this as the best _upgrade_ episode.

It helps that James actually know what he's talking about and didn't spend money on massage neck braces and decorative lights.

“Nicest looking homes we’ve seen” that’s rather rude to judge a persons house. Linus’s staff members welcomed us into their homes and you feel the need to rank them🤨
25:32 I recognized the opening to Tenet immediately because I finally watched it a week ago and have been completely obsessed with it since then, including the phenomenal score by Ludwig Göransson.
Came here to say this. Also Nolan's dialogue mixing is... a great test for an audio setup 😅
@@AlexJordan Yep. Watching in on a 7.1 surround sound system with a 12” Paradigm subwoofer and a 65” OLED TV in a pitch-black basement made it quite an enjoyable experience. 😁

I was thinking the same. Some heavy curtains will make a huge difference. Won't be perfect, but will be way better than a huge piece of glass.
He’s not going to put curtains up.
Why?
He’s moving in two weeks, remember?
@@stevenx3m does a full blackout curtains help on the sound?
@@drumboarder1 thanks. I too have 2 large windows on my editing room and they’re rattling. Thinking of putting full blackout curtains and some acoustic panels to help out on the echo and vibrations.

A note on subwoofers; After buying one I found it very distracting when watching movies, or when a commercial (which are always very LOUD) comes on. When you set the volume to hear the dialog, along comes some window-shaking explosion or dramatic music/sound during a dramatic moment. I kept adjusting it lower and lower to where it's almost somewhere between 0 and 1 on the dial. And there's no one setting that works for all movies or shows. It's either too loud or non-existent. It almost needs it's own dedicated remote volume control. If you live in a condo or apartment, expect a knock on the door from your angry neighbor(s).
If you live in a condo/apt. and have any kind of serious sound system there will always have to be compromises. I have a similar situation with dynamics (gunfire/explosions) so I set my audio system to Loudness Normalization, which compresses the dynamic range (most receivers and PCs have that setting), and helps keep the sound from drastically jumping from soft to loud. Of course, some of the immersion is lost, but that a multi-dwelling compromise you have to learn to live with.
If you're lucky, you have a multi-speaker receiver setting (Dolby surround/Atmos/etc. which allows you to add a center channel speaker to your system. That way, you get adjust your bass-to-dialogue output so that it fits your environment and audio environment and taste better. Your dialogue will always come through loud and clear.
Again, not a prefect solution -- since as you stated no two recording are exactly alike -- so you may still on occasion have to "ride" the volume control. Just not as often.
Love how you censored the artwork but then showed it clear as day on his friends page next to it 😂. Love from Perth, West Aus

I love how they pixelated the breasts leaving the crotch uncensored.

"I'm gonna spend $2700 on a receiver because I don't have room correction and my room is a terrible shape."
"Also I'm moving really soon."
Even if your room is right, the anthem receiver is amazing. I highly recommend anyone that's into good sound go to a showroom with Anthem receivers to demo them against literally any competitor. Even without the correction Anthem sounds better than anything it's price or lower, even if what you're comparing it with has room correction enabled
I don't mean to shill, NAD and anthem are that much better than any of the consumer Brands you would find at Best Buy
@@NinjaQuick On the other hand, $2700 is much higher than $500.
@@kaldogorath Yeah you can buy the Umik 1 for $100, not $200 as James said. Use it with any PC/AVR setup.
I think the stuff was ordered long before he planned to move. These videos have been delayed alot
@@NinjaQuick I love my older NAD stuff, but I can't see how the Anthem can be 2x better than a Denon X4700H. I got my X3600H for $800 on Black Friday 2 years ago and paired it with 2 PB-2000s. All in it was about the same price as what the single Anthem receiver cost. XT32 is very good as well.
I just love how all the members of LINUS MEDIA GROUP are some down-to-earth humble guys! Linus sure has wise eyes when it comes to finding people who'd work for him!
Probably cause of the great work environment that Linus provides more of a friend then a boss 👏
I love how geeky and smart James is. Awesome house and tech. Inspirational.
Always barge right into people's houses. It's the only way for them to know you aren't a vampire.
Legendary comment!
My respect for James rose like 100 points with this video; great love for what he's made at his home.
Actually was surprised when he said he's moving, the place is so clean and fresh
I really appreciate how plastic-adverse James is. I never knew, but seeing the mason jars of food and how upset he was at those cables being individually wrapped… that’s honestly really awesome. I wish more people were more aware of our plastic usage
Ikr! I love James ngl
love the psa about acoustics in this one. maybe it'll clue streamers and podcasters into not wasting money on a bunch of foam squares when a few real panels at first reflection points would do much more and look a lot cooler. next is normalizing not confusing acoustic treatment with sound isolation lol.

After all the gamery tech upgrade, seeing James' setup just feel refreshing.
"Well it's mostly orange"
This dude cracks me up.
As a fellow audiophile, I approved this video. James made fantastic choices.. that also will move with him to his new place!
As a sound professional.
His choices are useless..
The Amp will never pass a quarter volume before neighbour will be pissed off.. All amplifiers like race car engines don't start working until they hit 3/4 volume... so unless you can hit 7 out of 10 on volume and be comfortable. You have blown a shitload of money.. also check speakers efficiency how many db at 1 watt at 1 metre..
@@graemejohnson9025 You're making the dumbass assumption his new place has neighbours to worry about. Do all 'sound professionals' make shit assumptions n' guesses & then base their conclusions off them? If so, I'll be sure to never hire one... Comments on the speaker efficiency, etc were fine.
Lmao "sound professional"
Hey im picking up an interest in audio tech too! Any recommended forums to get started?
@@graemejohnson9025 lol what, he's got a solid state amplifier, not valve. Linearity of amplification is the aim for 99% of SS amps and especially home theatre usage, so he's not wrong at all that a higher headroom will give him a good amount more range for the amplifier to stretch it's legs before entering any distortion or clipping territory. Unless you really love that *BZZT* sound that SS has when it clips lol.
The first person on the team who actually has a decent audio setup instead of a soundbar.
soundbars are nice, but you just wont get the performance and fidelity of actual towers and a sub. (that are placed correctly with room correction)
Soundbars are perfectly fine dude. Not everyone has the budget or patience for a Home Theater setup
@@SF7PAKISTAN Obviously not everyone has the budget. With $5,000 though, yes they have a budget. That's honestly misleading anyway when the average soundbar is like $500 and you can get a set of bookshelfs and a receiver for the same price. And no, soundbars don't sound good. Unless you like having zero stereo separation.
Damn, this really comes of as a kind of toxic gatekeeping
@@Linerokillen Well it isn't. Use what you want, but saying it's all the same is a lie.
I feel like James was missing the "do NOT try this at home disclaimer" when cutting wood in his kitchen sink... at least he endorsed eye protection (while not using it haha)
Linus: "I like feet!"
_runs as if he has no feet_
Linus and James have a great dynamic. It’s really entertaining to watch
A subwoofer crawl is when you set the subwoofer in the place where the listener will be sitting, and then you literally crawl around the floor untill you hear/feel the bass at its best. Then you place that subwoofer where the bass is the best.
Also on the topic of subwoofers, really should have two for a home theater setup. Maybe he'll buy another after selling his old reciever and gpu.
@@an71v1ru5 They should create a indepth video on this topic. (Maybe sponsor james Second subwoofer for his new house. (Like video the whole set up))
Do a video on how you can fix bad acoustics! It's such an interesting subject, and James seems to know a lot about it!
7:26 "Go for it buddy"🤣🤣🤣
"I hate UA-cam Music". Yes, the truest thing I heard in this vid. Glad to find someone who's on the same page.
I changed to tidal Premium. That's how much i hate it
I had a Google Play Music subscription for 4 years but when Google tried to force me onto UA-cam Music, I switched to Spotify instead! 🤣
I agree. Yt music isn't great in terms of audio quality. If you spend so much money on a hifi system, you can also spend extra to get Tidal Hifi or Deezer Hifi.
James really is the kind of guy I think I could just hang out with and never get bored.
Linus talking about bare wire: "Usually you would sandpaper it..."
Audiophiles: *collective gasp*
I went from a yamaha receiver to a NAD. And the difference was incredible. It was a more full sound. The sound hit me like a warm chicken noodle soup for my ears. Game changer.
"Go for it buddy" How well does he know linus
Oh they bang
i just love you guys. Each person has their own diverse characters and their own interests, but everything is just complimentary. No one is trying to put another one down. Just good vibes across the board. Thank you guys! I mean it. Keep them videos coming. To better times ahead!
James's love for movies is real judging from how serious he is about his home theatre set up
Well... Considering how much he does wrong not really.. A real setup requires alot more work to get right..
@@Oystein87 They have a time frame to shoot the video mr genius. James even said he'll get used to the receiver and all the ins and outs of his setup to get the best out of it.
@@SierraAAM No exuse😅 He did things before the video and several things in the setup is wrong regardless of the timeframe. If there is bo timeframe to do it right then there is no point of doing it at all mr genius🙄
And the reciver does not help the speaker placement etc no matter what so... And room correction is not needed when the setup is done right in the first place.
@@Oystein87 you need to consider a very important thing tho, he is moving to a new place soon after this video was made, so about several weeks ago, makes no sense to try to be perfect when you would just rip it all out and redo everything in the new place anyway, the setup in the video is temporary to begin with
@@aquaventus Yes, and that makes it worse.. Then the logical thing would be to make this video after moving..🤷♂️
I love following these guys but this was just a rushed video that would be much better to do properly later instead after the move. That's just facts.
James should be second in command at ltt in case Linus goes on vacation James in a chad and knows how to handle things and get things done !
That scurry, coupled with "I like feet!" is probably the funniest thing I've seen today
