In all of the research, I've done the consensus opinion I've found when it comes to timber matching is just to make sure your L/R/C are timber matched. So I used klipsch for my lower stage and SVS prime elevation for my height speakers. I agree with getting those speakers behind your screen, you'll get a much cleaner look. I love the fit and finish of your room. Nice job!

[@alford35]

That was what I first noticed last video was the “waste” of it being wide open. What a nice space you have for it to have been like that was all I could think during the entire video. Glad you are enjoying it!

[@gameroomtheater]

Thanks, I was in denial for way too long, thinking I would suffocate in a blacked out room, far far from it! Audio is sooo much better not to mention the 'real' sensation of sitting in a theater!

[@rafitorres15]

Nice home theater, awesome set up! This is my only suggestion on your speaker setup. Isolate your center channel from your subwoofer. Either add an auralex foam below the center channel or if you can find a corner for your sub and get a stand for your center channel it will help you avoid vibrations or image distortions from the sub to the center channel.

[@gameroomtheater]

Thanks Rafael, please subscribe and see my latest video, will answer what I did for a totally invasive solution! I couldn't be happier now!😉

[@jordanfisher8384]

If your getting an acoustic screen already buy another matching tower and use it as a center. Matching LCR's will fix your center channel issue.

[@gameroomtheater]

Yes sir, mission accomplished, did a build video after this one

[@Tearial311]

The LCR are the only speakers that really need to have timbre match. So you can upgrade those without your entire system needing upgraded.. great setup by the way!

[@gameroomtheater]

Thx I now firmly believe this. Wish list is full Marties or JTR 215RTs ..budgeting at the moment 😁

[@myhometheater7029]

I have the same RTIA9 s in cherry. I just remodeled my theater and went with 3 for an LCR and it made a big difference! I’m running 3 amps bridged for 270 watts and they want more!!!! You have a great room brother! You mentioned an acoustic transparent screen and yes that’ll be awesome!

[@gameroomtheater]

Thanks man, I was really curious getting an rtia9 as a center and what that would do for sound. Glad to hear it makes a difference! Going to pick up this week

[@myhometheater7029]

TorontoR check out my channel and my last video. It has a good shot of the speakers behind the screen.

[@gameroomtheater]

Jsut beautiful, thx for sharing..I no longer have to wonder 😉

[@TheRextc]

I have the RTIA9s with the CSIA6 as well for front stage. I tried running them with the 4700h and that didnt cut it like you said. Very muddy bass and just sounded off. Running now with Emotiva and it made a huge difference in clairty! Great room!

[@gameroomtheater]

Thx! You're right..I have to do an update video, some big plans in 2022 to change out the front stage, I did add an acoustically transparent screen so since this video I swapped out the CSIA6 for another RTIA9, that upgrade alone was incredible!

[@robbieharrison9078]

SVS subwoofers are excellent! They have much lower frequency responses that subwoofers from most other manufacturers. They technically have lower frequency responses than subwoofers in movie theaters because the ones in theaters are more concerned with output to fill larger spaces.

[@gameroomtheater]

Thanks man, still pleased with them at the moment, they aren't the biggest ones but I feel since closing the room off they are doing the job, and what they can't do, the bass shakers do 🤣

[@percybedford6266]

If you go the faux wall with the acoustic transparent screen I recommend changing out your center channel for an RTiA 9 tower. Excellent room and set up.

[@gameroomtheater]

Thx just secured one! Will be completing in the next couple of weeks.

[@percybedford6266]

@@gameroomtheater sounds good. I am building a home theater as well. I went the faux wall and transparent screen route as well. I have 3 Niles Pro 2870 lcr behind the screen and 2 pairs of the Niles Pro 870fx for the side and rear surrounds. I still have more to do. I can't wait to see the new vid of your faux wall.

[@chem_e_markmark6374]

For sure do identical LCR if you go through the expense of a false wall and acoustically transparent screen. Awesome theater. I have the Polk RC-80 ceiling speakers and Svs PC -2000 subs.

[@greglarson2]

If you like the Polks I would add a 3rd RTi floor standing as the center channel behind the AT screen like you talked about. I’m guessing you could probably get a bit bigger screen at that point as well. Awesome setup!

[@gameroomtheater]

I can't believe I completely forgot about this. Negotiating to acquire one now and sourcing other things. Learning on Minimalist AT screen install on AVS at the moment..getting excited planning this! Thx again for the reminder 👍😁

[@1L3g3nd]

Just by in-wall speakers. They’ll look cleaner than the build out. I have the same surround/Atmos speakers in my build. I used the 265RT for the fronts/Center

[@gameroomtheater]

Thx..I do listen to music often, and have external apps to put to good use. Once you go externally amplified it is difficult to go the other way for the front soundstage. Will just be buying another rtia9 for a center channel this week and so the build out. Need to do the build out anyway so the front sub will be behind as well.

[@1L3g3nd]

TorontoR makes sense. I have my sub hidden in the back. I have a Klipsch R120 but considering getting the SVS PB1000. Before I go all out and spend the SVS money, do you think they’re worth it..since you have the PB2000?

[@gameroomtheater]

@@1L3g3nd absolutely worth it, however for the same money you could diy and build an 18" sub for similar money and get better gains. I don't have all the tools and just got the two pb2000s but if I did it all over again I would have gone that route.

[@nicholasgreen9603]

Love the way that front wall turned out after painting it. After seeing it up close, I’m all for getting those speakers behind the screen! I know those towers aren’t cheap but have you thought about getting a third RTi A9 to have a fully balanced front stage? I say if you’re going to have a contractor come out and build a false wall, that’s what you should do. Just a thought. Again, love the setup and can’t wait to get mine on that level!

[@gameroomtheater]

Thanks, I have, another person in the comments suggested and, and don't know why I hadn't considered it. I am currently trying to work a deal to secure one. Once I buy that, it will be a catalyst to plan out the AT screen build out. I'm getting excited about this big time now :)

[@iqmusiclife]

The best home theatre I’ve ever seen! Dope

[@tee_tow]

The krix MX-30 infinite baffle wall will be perfect behind the screen! I've heard it in person and it's simply amazing and all hidden but it needs to be custom fitted. I also love the shield tv pros, they're little beasts and very versatile! Crazy setup dude and enjoy the fruits of your labor 👌

[@cinedram6640]

Good idea to put your speakers behind the screen. But if you’re not satisfied with your center, why not replace it by the same model as your left/right? You would have the best soundstage with 3 identical fronts... Nice theater though! I like the movie posters!

[@gameroomtheater]

Thx, please sub and see a newer video in what I ended up doing 😁

[@bhrugutrivedi34]

In whole room i liked the digital posters the most ❤️❤️❤️

[@clanholdcinema846]

That's a great looking theater. Making a baffle wall to put our speakers behind isn't difficult at all, especially if you already closed out the side wall yourself. IT makes a world of difference to! Grab your wife a heated blanket for the theater. She'll thank you later. Look into using WS2812 LED light strips under your seats with a controller so you can sett he colour and brightness. Put a black light blocking panel "in front" of the strip so the light will only light up the floor directly below it. That's all you need. If you ever make it out West again stop by and check out Clanhold Cinema!

[@gameroomtheater]

thank you so much, beautiful theater yourself, very inspiring. Currently securing all the odds and ends to get the build out for now. Great idea on the under seat lighting control, will be looking into that. Likewise, if you're ever out east, more than welcome :)

[@blakimus13]

This is an amazing setup! I am not a big fan of the look of acoustic panels. Has applying felt to the walls and using soundproof insulation in your walls helped with the echo/reverb in the room? Thanks!

[@jstones9872]

great job, i would suggest upgrading audio equipment to McIntosh or at least Anthem

Thanks Laurie, my plan is to get the Anthem avm70 now they bugs are worked out via firmware. Had it on order but cancelled it last year. Also I'm content with 2 Emotiva XPA5s so the budget is actually now for JTR 212RT for the front stage and a couple of Captivator subs from them as well.

[@jstones9872]

thats great. i have a avm70 on order too to replace my very old McIntosh mx130. Going to use the avm60 while we wait for the 70. So right with you on that. Also just replaced our 85 inch screen and sony projector with the oled sony xr83a90j master series.

[@sergiobarrena6626]

hello first off..amazing set up you have there. I was looking at your HT videos. I noticed on this one towards, the very end, you mentioned the "felt" on the walls. That is what i wanted to ask about: what color "black" paint did you use for the room,borders, etc and what felt did you use and how did you attach it onto the wall? is it coverin the entire room (minus the new section you mentioned is alrwady soundproof)..do you have acoustic panels on there too? also, how are you able to run a 7.2.4 speaker system with that reciever Denon x4300..that is only a 9.2 channel reciever.... looking forward to more vids. thanks in advance....

[@gameroomtheater]

Thanks! I used matt paint to minimize shine and it was flat black. Ceiling is a slight gray but appears almaot black as well. The black felt on the other side of the room and is attached via a staple gun. The staples are almost invisible and worked well. I could use some acoustic panels in one spot but the room measures well as it is. Also I use the Denon 4300 as a preamp. I have 2 Emotiva XPA5 amps. I specifically bought the 4300 was it can output 11 discrete channels via the preamp section, although only 9 can be powered.

[@sergiobarrena6626]

@@gameroomtheater hello. thank you for the reply. one quick question: how do you hook up / connect the external amp to reciever to get the atmos overhead spekers connected? which outputs did you use? can this be done with any 9.2 ch reciever that has zone outputs? thank you

[@TM-td1zh]

You should look at getting a separate processor like an rmc-1 from emotiva or something like that because you will hear a difference in channel separation and audio quality. Also it comes with Dirac too which is better than audyssey. Nice job with your theatre though. 👍

[@gameroomtheater]

Thx. Budgeting for an Anthem AVM 60. Planned upgrade down the road. First and foremost is the AT screen. Third in line will be beefier subs.

[@ferrari360fs6]

Love your setting, it's very nice, well in the video you mention about upgrading your speaker, check out the JBL STUDIO 5 SERIES HORN SPEAKER, they perform sound really really similar to what you hear in the Cinema, if you really about to get a acoustic transparent screen, i suggest you to buy 3 identical speaker behind that,I suggest JBL STUDIO 580 for your L C R, and JBL STUDIO 530 for all of your surround, and with 3 identical speaker in fornt, you will find it is so much better with the dialogue. Hope it helps, once again love your set up, looks phenomenal!!

[@gameroomtheater]

Thank you so much Matthew, getting an AT screen I may just swap out the front stage, I know I said the blah blah about timber matching and all, but the front stage is very important to me.

for front stage they don't perform as well, vast majority of audio is coming form the front. Surrounds fine, but don't want to comprise the fronts.

[@Anders-Falt]

You have a really beautiful looking home cinema. Love your movieposters they are awesome. Do you have a 2.35:1 screen or 16:9? Really good. I have a Sony projector 295, happy with that, I live in apartment so it's was little bit harder to setup my home cinema. Happy for you.

[@gameroomtheater]

Thx! Wow the 295 is on the bucket list. Almaot pulled the trigger a few years ago in the 285. Fantastic pq! The screen is 16: 9 but may have seemef wider due to the lens distortion

[@Anders-Falt]

@@gameroomtheater nice if you in future buy a Sony, don't buy the model 285 because it doesn't support the full bandwidth 18/gbit it only has 13,5. If you want to go really hig-end, buy a JVC NX5 or NX7. They are very expensive but you have a dedicated home theater room so you will take full advantage.

[@gameroomtheater]

@@Anders-Falt Thanks, i was considering it 2 or 3 years ago, but it has long been out of production. Definitely looking at the NX7, will decide on whatever is out next year though as I am still very happy with the UHD65.

[@Anders-Falt]

@@gameroomtheater as long as you are happy that's the most important part 😊

[@Anders-Falt]

Hey a add to, if you use Instagram you can visit my home cinema channel @myhomecinema1. There you can see my setup and what I use. Thanks take care

[@dadevastator24_77]

Nice setup. Do you have dedicated 20 amp outlets for your equipment? If so how many?

[@gameroomtheater]

thx. 1 dedicated 20amp, and 2 dedicated 15 Amp outlets for the lighter stuff.

[@moflexmusicinc.6060]

Dude amazing set up

[@brnmaull]

Awsome theater man! Looking forward to more videos. Can't get enough of it

[@gameroomtheater]

thanks a lot man! 😁

[@mrchow3233]

Very nice setup!

[@rakeshprabhakar]

Nice set up. What are the room dimensions?

[@Spacemanwho1]

Really enjoyed your videos. Found your channel on the back of the poster video and stayed around for the others. Any plans to do any kind of sound dampening or absorption treatment to the walls or is that not an issue for you?

[@gameroomtheater]

Thanks ran REW with and without panels and in this room the difference was so insignificant that I didn't need to treat further.

[@macydezort]

Nice set up! However...you should do something about the center speaker on the sub. The center is your most important speaker. Keep the videos coming 👍

[@gameroomtheater]

Thx..I have it as far forward as possible and angled up. The sub needed to be in the centre of the wall. Not sure what interference or issue it may cause but I don't like the center. I made the mistake of listening to my buddies Paradigm Surdio Cc690 v5.. now that is a work of art.

[@asmaapasha80]

looks good, can't wait for the next updates!

[@anilkalavakuri2424]

Plzz make more videos on this theatre dude♥️

[@gameroomtheater]

Zaroor !😎

[@ChicagoBears1977]

This is beautiful!! Good job closing that area off. I have a question about the movie poster app. I have the Kodi synced with the app but the poster does not show up, just the time shows up. Any ideas?

[@gameroomtheater]

Movie Poster all is great for the posters it pulls, but I have Kodi version 18.2 which is not compatible with Movie Poster App (the app hasn't been updated in so long). This is why I use Frontview+ which comes on top of the poster app when something is playing in Kodi. Try it thru that!

[@ChicagoBears1977]

Thanks. I’m not familiar with frontview. Is it easy to install and navigate? I’m thinking of getting the Nvidia shield to go with my setup.

[@gameroomtheater]

@@ChicagoBears1977 yes pretty simple..I had a link in my poster setup video. It's Frontview+

[@gameroomtheater]

@@ChicagoBears1977 very easy, give it a go!. Enable to auto hide when something isn't playing so that the screen behind it is the running movie poster app. Do auto windows login, and run these apps in startup when you boot up. it is completely hands free them. I just use smart switches to turn on and off

[@i.b3456]

Do you build this yourself from scratch or with a help of a contractor?

[@gameroomtheater]

Contractor for the walls and cable pulls, everything else myself.

[@phillyfinest1979]

I don't understand why don't you use a 4k Blu Ray player for the home theater ?

[@gameroomtheater]

Much easier to rip 4k UHD to your personal servers. No need to get up and swap disks. I have several NAS servers with 30tb of space, much better as I can then play on any tv in the house. Didn't bother installing the 4k player in the theater room and it resides in the family room but not user their either.

Thank, please subscribe and watch my other video on that . I have what I used in the description of that video as well.

[@DJKiDDKlashez]

TorontoR Will do!! 👍 🙌

[@milkman100001]

looking good mate.top set up

[@gameroomtheater]

Thanks 👍

[@chevasechols6327]

I've followed you on your other videos. Which Harmony Remote is that. I was thinking about buying the Harmony Elite for my setup. Wanted confirmation first before I purchase. Also, great job on closing off that room. I'm sure it makes a Helluva difference in the sound. Again, thanks for the inspiration. I'll be looking forward to seeing the Video about the screen setup for the Movie posters. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@gameroomtheater]

Thanks brother! It is the Harmony Ultimate, had it for a few years but works like a champ. Only thing I'm missing is light buttons (I use voice to turn the lights on and off although I do have it intergrated with Harmony as well). Man, closing off made a huge difference, I still can't believe I was in denial for so long. Plus the ambiance of sitting in a closed off room feels more authentic to the movie going experience. Will do a sit down step by step guide on the posters.

[@ja809jah]

Yo bro nice set up. Did you work on this yourself or have a contractor do the work. I want to set my basement but I’m afraid that a contractor will rip me off.

[@gameroomtheater]

Thx..mostly myself although the basement itself was built by a contractor. Check out my Instagram for before and after pics. Http://instagram.com/gameroomtheater

[@ja809jah]

TorontoR thanks

[@902_Nick]

I have them towers as well , I went with the svs ultra center. It was a gamechanger

[@gameroomtheater]

Nice..will.be doing an update video soon, all 11 speakers were swapped out a couple of months ago

[@martinadamski945]

Do you have a link for those Blue tube lights used around the top of the theater?

[@aliwardlaw7672]

where did you get those illuminated movie posters?

[@gameroomtheater]

Check out the two videos I did on the digital signage and subscribe

[@kg_1720]

I love this set up 😍💯

[@Krypticid]

What are the dimensions of the theater? Our next house is going to have a basement and I want to build a home theater like this. Is this something that could be done with a spare bedroom or does the area need to be bigger?

[@gameroomtheater]

it is 13x20. You may not need two rows, but I would recommend a room at least 20' long if you want to do multiple rows, keep in mind you need space to recline all seats too so the rows can't be too close together.

[@Krypticid]

@@gameroomtheater Thank you! I'm debating on if I need two rows, as there are only three of us that will be living in the house. It would probably be convenient to have two rows, a second row wouldn't be used regularly.

[@nazmontoya]

Great looking theater room. I like the fact that you show you don't need the most expensive speakers or projector. I'm just wondering how far from your screen is the projector?

[@gameroomtheater]

@naztek thx it is about 18ft back. Very happy with the pj for sure. Now if a JVC NX7 falls in my lap I wouldn't be able to let it go 🤭

[@nazmontoya]

Understandable.

[@kovacsasa]

If you don’t mind me asking How big is the cinema room?

[@gameroomtheater]

It's 13x20 ft

[@STMENTNETWORK]

What’s the size of your room?

[@gameroomtheater]

13x20

[@djaga530]

When you change your screen get another front speaker as your centre

[@gameroomtheater]

thx, definitely the plan !

[@Muzzzzzle]

Great walkthru.....

[@DanielOchoa23]

What color are your walls in the theater room?

[@gameroomtheater]

It's actually a fabric

[@SimonMaderazo]

Dream set up, probably swap the ping pong table with a pool table 🎱 other than that perfect set up 😍

[@fhood2011]

Hell no

[@bumbash12]

How much does it cost to set up all these ?? Can you please tell

[@fitzg9404]

About how much would you say it would cost to create a mancave like that

[@musseia]

Where did you get the digital posters??

[@PagliaroMark]

Yay I just joined your channel and suggested the closing up and you did the suggestion. Glad you like it I like the relocation of the digital poster too. Check out Youthmans channel for the acoustic screen builds. Absolutely love your arcade, gameroom and theatre ok your whole basement 😀. I'm curious now on an unrelated note whats in your garage/driveway ?

[@gameroomtheater]

Thanks Mark, been on Youthman's gawking at his setup. I won't be doing the fancy woodworking that he's got. I would be following this thread actually for a minimalist approach: www.avsforum.com/forum/19-dedicated-theater-design-construction/837848-minimalist-approach-screen-wall.html

[@PagliaroMark]

@@gameroomtheater I agree no need for the wood work clutter I like the screen being the focus not the surroundings but I do like the shocks for easy access to behind.
