    For me, it's important to get solid on the basics. The vast majority of content out there is at most 5.1 surround sound. Invest in those speakers first - especially the fronts - and think of expansion later.

    Great info as always. I love how you get to the point, but maintain such a sincere and relaxed attitude. Dual subs made a massive difference in my room and taking the sub crossover down to 70hz really helped as well. I like the subs to only kick in for the really low effects. It can ruin the movie if every car door closing, or every low voice (Batman) comes out of the subs. I am guilty of running my subs way too hot though... Keep the good vids coming man!

  • @Just_a_Proud_Dad
    @Just_a_Proud_Dad 2 роки тому +8

    I agree with you on the dual subwoofers with one exception. I just purchased the Monolith M-215 dual 15 inch 2000watt sub, and I can honestly say, I have never been in any theater, IMAX included that comes anywhere close to my dedicated theater. You feel every explosion as if it’s actually happening. Absolutely unbelievable performance.

  • @LarsRR
    @LarsRR 3 роки тому +3

    I guess the by far most common mistake is focusing components, names and shiny surfaces over a good concept.
    As a German, I find this especially obvious in American HTs in UA-cam. Most people have a rather small screen directly on the wall, because the shiny speakers need to fit around it. Not only are floor standing speakers often times not needed nor favorable in sound (the emit low frequencies in every direction), they are also significantly more expensive than on wall or in wall solutions. That money should be spent on acoustic treatment instead, since a cheap speaker will play much better in an acoustically treated room, than an expensive speaker plays in a bare room.
    Most rooms I see on UA-cam have zero acoustic treatment in their room, and basically no one has sufficient low frequency treatment. Dampening your room in low frequencies and therefore mitigate booming frequencies will do a lot more, than just blindly buying two woofers because this is apparently always better...
    I don’t want to be too harsh, but cables and number of subwoofers are hardly the problem in most home theatres. Feel free to disagree, but I myself wasted loads of money on shiny speakers with famous brand names to get mediocre results. Now, I have everything hidden I a baffle wall, with an SBA and it plays better than it ever did before + better than 99% of home theaters I have heard. That is all at LOWER cost than before. A CONCEPT is what makes and breaks a good cinema and this is probably the best advice I can give...

Budget is low but as you said concept is key. Have an older denon receiver, TV to purchase with lots of wiring, insulation & choosing non wireless for quality. HDMI over cat6. Any other advice given? Thanks in advance

However, I'm finding that I need to purchase a new 4K Home Theater Receiver. Your videos have helped me move this project into the today and tomorrow range rather than the maybe someday range, thanks. However, I would love to see an episode on 4K Home Theater receivers that work with atmos systems in the different fields of price points $1K, 2K, 3K, and up for Q4 of 2020 and 2021. Again, thanks for your videos and your opinion on things to look out for in Home Theaters for the home.

    Great video and awesome room man! I just subscribed and can't wait to watch more of your stuff! Anyway, I have to say in my personal experience I've never had good results from running auto calibration on an AVR, so I just stopped using it because it never sets the levels or crossover correctly... no matter what the room or brand AVR! I always get great results using an SPL Meter and tape measure, so that would be my recommendation to anyone who tried Auto Cal and didn't get good results.

    Oh man, thank you for explaining the subwoofer crawl! I’ve seen it mentioned on so many forum threads but never with an explanation. I had been assuming it meant put the sub in different places and see how it sounds. This seems way less time consuming/tedious.
    With everything else I’m trying to do (including getting a permit to build a wall), every little concept adds to an overwhelming experience. The sheer cost of this little project is stressful enough.

    Bro your vid’s helped me a bunch. I created a budget home theatre buying used on my local buy and sell website. I lucked out buying. Got some good stuff cheap. I was in a rental when I did it. (Pre Covid). I since bought a home. Took that system from my rental and built a dedicated room for it by following your advice. It was smaller than I wanted. But it worked. I have now added sound diffusion and absorption. Helped so much. COVID’s now over. Saw maverick Thor love and thunder in regular and Jurassic park dominion in 3D in the theatre while I was away at work. Maverick was awesome. Only problem the guy in front of me was leaning back into my crotch the whole movie. He is lucky I had scrubbed down there before the show. Like seriously bud…. WTF! Thor love and blunder wasn’t worth the ticket price. And real 3D on JPD had no depth compared to my DLP link system. My cheap home system blew everyone of those experiences away. I can’t imagine the hurtles in front of the industry when I can get a better theatre experience at home for under a grand. Can’t wait to see maverick in my power recliner without a dude between my legs the whole time. Hopefully they release it in bluray 3D!
