Anthony Gramani is such a boss.

[@audioprotaro1338]

great educational material

[@carlosmante]

The "sweet spot" is beside the ice cold Cervezas.

[@flashhog01]

What does the audio quality of this video matter; validity and usefulness of the information is what is important.

[@dedskin1]

Come on man , because one should take pride in his job, you wont find car mechanic in a crappy car , this is more then 40% distortion , it can hardly get worse

[@Malmsteen1990]

I was watching this alone in my bedroom, in full screen (50"tv), then 41:13 when we walked into camera, scared me as hell, damn.. I really though somebody were in my room :(!!

[@DrBroncanuus]

wow ..thank you for the audio education...

[@ColocasiaCorm]

Oh man a young grimani… with technical difficulties

[@hanknova7771]

Thank you very much. This was very informative and entertaining.

[@ericnolan6877]

Ironically, this video has some of the worst audio ever.

[@maximme]

absolutely horrible. maybe no sound man that day

[@ikaeksen]

Funny!

[@ericbataller7348]

eric nolan, you're right!

[@danaadalaide5648]

Yeah, its the automatic gain compensation in the video camera lol

[@lucaserler5821]

Just a Little compression :D

[@ikaeksen]

If found out with a lot of Dave Brubecks music, you dont even need to sit in sweetspot to get real good stereo. The soundstage on his records are amazing this way.

[@ok-tchau]

Thanks for the video! It helped a lot.

[@imranward4092]

I hope someone asked him about using multiple subwoofers to cut down on peaks and dips across low frequencies. That is the most effective way i've seen. 1:08:00

[@CrochetNewsNetwork]

I just saw a more recent video where he said his spring loaded bass trap is pretty much defunct because it’s cheaper and better to purchase more sub woofers to contain the sound. Great point you being up. How do you know where to place two or three subs?

[@SantiagoM95]

someone have the .PDF of this pressentation ¿?

[@Fuegoalklero]

get some answer??

[@RAMtrails]

greats the crowd with "how is everyone going?"

akaZimba Learn how to spell properly, before behaving like a typical silly American who likes to nitpick and criticize others, desperately trying to appear intelligent.

[@JohnMRead-yj1zy]

Have you done any work with the following: 1. On wall art work commonly found in homes 2. Dolby Atmos systems such as 5.4 or 7.4? Very informative video...

[@Veldoril]

47:50 "Focus". lol

[@you2ber252]

What's the cost of furnishing a 150 sqft room that way? My speakers cost 3000 USD, My amp about 1500 USD. I sit on a 100 USD chair. How do they compare, in terms of cost?

[@b3b3chaud]

Theoretically the impedance that do not perfectly match between those; source-preamp-amp-speaker. you'll get standing wave, higher floor noise, power&sensitivity loss, etc... What did i miss? tks

[@rabokel]

Very good content. The amp-speaker relation part was interesting. Also weighting issues by db seems to be a viable concept. Talking about directivity: I wonder what this means for toe-in and/or speakers with a tilted front. Wouldn't it make sense to have all chassis directed at you? In other words a speaker with a tilted front would have to stand really low because otherwise it is pointing to the ceiling?

[@vacationboyvideos]

advice please....I have a concerted 2car garage, floor is tile. :( was thanking of making that room a movie theater/gaming /surround sound room. right now I have no curtains up either and no carpet. I don't want spend a lot $$$ Incase I decide to rent it out As a bedroom vs home theator room.(or may keep it my bedroom/and mini home theator) what sound absorbing things would u recommend? (im thanking of buying carpet and placing it down like a rug) and walls? curtains? (right now my bedroom is carpeted and curtains and has a lot of reverb so I have no tv in there)

[@thomascochran3641]

If you don't know who Tony Grimani is and his history in the audio industry, do some research. I guarantee that Tony knows what he is talking about.

[@jesusjoelgarcia8115]

Meybe you wanted start with this video

[@nimitzg]

did anyone got a hand on that PDF?

[@RicktheRecorder]

Audio levels left to a short-time-constant AGC circuit. Pretty disgraceful really.

[@yamansitar]

what should i do to my room to fix the bass as its to loud ,i have some bass traps ???

[@jortpeters6419]

I think this guy might have a drinking problem. Or at least a wine problem.

[@monetize_this8330]

in 2020 : rew.com that he mentions has disappeared => Real Estate Webmasters Irritating video on many levels but also because he skims through a lot of slides towards the end.

[@ToadStool942]

After watching for 25 min. I'm still waiting for the speaker to say something of value. Maybe he's holding back until the end why somebody might hire hiim. But I'm done.

[@thorstenamesoder4803]

100% right.

[@guillermomorales9856]

He Is paid by the hour

[@evil_twit]

Most Music is McDonalds, not haute cuisine though. :p

[@grahambryant5578]

lets go outside near the pool and talk 50 dollar microphone sales pitch

[@thorstenamesoder4803]

In the first 10 minutes NOTHING relevant is said... :l

[@dannyleefye]

Audio University for rank amateurs! Severely BAD audio!!!

[@homecinemademo]

This room needs some treatment.

[@eliar.tabrizi]

Is this a class on sound? This video has the worst possible sound.

[@Redzo79]

This guy is the reason why human kind invented abortions.

[@Tnteamclear]

This was a very painful experience! Terrible sound quality.

[@venomsss001]

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

[@b44nad]

I can't stand to watch to this clip anymore. This is about beautifull sound? The sound is VERRY, VERRY bad and annoing.

[@lBuckman13]

Irony

[@andysummersthxcinemaandmyc7748]

Same here this video about sound is load of rubbish. I stopped the video at 1m 51s which I won't ever get back. One the most boring sound videos ever!

Jesus.. The audio lecture recorded so badly, very poor audio and video recorded

[@alejandrovarelagandara7874]

Just hearing how this video sounds it’s enough for me! A real scam!

[@andysummersthxcinemaandmyc7748]

Worst audio for dolby sound ever heard its so noisy I can't bother to watch anymore of this NOISE at 1m 51s

[@marvingarcia920]

Impossible to hear this horrible noise. The terrible audio is making my ears cry.

[@CHROMATICFILMS]

Un-watchable. Please delete.
