I have yet to see a design challenge that these guys couldn't overcome with a well thought out plan, incredible install technicians and the proper equipment choices...plus, challenges are a LOT more fun than a plain old rectangular room.

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks! Yes, it certainly makes the job interesting!

[@mikehayes1404]

I love how the panels are finished, very clean!!

Terrific video guys. You all always have something new for me to learn in these. I love the lip sync video and am going to go try that in my system today!

[@AudioAdvice]

Rock on!

[@ErnieChartier]

Good design info! There is rarely a "perfect" theater room. Always have to make good compromises.

[@AudioAdvice]

Absolutely!

[@squared80]

Velvet on that ceiling near the screen would do wonders for that picture.

[@AudioAdvice]

Agreed!

[@mattwhite9845]

Great layout, and awesome install!

Thanks a bunch!

Great looking theater room!

[@AudioAdvice]

It really is!

[@notsorandumusername]

Those acoustic panels look beautiful! I was genuinely thinking it was some very fancy wallpaper at first. The color and finish is just perfect for this room.

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks so much! We would be happy to help you find the right type for your room. Just reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com

[@danielwander605]

The knee walls with the rear speakers is a great idea. I’ve never seen that before, but seems like it will work very well since the seats are stepped down.

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes, it was an awesome solution that our design team came up with! And they have good line of sight to the middle and front rows and actually sound really good! Thanks for watching :)

[@harrisonlainhart8754]

Sick theater!

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks!

[@gb3496]

OK, what am I missing here...? The two rear speakers are literally 6" off the floor...? And the two front subwoofers have acoustic treatments covering them...?

[@AudioAdvice]

Great point. We should have pointed out a couple of additional things in the video. The first is that we custom cut out the speaker driver locations in the acoustic panels. So when you see the full wall panels both in the front and on the sides, the location where the speakers are have nothing in front of them except acoustically transparent cloth. The rear speakers are slightly lower than we would typically want them for the rear row because they had to be put in the bar walls, however, they are very close to correctly height for the primary listening position which is lower down because of the risers. Both great points that we should have made in the video. Thanks.

[@totalplonker824]

One unexpected benefit of having smart lighting. When the music genre changes... ambient colours follow suit 😊

[@AudioAdvice]

Very cool!

[@michelcouture7026]

Very interesting, how do you account for the slope in the roof in your gui tool? Celling hight?

[@AudioAdvice]

Glad you liked it. There was not a way to have the tool account for angled ceilings, with all of the possible variations, it would be far tool complicated. We just have to do ones like this manually after we start with the basic room dimensions as a rectangle. However the tool still works fantastic for screen size, sight lines, etc. Thanks for watching

[@percybedford6266]

Great room and layout. The question I have is what projector is in the setup?

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks! It is a Sony VPL-VW715ES.

[@SheepNizzle]

You all did a great job. It seems weird that the homeowner chose a Roku over something better for streaming (Apple TV) or something better for HDD playback (Nvidia Shield Pro).

[@AudioAdvice]

Thank you, we are happy you enjoyed it. The top of the line Roku is very good and many people prefer its interface over the others.

[@edgarzamudio5987]

where can i find the black fabric you guys used where the screen is to cover up the whole wall???

[@commanderrussels2612]

not sure if i'd have bothered with the surrounds backs, considering they are firing into the seatbacks. great job on working within the room though.

[@AudioAdvice]

The customer really wanted the rears and they actually have a good line of sight to the main listening position in the middle row. It is not ideal, but we did what was possible within the space. Thanks for watching!

[@jayden5924]

Wish you guys were in Tennessee

[@AudioAdvice]

We travel 😊

[@TheOrlandoRealtor]

Was there any specific reason of not using the JBL synthesis preamp on this project if your using the JBL synthesis speakers?

[@AudioAdvice]

The customer specifically wanted an Anthem 1140 and the ARC Genesis software. However, there is a big advantage to using all JBL Synthesis products like you said and is typically what we recommend. So at the end of the day it was just customer preference. Hope that helps!

[@JB23669]

Hi love the work! Can you tell me how much this cost? I understand everyone's situation is different and all that. But can you please give a dollar value to how much this cost in total with parts labor everything? If you don't want to give a number at least a range would be helpful. Thanks! Great work again!

[@AudioAdvice]

Thank you. The written description has a link to all of the gear we used with prices. www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/7-2-4-jbl-synthesis-home-theater-showcase?+jbl+home+theater Thank you for watching

[@JB23669]

@@AudioAdvicehi I saw that but my question was total cost such as for labor, design, fees, etc? That’s why I was curious what the total was.

[@AudioAdvice]

@@JB23669 Sorry, out of respect for our clients who are so gracious to allow us to film their homes we do not talk about pricing.

[@demariow78]

Did you/they use Anthem's or JBL's Amp to power this 10" sub? JBL's website does not tell you what amp to use.

[@AudioAdvice]

JBL amp was used to power the sub.

[@demariow78]

@@AudioAdvice Thanks! I like those in-wall subs a lot.

[@benjidover12]

Great looking theater, but you never give a final price for the project. What did this cost?

[@AudioAdvice]

The link in our description to the article has most of the products listed. We did not add up a total amount for this theater. Thanks for watching!

[@Losttouchjs]

The homeowner could have saved himself a big headache if he would have had the builder design a room perfectly rectangle, right from the beginning. Missed opportunity! This could have been a perfect storm in the home theater world. The homeowner either wasn’t thinking or he didn’t care. My friend had a house built and told the builder just what he wanted. If this was an existing house it would be a different story. That’s when you have to make exceptions. Still looks very good though.

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes, the homeowner wanted it to be a multipurpose room with a bar in the back and able to entertain parties too. Thanks for watching!

[@tommymoree]

The chairs cost more then my whole house... Make something for us common folk?

[@AudioAdvice]

These chairs are likely less expensive than you may think. They are the most functional chairs out there but less than almost any high performance theater chairs. Check them out: www.audioadvice.com/revelation-home-theater-seating

[@KylesVideos]

You can make a decent theatre for not a lot of money. Used projector, white wall, find some nice vintage speakers or some new budget ones. Monoprice has good budget speakers in my opinion, you can get new Dolby atmos AV receivers under $400, and use the couch you already have! Applied much of this to my setup and I'm all in less than 2k and have a decent little setup!

[@AdamsMusicandFun]

Great video, but why are you wearing a black shirt with a brown belt and brown shoes? Come on, man...

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for the positive feedback. You are tough on the host clothing choice :-) One person says go with brown and the other says black and another says go casual. All joking aside, thanks for the feedback and hope you enjoyed the video

[@AdamsMusicandFun]

@@AudioAdvice All in good fun! Thanks for the reply. Love the channel!
