TV Stand brand? Thanks. Love the mood even if its a bit open, gives people with similar floor plan some ideas
That’s the idea! I have a dedicated room too so it’s perfect for me
Hello I am here in Orlando FL USA, any Idea of who I can contact for a hometheater?
Hello I am here in Orlando FL USA, any Idea of who I can contact for a hometheater?
Awesome room. Million dollar home theaters are nice and all but I'd rather see practical home theaters for normal people. Again, it's cool to see a home theater where money is no object but what am I supposed to get out of that besides jealousy? I'll never be able to afford 90% of the items most of those HTs feature. And even though the complete $40k price tag is out of reach for me but I can see myself getting a similar result for a much more reasonable $20k (if I cheap out on the custom bits, skip the Valencia seats, buy used components, etc)
I’m with you brother , couldn’t agree more . Most enthusiasts that enjoy Home Theatre probably fall into that category.
I kinda of have the bests of both worlds with my other setup costing me around $140K all up - but this space is less money, less fancy but I built it the right way - made very targeted choices to give me the best bang for buck. I see a lot of people who don't know better spending too much money in one area and not another. My upstairs setup is very balanced and lean and gives me the exact performance I'm after. Hence why I do UA-cam - I want to help as many people as I can for free!
I was gonna say, this isn't a million dollar home theater 😂.
What are you expecting to see?
Something next to the kitchen with heights mounted on the ceiling and cable runners? That's what I have.
It's a great temporary solution, but my wife only allowed it because she wants me to eventually move it in the basement. I'm surprised I got this far.
I didn't have the money for a lot of AV equipment for most of my life, but I eventually found ways of getting close. If you do it right, it'll raise the value of your home as well.
There's another guy on UA-cam who shops at thrift stores and buys that stuff. Old movie theater speakers, used projectors, and saving up to build a room or doing it yourself like my dad and friends have done.
The room might cost $15K and be $100K of value.
Well done Tone. I’d be proud for this to be my primary space for watching movies. Great effort, and thanks for sharing.
Thank you! It looks better in person - hard to capture the feeling when you're sitting there but I did my best.
@@BuildMontage I imagine it does. I’m currently helping a friend fit out a room with in wall Krix Megaphonix for the LCRs, and have the same thought when looking back at photos.
Soo excited. I’ve been waiting for this for ages 🎉
Thank you for watching!
Sweet setup for that space. Krix speakers are amazing.
They sure are!!
TONYS BACK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HAHA thanks mate!
Yes the great reveal 👍
Thank you for watching!
Awesome use of that space, screen looks real good!
Thank you! Cheers!
Epic room that the whole family can enjoy, well done!
Thanks mate #milkbuns
Great set up Tony
Thank you :D
I enjoy watching video clip you have very nice set-up in the room you did a great job.
Thanks Gaary for watching!
This is an awesome room and an awesome video. When you have a room like this, it’s a lot less formal than a dedicated room , so it gets used more. Also, for those of us with living room setups, we had to deal with some of the same challenges. Great, great. Video
Thanks for watching :)
Amazing system setup there brother keep up the good work ❤️💯❤
Thanks, will do!
Has been great watching this room evolve from your initial UST review room to a room now many would still envy!
Much appreciated!
Fantastic room Tony! Thank you for sharing 👍 I also have a dedicated home cinema room with a 5.1.4 setup and a smaller setup in my mancave in a 5.1.2 configuration. It's funny to think that in the beginning I thought I was wasting money when setting up my mancave, but I found myself using it everyday, especially for TV shows which I mostly watch alone
100% it's something for us to enjoy and relax in.
I'm not jealous at all of your 2.5 home theaters in your home 😜. The room is looking great, and no doubt it's sounding great, well done.
lol! You have an awesome setup mate - I just push the envelope a little with the Mrs 😝 I love this room - it’s super cozy and gives great audio and video. Catch up soon mate
great room buddy
Very cool!!
Thanks!
Nice
Looks good
Thanks!
Very nice, gypsy!
Gypsy?! 😂 wut!?
@@BuildMontage from Borat of course lol.
Wow. Stumbled across this vid, and gotta say.. mad respect for what you’ve done! Everything seems really well thought out and implemented! If I could snap my fingers, this is pretty much exactly what I’d like for my startup system when we move into a new rental house! 🎉. Never heard of Krix before but they look well made (the speakers remind me of Arendal drivers).
Ps. It would be really awesome if you could go into more detail on exactly how you set each component up (for example, walk thru each speaker and it’s placement, how you were able to hook it up, why you did it that way, what kind of speaker wire and issues you had to deal with etc. prob take too long but def intrigued. 🎉
Pps. I’d love to see a super large infrasonic sub installed to your system! Like maybe a diy 21/24” gsg/SI ;) 🎉
Thanks for the msg. Yes, everything in this setup was very thoroughly mapped and planned out. Krix is an Australian brand - if you look on my channel page you will find lots of videos on them as well as my other setups. This room specifically was my "budget" room even though it still cost quite a bit, it was built to be practical but also perform better than average. I have done two prior videos to the reveal - I did link them in the cards of the video - you can check out the journey as I explain quite a few things but also changed a few things along the way too!
Great video. I sent it as proof to my wife that there are others like me! I notice your surrounds are slightly asymmetrical. Mine are too due to windows. I can’t even tell once it’s calibrated. Some people would tell you not to bother unless you have a textbook setup like Dolby states, but those people would be missing out! Enjoy.
100% I had to place the surrounds at the best possible location based on the constraints of the room. Perfect is the enemy of good - this setup sounds really awesome - and if i was too much of a perfectionist, like you say, I would have missed out!
Hey Tony :D
Great video! Do you have a recommendation for a similar screen, which is also acoustically transparent?
Cheers
No I don't actually from personal testing - I have seen screen innovations make some alr screens for long throw but I havent actually reviewed or tested.
Great vid bro, and this is not your main setup !!!!
Excuse me but most people would be over the moon if this was their main setup .... looks fantastic.
Sound makes up most of the movie experience so your setup should sound awesome.
I love lighting so I will check out your links ..... cheers mate and enjoy that setup.
I live in QLD but I was in Sydney easter weekend to watch "& Juliet" musical at the Lyric Theatre.
Thank you :) I know, I am a little spoilt having two setups but I do also use them both for UA-cam videos and demonstrations, plus I also sell Valencia chairs so I use them as a sales tool too! Thanks for watching!
How do you angle the front speaker. I need something for my epicentrix please ! Love the channel.
For sure! I used window packers from Bunnings - they are long and angled like a door stopper. Gives a nice angle up.
Hey great video. I love the tv stand. What brand name and model is it ?
Thanks! The unit is called Elino - www.1place.com.au/products/vala-wooden-entertainment-tv-unit-2?sku=DACO4090
We need a futon version of those seats, like the cheap on shown in my video Named Home Guest Game Theater Room.
Great room Tony! Thanks for showing us your Grand Barcelona seats. I just heard that D-BOX has discontinued their Home/Residential offering. Any comments or further information on that? I was about to get two seats with D-BOX ... but it maybe a dead technology for the home. Keep the reviews/videos coming, their awesome! Cheers.
I believe that they are still available for now but moving forward it's hard to say where they will end up with dbox. Of that I have no info.
@BuildMontage - Yeah, they are still available until 30th April 2024 and then Valencia and Wavetrain guys are discontinuing them in their seats. Information is just coming to light now. It's a shame as I really liked it. Maybe the high costs put people off and they are just sticking with the commercial theaters. I hate to think what happens to the people that already bought them for the home...
great review top man!!
Much appreciated!
Great video. Those Govee Star Projectors look good, Where do you buy them from please.
amzn.to/4b1iHeK
Thanks
Where did you get the low console that the center channel and receiver sit on?
TV Unit - bza6.short.gy/b7cRPF
@@BuildMontage Thanks!
Great video Tony❤
Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Thanks for watching
hey buddy. love those chairs. are they the regular size or the Xl size?
Hey mate, they are the standard (ultimate luxury grand barcelona) which are already huge. I know there is a slim version, I wasnt aware there was an even bigger version but that could help with the length of the recline. I'm only 5'7" and it is about the right length for me, so taller people may find a bigger version more comfortable.
@BuildMontage very nice man.. im contemplating getting them.
Definitely my favourite of all the Valencia chairs so far - the headrest retracting is a huge bonus for me, especially as when its only me, I dont have any audio being blocked.
I'm in the market for a new centre speaker, any chance of a review of that centre speaker? Not alot around that I can find.
I am making a video soon on the importance of a center channel, and I will be reviewing the three center channels I have in 3 of my setups - so stay tuned. You can watch my earlier videos in this build series where I chat about it a bit more but Vortex is an incredible speaker.
If i lived in australia i would diy everything i could.
It's more expensive here haha!
@BuildMontage --- Does it matter if the drivers are on the top or bottom, can't you just stand the speakers upside down if needed?.
Not if the tweeter is down the bottom no….
@@BuildMontage--- But can't you just stand the speaker upside down and then the tweeters would be on the top, no?
Hey do you know if krix is available to ship to canada?
I dont believe so just now, however if you found someone to buy and ship that could be an option but wouldn't be supported by Krix.
Hey Mate, what ceiling mount are you using?
Its this - amzn.to/4aTEdlW - I'd only recommend for light weights though!
@BuildMontage Thanks mate. Using the Horizon Ultra aswell so should be fine. 🫡
Given that you’re using 4 x Atmos Ceiling Speakers, is there a reason you didn’t purchase the IC-52 speakers instead enabling you to angle all four towards the main listening position? (Major struggles with getting good Atmos here!)
I didn’t need to as I was able to position them correctly without compromise and the dispersion of the speaker is perfect so I get really good Atmos. I have 6 x ic52 in my main room as I had to put them slightly off axis - that’s really the only reason you would need to get those. In the case of this room I didn’t have to worry about that.
How much you losing sound wise between this living room vs the dedicated?
I don't feel like I'm "losing" anything as I still get incredible audio/visuals up here but it just feels more casual. It's still very immersive and sounds great, but the dedicated room is more intimate, feels like you're in a black hole and surrounded by the audio and video. It's just a "different" experience more than losing anything. Sometimes I prefer this space to my dedicated room for certainthings like sports or tv shows.
I love your theater ! I can't decide to buy Horizon Ultra or JMGO N1 Ultra. Now i think Horizon Ultra is better, because it has optical zoom. Do you think it's wright idea?
I had the JMGO and switched to th XHU because I wanted the optical zoom. If it had lens shift it would be EVEN better. The JMGO had better contrast though I am more happy with the XHU all round which is why I switched it.
@@BuildMontage Thank you for your reply. I always watch your channel from japan!
@user-lr6rn2ww5z awesome!!! 🙌 I
In comparison with other projectors, I was wondering how quiet the XGIMI projector was? And while you're there, if you know of any projectors under $2,500 that happened to be exceptionally quiet. Cheers
It is VERY quiet.. I don't even hear it at all. Absolutely love this thing and I have about 10 projectors in my house I could pick from.
Thumb rule for home theatre get decent amp because they last for decades if you get good brand … Second thing don’t go for powerful heavy subwoofer very first time , if in future you decide to upgrade it’s easy to move them out and if it’s your forever home put nice speaker cables like audio quest and run good hdmi cables for the projector and also enough cables for 13 or 15 channel pre amp so that in future you are not doing it again if you are building your room from scratch . Always plan to put projector outside room so that screen would not shake from bass
Thanks for your feedback - are you referring this advice to me or to the community?
@@BuildMontage I am saying in general, you have been reviewing HT stuff for long and you know much more than me 👍 I am saying from my personal preference I have home theater with Golden ears and 2 SVS PB 16 ultra
Very Nice room.
Thank you!
I forget how high that AUD pricing is! I converted to USD and it comes out to around $27,000 as of day of video release
You may find it better to google the pricing of the gear - it kinda evens out even in USD - a straight conversion wont work as you're looking at the wholesale cash rate, not the retail conversion of your dollars into mine - it still is way more favourable in USD tho for sure.
@@BuildMontage Fair point! You're listing MSRP as well (I think?) and not listing deals and what you actually paid. Many of us in this hobby find great deals to save big money
@@TorinTPG if u know u know ;)
@@BuildMontage Deals are the only way I was able to afford my setup.
This is the way...
Which setup do you use more ?
Watching other youtubers I think lounge room setups where the family is gets the most use.
I use this setup more but my dedicated room is “better” for a one off blockbuster.
@@BuildMontage Best to spend quality family time, you will have plenty of spare time in the future when kids leave home.
I regret not spending more time with my kids, hobbies come and go but family is everything !!!!
Absolutely. My best experiences in the rooms are with the family.
If only you move the seating forward to compensate for the side surround locations. It will become perfect!
I thought I explained why I can't and truthfully, you cant tell that it's not directly in line with your ears. The speakers are angled as such.. There would be no point in compromising on the viewing angle by having the chairs right up close to the screen just to have the side surrounds in the text book perfect position. That is why I made this video - to show people that perfect is the enemy of good and compromise for the greater good is the name of the game :)
@BuildMontage --- Nice setup, but I notice your don't have a VCR, so unfortunately I can only rate this 1/10.
Damn!! Do u have a spare one you can send me???
@@BuildMontage--- Sorry, no spares... I only have one VCR, a JVC HR-J630U.
That beard has gotten LONG in your absence from videos!
Yes it has! I'm back baby!
@@BuildMontage hell yeah!
👌
"These speakers are probably overkill for the space..." - Lies! It is never an overkill!
This is so true - sorry for the lies!
no offense but no nulls from subs!? never heard of such perfection without loads of bass traps and moving away from wall like that.
Because it’s calibrated :) the bass is crazy.
@@BuildMontage nulls are nearly impossible to fix, calibration mostly tackles peaks. love to see the FR graphs though.
@patrickmiller4987 honestly I don’t take the room seriously enough to worry too much about it. I have a minidsp which I took from my main setup as I have a Trinnov there now. All I know is the rumble and feeling I get in the chair is crazy good. Next time I crank open REW I’ll take a reading. I’m not sure why me saying that I have no bass issues in my room is a point of contention for you. Do u think I’m lying about how good the bass is? I have zero reason to and have been brutally honest about the shortcomings of my setups - I’ve made entire playlists on the topic. But this room sounds insanely good after all the calibration and tweaking.
@@BuildMontage No sir. Im sure it sounds great, and systems can sound awesome with some nulls, most people wouldnt notice unless it was pointed out with a frequency sweep. Two more subs towards the back or sides would be cool!
I guess my comment of no nulls was more descriptive of the experience than representative of a flat response on a chart. There is a tonne of rumble and tactile response in the seated position. 50-70hz is pretty punchy and I guess what I mean is I've experienced setups with subs where there is literally no rumble and no tactile in the seated position. My dedicated room was absolutely awful and I have four subs in there - but the Trinnov completely fixed everything in there, time align, impulse and phase - if I could have a Trinnov upstairs as well I would :)
Second
First!
All that stuff piled up in front of the screen is very distracting.
Not to me! I love looking at the gear that runs the setup :)
Nice
Thanks
