I had my hands in / on many CTS 600's, 1200's, 2000's, 3000's and so many other models I've lost count. Chances are pretty good you might have an amp I had a part in manufacturing personally. I am one that had a lot of pride working there, it wasn't just about another paycheck. It was a labor of love. I hope you enjoy your amps!

[@expresscruiserlife]

Very impressive my friend, amazing job. I had started a similar project at my previous home but ended up selling before completion (just prior to installing stadium seating). Really impressed and can appreciate how much effort went into engineering the system.....wow! One lesson I learned from my installation was to reduce the number of wire ties when dressing up cables....I used wire loom for the cable bundles and wire tied the sections of wire loom together which drastically reduced the number of ties needed. It made it so much easier to add, remove or replace cables. Again, amazing job...I'm extremely envious!

When I started watching this video and your incredible setup and expensive equipment I thought you were going to close out the video with some 4k JVC or Sony projector $15k plus. I was very surprised your projector is easily a 7 year old projector and still looks that good. That goes to show you that expensive 4k projectors are great but so are 1080P and sound sometimes is 60% of the movie experience. As a lot of people have commented here already, your attention to detail when it comes to managing those cables is impressive.

[@jr62inhometheater98]

That’s a great HT setup. But I have to really disagree with you on 4K content. Just about all movies are released in Dolby Atmos or DTSX sound tracks. And in UHD4K. You think your system sounds great now, just wait till you upgrade to a 7.1.4 Atmos. Talk about night and day!! Yes it’s more $$$$ but compared to what you have already invested it’s a small amount to have the best available. But as always, it’s just my opinion.

[@jr62inhometheater98]

Trial n' Error The first and best way to get it is a 4K HDR Blu-ray Player. Physical UHD4K disc will give you the best sound and picture. Since you have a projector you would also have to upgrade to a native 4K projector to play the content in your HT.Or you can go with the projectors that use pixel shifting to play 4K disc. Epson and JVC make great models that use this format.And of course with a 4K player you can always play them on your 4K tv. I myself am using a Epson Pro 4050 and a 140” 2.35:1 Cinema scope screen. With a 7.2.4 Atmos setup. It is not nearly as well put together as yours, but it looks and sounds awesome. And don’t forget you have to have either a AVR with Atmos and DTSX or a Pre/Pro with Atmos and DTSX.You can stream and get a good picture and sound but it doesn’t compare to the actual disc. The best I have seen is Vudu. But they’re are other media players that support it also

[@willyroeroe]

you can use vantablack or black 2.0 to paint the ceiling around your projector to perfectly hide it so you can watch movies without noticing it because it doesn't reflect light. but it kinda expensive so don't tell your wive that i told you about it.

[@christopherriggan9184]

[@jonathancook4022]

Tottaly different to my home cinema which isn't pernement since the same room is used for a pool/snooker table half the time. When I want the cinema on I have to setup the screen, put the table away and bring in an extra sofa. The sound is all done with proffesional PA speakers and amps that you would normally find at a small concert or DJ event. I have 6x HK RS082 tops, 8inch, 250w for the frount, side and rear fills, 1x HKRS112 for the centre speaker, 1x HK RS115sub which I recently just added a new cone/driver too and will easily hit 20hz at 85db and that is complemented by a ButtKicker audio transducer attached to one of the sofas. The amps, like yours are all in a rack with a DBX system controller. What is unlike your setup is the lack of networking, wireless devices or a media switcher. Instead it is all run of a single iMac which is above the amps and I then have a BlueTooth keyboard and mouse in the cinema (I can use the keyboard to adjust vollume and eject a disk) and then a USB 3.0 blueray drive the sits above the centre speaker. All in all its a great setup and the speakers then can be removed for work eleswhere when required. The projector however is 10 years old now and certainly needs upgrading to something that has a higher contrast ratio and 4k as apposed to 1080p which is what it currently can handle.

[@PMVault]

Is that sub placed in the right spot?

[@PMVault]

Trial N' Error That’s great, I’ve been experimenting with different subwoofer locations. So far I’ve found it really depends on the content choice, in terms of whether you want an even response or boomy/punchier bass. 🔊👍

I'll be using 2 AVS ported subs (PB1000) so I'm confused if I should box them in or not? Any thoughts?

There are some really cool ideas in this video, from the way you run your cables to the projector housing that you built. Your set up is REALLY nice. A bit much for me in some areas, but nonetheless, your system is beautifully set up.

This is impressive but it just comes down to how much money you are willing to spend. I have 2 Marantz tower speakers from the 80's, a Yamaha RX-V1050 receiver, a (shitty) Vizio TV and we stream content from an older Mac Mini. I dare anyone to come over and tell me its not a good movie experience

Use the high pass filter on the EQ instead of rolling off by using the low EQ channels.

[@LuckyNumber48]

Trial n' Error you won’t regret it. If you got everything set up and calibrated correctly, Atmos/DTS:X can really lift any movie. And it’s not just about shooting sound into the overheads, it’s about blending the sound into the room and creating something that is much more immersive than only having ear-height speakers. You really feel like you are inside a bubble of sound with Atmos. Even the sounds at ear-level in height sounds better because the sounds aren’t sendt to individual speakers but are also shared between speakers to place a specific sound more precisely, fx in between two speakers.
