We're Sorry! It's been a while so we thought we should explain!

Welcome back! So a lot has happened. We are sorry about the silence but we have had a lot on and a lot of changes. The industry has changed we have changed. Life changes.
But Enzo is still and HTE and Andrew is now a freelance calibrator and consultant with an eye on retirement (sort of - he says he will never stop he loves this stuff) but it was all just a bit too intense
Anyhow we are a live and well. :-)

Thanks for the update guys! It's great to finally hear from you after 9 months! And Enzo, sorry about everything you've gone through, but glad that you are still with us and still have a good relationship with Andrew. As far as your comments about the HT business/industry, I can give you my perspective as a DIY guy... My dream would be to have $200k + at my disposal and hire HTE to design, build, and calibrate my dream home theater! But the reality is that I don't have those funds available, and probably never will. So what I had to do was take my very budget home theater and decide on 2-3 projects to work on per year, for upgrades and redesigns. Now almost 5 years and $26,000 later, I have a room that I'm very proud of! But I had to do literally every single thing myself, otherwise I would have had to spend twice as much, or had half the room, if I had to hire a professional company to do it. That's just the reality of it.

@@TerminatorJuice we don’t turn anyone away my friend. Even if it’s 10k or 100,000

@@TerminatorJuice thank you for your kind words also

[@TerminatorJuice]

@@HomeTheatreEngineering I know that, but my point is when people pay a professional to do a HT room, a good chunk of their $10K or $100K, is going to the bottom line of the company or person that they hire. For example, I spent $26,000 total on my room, but a professional integrator told me he would have charged $40k- to $50k for the room that I achieved...

Really gonna miss Andrew being an active, full time member of the HTE team. Your channel is such a great source of home theater information and expertise. Completely respect Andrew’s decision to focus on the truly important things (family and health). This was, clearly a difficult and emotional decision for you both. Best wishes to you both and we’ll all miss the regular KZbin video content.

[@HomeTheatreEngineering]

@@omard5019 we will continue to do some content with Andrew….when he’s available obviously :)

[@HomeTheatreEngineering]

@@omard5019 Andrew is still around though mate. I’ll do my best to keep making content

[@holodray2269]

It’s very kind of you to update everyone on KZbin but imo you don’t owe anyone anything. The fact that you took the time to let people know about your situation and get a glimpse into the challenges of life is testament to your character. Good luck with your respective endeavours!!

[@HomeTheatreEngineering]

@@holodray2269 thank you.

[@Avers7419]

Thanks for all the support over the years. Good luck to you both. I wish you all the best.

[@marybamford782]

Hey guys, great to see your happy faces back on KZbin!!! Totally agree with your family first motto and no need to apologise. Take care Enzo and Andrew and have a wonderful Christmas with your families. FYI, the theatre room is the bomb

[@Darkcorestudio]

I was only thinking about you guys last week when i thought you haven't put out anything for months so what is going on. So this video is quite a nice surprise 🤗 Anyway the most important things in life are your family and your health and if any of these things suffer you should re-evaluate things and it looks like you guys did so and took your time to make good decisions for yourselves ! i can only say if this works for you then great 💪 i love the channel and i hope we will see a some videos in the future but most of all i hope you guys take care of yourselves and your loved ones. I will keep on supporting you and all the best with your other ventures 👊

[@HomeTheatreEngineering]

@@Darkcorestudio thank you for your kind words mate.

[@9and3]

Love you guys and I’ve always appreciated your honesty and openness - that’s why I reached out to you to pimp my cinema. Health is no1 for sure so well done both of you for recognising that and acting on it, I’m sure your businesses will be blessed for taking that action. And thanks Andrew for the help Monday night - switched cables and touch wood no problem so far 🎉 🏎️🏎️ 📽️

[@HomeTheatreEngineering]

@@9and3 mate thank you so much for your kind words! You’re a gentleman. Enzo

[@paulcarroll627]

Andrew, enjoy your semi-retirement. Enzo, just get well mate. No job is worth your health. I’ve been in Texas for a Year now, moved from Canberra. Happy to calibrate just for friends and family. Merry Christmas

[@HomeTheatreEngineering]

@@paulcarroll627 hey Paul! Merry Christmas also

[@MrAtoulmin]

I was just wondering the other day what was happening. Anytime you're back in Victoria, there's always a whiskey sitting there for you 🙂

[@HomeTheatreEngineering]

@@MrAtoulmin I’ll hold you to that. Enzo

[@wyattslocum1237]

Wow guys, what happened to the home theatre rooms you guys build?

[@HomeTheatreEngineering]

@@wyattslocum1237 so our space was huge as we had other plans for the space also which we didn’t end up getting to. The lease was up and it went up… we decided to not renew. Less is more
