      I'm curious what thoughts you might have on why your theater rooms went unused? I'm either moving to a new home or a boat in the next year, and if I stay on land a theater room was one of my "nice to haves" for a new home.

      @@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus Typically, dedicated theater rooms are in less than welcoming environments (windowless rooms or basements) and/or simply located in areas where the family doesn't typically congregates. To me that is going to be at the top of the list as to why DHTs often go unused.

    So here is what I learned since subscribing to your channel as a member this year. I came to your channel because I wanted to get into home theatre. I was already steeped in the dark hole of audio spending thousands upon thousands on everything including outrageously expensive cables, interconnects and power blocks not to mention lots on turntables, speakers and tube gear. I lost the enjoyment of listening to music and became addicted to listening to equipment never satisfied. Out of frustration I locked all my equipment in the basement, with my 5,000 plus LPs, and 3,000 CDs twenty years ago.. I only listened to music live in small jazz venues which I have done since I was 15 years of age and am now 73. I still go with my wife of 40 years to a live jazz club every Saturday night because of the love of music. I can without question say that if you want to be in love with your spouse for 40 years find something you both love and share and keep doing it like you did when you first met and were dating. Since I joined your channel I purchased the Onkyo RZ 50, the Polk R 700s, the Polk R400 Center channel speaker, the SVS 3000 micro, the Bluesound Node, some Decware cables and a miniDSP SHD so I have both the ability to tune my room using Dirac and EQ the result as the SHD give you both options. I've used all your links so I hope you were compensated for that. What I learned is I'm not attracted to the blockbuster type movies that allow me to hear full surround sound with Dolby Atmos. I still prefer foreign films with subtitles where surround sound does not really matter although I do listen in Dolby surround. What you have both done for me however is renewed my enjoyment of listening to music in my home. I have unpacked the LPs and CDs, unpacked my Merrill turntable with the ETII arm and will be getting the Ortofon Black you recommend. So even though Home theatre turned out not be all that important to me, you have rekindled my love of of sitting down to a great album and listening to the music and not the equipment and for that I love you both. Happy New Year, be well! and I hope you had a chance to download the image I made you for your Instagram channel.

    My favorite videos are of you designing your living room space to be inviting and not a dark media room. I was going into home theater as the traditional designs go. But now I want to copy your atmos and surround setup for that same flexibility. With big and bright tv too. Projectors can eat it. Your design details and purpose for home spaces are so helpful. I’m taking notes for my setup as well.

    Finally did it. The Cornwalls were out of our budget unfortunately so we went with 3 Heresy IVs in black ash. While the stereo imaging made for a perfect center channel (just like you said of the cornwall's), it only worked great sitting in one spot with the speakers point straight at me. The Heresy IV as a center is amazing. Perfect clarity across the entire very large room. Final stages of a living room/kitchen remodel and the TV and sound engulf both the kitchen and living areas. We often sit at the bar area in the kitchen and with this setup, audio video are perfect everywhere. I HIGHLY recommend the Heresy IV as a center channel. Now, can you get one wrapped to match your amazing Cornwalls! FYI, now my surrounds and ATMOS speakers kinda suck but are OK with some tweaking....... Older version of the same Klipsch in ceilings y'all put in... You earned what ever sponsorship Klipsh gives you (if any) on these videos, thank you!

    Hi guys. Thanks so much for this post! While it may have been focused on your home theatre, I was focused on your home. I love what you've done with it. It's a calm, restful home, so easy on the eyes, while not being boring. There's lots of texture and luxury afoot. (And I'm a huge fan of your slatted walls.)
    It's also spacious, which brings up a question I may have asked before: have you tamed it well? I imagine it could be prone to a lot of echo.
    Thanks again and all the best in 2023. I look forward to more Sunday afternoons with you. Cheers from Nova Scotia.

    • @andrewrobinsonreviews
      @andrewrobinsonreviews  Рік тому +3

      Thank you for your comment and kind words. To your question, first, reflections (aka echo or reverb) aren't automatically bad. In truth, you want a nice balance of reverb and absorption for best results. If a room is too dead it will sound like --well, dead. Now, obviously we couldn't leave the room(s) alone, or leave them how they appear in our BTS walk-through footage seen in this video. Upon move in our rooms had decay times of well over a second. In the main room we just showed you the decay or RTA time is now down to a nice 0.5 - 0.6, which is what I wanted to achieve. So in the room you hear no excessive reverb. But if I were to talk to you in our kitchen some 20 or so feet away there is still some reverb in the kitchen --but that's fine. As you move about our open spaces you can definitely hear a difference one room to the next, but for the purposes of critical listening and evaluating we just need to make sure our primary listening space/area/chair etc. is balanced and free of any issues and we've done that.

    First, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. My favorite videos are the Technics G700 MkII and The McIntosh 7200 integrated amp. I've owned the Technics mkI and loved it. And Mcintosh and, those meters, have always been my dream gear. That's not to say that your other videos haven't had an effect on the way I've approached this hobby. A year and a half ago I won the Klipsch cinema 1200 soundbar. Before your channel, I would have just sold the bar, but you guys inspired me to give it a chance. I gotta say that it wasn't bad. Not bad at all. It is finicky, especially the arc feature and but it is a viable option. Of course, I still would rather have a complete AV component setup. However, since I have a theater in my basement I can get away with a simpler setup in my living room.
    I am ending the soundbar experiment, though. Well at least somewhat. I'm moving it to my bedroom. The EARC inconsistency on that thing just got to be too annoying. But I'm not going back to a complete theater in the living room either. Yep, your channel has inspired me to give a 2 channel theater system (including a sub)a try. I just bought a HIFI ROSE RS250 streamer to pair with my McIntosh in my music listening/computer room. I was using a bluesound node as my streamer, but since it has HDMI arc( a stable HDMI arc) I going to use it as a preamp, connecting it to an old Emotiva XPA 200 2 channel amp, an SVS 3000 micro, and some Emotiva T1+ tower speakers. They're not the best-looking speakers but they have a decent sound. I did end up painting them a satin blue which helps a lot.
    That's the best thing about this channel, it presents many avenues to move about in this hobby. That's why I keep watching every week.

    I gotta agree with the R700 Polk review and the conversation you guys had afterwards.I spoke to me because I'm n the industry and have been for 25 years. I learned a ton about all things audio video as well as all aspects of our industry. hanging out with Engineers etc. So many things go un said that I feel should be said. I like to be more real than fluff and mystery as most audio people and some video people do.
    I also have to comment on I'm a bit shocked you didn't go with a full Pot Reserve system as your system. You seemed to like those R700's more than any other speaker I have seen you review here and all the articles you wrote over your time in this industry. I honestly think they are the speaker for you. You should bring them back or the R600's with a full matching 5 speaker floor level system and compare it to your current system. I'm willing to bet they will move you more than your current system.
    Please keep up the great work. To just touch back on the favorites, you had many great videos , I really liked the Monitor audio ones which where very good but really, you did a great job on the R700's as I felt your passion and confusion for those speakers. They made you question if anything else would be needed in a speaker and your comments on them sold me in the fact they are your speakers. Re consider them to own, maybe try to lock down those White R700's as they would go in your room perfect or get the R600's in white.
    Thank you guys Looking forward to 2023 videos.

    I already commented about my favorite video of the year but I wanted to add that the production quality of ALL of your videos is a real, significant thing. Audiophiles/Music/HT Enthusiasts look for quality in the presentation of the music and movies we watch, why wouldn't we want that in the youtube videos covering the same thing? It's hard for me to view other audiophile YT channels with poor presentation (both in effort and ability) and not find it be a giant juxtaposition of the content they are covering. I might be out of my depth here since I don't make any YT content myself, but focus on some camera, lighting, and mic skills, and clean the messy living room. There are plenty of other YT channels that focus just on that. (Thanks for the efforts you both put into these videos. It's obvious it's something you truly care doing and it's absolutely noticeable.)

Only thing I'd say is definitely figure out a way to integrate a Heritage center. I'm currently planning to add a 3rd Cornwall for my center and not have a traditional media console at all. I'll have a small audio rack between the L and C speakers and my sub will go between the C and R speakers. (sub crawl results pending, that is)

    I have a WAY smaller space but am running Heresy II as LR in a home theater with KG 0.5 in the rear powered by Marantz NR17xx receiver (the skinny underpowered one that seems made more Klipsch and lacking for anything else less efficient). I was initially using RP-500c but got rid of it because it never sounded that good no matter how much or little I worked with EQ. I replaced it with an old B&W matrix center channel-problem solved! with only one woofer and a tweeter mounted outside the main cabinet, it's a much cleaner sound that blends with the Heresy much better. Using a cheapo Jamo sub which I might upgrade one day but for now gets the job done. The room is just too imperfect to throw more money at it.

    Thanks! I like the R700 review and audiophile commentary It was insightful. Of course your best of 2022 vid but, the Q Acoustic Concept 50 review spoke to me. The sonic capability of that speaker are what I desire. Musically with clear defined fast Bass. Sweet, not harsh treble, detail etc.. But, mostly the flawless clarity of dialogue I crave.
    Is there another speaker that is close for less money? Musically with clarity in home theater dialogue? Arendal 1961, Polk R700, Project Speaker Box 5 S2, ... If not, Concept 50 it is.

I was also surprised to see the use of a Yamaha based on some of the comments you would make regarding Yamaha, but the ability to fine tune the EQ curves would make sense for you since you really seem to know exactly what you are looking for in terms of sound quality. Curious, will you be doing a review of an Arcam AVR unit or Anthem AVR around the $3000-$3,500 dollar range in 2023? Would love to hear your perspective on those!

    Regarding my favorite of your videos this year, the Concept 50 review really stood out. I've been wondering if they'd be an upgrade over my Tekton Lore Reference with my Uniti Atom.
    I still want to hear how the Roksan is with the Cornwalls.

    Love your vids, and I agree Audyssey is garbage. But hey, I may just be an idiot but I've ran it at least 20 times, every time I switch out speakers and ALWAYS end up manually configuring everything myself. Distances are always off, as are the crossover points for the speakers. I'm the only one in my man cave 98% of the time so a tape measure and a decibel meter is all I need to set it up, to my liking. Happy New Year!

    When you do the A4A review, take the time to play with Sci-Fi DSP mode for Yamaha and do the multiangle measurement (with the tripod). The music DSP modes are all gimmicks but the movie DSP modes help with Trinnov like speaker sound field processing.
    Dirac cannot tell the difference between an LCR setup where the three speakers are lined up in the center shoulder to shoulder 10 feet away, a setup where the speakers are at 9/12/3 o’clock, or even the C is 10 feet in the ceiling, L is 10 feet in front of you and R is 10 feet to your right.
    This means that it’s dependent on good speaker placement.
    For multi use rooms like yours where the speakers might not be perfect, YPAO and Trinnov will do a better job of knowing where the speakers are relative to the listening position in terms of angles and then adapt.
    Sci-Fi is one of the least intrusive processing modes where you can pretty much leave it as is the entire time.

    Oh man, these Cornwalls are calling to me now… my current JBL HDI 3800’s are good, but lack bass below 40 Hz, airy highs, and the sheer live presence of these big boy Cornwalls. The JBL’s sound more like the “back of the arena” vs “front row”..

      @@andrewrobinsonreviews you have to consider how far back in that horn goes to get to the driver, how big the driver it's self is, then we have to add woofers next to or on top of that, and heritage woofers aren't exactly small.
      True they could probably make 6 5-8 inch woofers to go in that place, but again, we're still talking a BIG center. Elysian status

    Andrew, first time commenter longer subscriber. Where would you stack up the Anthem mrx720 for a home theater receiver? I am looking to build a system that can do both quality home theater and 2way channel music. I was just wondering if that is possible or do I need to go the separates route to achieve what am looking for. I watched your review on the klipsch's la scala for music and perhaps that could be the base of the theater experience. needless to say what I have in mind is not a dedicated home theater room but rather a 18X20 game room with an open side wall. Thanks in advance for your input.

    Very interesting that you never used your home theaters. I use my dedicated home theater weekly if not daily depending on how demanding work is at that moment. Heading back in soon cause I’m watching this on the toilet lol. Had a dedicated home theater since maybe march? And have had the family room be pulling double duty as a home theater for over two years now. Much nicer to have a dedicated space to watch content in with my GF, friends, and family.

    Thanks for all the content! What happened to the Heco Aurora 700 review? It was one of my favorite due to the conversation around room placement. I even bought the speakers as they are one of the few that do a good job blending with decor. Love them, but miss seeing the review.

    • @andrewrobinsonreviews

      We made the decision to remove our HECO review after learning two things. One, that a retailer, one we do not wish to be affiliated with, was using our review to promote the sale of their speakers without our permission. And two, it was communicated to us that HECO is unlikely to be supported here in the US long term. Therefor, it is our recommendation that North American customers consider alternative solutions and ultimately why we pulled the remove. To be clear, we have nothing against HECO. They make a great speaker.

      I think I have to mention that all movies today, from streaming to theatrical, are 7.1.4 at the minimum. This is the starting point these days. Also this 7.1.4 is the standard for Atmos Music.
      My favorite videos (sorry can't remember if it's one or two), are those about the construction of the space and acoustics. I think that it's a good idea to add more videos and suggestions like these in your future content. Also, if I an allowed to ask, I am very interested to see your house guys. Make a video about that, if course only what you want to share. I am full in about interior design to.
      Thank you for the time to share this year with us. Have a great new one.
