You're neighbors are going to love you!

My neighbors already love me. 🤣 I’m actually very respectful of them and have a great relationship with all of my neighbors.

Thanks Joe

[@visiblehiggs130]

Beautiful, like when stacked up like that.

[@Youthman]

I agree! I think they look sexy!

[@coreymarotta]

Been considering implementing OSD into my new system’s architecture, particularly their steaming products. Thanks for this!

[@Youthman]

Their app isn’t the caliber of SONOS but it’s also a fraction of the cost too.

[@eddyman007]

Love your videos and am currently renovating my basement for a theater. Can’t wait until it’s complete. Keep up the good work

[@Youthman]

Awesome Ed. That’s exciting! Thank you for the kind words

[@jasonsullivan8001]

That’s a cool setup. When ever I get around to my backyard I will definitely do something like this.

[@TheIntellectualPeoplePodcast]

Can you please get OSD to send Erin at Erin's Audio Corner some In-wall/on wall speakers to test on his Klippel NFS? That would be ideal!

[@Youthman]

I can get him in contact with OSD if he is interested in measuring their inwall speakers.

[@kman7222]

that is going to be a very kick-ass backyard system. next step - BBQ upgrade.

All those stacked components look very 😎

I know! Looks sweet in my cabinet now

Waited from long time for this update

Me too. Just trying to juggle many projects at one time. This video took 3 days to shoot & edit.

Glad you are enjoying the content.

You ever test the power output of these amp? I have trouble believing that little thin amp can push 250 x2 at 8 ohms. Hows that even possible?

[@ktraughb]

Are you able to use 2 of the media streamer servers in the same system to create 8 zones?

[@DF-et4gs]

Man, OSD is all over the place lately

[@Youthman]

Yes they are like Monolith was challenging the higher end products with affordable home theater and outdoor solutions.

[@rbiamby]

Great video once again.👍👍

[@Youthman]

Thank you Rodney

Thats nasty Youthman!!!! Pure nastiness!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s going to be good

[@poketobyb]

How do the subwoofers sound?

[@Youthman]

They are definitely nice. Nothing super high end, but the mains and rock speakers definitely benefit from these subs to fill in the lower frequencies.

[@miltonwillingham]

Looks really nice! That system would be awesome around a pool. Youthman makes it look so easy don't he! lol Had to pick on you Youthman 🙂

[@Mrtscrp30]

Very nice informative video.

[@Youthman]

Thanks

[@victorpulos823]

You show you be hooking your theater to one of those

[@Youthman]

Correct. The SRT4 is a media streamer. I will be connecting Zone 4 from it into one of my Marantz AV7705 inputs to stream music into the theater room. The AV7705 has built in Airplay2 but this would allow me to stream music inside and outside the house at the same time and control each zone from the app

[@victorpulos823]

@@Youthman will you also be doing a review of osd black power amp for home theater or no?

[@Youthman]

I don’t have an OSD home theater amp in for review

[@jamesrobinson1579]

LOL I have to reiterate that driving 8 speakers from 2 channels of a 4 channel amp, and 4 speakers to a bridged 8 channel amp is counterintuitive and unnecessarily complex.

[@Youthman]

Just curious, what OSD amps would you have used to power (8) speakers, (4) Rock speakers and (2) subwoofers?

[@Youthman]

Speaking with OSD, the XMP500DSP is a 2ch amplifier, even though h It has A/B or A+B switching.

[@jamesrobinson1579]

@@Youthman Oh I am not familiar with the product line or the company at all... I just feel like that seems excessively complex. I am not saying it is incorrect but it does appear that a big stereo amplifier for 2 subs and an 8 or 4 channel for the 8 speakers would have been simpler... and easier to troubleshoot and fix if a speaker wire is ever compromised. (definitely possible outdoors)

[@Youthman]

As with any system, there are multiple ways to design and configure it to achieve the same goal. OSD designed the system and I figure since they know their products and do this every day (and I have never designed a multi-speaker, multi-zone outdoor system), I would rely on their expertise.

[@Youthman]

Looking at their products, the XMP500DSP is their largest stereo amplifier (even though it might appear as a 4ch amp (that’s what I assumed as well until I asked them about it when I was shooting the video). Likewise they do not sell a 4ch amplifier so using their highest powered 8ch amplifier and bridging each pair makes sense to me.
