Tour of My EPIC Home Theater | A Living Room on Steroids! | JTR | Marantz

[@MATTBOMERRACING]

With how much is going on in that room I think it’s time to black out the walls ceilings and trim!

[@pbrstgng72]

Agreed. The focus is on the sound baffles and not the TV. Makes the TV look smaller. And that color is not pleasing.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I’m not doing that.

[@whosAltoon]

this is the setup for someone who watches tv with a helmet

[@zustroy]

I get your point, but still... they look so ugly that I would sacrifice some of the sound quality for something pleasant to look at. I can't judge the quality and personal preference but I don't expect there isn't anything else that sounds similar and even better at the similar price range but much more pleasant to look at.

[@AudiofoolDeo]

Exactly what I have in mind. I bet those JTRs sound awesome. Though IMHO, those speakers should be behind a wall or projector screen.

[@ratspeedgarage]

I still like the comment about it looking like a 14 year olds wet dream 😂

[@xpravadox]

Looks like a showroom floor

[@stephenphillips1660]

The speakers aren't any uglier than all the black panels hanging on the walls.

[@paulupton7698]

All this to watch tv!

[@ts6141]

I think it is a nice system but man they sure are BIG and in your FACE. I am not sure it is something I'd want.

[@harley1793]

Then don’t buy it…

[@iluvmyeski]

@@harley1793 we are watching a video on youtube and we have the ability to comment and say what we like. He wont buy it. but he can make his comment you waste

[@Schwabz33]

Also, I would definitely downgrade the lighting. I would do more theater style lighting with small projector style lights that are automated in conjunction with the theater so when you start a movie, the lights dim down automatically and you have a blackout ceiling.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think that type of stuff adds no value to the room.

[@humzatariq1140]

Matt just a heads up.. Apple TV does not support lossless audio on Apple music/Tidal etc. It's a limitation of the Apple TV hardware. It was the only reason I went with an Nvidia shield on my HT system, it supports 192KHz lossless as well as TrueHD for Atmos, Apple TV does not...

[@fatekchamma5236]

I genuinely can’t see how anything but a projector throwing at least 180” is going to suite that awesome sound setup. Get shopping bro, a new rabbit warren for you, you’ll love it

[@Youthman]

Rusty and I have been working on him. LOL

[@ObsessedGarage]

Soon

[@denisbrisebois7658]

Man I love watching this channel !!! Merry Christmas to everyone at Obsessed Garage !!! From an East Coast Canadian fan of everything “perfection”. A+++ 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@jameskiely5518]

I hate to lead you down the rabbit hole again but..... I just installed 4 300 watt dayton audio bass shakers to the frame of my couch and it was a game changer. Felt like my subwoofer was 4x larger. Those 4 subs could be replaced by the bass shakers no problem and would be invisible and far less expensive. Your setup is EPIC!!! well done!!

[@LeeLee-fi7mx]

Bass shakers are a good choice when near field subwoofers are not feasible, but they cannot replicate the overall sense of impact and pressurization, as well helping out overall with the bass frequency response as compared to nearfield subs. I just made the switch from 2 dayton bst-300ex transducers in my couch to nearfiled subwoofers, and it's a big upgrade.

[@G.Dean100]

Place looks really good but to spend that much on speakers only to have a LG C1 to look at? I heard what you said at the beginning but still. Also, you hit it on the head with those speakers looking like something DJ’s would use.

[@e4superfly]

it's a lg g2 not a c1 best picture in the business

[@G.Dean100]

@ where did you come up with it being a g2? It’s a c1 my friend. Also, even if it were a g2 that wouldn’t be close to “the best picture in the business”. Not saying it’s a bad one but definitely not the best.

[@emiller7040]

I think it's a C2. Hopefully my memory hasn't failed me. The 1st one was delivered with a cracked screen.

[@PapaTroll86]

I agree. I also feel like the screen is a bit small for a "home theater," dedicated or not. Especially for the viewing distance of the head-on section of the couch, which would be the ideal viewing angle. Then again, I like my screens comically large for any space, so maybe it's just me. At least the sound system is great and the TV is a proper height (and not mounted at the damn ceiling like so many people do these days for no good reason other than keeping their chiropractors in business.) Just seems odd to skimp on the screen when putting this much into the setup.

[@m.r.5719]

dude, play the system!! A whole week di*king with this and still no demonstration?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I explained that.

[@ze1enraa]

I have almost the exact same setup myself and love it Just curious - what made you choose the sealed subs over the ulf ported subs this time?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Just size…. I’m doing the ported subs at Middleton.

[@bbop8542]

Wish the center cabinet doors would open and slide back into the cabinet instead of leaving the doors open while using.

[@iluvmyeski]

Right... with how much he wants everything to "work properly" you think he wouldnt have something like that

[@kabrandt22]

I have a super budget friendly room yet sit 9’ away from a 115” screen. You could’ve cut some cost on cables and a few other things and would’ve broken even on a projector and screen. 👻. I think you just don’t like projectors.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I cannot accept watching a cheap projector. I’d rather have a high quality 83” direct view display.

[@loganmoore2652]

Any details on the remote your using?

[@ObsessedGarage]

AppleTV remote is all we need until I get Kalaidescape. Then, I’m not sure yet.

[@williambrooymans6208]

It has the sound system of a movie theater but the screen of a mediocre master bedroom. This room doesn't represent to a living room eather. Not Cosy or comfy at all. All those sound absorbing panels don't help.

[@Youthman]

The room without acoustic treatment would sound horrendous. Too many hard surfaces and reflections.

[@ObsessedGarage]

You guys are really great at spending my money.

[@iluvmyeski]

Tv looks tiny with that massive setup. Im sure it sounds amazing but it looks atrocious

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think it looks pretty sick.

[@vongdong10]

7 videos in and I'm still waiting for a sound demo

[@95lal]

you'll still be waiting then lol

[@iluvmyeski]

he wont do one because he says "it doesnt have the same quality through your headphones"

[@Youthman]

@@iluvmyeski the other reason is copyright issues. I run into the same thing on my channel. Besides, there isn't much value in listening to a 7.3.4 Dolby Atmos system, recorded on a mono microphone that will most often be played back on computer speakers, Airpods etc.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I’m telling you, that tells you nothing.

[@vongdong10]

@@ObsessedGarage just wanna hear the bass output

[@Gt3endodoc]

Those speakers are ugly AF. I dont care how good they sound. They look like Monoprice specials!

[@ObsessedGarage]

I’m telling you man, if I set you don’t and had you listen to them, you’d start thinking of ways to make it work. I had the exact same thought as you.

[@ma3nni689]

Wow... must be amazing. Nice to be able to upgrade and upgrade and spend these amounts of money. Grtz

[@ObsessedGarage]

It’s pretty great.

[@napir]

LOL. Just that, LOL.

[@ericwilliams1419]

Like you all, I purchased the AV 10 and the Dirac with multi-sub calibration. I want it professionally calibrated. Who did you all use for calibration? Oh, I reside in the ATL area. Thanks.

[@ObsessedGarage]

We did it ourselves, but next step will be finding someone.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Yeah, you need a 98" TV in that room. ( Or larger. )

[@ObsessedGarage]

Bigger would be better.

[@larryvelezbx]

How about just removing the doors on the cabinet and letting the center channel always show?

[@RR-dr6du]

Boy the face of that center channel speaker is about the same size as thst TV...

[@acelakid94]

If you go with a projector, would you consider Carbon Black from Screen Innovation? I haven't really seen anyone on KZbin use it yet.

[@billkratz8723]

Check out the amp 10 you can bridge the front and get 800 watts to LCR and still have 10 channels left to run the other channels

[@crgmrgn]

Agreed, given you've gone for the AV10 I'd complete the set and pair the AMP10, its a glorious combination and frankly simplifies/clarifies the config again.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I’ll be doing Buckeye amps.

[@billkratz8723]

@ 8 channel and then 3 channel for lcr

[@richardmesser1091]

Going to need more bass

[@e4superfly]

I could never do a projector after having an oled i think the next TV for me will be a 110inch hisense UX it has over 10000 dimmable zones and no blooming decent viewing angles I think its the closest one can get to oled with a decent price and size .

[@G.Dean100]

@@e4superfly Hisense 110” isn’t oled though?

[@ObsessedGarage]

I fear that Hisense is going to be pretty bad. We will see it at CES in a few weeks.

[@e4superfly]

@ObsessedGarage this is what people don't get once you go oled projectors are such a downgrade interms of contrast and and black levels they say a larger screen is more immersive but how am I supposed to be immersed when I'm sitting there for 2 hours thinking to myself this would look so much better on an oled🤣🤣🤣

[@kwelitysoul]

Looks insane. I love my OLED but I wonder what that 110” Hisense ULED would look like in there.

[@BKnight7z]

Would you ever consider casually hunting for a deal on a used low hour projector? Yeah it’s not brand new but if you save 10-15 grand off 30 it might make it seem more reasonable. Especially now that laser projectors have 10s of thousands of hours of bulb life vs hundreds of hours with lamp tech. It might make doing a nice screen and kaleidescape practically free.

[@JarvisCottage]

OG needs to develop an installable soundproofing. Think slatwall but for acoustics.

Not trying to rain on our parade but the market dropped 1k points. And interest rates are not dropping. Unless home building ticks up. I think winter is coming for the discretionary home theater market.

[@srincomptr]

The Fed is going to pull back on rate cuts. That's the primary reason the Dow fell. Yep, bad day for financial markets.

Why not split the rears with 4 sub outs?

We discussed adding a miniDSP 2x4HD for the rear channels but having them as "one" near field subwoofer made more sense.
