[@Youthman]

You asked for longer content and more feedback from the homeowners on the how and why. In this Home Theater Tour, Ryan will share all of the details of his home as well as his incredible journey along the way. For those joining the premiere, runtime is 1hr 22min.

[@M-J-P]

Late to say, My vote for longer video. 🙏 This one is fun to watch.

[@da7omi911]

too long i didnt see any equipment , I like feedback and ideas from the owner but the most important thing is equipment dosnt matter the length of the video

[@Youthman]

Based on the comments, most have said they prefer hearing the story behind the Home Theaters. My Florida Tour in January will like be a hybrid of both formats.

[@Youthman]

If you didn’t see any equipment, you didn’t watch the video. 😉

[@edwarner504]

@@Youthman exactly 😂

[@hollisbethel6638]

Great job. Can you show the whole setup before the interview next time.

[@Youthman]

Yes the next tour could be a hybrid video where we do a quick intro Tours nothing super detailed and then go into the conversation. Still trying to find what format works best

[@johnscott4385]

I really like these longer format videos. It’s nice to give the time to explain the vision, the build, likes and regrets. Since I’m not lucky enough to have a local group of enthusiasts, it helps me think through my own theater. Thanks again for another great video.

[@Youthman]

Thanks John I was concerned they may be too long but it seems on the comments that the vast majority of people really like the longer format

[@cbennett1]

I preferred the previous format personally, i like the proper tours. A conversation like this while moving around and showing the relevant parts of the room would be nice, or a shorter tour followed by a sitdown like this. Just my 2 cents. Still enjoyed it, glad you do these, they're always interesting and informative. Thanks!

[@Youthman]

Thanks for the feedback Codie. Future Tours possibly could be a hybrid of both

[@oszkarhathazi2305]

Yeah. Me too. Talking for 90 minutes about the gear which I then have to search on Google is not fun.

[@fstrati]

I second this. The conversation is very helpful. It would be good to first get an overview / general view of the room.

[@Youthman]

Honest question, you don’t want to search Google for the equipment. Are you wanting me to do it for you?

[@chrisorta9514]

Mee to ! 👍🏽

[@jvonengeln]

Ryan, thanks for hosting a spot on Youthman’s KC tour. Your room after the calibration with Storm was better than ever! Congrats on the great HT room! Good job with the interview, your seemed very comfortable on camera!

[@Youthman]

I’m looking forward to sharing all of these great home theaters

[@Kamuigod2001]

I love these longer format interviews / tours a lot better! It creates a much stronger connection with the people and instead of just seeing a ton of expensive gear, it feels more "real" hearing how they got to that point and why they chose the things they did and how / why they appreciate it. Please keep this format! :D

[@Youthman]

Thank you for the feedback

[@jaywaller9125]

Awesome video Youthman. Really enjoyed it along with meeting Ryan who seems to be a really great owner!

[@Youthman]

Thank you for the kind words Jay

[@Triggaaar]

When you go around great home theaters like this, it's really difficult to suggest anything you'd change, especially given that we all have different preferences, so good job on giving Ryan some honest feedback on what you'd do differently.

[@jcfitch3194]

Learning from others' experiences is invaluable, especially for us DIY guys. I'm on my second soundproofed DIY theater, and what I learned from the first time could fill a book. This longer format and less "formal" discussion was enjoyable, and I learned a lot of applicable lessons to my current build still in process. And you cannot go wrong with the KC crew, arguably the Mecca of home theater.

[@Youthman]

I REALLY appreciate the feedback JC

[@rp6760]

Maybe just share a short clip of the demo experience as well. Would be nice to see the emotions (from you and the proud owner). And what stuff was played movie clip/ music. Keep up the great work really enjoy these tours 👌

[@Youthman]

Thank you for the feedback. I did that in one of the videos, you can see my reaction in the homeowners reaction from his HoverEZ

[@TheArthilles]

Loving the new format! Learning a lot from other's journey. Keep up the great work! And thanks to everyone opening your home and explaining your journey!

[@Youthman]

Thank you for the kind words Ryan

[@vincenardella9366]

Awesome home theatre! You both did amazing long format video. I liked that he asked you to be open and honest with what you liked and how you would change. It was cool to see the story of his home theatre 🎥 mistakes and planning for the future. Definitely one of the best yet.

[@CoachCole71]

Definitely a fan of this style tour. Had a podcast feel to it but enough b roll to get a visual on the conversation. Made it feel like I was there involved in the conversation. Can’t wait to see the other theaters!

[@bhrugutrivedi34]

My eyes where 🤩 like this whole video ❤️🙏🏻👌😍

[@housbinpharteen7445]

Love the chit chat about his whole experience , just wished you went around the room first and showed the system , screen , you know the drill then sat down and had the chat... but all in all Awesome! Loved when the guy said he got his speakers and had to bring them down to his HT room and he was alone doing it , as a guy i can relate because you just want that stuff there and no matter how i'm gonna do it ... lol

[@MikeGebbia]

I really like the longer content, enjoy hearing all the details and all of the challenges that were faced during the build.

[@mikev8341]

Lov it, would of made it a bit shorter on the conversation and combined the actually walking around the theater as you have done in the past. Overall great video, great theater and great homeowner.

[@Youthman]

Thanks for the feedback Mike. Future Tours may be a hybrid of both

[@chasandreae4178]

I really like the longer format. Hearing why people made certain decisions is just super fun. Please keep the long version.

[@Youthman]

Thank you for the feedback. A lot of people seem to be enjoying this new format.

[@maxguerrero556]

Very much enjoyed the video. Great work Youthman! This video encourages me to keep my system (ML 15a’s and C34 center) was close to trying something different.

Man this is one beautiful set up. Wow I'm impressed.

[@michaelbutny7020]

Great video Mike and greatly appreciate the time and effort it takes to do these tours. The 1 thing I want to add is I would like to see more video and conversation on the equipment. Thanks again and I look forward to your upcoming videos.

[@Youthman]

Thank you Michael. The next tour might be a hybrid of sorts where we do a short walk through of the equipment and then have a conversation after that. Still trying to figure out the best format just trying some new things to see what you guys like the best

[@AeroDude73]

This is just a talking only video? 🤨

[@Youthman]

Conversation + Broll of his setup

[@shawnblackmur7887]

Agreed on more detail on the equipment and what they like or dislike (and what they learned in the journey). I like the more detailed sit down and detailed discussions with the owners. Thanks for all your hard work Youthman!

[@Eurica76]

Great job on this room. I got to give him credit using Martin Logan Electrostats . So that makes his home theater unique from other room and he has a very different sound signature. I'm doing the same with my theater now I'm going with in-wall Dali speakers and not the normal brand speakers everyone else using. Great job

[@Youthman]

That was one of the things he told me that he wanted a Theater room that was quite different from the standard. It worked out extremely well in his set up

[@HomesAtHeart]

I liked the Wisconsin tour format. If you are taking the time for a sit down like this, I wouldn’t mind a 2nd video in this format. But primarily, I want to see the room and equipment.

[@Youthman]

Thanks for the feedback. Interestingly enough, so far, the Wisconsin / Illinois videos have much lower analytics.

[@shawnpahotabie7719]

If i was asked to choose between an expensive home theatre or a great stereo equipment.. i'd be like please give me that couch.. i can feel it in my brain how comfy it is..

[@Dark_Vader888]

I'm with the owner regarding a large sectional in my 16 x 21 dedicated home theater/listening room. It makes the room 100% more useable as my wife, children and dogs love to stretch out and just relax whether we are watching a movie or just listening to music.

[@esjovold6572]

Great video. I watched while I was cooking and eating supper. Again gave me some good ideas to incorporate into my theater. Mine has along ways to go to get to the level of these room you are touring but I’m learning. It would be interesting to experience a room like these rooms.

[@Youthman]

Glad you’re enjoying the videos. My hope is that they will provide value to those that are building their own systems.

[@dillonquackenbush3895]

All I have to say is WOW! This was such a great experience. Something about seeing an upload from you and knowing it was going to be an hour and a half made it such an event for me and the family. We absolutely loved it. Made popcorn, laid down on the couch and threw the video on and kicked back. I love this new format. I think it was really cool. One possible idea and honestly this might have actually been included and I just don't remember but a quick video walk through of the home theater space with maybe some ambient music playing along would be cool. So like you walking with the camera in a first person view or something and going around the room, getting close ups of the equipment and placement, etc. I think that would be a cool way to make a video introduction and then transition it to sitting on the couch or seats, that would be pretty cool. I just get so excited to see the space haha. But honestly that is me literally just being nit picky, if that wasn't to change I would still tune in and just like tonight, me and the family would love it. Thanks so much for dropping this video, you guys really offered a lot of great advice and cool stories that we can relate to. So again, thanks and beautiful room man!!!

[@Youthman]

Wow Dillon, I’m truly humbled by your comments. I’m truly grateful to know that you are enjoying the videos. Great idea about the short room tour at the beginning. I may try that hybrid approach for the Florida Home Theater Tour in January

[@kdawg5069]

I second this comment! Youthman, for me,, this format is kinda like the old show "lifestyles of the rich and famous" but for HT. One recommendation maybe to have times stamps throughout the video on the different topics. I frequently find myself coming back to your videos for referencing and research! Keep up the amazing work!!!

[@Youthman]

Great idea on time stamps. I could go back and add those. 😉

Nice interview. Don't mind the length. Was worried about it thow the length but enjoyed it!. Have home theater but with TV. Don't think would go in projector that's a whole new world lolllllllll. I have Atmos speaker I put two above couch. Was not great, that try four above couch wow the difference. My system is a 5.2.2. Yamaha receiver Atmos you can set up to front, above or rear configuration. But a game changer change my blue ray player LG to Panasonic one. Boy now I see a huge difference in Atmos effects, sound quality and image quality. Have 15 speakers and 2 sub's in a very small living room. But always considering my neighbor. Since I live in and appartement. Thanks love these tours. Learn from them also.

[@Youthman]

Thank you Robert. Glad you enjoyed the video

[@thebrowncinema]

Youthman this was the perfect Sunday morning wake up and just hang out on the couch and put this on the tv kind of morning! Loved it. I think this is where your videos should move towards, learning more about why people do things and how they did them. The more in depth discussions is really good and very beneficial for everyone for sure! One thing I wish you would have done is a tour of his room first and show off his whole room and have him tell you about his equipment before show casing the discussion. The reason I say that is when you guys were talking about things, I just didn’t know what it looked like or even what equipment he was running to really follow along in the discussion. So for me I would say do the tour and equipment list then jump into the discussion. As much as I love the discussion part, I really enjoy looking at peoples gear, their room, how they did things and learn so for me that’s a huge part of watching your videos. The length didn’t bother me at all so I know this is more work to make longer videos ect, but man I think your on to something here! Keep up the great work, your channel is growing into something very special!

My only question for this magnificent home theater owner is whether or not he tried a REL 3-D sub setup. What a stunning setup 🤩 loved this long format. Congratulations to the homeowner for such a beautiful job; great to see fellow AV nerds chat about their gear!

[@Youthman]

Not sure if Ryan has or not. REL isn’t in the same league of performance as JTR.

[@GadgetyMV]

Cool with the lights on the electrostats and the voice control is genius! I'm intrigued in finding someone who uses dipolar speakers in a home theater, against the walls, and how it's been integrated with Dirac, which apparently is made for monopolar loudspeakers (according to them). Usually dipoles need some room behind them to prevent reflections and sound bouncing back. Finding the right amplifiers that can handle 0.5 Ohm is not easy, either. Very interesting and no nonsense presentation. Doing the blind testing of amplifiers, so great! One thing I would have appreciated would have been the schematic of the amps and speakers. Great stuff!

[@ryankramer]

We did. We tried multiple settings at the projector shoot out from that thread just to make sure we weren’t crazy. The LG would beat the Epson in a room with lighter walls and some ambient light, but in this room, the strengths of the Epson came out on top for this environment. The black floor deficiency of the LG was just too much to ignore.

Mike, your intro music sounds phenomenal on the Micca RB42's and a Emotiva BasX A-150 lol

Thanks Jerry. That is from my subscription to epidemic sound. Royalty free music

[@adamjj85]

Very cool theater. I know you're trying different formats, but I think I'm in the boat that prefers the other format with a more focused tour of the room and gear with a more brief discussion. Maybe 40 minutes at most. I really enjoyed the last one you did with Bruce, comprehensive but focused and to the point. This one was a real time commitment.

[@Youthman]

I certainly appreciate the feedback Adam. Yes definitely trying some new things.

[@mariagiordano3902]

thats allot of amps , I have 2 QSC 3602 that I run 4 buttkickers on each , I tried a bunch of amps in different configurations , I put 2 buttkickers on each channel in parallel and im using all of the amp and sounds and feels just right . I love gear but how many circuits did you have to install . I have 1 20a for my buttckicker rack these amps pull 10.5 amps each

[@JustinDgr8]

You look real comfortable there youthman 😂

[@Youthman]

Just chillin

If you ever come to CT, you are welcome to visit my theater 🙏 Love the channel

I enjoy the long format videos also. Be cool if you had some photos of the build process also to go along with the story.

[@Youthman]

You mean like in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/omaxYn-Va9yimJY

[@Keep_Freedom_Free]

@@Youthman yeah the photos help us see and feel the journey. I wish you had a picture of the cloud panel with the fan coming through. I found myself tilting my phone to try and see the ceiling haha

[@Youthman]

Yeah it’s one of those things where you film and then after you film you go back and shoot B roll to add to the original video and I completely forgot to get a B roll shot of the fan. Lol he literally cut a hole through one of the panels and has the ceiling fan drop through it it was pretty cool

[@lboogie9362]

Nice video. Wish there was just a simple walk through of equipment. Finally know klipsch. Yeah😁😁😁

[@Youthman]

Thanks for the recommendation. Still trying some new things to see what format works best. Certainly appreciate the feedback

[@DannyBGoode1]

I don't mind the hour+ length of the video, but would love to see you actually tour the room/hardware in that time!

[@Youthman]

Thanks Danny. For the Florida tour in January, that’s the format I’m going to try next. A short room tour, then I sit down in-depth discussion about their journey

[@1979Weasel]

What are the 8. and 9. speaker actually playing? Are they playing the same as the 7. speaker, or are they fed a different signal form the avr? thanks

[@jvonengeln]

The Storm Processor has it's own proprietary upmixer, and Dolby Atmos Objects are feed discreetly to every speaker.

[@texxhexxmm]

What comes Out of the 6 Atmos speakers?? I wanted to Upgrade my Marantz with the mm7025 for 5.2.6 but even Marantz does Not know what will Happen😂 i would add a top middle pair to my four Height Speaker..

[@Youthman]

Ryan uses a Storm Audio 32ch processor.

[@djslim10]

@youthman how do you choose the home theaters?

[@jvonengeln]

Youthman contacted the Kansas City group through the Wisconson group he toured previously, specifically Tony (SOWK). We selected an assortment of theaters from our local group we thought would be fun to share with his users. Youthman let us have the liberty of choosing the demo hosts.

[@HomeCinemaJunkie]

Noooo I just ordered a LG! Thanks for pointing out the problems - I will order the 6050ub instead. Since I will only have a 100" screen, pixel size wont hopefully be a problem.

[@junior-OG]

lol

[@Youthman]

I can’t speak for all LG, just this particular unit that he had looked terrible

[@jvonengeln]

@@Youthman This is the only negative thing I heard Youthman say all weekend during his tour of KC. And it's true! Get an Epson over that LG - we did a shootout between the 5050UB and the LG 810 and the 5050UB won across the board, IMO.

[@HomeCinemaJunkie]

@@jvonengeln Yeah, I'm glad I got the Epson instead! I'm going 133" cinemascope screen so the lens memory is priceless since you can enjoy 16:9 in this case too.

[@Youthman]

Epson makes a great projector. I enjoyed my 5040 until upgrading to my JVC NX7

[@dom_delacroix7424]

Love it brother you are like me and the wife with my hobby. Iys best to just do it and ask for forgiveness later. I laughed when you said you flipped the subs up the steps. I did the samething with the monolith m215s. They wouldn't bring them in the house just dropped them in the garage and left. Whole time my wife is asking me what is that. 🤣🤣🤣

[@JairusJ]

Is there a group in North Carolina I want to get involved with a home theater group

[@BrettinFLA]

Have you come across any home theaters with JL Audio yet? $20 ,000 Gotham sub.

[@VGiena]

For there being more phono players than AURO listeners. Seems like alot of rooms setup for AURO. 😆 joe wins again! These episodes are awesome great job youthman. Ultimate Home theater road dogs !

[@Youthman]

Most of these rooms are not set up for AURO. Even this one wasn’t He just ran wiring for the voice of God speaker if he wanted to add it down the road. I told Joe the one room that did have an AURO-3D set up, we switched back-and-forth between AURO-3D, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and we all preferred the detail of the Dolby Atmos.

[@VGiena]

@@Youthman no VOG channel but the rooms so far look like the height channels are closer to the sidewalls resembling height channels in the AURO configuration.

[@Youthman]

AURO wants a 30 degree angle. These are definitely much higher than that.

[@VGiena]

@@Youthman looks like the owner did compromise on the layout to run more then one codec rather than an ATMOS specific configuration . See a center height in the setup. Doing the same on my secondary system i prefer center above the screen then under the panel. Good stuff.

[@Youthman]

The center height was added because he had an extra speaker and his processor supported it

[@richardzagozeski892]

How about 8 : 18 inch subwoofers (2 in each room corner)

[@TimE-sn1pu]

I watch so many of these videos at so many dif monetary levels of commitment what are you achieving at each of these levels of financial investments. Have personally invested alot at my budget level but I see these guys on here speaking of specific equipment costing thousands of dollars I am curious as to true value to cost improvement. I personally have invested approx $4000 this year alone I've have seen improvement but maybe not $4k worth.

[@Youthman]

As with most things in life, there will always be a law of diminishing returns when it comes to upgrades. Only you can decide if your setup meets your needs and if there are upgrades you want to make that you feel would be worth it.

[@murphyhether8702]

I’d like to see more of the equipment and install before the discussion as it’d give a better frame of reference when you are talking with the theater owner. I’ve noticed this on several of the tour videos. Just fyi.

[@Youthman]

Thanks for the feedback. That is the plan for the Florida Home Theater Tour

[@lildadh5308]

Good video youthman , Martin Logans are in no means harsh , it's the pro amplifiers his using, pro amps are always harsh sounding.

[@Youthman]

Amps shouldn’t color the sound. If they do (unless they are tube amps), they aren’t doing their job.

[@lildadh5308]

Yes true he mentioned that the Martin Logans are can be harsh, I had Martin Logan speakers before never harsh , gave them to my brother he uses crown apma which are okay but are a little bright and harsh

[@Youthman]

The acoustics in your room will play a bigger difference in how they sound than the amps you pair them with

[@lildadh5308]

@@Youthman true 👍 thanks for the good content and God bless

[@holgerschever6321]

Hi Ryan, i see these arrangements with 2 subs more or less symmetrically in the front very often in home cinemas in North America (coming from Germany)... How do you ensure the bass seat to seat consistency by that instead of a kind of diagonal setup? Cheers, Holger

[@Youthman]

The best option is to get a miniDSP 2x4HD and a UMIK-1 or UMIK-2 so that you can time align your subwoofers and EQ them

[@holgerschever6321]

@@Youthman Thanks for the quick answer! Honestly, i know... The question is a different one... How do you guys avoid to limit a great bass only to the sweet spot of the main seat, if you place two subs symmetrically to the front of the room? How do you get even base on lets say 3 to 4 seats?

[@Youthman]

Every room is different and will measure differently. I’m not a subwoofer expert. I just always recommend trying different positions in your room to see what works best. Sometimes the best location isn’t an option so sacrifices have to be made

[@jvonengeln]

subs at different distances from the MLP, but calibrated with time delays correctly help eliminate room nulls and modes. His bass frequency response is better for the disparity.

[@Saturn2888]

I didn't know home theater crawls were a thing. I live in KC and would absolutely love to see other people's setups. I have two home theaters in my house, so having more ideas would be super nice! How do I meet up with these folks?

[@Youthman]

The KC guys have one of the most active threads in AVS forum. Search for Kansas City Events

[@Saturn2888]

@@Youthman Thanks! I found it :D. Seems like I missed last week's projector shootout 😞, but I'm super excited to start joining these future events! I'm very happy you made these KC home theater videos. I thought it was impossible to find others with similar interests in the area. No one else in my family or friends cares about home theater like me, so to see a whole group of folks in KC into the same thing and inviting people over to check them out, that opens a whole new world! I wish I knew about this all sooner, but I'm extremely thankful you spent the time flying out here to do all these videos!

[@Youthman]

Glad you’re getting connected with them. They have an incredible community. Honestly I’m quite jealous we do not have anything like that here in Florida. But hopefully I can change that

[@jvonengeln]

Where you at Saturn - we’ve had a half dozen events since this video. Haven’t seen you around yet. A new one for August was just announced in the KC AVSForum thread. Come join in the fun.
