First of all love that house! Thanks for taking us viewers to see another awesome theater. Love that gear rack. Great looking theater space, love the choice of front speakers. That is a place that I would like to watch a movie!
Since Eva Automation acquired B&W, it has been a rocky road for the company and yesterday their CEO & CFO resigned and the company will be restructred or sold out again. Too many good A/V brands are either foreclosing, being bought or outsourcing manufacturing to China. The Klipsch made in USA and the ones made in China are worlds apart in manufacturing and sound, hold on to your good equipment, its a good thing that speakers don't get obsolete.
@@dariod2666 Check out the Garage Sale sites on Community.Klipsch or Forum.PolkAudio there are a lot of high end speaker deals to be found. People upgrading or even downsizing. For new speakers I am a big Polk fan and there a lot of Klipsch fans. Check out SVS for subs.
This is definitely planned in the future, but needing a break after this almost 2 year process. For now, enjoying the setup and focusing on some other things.
Pretty sweet ht and office for sure. Wouldn't mind that 1 bit. Looks amazing. With different lcr from the surrounds and atmos is timbre matching an issue?
I'm curious on the timbre matching as well, but personally I have not noticed any distractions between the two while watching movies. Music listening is done via 2 channel so no issue there. Debated going all B&W but chose to focus speaker budget to upgrading the center to the 800 series. I struggled to justify the cost of the matching B&W surrounds since I already had 4 of the Episode surrounds from my previous front 3 setup. Next focus is room treatment but maybe somewhere way down the line I might update the surrounds when B&W closes out the series.
@@pike8280 cool, I'm thinking maybe since you kept the effects speakers all the same it might b a close enough match as those speakers are pretty good. Definitely think getting the matching center to the fronts was the smartest move. I think you definitely would've noticed a timbre issue in the lcr had you skimped on the most important speaker the center. Awesome setup, I'm not sure I'd be able to get snyvwork done in the office though with that ht tempting me😎💯💯💯
@@pike8280 so you are homeowner? I love your space. Timbre matching is really important across the front soundstage LCR and to a lesser degrees the surrounds and rear surrounds. The vertical/height speakers don't really need to timbre matched. Thanks for allowing Zach into your home and letting him share with his subscribers. Love that projector. It will be my next projector.
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 Yes I am. Very happy with the setup and how everything sounds. Still have more things to do in the future as well. That projector is shocking how good it is. First projector I've ever owned and finally see the excitement over it versus a really large tv.
@@pike8973 You picked an amazing projector as your first. That dynamic tone mapping firmware update that JVC did last October really improved HDR performance. It throws an amazing image.
It’s not that naive 4K is beyond budget. However, I’d like one as a tv replacement. That means laser (?) and the prices spiral. Gotta be good for gaming too...it’s a tough list. Love that guys set up!
Why is he using the center channel from the diamond series when the LR are from the 700 series? Is that advisable? Its usually not recommended. I think the motivation was just the asthetics on the tweeter?
I do not understand why people don’t spend money on gears that drive speakers…. These speakers need power and by just using standard receivers to drive them with no powerful amplifier is wasting money….
With the front 3 being a mix of 702 towers and 800 center, it is running off a D-Sonic amp at 400 per channel. Made a huge difference and frees up the AVR to handle the 8 surrounds.
Real cool HT. I have an unfinished attic and I'll end up with slanted walls also. I'm planning to go 6 feet before the roof pitch starts so I should be able to put my side surrounds on the flat vertical walls. What are the demensions of this room?
@@pike8280 Really appreciate the response. My rough measurements tell me if I do 6 foot walls, I can do a 15 x 21 room. This video helps me visualize how my room (if I ever get it built😖) might look. I'm thinking bookshelf's for side and rear surrounds but in wall might be the safer option for the speakers and for me and my clumsey guests. If I go with taller walls, I'll give up too much width and I don't want to do that. Compromises...😥
@@OriginalOldSkoolFunk No worries. Thankfully for the most part the AV community is a great on to get support from and Zach has been really easy to work with and get anything I need from. As much as everyone dreams of the perfect home theater room, unfortunately the name of the game is compromise and do the best with what you are given and the best for you. Are there things I'd change if I had a do over or other things not to be concerned with? Of course, but end of the day I am very happy with where my system is currently at. There are always more things to do in future, but sometimes it is nice to take a break and just enjoy the setup; after all this is suppose to be fun. Goodluck with your planning and future room.
Most jobs we film arent 100% complete. People add to the system over the years and in this persons case they are adding sound Tx soon. Just because its On youtube does not mean the job is finished.
Custom built. Was previously my living room table and cut off the legs when I needed something for the center as still delaying paying what B&W wants for their stand for that center.
These are not cheap speakers, how do they sound compared with other expensive brands? And why did they design it to look like there's a mic on top of the speakers LOL
@@davidwiese508 A mix of both. 4k discs mainly for movies but still plenty of streaming and college football. Originally had gaming consoles on it too but made me feel sick within 10-20 mins so moved that to the back of the room setup.
@@pike8973 did you feel sick because you were too close for that type of content on a 16:9 screen that big? I will be 11ft away so I am deciding between 120" and 133".
@@davidwiese508 Just due to the fast moving images and the way games played. Haven't ever felt that way from any tv or movies, just had the issue with video games.
@@Dreamediaav it's a medium rectangle. Which is ok and can work just fine. Slanted cellings on one side is just 🤦♂️ not going to be the best for sound reverberation or proper wave guiding
Spend all that money on diamond speakers, Stuart screen,and JVC projector and 0 acoustic treatments in the room. I hope that is next on this customers list because you can hear the slap eco on TH-cam
It is on the list. Just been a 2 year process (building the house and this room setup) and a lot of new equipment/changes already so taking a little break to enjoy the system and other life surprises. When I get to it, I want to make sure it is done right, not over correct/deaden the room and doesn't look ridiculous. I'm assuming lots of challenges/research ahead due to room side, being over the garage, wall pitches, wood floors and 3 large windows at the back of the room. I do have a sound insulating rug pad under that front rug which helped a lot as a quick start.
how the hell can this be a great setup......just look at the speakers placement....screen is not in centered position with all speakers left atmos and surround speakers are way wide than right side ones.....bad setup
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 mind ur own business......i have got an atmos setup too......i dnt showoff like u peoples....just shared my thoughts regarding this particular setup thats it.....u r no one to point finger on me. :)

Wow! that sounds amazing!!!
Dude you are a bad ass. Love the energy! I just subscribed.
We appreciate the kind words and thanks for the support Salvatore! We will keep bringing the energy! 💪😁
Include demos in more of your videos.
This guy should have bought 2 subs. 2 is always better...reduces the nuls.
Have been thinking of replacing my open server rack and you had to go and show one.
Thanks Zach. Love the intro. Made my day. I was waiting for your " I love a big rack comment. Who doesn't?" LOL.
That centre speaker 😮😮😮
These equipments must cost a lot, congratulations, nice work again.
The only thing I don't like in the space is the carpet, hahaha.
The center channel alone is $6k. I’m over here thinking my $300 Martin Logan center channel is badass until I see this...
Thanks for spelling out “yeehaw” for a Yankee like me! The content on your channel is top notch and makes me drool. Keep up the great work!
Glad to see something besides Klipsch, looks awesome...thanks
Lots of room effects echo reverb etc. Guide your customers to GIK or similar quality room treatments. Make partners with them 👍
This is definitely planned in the future, but needing a break after this almost 2 year process. For now, enjoying the setup and focusing on some other things.

Question. Is the echo in the room an issue for sound?
Why is he using the center channel from the diamond series when the LR are from the 700 series? Is that advisable? Its usually not recommended. I think the motivation was just the asthetics on the tweeter?
B&w or Klipsch? Which 1 should I buy?
What an amazing sound!
Acoustic treatments needed. Looks good though
There had to be a way to get the surrounds down at ear level. Nice setup!
"Out here in the CAWN-TREEEEE" 😂😂😂
yeeeee hawwww
I do not understand why people don’t spend money on gears that drive speakers…. These speakers need power and by just using standard receivers to drive them with no powerful amplifier is wasting money….
🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
What power amp do y’all recommend for some BW towers and center
For a 3.1 assuming its the bowers 600 series. The Yamaha 780 would be a good choice. Or the denon 2600.
Michael Wilburn marantz sr 7015 is good choice ?
With the front 3 being a mix of 702 towers and 800 center, it is running off a D-Sonic amp at 400 per channel. Made a huge difference and frees up the AVR to handle the 8 surrounds.
Why MARANTZ for home theater ?
YAMAHA IS THE BETTER NO? More dynamic with Bw ?
Mix of home theater and 2 channel audio for music. Music is played 5-8 hrs a day versus movies 1-2 times a week.
Real cool HT. I have an unfinished attic and I'll end up with slanted walls also. I'm planning to go 6 feet before the roof pitch starts so I should be able to put my side surrounds on the flat vertical walls. What are the demensions of this room?

How is this setup compared with the Klipsch?
Those racks cost as much as those receivers NO THANKS ILL BUILD MY OWN
& buy the electronics separately
Pretty hollow sound with echos, where is the acoustic damping / treatment guys? It's not only about installing expensive hardware...
Most jobs we film arent 100% complete. People add to the system over the years and in this persons case they are adding sound Tx soon. Just because its On youtube does not mean the job is finished.
Wow
Hall of church
Akustik
Is that a custom stand the center channel is on? If not what brand is the stand as it looks like the perfect stand height for my LG HU85LA ?
Custom built. Was previously my living room table and cut off the legs when I needed something for the center as still delaying paying what B&W wants for their stand for that center.
cant beat abit of B&W
I couldn't get any work done if my office was in there. 👀👀👀
haha me neither... the center speaker alone is $6,000 nuts!
What was the dimension of the room?
Whole room is 16’ 10” wide x 24’ 10” long with 9’ ceilings but walls go up 5’ 3” then slope quickly.
These are not cheap speakers, how do they sound compared with other expensive brands? And why did they design it to look like there's a mic on top of the speakers LOL
I’ve got 5.1 surround sound but the problem is when I watch a movie the background sound loud and the voice is low why is that.
UKVATO increase the volume of the centre channel and reduce the volume of the others
Do you have room correction software in your receiver? The settings are not correct.
Do you know the size of the wall where the screen is at? How close is the projector to the wall?
9'6" to where ceiling begins to slope and 12' 6" from end to wall with 9' ceilings but bottom of the slope is 5'3". Projector is about 13' back.
Thank you for the reply Derek, killer setup
I wouldnt have guessed ur were texan hhmm go figure yee hawww
Круто, я тоже так хочу
Sorry. but this is not a professional system installation from the seller.
