All I can say is what I said before. You have my favorite theater on KZbin!!! It’s absolutely beautiful and I love everything about it!!!! Well done Tony!!!

[@BuildMontage]

Chris, thank you! Your room is outstanding as well mate, love your new version and how you keep improving every week! Well done to you as well my friend.

[@myhometheater7029]

@@BuildMontage thank you Tony!!

[@AudioBoutique1]

This is hard to watch! To think that you are calling it quits on The Home Cinema. It’s like the last episode of Breaking Bad, Friends, or Neighbors.I just don’t want it to end. But wait just like the The Eagles Hell Freezes Over tour we know that there is always one more show, oh and did I here Neighbors is coming back? So end game is just another word for wait till the next upgrade. Congratulations mate, it’s been one hell of a ride and I am so proud of what you have achieved not just the HT but with your channel. Looking forward to celebrating 40k very soon and 100k soon after. Sky is the limit my friend.

[@BuildMontage]

Thank you my friend. Appreciate everything you have done for me over the last 3 years as well with advice and our friendship as well. The room is done for now... maybe some electronic upgrades but no more construction or speaker changes... Plenty to work on in other areas though, and lots of content - plus room tours to film and experience. 100K would be a dream, but i'll settle for 40K for now :)

[@Darkside_C7]

You can immediately tell that room just sounds incredible and look amazing too.

[@BuildMontage]

Thank you 🙏

[@leander744]

Wow 😮 what an amazing room , I have had the pleasure to hear and see Tony’s room in person and all i can say is wowwww 😮 !!! The sound stage is so big and precise .The picture of the NP5 is pure eye candy. Enjoy this amazing room my friend and keep up the great work ( 100k subscribers in no time).

[@BuildMontage]

Thanks may friend for all of your help and involvement in the room build and our crazy 5 hour conversations dreaming about upgrades 😂

[@Justeric78]

Now it's time for you both to come have 5 hour conversations in America

It’s Always a pleasure to see you Home Theater Tour. Absolutely stunning!!!

[@BuildMontage]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate it.

[@brendaeagles]

❤ this room , when you think it’s awesome you find a way to step it up even more

[@theaccent13]

Yay... great to see the final product... now to sit back and enjoy it!

[@BuildMontage]

Thanks for watching! That's the idea :)

[@MM-xj2lw]

Thanks for making these videos. It’s inspired me to build my own 180 inch screen home theatre with the Xgimi Horizon Pro. I’ll slowly upgrade as I go along.

[@SpecOfTech]

Truly and amazing home theater! I have to say it's one of the best, if not the best looking home theater on KZbin. It's stylish, clean looking and those RGB's...come on. I have to admit, the diamond pattern acoustic panels at the back do look really slick. Great video brother!

[@BuildMontage]

Thanks for watching brother :) Hope your well.

[@TerminatorJuice]

Finally!!! Been anticipating this video for a while Tony, and it didn't disappoint! Simply gorgeous! It feels strange when you finish a long project and suddenly you don't have anything to work on for your room, doesn't it? ; ) So now it's time to just sit back and watch as many movies as possible... And with that new JVC, it'll be like seeing most of them for the first time!

[@BuildMontage]

💯 right! But I have so many other projects so it’s not really a problem. I have upstairs and also heaps of new products to review - but most importantly can actually enjoy the room for what it is bow

[@TerminatorJuice]

@@BuildMontage Every time I 've finished one of my bigger home theater projects over the past 3 years, I usually follow that up with a 1 to 2 month break from doing any other kinds of projects around the house, and there's always a period in the beginning where I feel like I should be doing something... Lol Also, I have a few questions related to you experiencing movies in your end game home cinema. 1) What older movie(s) surprised you the most with its image and/or sound quality? 2) Now that you have a true 4K projector, have you noticed the difference between movies shot on film versus movie shot digitally? And do you have a preference? 3) With your Trinov and 4 subs, I'm curious if you have experienced any movies(usually older films) where you felt like you needed to do a bass boost? For example, I have to do +7 on my sub level to get any decent bass out of Gladiator on 4K. 4) Tony James's pick for best sounding movie?

[@BuildMontage]

Let me have a think… 1) Fifth Element. Amazing movie. Amazing in 4K with Dolby Vision. 2) Yes - lots more noise in film movies. It’s a fine line with the noise reduction and frame adapt tone mapping to get it right. 3) no need to do anything Trinnov with 4 subs is insane. All I need to do is crank up the volume and it’s great. 4) Best sounding movie so far for me is a toss up between Prey on Disney+ (I know right!!??) and Dune.

[@TerminatorJuice]

@@BuildMontage 1) For 4K UHD I'll say Blade Runner. For Standard Blu-ray I'll say Rush Hour 2(Great colors and No CGI to bring the image quality down) 2) I easily prefer movies shot on 35 mm, because they tend to look incredible in HD/UHD. Movies shot digitally are hit and miss so far IMO... Especially ones with a lot of CG finished at 2K, which stands out a lot more on the JVC 3) I find that a lot of older movies don't have as much LFE punch in my setup, so I created a second speaker pattern with +3 for the subwoofer level, which I can instantly activate with 1 click of the remote. 4) Overall I have Blade Runner 2049 as the king of audio, even tho that opening exposes all my room's rattles in the dang drop ceiling... ; ( Lol

[@kc03ti]

Beauty! Does anyone recall the room dimensions? Curious to compare scale to one I’ve started planning.

[@scarridale]

Please do a video on the HDFury Vrroom! I would love to know if this is an accessible and effective solution to having Dolby Vision on a projector, and if it is compatible with my JVC RS2100/NZ7. For instance, wondering if there are tone-mapping conflicts between the HDFury and the NZ7. Amazing room, I’m definitely jealous but in the most respectful way 😂. Congratulations on being able to enjoy such a high-end setup and your continuing success with your channel and business ventures!

[@BuildMontage]

Thanks and yes definitely will be doing a video on the HDFury - the TLDR is no conflicts at all with the JVC and HDFury - they work very well together. I love having the DV tone mapping unlocked.

[@TorinTPG]

It's been a bit - live reaction time! So much sexy KRIX...love it. The BM branded seats are amazing. I hope to sit my happy butt in them soon :) That Trinnov looks SO stinkin' slick! Oh man - January 2020 and that baby beard! You look like a different man in that video! Congrats on the (soon) 40k subs! It makes me smile that something like the uneven back walls started a new obsession to perfect things. Similar to me, mate. OCD is a real thing :) Front wides is something I need to experience to understand how they work in a setup. Again - KRIX speakers are SO sexy. "Hatched a plan" = months of work and lots of money :) #BuildThatWall Dude - that BM logo in the middle of your riser floor - perfection!!! That curtian job was much more than I realized - you did 3 walls. I thought it was just your "window wall". I imagine that those curtains knock down reflections bigly. YES YES YES on a 4th subwoofer...pressurize that room!!! What's up Michael? That BM hoodie is awesome...I need to order one Those acoustic panels look sick! Valencia are so slick - those front row seats are probably a lot of fun for guest and the kids. Nice way to integrate them into the room. That POV shot is awesome showing the front from your MLP. Good to see Leo! Beautiful rack! Those Elektra amps are beautiful! Oh baby - projector time! "Literally nothing else that I want to do" ... "for the foreseeable future" :) Yay for friends and Mim! Mate - epic upgrades, epic video! I want to see your theater in person, but I'm sure that it'll also make my room feel deficient. I'm so happy for you that you have your room how you envisioned it. Well deserved!!

[@BuildMontage]

Appreciate you watching. You won't regret it if you do... incredible piece of kit.

[@costafilh0]

Amazing room!!! I actually liked the front seats a lot! It just looks like they should be a little lower compared to the main seats, at least from some camera angles. How do you control content to watch? Tablet? Harmony? Multiple controllers? There are some solutions, devices and services that provide music and media remote control app with visual UI, like Spotify and Plex, but some only give a touch pad and basic controls like the Apple TV (last time I checked). Would be nice, a video, or at least one take on a video, with the complete experience, in first person, from entering the room, siting, lights, controls and browsing, start playing. Thanks for sharing!

[@BuildMontage]

Yes I should have made the rise a little bit higher - but as I mentioned I shouldn't even have a front row and it's not a real front row to be fair, just seats for when people come over so they don't sit on the floor. 99% of the time it's just me in the middle back row

[@sandeeravijekumar6461]

Awesome upgrades, and setup! How were the Dacmagics connected to allow the Trinnov to see the extra channels within the processor and treat it as extra channels? I am saving for an Trinnov ALT 16, but I will have more than 16 channels of sound as well.

[@BuildMontage]

Yes the dacmagic take a digital coax and a toslink and they can pass two channels each. It’s quite seamless and easy to setup and best used for the subs.

[@jeffjensen27]

I Believe That My Home Theater Takes The Ultimate 1st Place Not Only In Design Concept But Also In The Simple Fact That There Is No ☝️Other Home Theater 🎭 As Technically Advanced As Ours. Your Home Theater Is Following The Same Design Principles And Template As Its A Designated Room With A Dead Hung Movie Screen. Ours I Added The Most Important Feature In A Theater. ☝️The STAGE! Yes 👍 I Said A Stage. And ☝️Just Not Any Stage But A Fully Functional And Programmable SMART Stage That Transforms Upon Command Into All Of The Various Different Stage Elements And Modes. Simply Tap On MC = Master Control Tablet And Watch The Entire Stage Come Alive As Different Various Scene Elements Start Appearing From High Above You and Start Descending From The Ceiling Down To The Floor. Now That Is What You Call A Home Theater.

Nice job, if you weren’t 12,000 miles away I would stop by for a brew. In about 6 months you’ll be ready to upgrade.

Yes, probably I will want to change something here or there but the room build itself is DONE! Only electronics would likely be upgraded but I see nothing that needs it for the forseeable future - only things I don't really "need".

How do you find the upgrade with the Hyperphonix over the IW-50? I have them at the moment and considering the Hyperphonix for front wides and considered doing the same as you and upgrading all of them to match.

They iw-50 were fine for my room but the h45 are a big step up in performance. Gives a bigger sound in my room for sure. Plus look great and helped with my vision of the room.

@Build Montage Wonderful video, wonderful theater, and a wonderful journey you have been on Tony! I had been waiting for this video and I love the curtains. Can you explain the “S look” of the curtains? Is that what it’s call with how they hang and drape? I’m looking to add some curtains to my room as well and one thing we’re struggling with is how to keep them uniform and “even” as they are opened. I basically want the look you have with the curtains. How did you accomplish this?

[@BuildMontage]

Yes that is exactly it. Called S wave - they have a string that they hook onto which keeps them uniform. Where are you located? It may be called something different overseas.

[@ZeonStar77]

[@namirsaad2080]

Question - what have you done about your shutters? Mine resonate with the bass and I need to constantly make small adjustments to them. When a big bass boom hits, forget about it, they all shake. Maybe this is not an issue for you, but something you may have found a way to tame. Great theater BTW!

Thanks for watching. Sketchup is the best and easiest for beginners.

[@tkcdac]

Is there a building code stopping you from bedding over your window? Not much use for a window in a theater. Glass does vibrate.

[@BuildMontage]

Yes legally there needs to be a second egress. zero vibrations though with acoustic panels over it as well as the curtains. I guess I got lucky.

[@iverson_s13]

Awesome build. The attention to detail is fantastic. I'd love to know more about how you installed the side surrounds and wides in front of the curtain. Does the curtain have a break in it or is there a slit cut in the fabric?

[@BuildMontage]

Yes we cut slits in the curtains to allow the brackets to space out a bit to give the required depth without it pinching. I had to cut some of the minute detail from the video as it was already at 19m - it could have easily been 45m :)

[@zackpetrovic3029]

[@pooyahesabi]

In my opinion even with the most expensive equipments you can't feel sitting in an actual cinema, I don't know what magic is behind of that.

[@BuildMontage]

The magic is the huge open space - however - the cinema is an inferior experience in my opionion (outside of IMAX) because unlike a home theater where you can optimize for the main seat, the cinema has to cater for many many seats. I saw JW4 at a cinema, and was not impressed. The audio was shrieking, the picture was blurry - and this was supposed to be a world class cinema. For me, the experience at home I have now is perfection.

[@Gshiznit74]

Until you've experienced quality Home Theater, you just won't understand. I feel that because the environment is more comfortable and intimate, it just becomes that much more immersive. Add to that superior image and sound, and it's absolutely an annihilation of movie complexes. Also, no annoying kids, noisey people, flash photography, the list goes on. Tony, your room is legit!! So is your video production as always 👌

[@marcalvarado1915]

Amazing room and great job documenting all of the changes for us to enjoy! You know you are never actually done right? MadVR, JVC laser projector and who knows what else are waiting for you. If you need an idea for a new video, I would love to see a detailed video about the lighting control and the home assistant integration you are using. I was never able to get Harmony Span working so I still haven’t figured out how to get the lights to come up when pressing pause. Love the channel, thanks for the great content!

[@nigelstead7496]

Same here I couldn't get harmony span to work so would also love to see a home assistant video on the lighting control👍

[@koki123]

is this possible without home assistance, just the stock bridge with the harmony app?

[@BuildMontage]

Certainly Kaleidescape and MadVR would be appreciated in my room, but I am done with the big spending for the moment. Home Assistant is something I'm not an "expert" on but I was able to figure out enough to get the automation happening for my room easily enough. I will see where I can fit a video into my schedule for sure!

[@Gamer4Eire]

Oh my god! i never realised how small your room is. fair play getting so much into it.

[@BuildMontage]

Yep it’s only 3.6m wide by 4.6m long :) but perfect viewing distance from my main seat about 3.4m from the screen.

[@DIYtechie]

Great video! I really love the design of this new home theater with curtains all around. Free mounted just sounds better than in walls in my experience. This is a nice way to have external speakers looking like built ins. Also love that you are using Home Assistant to control it all. Much more flexible than control4 but of course more work. Congrats om your new setup🎉 Would love to hear what it sounds like.

Absolute stunning video will defo be giving it a rewatch I am about to install new surround speakers and am torn between having them mounted at ear height or mounted higher could I ask the height of your room, as I see your surrounds are mounted higher than ear height and wondered about the separation from your surrounds and height speakers regards Andy

[@BuildMontage]

My speakers are just over ear level, and the dispersion of the speakers works well for my seated position. I have a very high ceiling at 3m so lots of Channel separation.. they are more like in line with the shoulder if that makes sense as u can see the height clears the back of the seats

[@andrewmorrison8033]

@@BuildMontage Thanks for the quick reply Tony 3 meters would make all the difference unfortunately I only have the UK standard 2.4 meter ceiling height so I am torn between clearing the back of the seats or maintaining as much channel separation as possible I am making faux columns to mount my in-wall surrounds so I want to get it right just watched the video again and man your room has changed so much over the years those Krix surrounds, the rear panels and the way the curtains are pleated make such a difference great job

[@BuildMontage]

@@andrewmorrison8033 yes as I said right at the beginning of the video… compromise is the name of the game! I’m sure u will work it all out :)

[@jawahareswaramoorthy1860]

Also, is there any links we can download all movies , I am basically from India, we don't have a source to buy them up here directly

[@abeedr19]

Have you done any aquistic treatment for the roof, or is it just plain gypsum ceiling

[@BuildMontage]

Yes there is the star ceiling which is air gapped and made from acoustic pinboard.

[@PratyushNobeen]

Very well done and very inspirational Tony! Thanks to you I have upgraded to 7.2.6 with a dedicated theatre room (with 8 subs). Keep up with the good work - regards from Mauritius Island. ~ Pratyush.

Thanks for watching! Your room sounds like fun!

I miss the KRIX Hat mate! The look isn't complete! Great job.

[@BuildMontage]

The Krix hat make a few appearances in the video :) I need to reposition my overhead mic as the bill from the had obstructs the audio - hence no hat lately :)

[@wakawaka12320]

I may have missed it but what screen brabd and material are you using? Gain etc

[@wakawaka12320]

@BuildMontage thanks for the reply Tony. I happen to have the NP5 too, currently on a traditional non AT 100" screen and am wanting to go 120 AT but I'm worried about the brightness on the lower gain AT screens. Are you running your jvc at Max brightness on your 120 AT? and would you say brightness wise your lacking a little? Also to consider is once the lamp hits 500 has and further brightness is less again. I'm currently running mine in low lamp mode on the 100" and am very happy with what I'm getting. Oh any your throw distance must be in the 3.9-4m range to get 120 in your room?

[@poolep88]

I started with an LG HTIB where the Subwoofer also had the reciever function in built. I dont think i will get to thie level, but im pretty sure i would be you if i had play money. Amazing setup

[@BuildMontage]

Play money for me was multiple side jobs and selling stuff on the side and scrimping and saving. This was all self funded without family funds.

[@poolep88]

@Build Montage that's impressive mate. Got those new baby debts 9n the way, maybe in a few years. In the mean time I will live vicariously through you.

[@BuildMontage]

@@poolep88 definitely, everyone’s circumstances are different this is only very recent for me to be able to do this. KZbin helped a LOT as it gives me access to more than I would otherwise… the first and most important thing being knowledge.

[@poolep88]

@@BuildMontage can i get a rate on this setup, i see you removed the IW-50s So looking at LS12000 - need laser and like motorised lens IW50 for fronts IW30 for rears IC50 for atmos Subwoofer - unsure Amp - maybe a second hand anthem, or denon

[@doyne_dtp]

Hi Tony, can I ask what paint was used for the room? Looks great!

[@doyne_dtp]

I’m thinking of painting my theatre Black

[@BuildMontage]

Sure the paint is Taubmans Black Fox

@@BuildMontage thanks!!

[@markmes5890]

Just epic Tony. The room is looking top top draw!! Well done mate 👍🏻👏🏻

Thanks mate appreciate it - hope you're doing well.

[@paulevans1637]

Hi Tony what are you going to do with your IW 50 speakers ?

[@BuildMontage]

I sold them

[@paulholyoak]

Absolutely stunning Tony. I have no shame in saying that I'll be copying many of your designs and product choices for my home theatre build.

[@BuildMontage]

That's great! I love sharing not only mine but other rooms to help inspire those people wanting to build their own room and are after inspiration :)

[@SasikanthNimmagadda]

@BuildMontage may i know your theatre room dimensions.. this is so inspiring..

[@BuildMontage]

Hi - its in the video - but it's 3.6m wide, 4.6m deep and 3m high.

[@straightspine9870]

I've got to say, being able to see someone who's making what I'd consider to be a dream setup is awesome. It's especially helpful to see someone doing this in Australia as there's so little good content like this that I can reference to see what's available and attainable here. Absolutely love your work and so excited for you!

[@BuildMontage]

Thanks mate, and yes there isn’t a huge KZbin presence for home theater in Australia, but if you wanted to start buying local, Krix is a great way to begin :)

[@straightspine9870]

@@BuildMontage my man, thanks to you for initially making me aware of Krix and an absolute lad at West Coast Hifi (Perth) I've got a set of Harmonix! I auditioned a heap of speakers and they were all great but not quite right. I'd always been keen on Krix so Alex from West Coast sent me off to another store to listen to some. I was looking at a set of Phoenix as they were in my budget but there was a set of Harmonix traded in by the OWNER of the store. Got an unbelievable deal on them! Hopefully around tax time I'll get a Vortex centre speaker and I'm off to the races. Oh, and the MX-10 is actually my end-goal somewhere down the line!

[@BuildMontage]

@@straightspine9870 sounds great mate! Enjoy 😊

[@idohaver11]

What is the viewing distance from the center seat to the screen?

[@BuildMontage]

About 3.4m

[@Jupiters1337]

Absolute perfection. only thing i wonder you could improve is getting aspect ratio blackout borders

[@BuildMontage]

Hmm… not sure I know what you mean. I want a 16:9 and this is literally the biggest image I can get with the throw distance of the NP5. Also the bezel covers the wall opening for the speakers :)

[@Jupiters1337]

@@BuildMontage I mean masking panels for when watching cinescope movies.

[@BuildMontage]

Oh yes even with the awesome black levels on JVC u can still see very faintly the bars but it’s so minimal I don’t even notice. Horizontal masking is insanely difficult.

[@Jupiters1337]

@@BuildMontage It's not too bad I made some with Styrofoam wrapped with velvet. and magnets on the corners. it's definitely a worthwhile endeavor.

[@BuildMontage]

@@Jupiters1337 I have tried several methods and they all look really janky. For now, I am just leaving it until I can rig up some kind of automated masking. I liked the idea of foam and magnets though - I did try it but it looked bad LOL!
