I have a question. I currently have a 13 month old son and currently have another baby on the way next summer. As someone who has children yourself. Did you hold off on making the dedicated home theatre space until they were a certain age, or did you create a cinema space for between nappy changes?

[@TerminatorJuice]

Before I even watch this I'll say that 2020 and 2021 justified owning a dedicated home theater more than any other time in the 20 years that I've been in this hobby! Now I'll watch the video and see what you say about this great topic! : )

[@northeastcorals]

You read my mind!

[@mocheen4837]

We used the room a lot during Covid. I was really glad that I had a room to enjoy movies in.

[@TerminatorJuice]

@@mocheen4837 When WB announced that all their new 2021 movies would be streaming day and date on HBO Max, I was feeling pretty justified about spending a good chunk of 2020 doing upgrades to my theater room! : )

[@kabrandt22]

Tis true! I finally decided to go back to the theater when The Batman came out. The picture and sound were horrible. I do go see it again in a Dolby Cinema and it was great, but I still prefer my home theater.

[@TerminatorJuice]

@@kabrandt22 I broke my 3 year streak of not going to the theater to see The Batman and the sound was absolutely incredible! And it wasn't a Dolby Cinema... The image quality was pretty washed out, but idk of that was the way it was shot or the projector, so I'll have to judge it for myself when the movie hits HBO Max in a few weeks.

[@maxjonak6742]

here’s my biggest thing. You need to get to the bottom of why you want one. You need to be sure that it’s not just to impress others, and you need to tell the difference between a temporary enjoyable activity and a long term hobby and relaxation method. It’s not worth putting the time money and effort into something that you end up only using to it’s full potential one a month like I do now. Used it almost every day for about a year and a half and now the hobby has faded and I use it as a theater about once a month. Now I just use it to watch tv. Receiver needs factory reset and redo calibration but I just haven’t found it necessary. Make sure you know you’re in it for the long run before dishing out the funds

[@BuildMontage]

I think this is a great point. Although you never know, you may get the itch again to do an upgrade here or there. Hope u do find a way to enjoy the hobby again!

[@marcobotticelli]

besides using my HT room for it´s purpose, every single day i just enter my HT room just to be there for a while because I love that room with it´s energy so much... thank you for your your video.

[@BuildMontage]

That's great! That's how I use mine too!

[@monijam1]

Hell yes it's worth it! Movies, TV Shows, Video Games, Music, Streaming...there's so much content available today to enjoy and with most people spending more time at home because of the pandemic, having (if possible) a dedicated home theater is highly desirable!!!

[@BuildMontage]

Couldn't agree more! I timed my KZbin journey well I think haha!

[@mocheen4837]

I did not think the seating would have such an impact on my viewing experience. I have the Valencia Tuscany seats and I love them.

[@onthecasejase]

Great topic to cover Tony, you totally nailed the pros and cons! I definitely reckon it’s worth it. The enjoyment I get from my room is beyond measure. Being in there takes me to another place where I can forget about life for a while! I think the biggest con for me is finding the time to actually enjoy the room as much as I’d like to. For ages I’ve spent so much of my time worrying about making minor sound/vision tweaks, or what the next equipment upgrade would be, or how I could make my room better. What I realised was, I had no time left to actually enjoy my room. I now just focus on finding the time to use the room purely to enjoy movies and music, and to be happy and content with my room the way it is……and I’ve never enjoyed it more! No matter how big or small the room, no matter the budget, ultimately it’s all about the enjoyment this hobby brings!

[@BuildMontage]

Well said mate! Your room is a sensational room, and has the best movie collection I’ve ever seen! Still need to come visit in person when this madness ends and do an in person tour and chat with u about your room.

[@TorinTPG]

This video does a great job of highlighting pros and cons. There are times that the cons are vast, but when you get go into your own theater and enjoy the hard work and countless hours spent - 100% worth it! I agree with the 1st con - MONEY! Good lord...I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started this hobby a few years ago. I don't regret it at all, but still surprising at times. The awesome thing about HT is that it is all scalable. You've had a few videos about budget and paths to upgrade. This is an important thing for people to remember. You can make an awesome setup that fits almost any budget. Always fun to see a cameo of myself that is unexpected. I forgot that we shot footage for the PS5 😆

[@BuildMontage]

I have lots of footage on tap ;) But it's mutually assured destruction! Thanks for being part of the channel as you have since the beginning brother.

[@TorinTPG]

@@BuildMontage Had I not gotten into the hobby, we might not have met. I posted a front stage pic that started it all :)

[@jimmy_dee]

Great, honest summing up of a home theatre. I would say the biggest con is the cost, biggest pro is the flexibility of watching a movie anytime (and not having to spend hours for the whole process I getting there and sitting through ads), the biggest surprise is how hard it is convincing the rest of the family to go watch a move in the HT as opposed to the family room tv.

[@BuildMontage]

Very true indeed - same for me it’s usually just me!

[@martinbailey3408]

Great information for those on the fence about having a dedicated room! Always spot on tony!

[@BuildMontage]

Thanks Marty, hope you enjoyed your sneaky cameo ;)

[@t-revman2174]

Your room is absolutely awesome Tony. I have watched all of your videos but haven't commented on them. My dream of having a dedicated room has come unstuck due to Covid. As you might be aware here in Australia the cost of building materials have sky rocketed and not to mention there is a shortage of building supplies. My extension (which included a Theatre Room) would have been completed months ago if the world was normal. I will have to wait for things to stabilise, but who knows how long that will be......Anyway, keep the videos coming Tony, you're keeping my dream alive. Oh......and a dedicated Theatre Room is definitely worth it for sure !!!

[@BuildMontage]

Thanks mate, I remember you and your comments, you've been subbed over a year :) Thanks for watching and yes totally aware of the cost here in Australia - which is why I support local companies like Krix and Elektra and local businesses where I can :)

[@4fastdrs]

65" mu850 upstairs in the bedroom. 75"QN90A in the living room paired with the Q950A soundbar. 85" QN800A in the dedicated home theater room in the basement with a 5.2.2 set up. And I can honestly say from the oldest TV in the bedroom all the way down to the theater room there's movies and TV shows I would, and would not want to watch on each screen. Before setting up the dedicated home theater, I legitimately questioned the logic of spending so much money for a room that doesn't get used that often. I settled on a Max of 2% of the home's value for the budget. (🤔not for any justifiable reason. I'm a realtor, that's just how my brain works.) And $26,000 later the theater room is done... and I still have another 10k to go, 🤫🤫🤫 don't tell my wife, lol . Planning on adding the Samsung LSP9T UST and a 130" retractable screen to the setup. The theater room is great, but a word of caution if you set up a dedicated home theater room, at least in our case it can be a bit much for everyday viewing. I definitely would not want this to be the only TV viewing experience in the house. If you only have a living room to use for every day TV and, home theater viewing as well, I can definitely recommend the Q950A soundbar for those with Samsung TVs. The utterly ridiculous screen placement on the soundbar, is not an issue once it's set up. But that's only because the Samsung TV displays almost all of the sound bars info, not sure how you would get along with it if you had a different TV brand. With that Soundbar paired with QSymphony on the TV, we get about 85% of the home theater experience of the theater room. And if I didn't have the space for a theater room I would definitely be satisfied with the living room setup. Something to be mindful of, be very aware of what light sources are across from your TV screen, we have a wall of Windows directly across from our living room TV and with the 85" upstairs for the first few days before the theater room was finished that big-screen caught a lot of reflections. It's bright enough the power through the ambient light in the room but when there's dark scenes Reflections can be extremely distracting. After reviewing how the best TV in the industry deals with Reflections, I could never recommend an OLED for any room that has Windows in it.

[@kman9387]

Not only is it worth it it's been more easy and affordable than ever! I think home theater is for everyone especially since there are no limits based on so many different equipment options 👌 Anyone who doesn't should consider what they used to spend going to the movies and push that money to a home theater, not to mention that movie theaters are falling behind home theater technology 👍😎

[@BuildMontage]

You nailed it there - I also believe that this hobby is for all. There are so many products and different pricepoints to help you get in where you can afford. It's like saying if you can't afford a Ferrari, you may as well not own a car.

[@jeremyj.]

Beautiful video! Such a heap of things to consider when building a home theatre! Thanks for the video and keep it up!

[@ark9515]

I have to fight this battle every single day Tony, reflecting on was investing in a dedicated HT all worth it especially when Cinemas have started to open up and now the day and date releases will be over in 2022. It's a constant battle I guess. What I have come to realize is that the most important factor in owning a dedicated HT is the sense of "ownership" and feeling proud about it and letting yourself "unwind" and getting lost (escapism) is worth the price of admission.

[@BuildMontage]

So many factors. Convenience and enjoyment of an immersive experience on tap, my own personal retreat.

[@Lowkey_nxthxn]

Those speakers in your living room are so gorgeous. The sound they reproduce. Is probably out of this world.

[@BuildMontage]

Thank you! They are and sound amazing too. Here’s a vid I did on them :kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6LGqHZ9Z7ytpKs

[@Lowkey_nxthxn]

@@BuildMontage they make me wanna upgrade my system.

[@SoCalVipers]

There's no space in my house for a dedicated room. But my living room theater happens to work really well. We don't have any light control, so we can only watch movies at night on the projector. I'm OK with that because I don't like to be inside on a nice day, and in SoCal, almost every day is a nice day. I like how cozy it is to watch a movie on a regular sofa. In my room, the speaker placement isn't ideal, but happens to be very good. To be significantly better would require major acoustic design, a much larger space and better speakers. However, if I had the space, I'd likely make a dedicated theater that looks more like a living room, but with ideal speaker placement and light control. My dad has a really nice dedicated theater that I designed many years ago. It's in his guest house. Despite having to sometimes go out in the rain to use it, he still does on a regular basis. It's an event, like going out to a movie theater when he used his home theater.

[@kovrcek]

You don't need a dedicated room at all! I just use a living room with retractable screen in front of TV/furniture. You don't even need new stuff, all can be bought used, even audiophile quality. So that means little investment is needed to try if you like it or not. Of course you have to compromise a lot in this case but still better than to invest thousands and never use the room. When it's in the living room you have to use it :D Still the sound is very decent and detailed (usually better than in cinema, for example even the best local cinemas don't go very low in bass like 20hz or lower), you get to sit always in perfect angle to the screen, with bass shakers you get a nice tactile response for big monsters, can rewatch your favorite scenes, watch movies that are no longer in theaters, even some super old ones in 3D etc. Super immersive!

[@BuildMontage]

There so many options available definitely.

[@SpecOfTech]

Great video Tony, all you lucky buggers out there with dedicated rooms lol. But I am with you 100%, we spend all this time and money building our theaters, and then we are almost too busy to use them enough. Nobody ever said life was fair lol.

Tony one big pro I see in your set up is the ease of access. Not out in a shed or down in a basement, but just off the hallway as you’re walking past. Like you say , can stick your head in and admire the setup.

[@BuildMontage]

Yeah I will say that is a bit fun to do… downside is the room could be 1m bigger in length and it would be perfect. But we compromise and do what we can!

Our Home Theater has been a great new hobby. The con is how expensive it is to upgrade and maintain. My wife and I do not have a lot of disposable income.

[@BuildMontage]

Yes, this is always the problem for sure.

[@brendonla]

Interesting video. But alternately one can buy a portable 100" projection screen with stand, a 1080p or 4K projector that has Bluetooth (or connect your streaming stick with Bluetooth) to your stereo or paired Bluetooth speakers or 2.1 soundbar for a home theater experience in a spare bedroom or den room. I did that summer 2020 until we moved into a new home this summer with dedicated media room. No matter what level of cash one wants to spend it's never been easier to setup a movie-theater-like experience at home.

[@mocheen4837]

I had a spare bedroom bathroom downstairs that I converted into a dedicated movie room. It is not very large. I have a 77” oled and chairs from Valencia. I am running a Marantz 7.4.3 system. I have a bowers and Wilkins 6.1 system in my living room running off a pioneer elite receiver. In my bedroom I have 75” LG with a onkyo 5.1 system. In my garage I used my old 58” Samsung 4K tv and mirage satellite system with dual subs.

[@edwarddesmond2975]

I would say that the Majority of people just don't have the space nor the money, you can get home theater in a living room where most people watch TV, a dedicated room makes watching a movie too much of an event, I have a dedicated home theater but I still watch most of my Movies in my bedroom on a Polk Audio Blackstone satellites system and a Onkyo TX 393 receiver or in my living room on my Klipsch/Denon system but mainly in my bedroom like I said, A dedicated room is great to show off to friends and have them over for movies but after awhile it barely gets used I have a small circle of friends and although my family is big my living room uses less electricity and with streaming getting better through smart TVs and the up keep of a dedicated home theater 🎭 I think the best part personally was building it plus with upgrade after upgrade it bare look like my original Theater because you constantly want more

[@ozarkbagger1380]

Great info although I don’t see any cons to having one😎. I do have a basement and we had the theater designed from the first blueprints thankfully. My wife would be out on the speakers and such in the living room for sure. Mine is also plain without any decor to speak of. We have black cloth panels covering the ceiling, black curtains like we see in some big theaters. We just changed to black carpet and the picture looks absolutely gorgeous! The black carpet absorbs much more light reflection than the other carpet we had. There’s still enough light to be able to leave while the movie is playing. We enjoy having friends and family in over for dinner and movie night as they call it ha.

[@BuildMontage]

I agree - no cons whatseoever :D My room has changed a lot since this video - new reveal coming soon.

[@bayernsa]

If you plan to watch movies often then ye, home theater is a must. I have a cheap 300 seater theater near me that does £8 movies. But these seem to attract low class people. I've gone there 3 times, all times, people chatting in-between action scenes, on their phones etc. The only good cinema experiences I have had is when I went to bfi imax, tickets cost £30 for a movie but with great expense it usually filters out annoying people. My experience was much better. But after 100 movies that would cost me £3000. I setup a 120 inch projector in my room with 5.1 audio (only thing space allows) and I'm much happier.

When you watch a movie in a theater you are transported in the experience. When you do it in a home theater room you enjoy the same. When you watch a movie on a large LED screen you're distracted by everything around the house and the non dedicated acoustics aren't the same.

Just bought a Hisense UST Laser Tv for spare bedroom we converted to cinema room. Love it except for the fact it reflects onto the ceiling. Do you have this problem with your VAVA? Would painting the ceiling black help reduce this first-world problem 🤔. I'm thinking of painting the room in a grey colour scheme similar to yours. Currently it's burgundy (my hubby is a bit grumpy about this suggestion as we've only recently re-painted.) I noticed how immersive your HT is plus it looks so classy!

[@BuildMontage]

No I don't get a glare that I notice, but yes, any glossy or shiny finish will reflect the light. In my dedicated room I have a star ceiling so it does absorb a lot of the light. Burgundy would actually also be a great colour to absorb light as well. Thanks for watching :)

Good video Tony but you did not mention one very important thing, which actually happened to me and my family. Your home theater will ruin your cinema experience, my family now say that we have better video and audio at home than our local cinema 😅 My 15 year old daughter actually commented after we watched Spider-man No Way Home earlier today!

This is very true. For me it’s the convenience of pausing the movie or being able to sloth out and still enjoy as big an experience as at the cinema.

Home theaters are generally thought to return you around 65% of their original cost. So, if you have spent $20,000 on a home theater, expect it to add around $13,000 to the value of your home. So, yes, it adds value, but a loss in terms of return.

I did a video on my theater. Check my channel. It’s called “how much does it cost”

[@colincams]

Don't see the point in a dedicated room that's only used for movies. I have a lounge room with 5.2.4 and 4K TV. I can use it all the time and even makes watching free to air enjoyable.

[@mattmuncher2315]

I definitely watch TV series and game a little in my room. It's such a buzz walking into a space that is purpose build to lose yourself to immersion 👍. But each to there own

[@BuildMontage]

Totally! I tried to make this point in the video that you need to weigh it all up.

[@Jigxs]

Well you could have one for way wayyy cheaper if you gonna just watch movies by yourself that is. How? Buy a good vr and a good headset

[@BuildMontage]

Give me headaches and eye strain from close focus. Can't beat a big screen and big sound in my opinion :D

[@anees5675]

Will kids go astray?....will @ home theater divert their attention from studies?

[@BuildMontage]

Mine have zero interest

[@nigelweir3852]

Unfortunately doesn’t make the bad movies out there much better. By the time you collect enough good movies the tech has changed

[@BuildMontage]

I use the room for chilling out as well as watching movies, and I have collected HEAPS of movies that I enjoy in there. Lots of garbage too of course.

All I heard in this video was become a KZbiner get multiple theater setups.

[@BuildMontage]

Totally - highly recommend HAHA!

[@gregjones2472]

Sine it is 2021 then yes... in 2022 no.

[@BuildMontage]

Why?

[@bryanp4827]

Bro, if you think there are cons to owning a home theatre, then CLEARLY you not only shouldn't have one, but also haven't done it properly...

[@BuildMontage]

Did you watch the video??? Or just reacting to the title…

[@markmes5890]

There are comprises to every single room and certainly cons in owning and maintaining one. I think this video is very informative and aimed at the people who are just starting out and have no knowledge of what’s involved. Would love to see your no compromise room Bryan where everything is delusional and perfect

[@movieholic-hometheater1928]

I see only pros of having a Home Theater there are no cons

[@BuildMontage]

Love it!

[@corevamorebolmara1143]

the biggest cost of a cinema room..... is the room itself ;)

[@BuildMontage]

This is true, but it's a variable cost - every room is different :)

[@john26262]

Your beard looks ridiculous

[@mrsbuildmontage8442]

Worth it! 😀 The question is are the upgrades worth more than your marriage? 🤣

[@BuildMontage]

Nooooo… of course not……. :)
