[@xanderx9988]

I added a third pair of Atmos speakers and I am not impressed. It seems like it always ends up only using one or two pairs. I stopped using the front heights and configured the avr with only one pair height speakers and wired the rear Heights to mirror the middles to create a phantom image. The only way I know how to Mirror two pairs is to Connect one set to the wired terminals and the other set to plug them in with RCA cables via an external amp. If I were buy a power amp that can power six heights, how do I set it up all six to mirror the same source?

[@joelchan2978]

Sup Man, nice video, my question Is.. the sound from Toslink or HDMI source can send sound from the front speakers on the emotiva? I mean the Dolby digital can be decoder trough pass on the front preout ?

[@tarunkarthik9954]

What cables do you use ????

[@mrbobbybtv]

The woofers moving on startup does not show how 'powerful' the amplifier is, it's rather bad actually because it's passing DC voltage to your speakers. That doesn't necessarily harm your speakers if it's for a very short moment but it does show that the amplifier does not have a good startup protection.

[@tacticalAV]

Oh how much I've learned, and a lot of it has been from people like yourself. There is criticism... like your channel or videos suck, and there is constructive criticism. Very helpful, thank you. Several things I should have pointed out in the video that were simply not true. I would love to learn more about the circuitry and designs different companies have used in audio products over the years and I am fascinated with the time period when America started using transistors and mosfets as opposed to vacuum tubes and different output stages.

[@davekallerae5672]

how do you get a 18.2 surround

[@tacticalAV]

dave kallerae you would get one or 2 surround sound processors, then a few amps to run the speakers from, setting up a total of 18 up, instead of people doing odd things like using the speaker terminals on your subwoofer, or adding 2 receivers together. That might get 18 speakers working but not 18 separate channels. If you took 2 Dolby atmos receivers, and hooked them up using pre pro devices, you could get all 18 actual channels to work. Only some of the best receivers have 11.2 channels of processing. But a separate surround processor, adding a second or third allows people with larger theaters or extremely big rooms to hook up separate preamps and amplifiers to sets of speakers, generating the actually channels.

[@davekallerae5672]

hi im a little confused?. i want a theater with the Auro 3D 10.1 set up and dobly atmos and dts x.. so having one receiver hooked up for auro 3D using the 5.1 speaker setup with added height channels.. so how do you use the 5.1 speakers with another receiver for dobly amots or dts x? if you got your main 7.1 set up and add other speakers ..you still need the main 7.1 speakers for all 3 formats..you cant have 3 recviers hooked up to thoses main 7.1 speaker layout??? thanks

[@michaelwiggler511]

Hi, my lx 701 pioneer has currently 5.1 setup but is capable of doing 7.2.4 atmos. I did not add height channels because i need to cut celling and wire everything and that is pain in the ass and it is left for future. But i noticed line outs for each channel (height surrounds etc) and because i have studio monitors in music room, i got idea to wire 2 more fronts to get larger ''stage''. Now, it does not count as discrete surround wide channel but i figured, when you fronts playing, front wides can only play some SIDE information of the stereo filed but if you have center channel that acts as mono mid information and LEFT and RIGHT speaker acts as stereo's sides, that can only means that front wides acts as side of the stereo side which does not make any sense. So if i connect receiver amplified speakers and line out active speakers, i should i get fronts and fronts wides depending of position ? And also, i can do that for all speakers. For example, instead of 4 heights, i could get 8 channels of heights and also surrounds and surrounds wides ? Thanks

[@tacticalAV]

MIchael Wiggler ya you could technically connect 4 active speakers to the height pre out on the receiver and have 8 height channels or any other speakers but it will not be discrete surround info. You can do that for any speakers as long as your receiver has the pre out section for those channels. I use the front wide channels for music but you can run any power amp or active speakers as front wides and it is the sound in between the front l and r speakers and the surround speakers, so in the middle. You just have to set the receiver to have the wide channels active

[@gaagail]

I do not know if you hold a lot of speakers did you get the real sound no distortion.... And what do you think about klipsch r 7ii ..

[@tacticalAV]

sorry about the late response, but those are great speakers, anything klipsch makes uses that horn tweeter, and it usually sounds better in the highs than other speakers costing twice as much.... the r7iis are probably one of the better ones they make.

Good videos and nice equipment. I have a question for you. I have just purchased the exact emotiva that you have "not hooked up yet" I also purchased the marantz 7011 a while ago. My front towers are Klipsch RP 280fa. Which are bi amped to my receiver. My question is how you have your front L,R towers hooked up from your 7010 to your emotiva to your towers?

[@tacticalAV]

Well this is the fun part of the hooking it up process. What the marantz sr7011 allows you to do is hook up any 2 rca cables to the PRE OUT section on the back. What I have done is hooked the Emotiva a300 to the front L and R section of the PRE OUTs then to the input of Emotiva. remember to take out your front Left and Right speaker cables from the Marantz also, those are going from the Emotiva from now on. The best thing about the Marantz sr7011 is you can take any speakers and connect it to the Emotiva. It has the front LR also the Center, Surrounds, Surround Backs also Height 1 and Height 2. Plus the Zone 2 and 3 pre outs also. So virtually you could hook at least 6 to 7 different power amps to that receiver. I should do a video on how to exactly hook up a power amp.

[@QUIX4U]

Why stay with a 7.1 and just add two to the mains and tweeters - with an additional two high frequency speakers? Why not redesign it as a 7.7 that you can boost into a 9.9 (or beyond) ? I did a wee "test" a few years ago - (OMG over ten yrs - by looking back now) - which utilized a small "function" of a true analogue multiple channel deplexer-decoder unit. Not wanting to limit myself to the original 6 or 7 channels I had in 1965 - i wanted to see how many channels I could dig "out' of it - by the addition of a lot more circuits, fed from the original 2ch amp - with all additional circuits driving their own speakers. - so ended up driving a 25.7 ch system (with a +1super-sub-reverber) via 64 speaker cabinets within which I had 88 speakers individually connected with, or through - to well - get more than any POINT-1 system could ever deliver It's on a 25.7+1 video here inside KZbin although sadly - at the time my old Nokia 6120 Cellphone's MONO video recorder function - & thus only recorded the result in mono - (which is why I used so many different coloured lights hard wired across some of the speakers, to act as visual cue VU meters). I'll let you all "search" my video's here for that one - via a search-videos "key-word, of: 10ch That way - you'll need to look for it amongst the other 10 channel audio videos - that I have also made - (both audible and silent ones - yep silent using mere lights as VU indicators, instead of feeding audible speaker "voice coils"). Or - just search for: Dreamscape 009 (25.7ch+64speakers) 01072011.mp4 Oops U caught me PLAYING again 8p5+10ch with 2SUBS That's all I could title it as?

I will buy the receiver next month, which is a Yamaha Aventage 9.2 (with 11.2 pre-outs). I'm kind of curious if I don't use all 9 channels from my receiver, will that amount to increase power distribution for the active channels? Like if I use external amps for 5 channels, leaving 6 channels for the receiver to power, will the 6 channels receive a power boost from the 3 unused channels in my receiver?

[@fungaming4k]

simple answer - yes - the fewer channels u use from the receiver - more u will get from it - so adding an amp is always a good thing when u are setting up a home theater setup. don't forget to check ohm rating for each speaker and make sure to buy good speaker wire- look for High Strand Count 12 AWG Pure Copper - www.amazon.com/dp/B075ZHBWH8/?coliid=I3FYDP9OQXZL9N&colid=11KP4HOD3PU0S&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Hi! I am more or less in the same situation as yours. Currently using a Marantz 7013 with B&W 603 Floor standers and B&W HTM6 Center along with some old Yamaha bookshelf speakers as surrounds and front atmos. While this combination sounds great but I always feel that there is less headroom and I really have to crank up the volume way higher (at least -18db to -10db) to make my speakers produce the power I like. And I am thinking of adding a Power Amp to drive my front three B&W speakers. The models I have shortlisted are: 1) Emotova XPA-3 Gen 3 --three channel amp OR 2) Yamaha MX-A5200 with bridge connection for the front two and bi-amping the center. But reading your experience, now I am re-thinking whether this power amp investment will be justifies if I do not hear the difference. Will wait for your thoughts, suggestions. Cheers, Partha

[@QUIX4U]

@@aboltabol73 & @Nathan Starcher Try a frequency splitter, and that will allow you to "boost" the lower frequencies on their own - to just overpower the lower frequencies - also you'll possibly be needing to completely remove the mid ranges from the subs, and only allow the tweeters to get about half the incoming signal strength - and that should beef up your subwoofer outputs. It won't fix your "simulated" surround system - but you will hear more sub frequencies, when you overwork your subs. Or - rework the way the (original analogue) signal circuits that are fed into the master amp - as I fully suspect you are ONLY powering the frontal channels - which (by virtual creative "digitalized" surround amp systems) default to only powering the frontal channels into the rears at a "delayed" time-shift - (thereby "boosting" the time delayed fronts when they "arrive" at the digital simulated SWEET SPOT, where all "frontal stereo" signals are boosted to allow a "virtual" system to appear as if coming from all around) instead of a frequency-shift or even a simple signal phase-shift - which actually provides a hell of a lot of "missing" content to be heard BEHIND and beside you - that the frontal speakers never amplify - as the simulated systems time delay most of the subs and "rear surrounds" thereby denying you any useable "headroom". All you really get is the exact same at the front - sent across the room, to "mesh' with the as loud time-shifted frontal signals played from your rear & surround speakers - to let you assume you have multiple surround, when all you have is an artificially delayed play (of the fronts), boosting their frontal outputs at your "sweet spot" listening position... The next time you go to an outdoor concert - consider this. IF you stand where your system's sweet spot occurs - do you hear the exact same sounds, if you walk anywhere else? No of course not as time-shifting DOES NOT OCCUR in any live concert. What you hear "backstage" is the rear instruments louder and mingled with the backing singers, while the lead singer and frontal guitarists, are muffled as they "face" the front of house, with their backs to you. Your system - needs to exactly replicate a live concert show - not a studio simulated sound.

[@tacticalAV]

You can't necessarily use 2 surround sound receivers, but an integrated amp and receiver or power amps, if I were you I would buy a cheap power amp and power a set of rear height speakers coming out of your receiver pre out section. If your receiver has more pre out sections on the back, then you can send those signals to any other amp and have more speakers for atmos and DTS. I would use the Emotiva to drive the height speakers then, that would be world class sound from any receiver.

That way - you won't have to worry about lots of RCA cables for audio - just lots of T&E medium voltage cables = for the mains electricity "power supply" instead. Or - drill a nice "big" hole down through your floor, and run all "speaker connect" cables underneath - and just have a neat hole under each speaker.. That way - no power cables and no audio RCA interconnects either. Oh you don't own the house - pity, you'll need to run them all - on the surface (in full view).

Hi everyone I have a question that is been killing me. I bought an onkyo 810 and it says that I can either use 7.1 or 5.1.2 my question is, if the amp has preouts in the back, can I use pre outs for the height 2 channels in another amp and use all 9 speakers at same time? I mean the 7.1 plus the 2 heights working together for atmos at same time? Thank you in advance!

[@beshte]

good question but you would need to provide a bit more detail. Are your pre outs labelled for height channels or can they be configured? Some amps only allow certain channels through pre out. Which amp do you have?

[@tacticalAV]

You should be able to do that from the onkyo, if it supports 9 channel or 11 channel processing, then it should allow you to listen to all 9 speakers at the same time. Unless there is no rear height pre out on the back of it then you cant send a rear height signal to a power amp. But if it supports 5.1.2 then you can just have the front heights connected to the receiver instead of a 7.1 layout. So instead of surround backs channels you would use the front height channels.

That's not as powerful as you believe because that wasn't even close to 1/10th excursion. That's nothing new. All you have to do is reverse the polarity on your speakers and the speakers will have way more excursion than yours did with that Emotiva amp.

6:08 (ish) - you talk of an 18 ch system - in another room which -0 by the way you talked of ":adding" 7.2 using a simple 7.2 receiver - tells me that most if not all those 18 channels arte actually duplicates of a 9 ch system (meaning you have NOT got an 18 system at all, just a duplicated 9 .. using two speakers per channel.? BUT - telling anyone via a home made video uploaded onto KZbin, PLEASE.. Please make sure that the very least you do (after you buy a decent stereo video recorder) - is this. MAKE SURE your own educational video AUDIO - doesn't wow & flutter, from Left to Right & sometimes go completely berserk on pure MONO in say the RHJ speaker.. As that just tells me that when you "edited" your video BEFORE you published it here on KZbin, - you forgot to ensure the audio playing your voice - isn't as crappy as the cheapskate recorder you used - which begs the question - if you couldn't afford a newer video recorder with "balanced" dialogue for speaking - how do ytou expect us to believe any of this AV & TV set up - is "full surround" - via our own PC's two channle headphone outputs?

18.2 😂 😂

[@josefermalino461]

Organize ur wires

[@charlesm.9858]

You know.. we can’t hear the video you showing right....we can’t hear the FX you hear lol

[@darshanmodi2957]

I will suggest go with soundbar because sound clearity well and not to much vire in home it was not looking well but you have big hall so buy home theater other wise in technology soundbar is cool

[@peterwood2633]

Darshan modi yes you are right soundbars are superior to separate hi-fi grade speakers with a high end AVR and outboard amplification. Thanks for pointing that out I'll trash my Dali Ikons and two subwoofers now phew...

[@richardcoles2432]

The female lol that made me laugh.

[@themafia3119]

18.2????? How? Your processor isnt capable of that? You mean you're just connecting extra speakers to a still 7.4.2 configuration?!

[@daveclark2507]

I have two Yamaha RTS V863 along with an older Yamaha V2400 still yet five Marantz A5 mono blocks with a Cambridge DAC and 2 channel amp to match. Im confused where to start. Should I BI amp and BI wire my Polk Rtia9's with the Yamaha's or the Marantz 5a's? I have two sets of Rtia7's (4) ONE CS6 and a pair if CSI5's 2 sets of Rtia1's. (4) and a pair of Rtia 3's.. in back f/x3's and f/x4's. I have other speakers in the Polk line but some will go on the market. My Yamaha 1700 DVD. has pre outs and the DAC has balanced outputs. I have been building systems for most my life but never BI wire and or amping with 7.2 AVR gear. I'm really interested in your thoughts on what my approach should be for power quality and individual control. cheers! Subscription in!

[@daveclark2507]

No he's using several amps.

[@daveclark2507]

I stood in your corner before but if you are shooting a vid about adding external amp stick to that and only that. This is your autobiography and it doesn't flow and it's very egotistical. Just shoot the vid with a 7.2 with another 7.2.
