Tell Reggie I said 'sup. He'll know what it means.

​@@therealshaneleeReggie is either you going through a divorce & having to build a new theater OR a ploy to get more comments on your video from those that don't watch till the end.. I hope it's the latter.

[@squared80]

@@nobaccos I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic. Sony's barely even worth considering these days when it comes to receivers/processors. The frontrunners in the industry left them in the dust years ago.

[@jmethane4810]

Why did you go with the Purifi instead of their NCOREx? I have an A1H and was about to pull the trigger an a buckeye Hypex NCOREx 3 channel but saw the purifi amp and got confused which one to get.

[@squared80]

@@jmethane4810 Honestly, you won't notice a difference. I had an opportunity to buy the Purifi for the same price as the Hypex, so I went with that. You'd be just fine with the NCORE. Reach out to Dylan at Buckeye, he's very responsive and honest about what he thinks you should get based on your setup. He'll probably tell you to get the cheaper one.

I've Been Trying To Figure Out What And Which "POWER 🔋 AMPLIFIER/MONOLITH " To Go With My AVRX6700H Receiver, And I Guess You Just Answered That Shane!

[@peerguy]

Excellent review. Thanks Shane. $6500 is a lot of money and I wouldn’t buy it to connect external amps. A pre-pro setup would be better at that cost

[@GameSack]

Great camera work in this vid! Awesome new setup. I've never had a auto-calibration give me adequate bass. So I've always just redone the levels and EQ (then levels again after EQ) the way I did at real theaters which is probably not ideal for home stuff but I like it. My main issue is that the EQs at home are usually much more limited, usually something like 10 bands compared to the 31 it should be.

[@therealshanelee]

Yeah I've never had auto eq get bass right either. You always got to go back and tweak.

[@Laissez_Faire]

I always lower all my subs level by 8db on their internal amp before I run calibration. Then I bring it back up when I’m done.

[@Cj19791979]

All I can say is Damn !

[@ChadAV69]

God that is so sexy. I'm happy for you, man. Right now I live in an apartment and it's noisy with neighbors and a busy road right outside. Single pane windows and a door that lets noise through.

[@Keith-p5j]

Thanks for showing denon some love I'll have one in my endgame it can do 9.4.8 speaker configuration and has next gen gaming features,dtsx pro plus Dirac upgradable and much more it's the best in my humble opinion sorry anthem and audio control nad ect. Last but not least internal amplification if you want to run a ton of small speakers without using seperates but I'll be putting it in pre amp mode and using external amplification

[@CaseTheCorvetteMan]

The A1H would be my ultimate receiver i reckon, i have the 6700H in preamp mode with two Tonewinner AD-7300PA+ amps running my 7.1.6 setup, i do have a speaker installed for VoG but i need to find a solution to allow me to hook that up for a preset two layout.

[@therealshanelee]

[@CaseTheCorvetteMan]

@@therealshanelee in Australia it is over ten grand for one of those, and i may almost have a minor issue fitting it into the spot occupied by the 6700!! With my old ears i'm not so sure it's going to be worth another $10,000+ ;)

[@deltacaptainsteele]

@therealshanelee love the new theater! Your channel actually inspired me to really get in to home theater, and I recently finished building out mine. Given the amount of money you basically made me spend (B&Ws all around, Denon A1H, Valencia seating, etc), I think you have to do mine in a future home theater hangout hahaha

Near OLED quality on a screen thats not huge? Why not save nearly $20K (projo + screen) and just get an 80”-class OLED? Or maybe swap it out for an 85” Bravia 9? That could get you a matching big sub and proper acoustic treatment.

[@tuemose22]

hi im thinkin of in the future, to upgrade my avr.. and ive mostly looked at everything else than denon! because ive had a denon avr before, and really thougth it was crap.. it was weak sounding, and didt not make any good feeling in my body... but its like 13years ago now... would you really say, that denon is up on their game?? i seen more and more use them, over marantz or onkyo.. but in my mind, its still hard to forget the exsperience with the denon.. greatings michael

Surprised you don’t have a VOG speaker.

[@chrismoore2461]

Hi Shane. I have the X8500HA and would like to know how it compares to the A1H you just reviewed. I chose this receiver for its tech and all the legacy connections vs the A1H having only HDMI connections. I have every speaker possible connected. 7.1.6 for Dolby, Dts, Imax and Auro 3D. The Auro, I use center front and center height vs two front height, two ceiling height and two rear height for the other decoding. All my speakers are B&Ws and the sub is a JL audio F212. I love this setup that has took me years to put together. I enjoy watching you videos and keep up the good work!

[@therealshanelee]

Stick with the 8500 unless you want Dirac or need 8k support.

You kind of compared eversolo vs Hifi rose. Some audiophiles have hinted that eversolo won’t work in the future without much explanation except firmware eventually cannot be updated? Whereas Hifi rose will have no trouble? Please comment if you heard anything. Thanks

When you say dirac, are you referring to dirac bass management?

How did the REL 1205's and the Rythmik's pair and integrate together? I actually have 2 of those REL's as well and have been looking for something that goes deeper without having to completely ditch the REL's. I was also look at the Rythmiks, maybe the E15 ones.

[@therealshanelee]

With a little DSP they sound great.

[@wtfnight]

@@therealshanelee That's great to hear, it'd be great to be able to continue to add to the home theatre rather than just sell and replace gear. I like being able to keep what I have when I can.

Awaiting you comparing it with stormaudio new receiver

[@leecaldwell1029]

The r7t towers you have are rated to 400 watts the amplifiers you have only push 200 watts. Do they need more power or are they plenty with only the 200 watts? I ask because I am buying amps for my theater and I am so confused by how much power I actually need

[@Darthbishop]

Wait a min, you didn’t show your projector screen. Why not? You just showed your flat screen display?

Dirac vs Audyssey ?, is it worth?, i bought this one on release, and the other day i remembered that Dirac was not an option on release, but now that it is, do you think its wrth the extra tediusness and extra mic , against Audyssey?

[@MrHumes-nv1zr]

Bought 2 monolith m215s will this have enough voltage to push them properly? My onkyo rz3100 doesn't cut it and i cant get them to cause me concern for my house as they should.

[@nealphelps5260]

Awesome setup!! Looks like you haven't put up your projector screen yet and you were using a tv for now? Also what happened to your trinmov and kscape? Also with your low ceilings you might get a nice upgrade by going with 6 ceiling speakers/channels.

Did you buy a house? My Nakamichi Dragon can't compete with your home theater 😢 . But I do have the Zidoo Z2000 Pro with and 180 Terabytes NAS. No need for Kscape 😮 I can challenge your JVC projector with my AWOL 3000 pro especially when it comes to 3D. The Denon receiver is next level. I can't go on..Have a good night

[@KASmonkeys]

The main reason I chose the A1H was because of extra speaker switching from ATMOS to DTSX Pro (centre height etc) - Great video thanks for sharing

[@therealshanelee]

🍻

[@SpeakerFreak73]

So is all this your equipment then, just not your theater? What do you think of the R7ts vs the R5ts? You rate the Perlisten subs really well, but you don't have those in the theater? That size of theater is similar to the size my theater will be with 3 rows, etc. How do you feel the size & length vs sound is? And last, isn't using a receiver vs a processor, and "Monolith" brand amps is a little on the lower end of Hi-Fi? How does that set-up compare so higher end? Thanks Shane!

Dirac is a web-based calibration tool that’s built into compatible receiver/processors and has different levels of capabilities depending on the version. The version with bass control is currently the 2nd highest tier.

@@ThaVillaMan Thank you, but why the charge? I mean, if I've already spent a fortune on the hardware, why is there an additional charge? Seems weird to me.
