I don’t know why this show is so good, but it is. Keep up the great work!

[@Youthman]

for the kind words I believe it’s because we are focused on serving the Home Theater community.

[@pkhammu2005]

Thx youthman for answering my question on projectors in the end. I posted my Q at abt 2hrs but u still answered it after 3hrs. Really appreciate how u guys r going thru everything in the chat. The questions may be simple but wd be gamechangers for the end users based on ur real life experiences. Gr8 going guys. Pls make sureJonathan is ther every week

[@Youthman]

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to answer all questions, but we do our best to answer as many questions as we can. If there is something you need answered, Super Chats always get pushed to the front of the line.

Hi everyone 👋👋👋👋👋

[@Espiritiv]

Thanks Johnathan about your recent reviews on AVS forum between Epson LS12000 and JVC NZ7! This convinced me to buy a the $4000 Epson over the $11,000 JVC for in many cases overall BETTER or equal picture quality

[@MAURTICE913]

Thank you Jonathan for the best subwoofers diagram explanation I have ever heard on YT. 😊

He always brings it. Have you got a timestamp for that?

Hey What's A Great Choice Far As Power Amplifier To Go With Your Avr Receivers????

[@willrobertson6434]

My denon is 2500 I've been happy with it until I now need a power amplifier for my front speakers but it doesn't have pre outs so what do you think about russound adapters

[@ryankramer]

13:15 I had to dig for a new sump pit. I jackhammered out a space in the back of the room as well. I put in an oversized sewage basin (bigger than a normal sump pump basin) I had to dig six feel down past the concrete.

[@ss4717]

Anyone is the k system?

[@jeffjefferson7384]

This podcast gets 10/10 for Dynamicness.

Appreciate the love!

[@thereviewer583]

Wow, is a best starter home theater kit for my room. Interested in installing a dolby atmos as well, great thanks!!!

[@gregworrel2623]

Neither push pull nor dual opposed subs are out of phase. To be out of phase, one driver cone would have to moving in when the other driver cone is moving out. The direction the drivers are facing is not what determines phase, it's the wiring. Out of phase drivers would significantly reduce the bass output as the waves would partially cancel out when they meet. Both push pull and dual opposed sub designs are used for force cancellation and reduced distortion. The push-pull sub cancels out non-linear motions from the front versus the back of the driver. Dual opposed cancels out the force on the cabinet from the movement of the 2 cones. Neither is going to have an effect on room modes. Alternatively, in an open baffle speaker, where both the front and back of the cone are open to the room, the front wave is out of phase with the back wave because the front of the driver is moving out while the back is moving in. The size and width of the open baffle determine the frequency at which the two waves meet and cancel. When the two waves meet, there is a cancellation, producing a null that does have an effect on room modes. Siegfried Linkwitz was a big proponent of open baffle bass as a more natural sounding bass, but even he recommended a sealed sub for use below 50Hz because the cancellation effect is pronounced at very low frequencies.

[@speedygonzales343]

as nearfield subs what is the ideal sub ? even strenght with the front subs or stronger or weaker i have sb 2000pros in the front ? in my mind the sb 1000 pros are good for that or thinking i wrong ?

[@jvonengeln]

So long as a SB1000pro won't limit your overall SPL levels you expect in your room? That's a question you can answer better than us. I use the same exact subwoofer for nearfield and run them with the same shelf filter (lifts the bottom end), I also run my nearfield subs about 1dB less than the front subs and that does enough to keep the "sound" coming from the front ofthe room. You can figure the rear subs probably have about 3-4 dB less playback demand than the front subs in my arrangement. (with 10-12' distance between them).

[@speedygonzales343]

@@jvonengeln thank you, my front is 9-10 feet away and the nearfield subs would be 2-3 feet behind me and my couch. i would use 2 subs behind me for a better feeling sound wise then a single sub. and the front have either 2 i think its a better mix then 3front 1 behind me.

[@demwillams8898]

I really gotta hit the next one of these and get some questions answered

Every Sunday at 8pm ET. We typically go for 1-3hrs

[@glynmatthews678]

Hi Guys - A daft question but does a full home theatre set up require burn in time ? I know with high end Audio they do suggest the amps /speakers take many hours to fully burn in. My Naim / Focal system definately opened up after running it for some time. Should you leave a cinema running for hours to open the system up from new ? I am having a full system installed from new

[@Youthman]

Great question. No, simply turn it on and enjoy it. If there is a break in period (which I not subscribe to), it’s definitely not tens or even hundreds of hours before they do.

[@jvonengeln]

I suggest that the break in period is nothing more than you getting used to the sound of the new system/speakers. Mechanically there is very little difference that happens outside of just a very short time of using a driver. The suspension does soften/losen every so little, but it doesn't take anywhere near hundreds of hours to do so.

[@bingdong8571]

Hey guys, thanks for the chat, hey, I'm trying to put together a stereo integrity hs24 package and I'm curious about amplification. I believe I'll go sealed, I bought an nx6000d but it was said it won't be powerful enough. I also have two crown xls 2100 amps. I'm wondering if you think I should buy another nx6000d and get a dual 4ohm sub. I could Also do the same withe the crowns. Other option is to attempt to find a way to purchase a sinbosen amp. And finally I could spend a ton on speaker power amp but is it worth it vs the others? Thanks guys

[@jvonengeln]

Crowns with DSP have a HPF filter that can't be defeated at 20Hz. I wouldn't recommend a Crown (with DSP) for the 24" subwoofer sealed. In this case you might be better of pony'ing up for a SpeakerPower AMP, or looking for an old Iron CV5000 or XLS5000 amp on the used market. You can also look at the new CVR amps that are gaining traction over the clone and sinbosen amps. I don't know about reliability yet of the CVR, but I have some friends who bought them, so time will tell. You could also POSSIBLY find an older iNuke 12000 on the used market.

[@bingdong8571]

@@jvonengeln awesome! Thank you so much for the info. I'm a little lost with the diy sub amps. That is extremely helpful.

[@housbinpharteen7445]

can not wait to see if R_Volution comes out with a player without an internal HD , all my media is on external and so are my backups

[@robertpiil4032]

Be careful they will probably go down. I wasted a pile of money on the NAS and top streamer now nothing. 😡

[@housbinpharteen7445]

@robertpiil4032 I hear you, I am using an Oppo bluray player now to play my media via USB but it does not play 4k , nor 265 coded files .. so as long as the player works I'm OK with no cover jackets

[@John-ok8ts]

Jonathan is right. Don't run your subs hot. Use a house curve on the channels to run your bass hot.

[@jvonengeln]

Making sure we are taking the same idea - If you run a house curve, and then max out the subwoofer system; the subwoofer will (at its limits) always revert back to its native frequency response (as it is with no EQ in the box). EQ only works when the sub has headroom. When you are out of headroom the frequency response reverts to its native frequency response.

[@John-ok8ts]

@@jvonengeln Yea I agree with this but this more applies to subs with DSP. I can't quite remember why I said this but I also think we should integrate subs with all our speakers to give a relatively flat response and then change the curve on the channels so it effects both speakers and sub the same - either REQ or even just tone controls. If you just just bump up the sub gain you are also effectively changing where it crosses over which is probably not what you want.

[@emt999]

Sad I never make to these live shows since located in Finland, but I have listen every podcast so far! So has to ask my question here again! You talked about measurement mics before and measuring again today! I sold my Umik-1 when I got my Trinnov and its 3D mic.. Since that I learned that I still need that other mic too! So what was the story about this? Should I get Umik-1, Umik-2, Omnimic or was there something new coming up soon and I should wait for that?

[@Youthman]

Jonathan loves the Onnimic. They are currently unavailable because they’re coming out with a version 2. It’s more expensive, but apparently it’s much simpler to use than REW. I have used REW and UMIK-1 or UMIK-2 when I’ve taken measurements. I am not familiar with Trinnov to know if their mic will allow you to see frequency response of the channels it measures in your system.

[@emt999]

There already is version 2, so is that the one or is there third version or something else coming out soon? 🤔

[@Youthman]

Verizon 2 is the one they will be releasing. You can see it on their website but you can’t actually purchase it yet - www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-OmniMic-V2-Acoustic-Measurement-System-390-792?quantity=1. That’s why it says “Currently Unavailable”

[@jvonengeln]

@@emt999slight correction. Version 3 is supposed to be out - as of Sept. Apparently it is delayed. I've owned V1 and now V2.

[@emt999]

@@jvonengeln thank you so much, thats what I was looking for! Can you tell anything else about it? Is it going to be worth waiting? Same price class? Is there a good reason for wait that or pull the tricker with v2? Dayton did not answer to me!:)

[@Espiritiv]

ps #1, #2, AND #3 Pumpkin producers are China, India and Ukraine (slava Ukraini)....but in the USA its Illinois, California, and Indianna

[@demwillams8898]

I thought the ht system was jtr for youthman, but I see a lot of arendal in pics. Which is it? Arendal is spending serious $ on advertising and my search history isn't helping, because i see ads constantly. I have a full psa 5.3.4 system but I am super tempted to change it up (for no reason other than different). Arendal is tempting...because I can't afford perlisten and even jtr would be a huge cost increase...location advantage on my end for that tho...which I found out AFTER I bought my psa front stage a few years back (pre buy when the speakers were launched)

[@Youthman]

I’m not sure what your question has. My personal home theater as a full 7.2.4 JTR system. I have an entire Are dal 1723 system in for review that I’m making videos on. Arendal is also a Platinum Channel Sponsor. I have more videos to make on the Arendal 1723 once I get them calibrated.

[@demwillams8898]

@Youthman that answers it. I knew u went full jtr but then in some pics I kept seeing arendal speakers (various) and thought I missed where u switched. Thank you!

[@Youthman]

No sir. I’m always reviewing gear but honestly I feel JTR is my end game system for my Home Theater

[@doyouluvit]

wish there were time stamps

[@Youthman]

I wish I had someone that would offer to do them for me. 🤣 Honestly it’s not really feasible since we answered around 50 questions during the three hour podcast

[@doyouluvit]

@@Youthman oh gotcha haha! Thanks for the reply and love your channel. God bless

[@jvcalleja]

Great podcast but it defeats your podcast on why do people poo on high end brands...you all agreed as you all said nt blind testing and no one heard the difference at mwave and a good proper 5.1 will blow an atmos system done wrong with crap speakers so 5.1 is not budget it's mandatory.
