How to Set Up a Hifi System: Michi Amplifiers Focal Speakers and Clarus Premium Cabling

[@sebastianvanderwolf6500]

Why are the amps in front of the speakers? Also that laptop is a weak link in that system, maybe consider a high end streamer rather

[@yrrek1983]

More a show case of gear than sound I think, judging by the wall of glass in the background.

[@sebastianvanderwolf6500]

@@yrrek1983 yeah

[@rccardbreaks2864]

WOW, must be soooooo much fun being you guys, and playing with all of this amazing gear. I'm jealous. Maybe one day if I win the lotto lol.

[@electricgypsyblues4761]

This is like the tenth video I've seen where y'all got everything set up but no actual demo. No sounds, no music! What are you trying to hide. If you want People to spend money, they want to hear at least something

[@Divinedanish]

If they play music the video will get a copyright strike. Also what good is them showing off this incredible sound system if its going to be compressed and played in 1080P at best through KZbin on someones iPhone

[@yrrek1983]

You can't gauge a system through another system or headphones, If you listen to a recording of a 15" played back through a 4" it will sound like a 4", "Sound demos" are a wast of time. I do think that the system probably wouldn't sound it's best in that room tho considering the entire front wall is glass.

[@NJClerk]

Everything's high premium( I noticed the lack of $$$ talk..) and then as a source: a laptop(..). Even a piece of Schitt dac(99$)would make big difference! Hopefully y'all gonna upgrade soon..

[@t.j.bennett6454]

I believe they're using the dac in the preamp. But yes a computer as a source is just complete shit even if not using its dac

[@hindsite275]

Looking at the specs of the Michi P5 it includes its own DAC.

[@BijBijTCG]

Source a laptop. In a DAC from the rotel itseld. 32/384. So how is it bad xD

[@jimihendrix1575]

"Servicing me", oh my Zak! This is all moving so fast!

[@gavineisen3597]

I just know bought the harmony pro 2400 from y’all can’t wait till it comes in

[@jccohen9923]

$1,000 8 gauge power cable and yet it still has to be connected to an outlet that uses standard romex 12 guage through out the house and from the electric box. Just food for thought.

[@Poraqui]

When I got into this hobby it reeked of snake oil. So, I dove into science articles published by the Audio engineering society and... "elas" my suspicion was correct. Particularly revealing regarding several aspects of audio reproduction are the results of Blind\double blind and ABX tests. Such things as cables, high resolution formats, expensive gear Vs very, very entry level ones, analog Vs digital sources are all dimistifyed. What I take of this to my own life? I save a lot of money to do a lot of other pleasurable things while not compromising one bit (hehe) the quality of my music listening hobby, but at a very, very small fraction of this predatory prices. But, hey... If someone believes this stuff and can and are willing to spend this kind of money it's their right. Whatever makes someone happy is what counts..

[@ImDembe]

Hehe yeah, after a certain amount of money you get very little gains if any really. Boys will be boys and we can't live without new gadgets no matter what price bracket we are in.

[@performingspecs7841]

Beautiful home! I am betting that the Michi equipment is out of my price range but it looks to be hi end quality.

[@OrbofShingeki]

Just The amps are $8000 a piece 😂 so dumb. You could build a system for $2000 that sounds fantastic

[@aussie8114]

Michi amps are actually good value for what they are. The cables on the other hand may be very questionable.

[@kennygsmooth83]

Beautiful system. Thanks for sharing.

[@andrzejtraczewski5764]

Ok, so now it's time for kanta's and sopra's comparison :)

[@junior-OG]

:)

[@nelsonclub7722]

Seems no-one seems to care whats on either side of the ends of the power cable....?????? Electricity was fine until it reached the wall socket then somehow it wasn't

[@aussie8114]

Those cables look EXPENSIVE 💰

[@GOLFADDICT65]

great video....wish you guys were in Canada,....lol....cheers

[@Disciple_Jon]

This video came across as a boring sales pitch. Assume that we know the basics... now explain what makes that equipment special and why I should care

[@Chunga1273]

you´r right. Focused on the tec. not on sound. They are too "happy" and fast. dont know whats going on there.

[@nighthawk4559]

this is next level stuff !! awesome gift idea for me !!

[@cubinn149]

Nice setup

[@OrbofShingeki]

quite an echo in the house for a hifi system

[@AudioElectronicsChicago]

The "S-Class AMG" of the cables

[@cubinn149]

I smashed the subscribe button a long time ago

[@randymullins5525]

I'll offer ya 5 bucks for it......haha...seriously slick set up

[@AlexReusch]

All perfect, but the Macbook as your streamer? Don't do that, just don't. There are plenty of great audiophile options to feed your preamp. Honestly, you put so much effort in getting proper power for your setup... and then you are using a standard computer (very noisy) with the cheapest power supply (super noisy) in the chain.

[@t.j.bennett6454]

Still can't believe you guys use a laptop instead of a dedicated streamer. Or at least a cd player

[@300bo8]

$50k setup. Not bad :)

[@adamnikodem90]

why d f would u need 8g wire running from regular outlet to it . . . . stupidity has no limits

[@waynejames2638]

If i went into a HI-FI shop if i can't set it up my self wouldn't buy it.

[@crissnickers_frog6689]

i understand this is a standard setup,......put it down? why.......bussines?cost.....but rackmount @some level

[@gabemartinez1012]

you guys need better studio lighting

[@chedava]

Speakers in front of a glass wall. Seriously?

[@RyanZNO]

The cables cost as much or more than the gear, what a joke 😂

[@christianjmoss]

Sorry dude I'm noping out at "smash"

[@trainman28882]

Agreed...If I hear one more youtuber say "smash" that like button, I may scream.

[@keepingupwiththejones2933]

Please STFU you pompous douchebag

[@ericshutter5305]

powercables .... go check you wall cables and realize that the last few feet of cable will not do anything ... its science, not magic. PS cables are NEVER directional ... not magic (again)... PS2 M8 is overkill for these speakers. S5 is better suited for these.
