Thicker is always better! 🤪 What a great guide! I wish i would have had this a few years ago when I started my journey. The lighting ambience is great!

[@barrystephens900]

Matt I understand you’re in the Atlanta area. I live in Alabama but I work for Coweta County Fire Dept, Newnan GA, area. Although I’ve been some what of a stereo/home theatre/car audio guy for many years I’ve never had anything I’d consider high end equipment. I’m currently planning on building a home theatre in the future, actually about to order new LCR speakers. I’d love to talk with you sometime, I can see this is going to be a long journey as well as a major learning curve.

[@TorinTPG]

Barry Stephens what’s going on? We have a nice community on discord (linked in video description) and I’m sure we could help you out. Hop on in and introduce yourself!

[@sparklestudios2083]

I am new audiophile...I had to junk my home theater when I moved out to my new home. I am looking at a 2 channel system with floor standing speakers..Klipsch Reference series. I have 4 TB Harddrive full of SACD,esoteric,FLAC,mp3 and mp4,mkv files that I want to stream...I want the option to go full home theater mode..later. Please advise on the best possible path for upgrade.

[@davidpaul1767]

I have been watching a lot of people talking about home theatres, but the major thing they lack is giving information about the good and the bad for people starting out. These videos are amazing and are extremely helpful!!!

[@kennethriley1638]

“Get your partner involved”-Best advice in the whole video! 🤣

[@BuildMontage]

LOL all my advice comes from my own experiences. Seems to be a common one though 🤣

[@waterzipper]

For setting a budget what I found worked for me was building the set over time. Buy with an upgrade plan. Obviously I started that with the projector screen and a two channel speaker system but my receiver has 11.2 channels and is dtsx and Atmos capable. I bought bean bags for the chairs. I have sent upgraded the bean bags to a couch but the bean bags are perfect for putting the kids on the floor so nothing lost something gained. I have sent added a 120-in screen, a center channel to rears and one sub. My next upgrade will be Atmos speakers which will complete my set up. Everything from there on will be cosmetic.

[@BuildMontage]

This is certainly how most of us do it. Have a plan to upgrade over time.

[@TerminatorJuice]

For your room you definitely made the right choice with the 16x9 screen! Because the screen width wouldn't change, all you would really get with a 2.35:1 screen is no black bars with CinemaScope at the cost of a significantly smaller image with 16x9 content...

[@BuildMontage]

I think if anything I'll change to a darker gain screen as my room is light controlled, you generaly dont even see black bars now, and I have a fairly high gain screen, so a darker grey and ill bump up the brightness on the projector it should look even better. I am not sold 100% on 16:9 over 2.35:1 as I think both have their place, but in my small theater, it makes sense to try for the biggest possible size!

[@TerminatorJuice]

@@BuildMontage What is the gain of your screen now? I have a 1.0 gain Matte White screen from DaLite, in a completely light controlled room, and the black bars blend perfectly into night time scenes and shots that take place in outer space! I agree that 2.35.1 has it's place... but only if you can have a wide enough screen that maintains the height of the 16x9 screen that you would have choosen... that way movies like Avatar and Joker would be the same size on the CinemaScope as they would a 16x9. Also, a CinemaScope screen requires a projector that has lens memory, which is far more expensive than a good 1080p projector... Something you might want to point out to people when talking about possibly getting a 2.35:1 screen. That and the fact that a decent amount of movies have alternating aspect ratios which completely ruins the CinemaScope viewing experience!

[@BuildMontage]

Yes I have the similar, 1.1 gain matte white - Elegance Screen Symphony. And yes with light controlled rooms, plus so many directors switch up their aspect ratios during the same film which i personally find confusing, it would be disappointing to watch a movie like that on a cinema scope. I'm fortunate my projector has lens memory, but as you say many do not!

[@bottomup12]

Make sure to include a smurf tube or conduit for the hdmi cable from rack to the projector or TV. That way you can install a future cable spec like hdmi 2.1.

[@BuildMontage]

One thing I didn’t do, but I’ve changed it once already - nice straight run through fortunately from my office to the theater :) great advice though.

[@TruthFLA]

I really felt you in regards to the kids. After a while, we fall down the list on their priorities. Such is life

[@Finn-McCool]

I built my 5.1 theater in March of 2008 when my middle child moved out after high school. Panasonic Plasma, Bose speakers, JBL sub, Sony DE 845 receiver, PS3 for Blu-ray. I started upgrading it in April of 2008. By going to thrift stores and keeping my eyes open I found two sets of Polk Audio RT55 with matching Polk Audio CS400 center channels for a total of $20 per speaker on average. which I thought of as a deal compared to the five Bose I had purchased. A large spool of FUREZ 12AWG in wall rated, oxygen free, twisted pair cable. ($40) Quite the odd find at a goodwill! You never know. Also found a pair of Boston CR9 loudspeakers ($20) that I use over in the "old school corner" along with a single Polk Audio PSW350 ($25) sub where I play vinyl records, cassette tapes, CDs and radio through a Sony DG510 ($20) receiver and a Schiit Mani phono preamp ($99) and a Fluance RT81 ($249) that came with with some quite nice powered Bluetooth speakers that we use up in the master bedroom. By this year I had purchased three additional JBL PB10 subs ($70-$100ea.) to match the existing single one because it turned out to be very good in my room. Four Polk Audio M5 $(40 ea.) ...(not The M5jr )... for the front and rear heights. They needed work I must say. Their spider has a tendency to separate from the basket, and by tendency I mean IT ALWAYS HAPPENS 😆 however for the money I love the form factor and the sound they produce. I purchased a Samsung 4K TV. And finally a Sony STR ZA5000ES flagship processor. Looking forward to a good UHD player.... Either the Panasonic you mentioned or the Sony 1100ES. Or I may mortgage my house and get an Oppo 205 😏. I'm looking for a two channel amp in order to end up with 7.4.4 adding ear level rear surround. The Sony MR2ES is most likely the choice there along with, most likely, another pair of RT55, I love those "big little" bookshelf speakers lol. That would be 21 identical matched drivers (14 mids,7 tweets) for the ear level speakers and 8 (4 mids,4 tweets) for the heights. Future also involves a Sony HAP-Z1ES slaved to the processor. I mostly play video games while listening to records and 'suffer through' 1080p movies with the wife and grand kids while saving my pennies for a 4K player. "Suffer through"....I know....pixel snob HAHA. Time will tell which one I choose. I was hoping that the PS5 would play SACD and/or 4K Blu-ray. Thanks for the video. -✌🏼

[@BuildMontage]

Thanks for the detailed message :) This hobby seems to be one big never ending upgrade :)

[@Finn-McCool]

Thanks mate, super pumped I’m getting a lot of Aussies joining the channel finally, my whole audience has been USA and India so far which is amazing but great to see some more local traffic! I’ll have to check those out, I’ll confess I’ve not heard of Krix before but you say locally built. That sounds interesting... thanks for info!

[@76fazza]

@@BuildMontage definitely check them out. Krix made their name in Australian commercial cinema and now have a solid track record in home cinema. My plan is to go Symmetrix in LCR, Ecliptix for surrounds and Hemispherix A20 for Atmos. With your budget, if you decided to go with Krix, I'd go with Epix for LCR. Undecided on subs, probably DIY.

I have a 3 season room ( basically an enclosed porch) that's an add on to the back of the house. I was thinking about turning that into a home theater room. I do have neighbors on both sides on me and across the road. Should I do sound proof insulation behind the walls or just do some acoustic treatment on the walls? I don't want to bother any neighbor if the sound is to loud

[@BuildMontage]

There is sound containment (inside the walls/walls themselves) and sound treatment (acoustic absorption panels and diffusor panels) - both are important, but personally im more concerned with treatment than containment.

Great guide I currently have a standard Ceiling mount prijector and 115inchn screen and looking at going to ultra short throw. Is there a guide for unit placement vs screen size or do each manufacturer have their own setup.

[@mikemmikem2758]

One of the cheapest ways to acoustically treat your walls is using heavy curtains. If you look at any good theater you will find that curtains always cover the foam panels. With respect to Atmos speaker placement SVSound.com has a much different philosophy for surround sound placement with their Elevation speakers. I'm now in the process of redoing my HT and I'll be using a bookshelf arrangement for front and center, Elevation surround speakers (4), and 2 PB1000 subs, I already own. I do agree with you that you are definitely too close to the screen. Is that a JVC projector. I actually thought of a projector but since many TV brands are huge these days I decided against a projector. Your tips are well done and should be helpful to any novice embarking on building a HT room.

[@BuildMontage]

mikem mikem agreed. Curtains would be great, I have to add some over my shutters but I have in walls so I can’t cover them which is annoying. I’ve looked at the svs elevations. Very good reviews but I haven’t heard them personally. Klipsch do something similar but I like the stealthily look of the in walls too. Thanks for commenting :)

I've a friend who has in-walls. His fix was very dark sheer curtains that worked very well for him. However, his speakers were all black, as opposed to the Klipsch.

I see an issue straight away with recommendations of 7.2.4 setup. I live in UK and the links are not supported for the UK for 7.2.4 setup. Therefore, what to recommend if you cannot get the 7.2.4? It's all very well stating about recommendations and going by making errors but at the same time it seems I can't get that recommendation hence, it be a big no, no for me. It seems great if you live in America or Australia but for UK market it's totally weird that you cannot get that system setup.

[@BuildMontage]

Richersounds do not have this setup either. I saw a price of £3,000 but not 7.2.4 hence, to me, it doesn't seem possible, or am I missing something?

[@BuildMontage]

7.2.4 is just a configuration. You can get any speakers you like as long as the receiver can process/power 11.2 channels. Do you mean the Amazon links I have in the video? Those are there for people to check out but doesn’t mean you can’t get 7.2.4 in the UK, you most certainly can, it’s just a speaker configuration.

Is it possible to send Dolby ATMOS signal to a receiver using Bluetooth connectivity or only through HDMI cable?

[@BuildMontage]

That's a great question, off the top of my head, I'd say no - my experience is BT is quite limiting due to the bandwidth restrictions - BUT - if you can be more specific, I can try and find out for you!

[@placenti]

The BestBuy technician went to my friend’s place to set up his new LG Nanocell 90 series tv with a YAMAHA receiver. Both support Dolby ATMOS sound and he’s using a Klipsch ATMOS speakers. The technician connected the tv audio out to the receiver through Bluetooth and my friends believes he’s steaming the videos, recorded in Dolby ATMOS sound through his speakers. By my knowledge Bluetooth doesn’t support any kind of Dolby Sound or DTS if is not through HDMI cable.

[@placenti]

Can you confirm or add something about this matter? I need to show my friend that the technician was wrong on his choice of passing the Dolby ATMOS signal through Bluetooth connection.

Great video. I do have a comment. You kept saying cropped when speaking are screen aspect ratios. That is wrong. The image is not cropped in any format.

Plus studios are just now diving into their catalog and creating 4k transfers of older movies. IMO, but awesome video. For sure a dream room like yours I’d love to have one day!

Thanks Alex - I remember this debate back when 1080p was becoming a standard, and then again when 4K - so I can only imagine it's going to happen regardless. You have mirrorless cameras like the Canon R5 shooting 8K raw in body now - so I think its a sure thing. Needed? Maybe not, but I think it will happen none-the-less :)

[@alexscott4086]

Build Montage thanks for the response. Super awesome of you go do. And deff see you’re point there. Should be interest to see what happens. Like I said though, hope to you a set up like yours one day and will for sure use this video as a reference. Learned a lot of new things. Thanks!!

You skipped over more important first steps. Sound "proofing" the room (or technically "sound containment"...so you could watch at the volumes you want an not wake the baby in the next room. Then there's the in-room "acoustic treatments" (some guys DO make an effort...I'd say 20-25% of home owners...rest ignore it). Making sure there are no "hard surfaces" (e.g. glass from windows or sliding doors, hard surface floors, exposed drywall) THEN---worry about the electronics/seating. Most just focus on the electronics and seating. They don't have a good plan of action.

So your total cost was over $30000

[@BuildMontage]

Ive lost count actually. Since this video I ended up redoing my theater again >.

I wonder how many people buy Klipsch because of the name without actually listening to them.

[@BuildMontage]

Can you elaborate on why you came to this conclusion?

[@richardsmith1161]

Build Montage Klipsch are very popular speakers that are associated with quality, but they have a very distinct sound that is not for everyone. I think a lot of people buy them on name without listening to them or knowing what sound they like. I’m not knocking them because it’s very hard to go out and listen to speakers before you buy them.

[@BuildMontage]

@@richardsmith1161 I agree with you, you have to like the way horn sounds. I had the opportunity on many occasions to listen to Klipsch speakers before I bought mine. I listened to a wide variety of speakers and ultimately settled on them. Klipsch is a very polarizing brand, people seem to either love them or hate them, no middle ground. I also like KEF and Monitor Audio, and both of those were contenders as well. I certainly didn't just buy because of Klipsch. Truth be told, I ask most people here in Australia, they haven't even heard of Klipsch outside of anyone thats into this hobby :) May I ask which speakers you are partial to and why?

[@richardsmith1161]

@@BuildMontage I went with ELAC Unifis like a little more warm of a sound and a wide soundstage. For surrounds I went with Fluance signature bipoles and Polk cellings. I don't want you to get the impression that I'm knocking your choices, I bet it looks and sounds great. I guess it's different where you are, but in the US when you walk into a certain Brick and Mortar store you are bombarded with Klipsch.

[@BuildMontage]

Sound like an interesting combination of speakers. I was sitting in my theater last night watching Snowpiercer which has Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and it sounded absolutely phenominal. It's a 7.2.4 setup. I know Klipsch has been accused of being harsh, but I honestly couldn't be happier with them. I do have two monitor audio in walls for my side surrounds due to cavity depth and Im considering monitor audio as well for my upstairs lounge room. I appreciate you commenting. I generally like to ask someone why they comment the way they do if it's contrary or I don't understand it so I can learn and grow from those who know more than I. :)

[@pooter4e552]

Forgot the 1st step going through the wife. 😀

[@BuildMontage]

pooter4e it’s nice and warm under the thumb :)

[@djduke316]

5:05 That's what she said

[@BuildMontage]

haha yep - that went over most people's heads :)

[@josephlemons]

There’s no point in 8K anything lol, your eyes can’t even tell the difference between 8K & 4K

[@BuildMontage]

Not sure I agree here. People said the same thing about 1080p.

[@ahmadeied5594]

Your audio is horrible

[@BuildMontage]

For this video, it was very early on in my KZbin career - I've upped my game since then :)
