I had the ABSOLUTE PLEASURE to hear this setup at Michael’s yesterday. Only one word can describe it…STUNNING! The detail, clarity and immersive power that this JTR system displayed definitely left a LASTING impression on me and they WILL BE the end game for my theater as it develops over time. Thanks Michael!!!
It was my pleasure. I’m glad you enjoyed the demos. My JTR’s are certainly my end game speakers. Other gear will change over time as technology advances (projectors, processors etc).
Michael, great video! My theater was very similar to yours, I also was rolling wide dispersion for my sides. I made the decision to do a major upgrade, which included buying all new JTRs (Qty 5 Noesis 212RT for L,C,R, RS, LS | Qty 2 Noesis 110HT-SL for both RS | and a Captivator 4000ULF-LP). Your video of Tony's theater sold me on JTR (You should get commission :) ) I remember Tony saying that he wished he had room for towers for his sides. As a result I knocked out large square holes and built large speaker pockets for my JTR 212RT as a part of my theater renovation along with extending my room 3 ft to make room for a new/large transparent screen and widening it by 6 ft. I removed most of my sheetrock and insulation and installed rockwool and use fabric for my walls. Also bought a new marantz, qty 2 monolith 7x200, JVC NX-7, and a miniDSP. During my first movie I watched I had the same reaction you did, the narrow dispersion of JTRs make for an incredible experience for object oriented sounds. I live in Texas so I can relate to your attic experiences. Your channel has been an invaluable resource to help me design and build my end game theater! Big thank you for all your hard work and content! God Bless!
Thank you so much for the kind words. You have put together a phenomenal system yourself. I would love to hear it one day.
@@Youthman If you are ever passing through Central Texas I'd love to have you over, I'll even treat you to some Texas BBQ!
Thank you for the invitation. I have not been to Texas yet. Feel free to submit your home theater at www.hometheatertours.com.
@@Youthman just submitted
@@YouthmanI live in Texas too. I usually get all my items ready to put in the attic and go up and do it to it at 3-4am. That way sweat isn’t pouring into my eyeballs, burning until I wipe my face! That way it is about as cool as it gets up there…
put a big smile on my face like your videos always do. cheers my friend and thank you hope all is well with you and yours!!
Thank you Davey!
Those surrounds are a HUGE upgrade man! So cool to see all the changes you've done over the years to get an absolute killer hone theater!
Thanks man it’s certainly been a work in progress over the past 16 years. It’s amazing to see how far it has come.
Congratulations Michael. I know you are going to enjoy them. I'm very excited for you. 😊 I'm working on my upgrades myself. My LCR already upgraded and that alone made a big difference. Just so happy for you brother. God bless
Thank you Milton I appreciate you brother
Awesome!!!! Im so happy for you. Enjoy it
Thank you Pedro
Great speakers, great setup, great hometheatre, great update!
Brother that’s absolutely amazing!!!! I love the look and I know it sounds wonderful!!!! I’m definitely gotta plan a trip to come see you.
Would love to have you over for a demo Chris. You can take me for a ride in your new whip.
Hard work what we do for this hobby great job I just upgraded from emotiva speakers to PSA and I also had to use toggle bolts to hang my surrounds
Nice! PSA makes great products
JTR speakers' wow man. That is awesome dude enjoy it god bless.
Working in an attic in Florida is no joke! It gets sooo hot up there. Glad you were successful installing those ceiling speakers. I bet the entire experience that you get now in your theater makes all that hard work worth it all. I'm sure it sounds incredible. Great video!!
Matt, you have to come over again and hear them. It’s incredible.
@@Youthman Don't have to tell me twice!!! Can't wait to hear them
Whooooohoo you changed something. That's been a while. Congratulations 👏😊
It has been awhile. 🤣
Grats. We all know you been drooling over full JTR system.
Was it that obvious? 🤣
AMAZING, I know it sound SICK!!! 16 years not Bad.. It took me 24 years because i was happy at each level i was at. So, all is left to do is jus keep upgrading. But one thing for sure. Their is No End to Home Theater. Remember like what u have & love it. Funny how i heard many systems that i can hear some things and not hear some things from the same movie. Even in my own house. My living room system feels way different from my Basement system. We don't listen no wear near Reference Levels. What is Loud to me might be kinda low to others. But when my neighbor across the street can hear bass. It's loud enough😂 I will one day upgrade to Atmos height speakers...👍
Hey Michael
Yes Youthman! I will be there to experience my first JTR system... Hopefully, I won't be broke after MWAVE...Lol...
I’m looking forward to meeting you in person Michael it’s going to be an awesome weekend
@@Youthman Yes sir! I can tell my wife that I finally met the guy that caused all of these subwoofers to appear in the family room...lol
you guys are always running me under the bus 🤣🤣🤣
Great video
Thank you kindly
JTRs gives it such a professional look 🔊 😍 👍🏻
Thank you so much, Daniel
@@Youthman did I hear right in your video about JTR has moved from Wisconsin ? 🤔 Where are they now Michael ?
That is correct. Jeff moved to South Carolina.
Congrats on the huge speaker upgrade Michael! Not only audio wise, but also when it comes to the aesthetics... The JTR's look great in your room!
Thank you.
@@Youthman hey youthman what speaker is brand is better i think Klipsch cause i am a beginner and gonna use an avr i heard Klipsch uses lot less power
Klipsch and JTR both make high sensitivity speakers which means they do not require tons of power. Klipsch is a LOT more affordable.
Love how happy you look. Congrats on the upgrade!
Thanks brother I get excited about home theater, but my true joy comes from my faith.
14:10 love seeing the pre-work before going into the attic. Always work smarter not harder. You certainly did. The speakers look so good in your room, like they have been there for years
I had no idea I would still be up there an hour and a half even with the pre-work done. Could you imagine if I took all the tools up there and try to do everything in the attic? That would have been terrible
Congrats Michael. True end game speaker setup. I still remember your video showing the room with the outline of a tv taped on the wall. Your room sure has come a long way. Enjoy, well deserved.
Haha I keep that image to remind me that I once considered going with a 55” Tav for my theater room. 😀
I lived in Phoenix and had to do similar work in the attic. It was summer. We started at 6:00am and worked 3-4 hours a day. Took three days and before entering the attic we would guzzle a bottle of water at night and another first thing in the morning. We put on Tyvek suits, climbed the ladder and brought up tools and lights and completed the job. It’s rough working in those conditions. The temperature started at 90 degrees and soared to 160 degrees by noon. I won’t do that again.
Michael, your enthusiasm just rocks!
Thank you Steve. I’m just a big kid that refuses to grow up. 😀
Your neighbours must love you!!!😃
I literally spoke to one of my neighbors a few days ago while we were installing. She’s in her 60’s. I shared with her what we were doing, and reminded her that if it ever bothers her, to absolutely reach out to me, and I’ll be more than happy to turn it down. She said she rarely hears it, and even when she does, it’s not annoying she just knows it’s there.
It’s all about love and respect
You have a great room
Thank you kindly!
Happy for you Michael! 🙂
Thank you, Chris
Looks amazing Micheal! It really tied the room together along with the new treatments. Bet it sounds killer😎👌.
Thank you. It sounds amazing
@@Youthman 👌sorry Michael my phone likes to auto-correct your name to be misspelled.
Absolutely no worries Jarod. It’s interesting because in 47 years a lot of people have spelled my name that way, but I have yet to find someone that actually spells their name that way.
@@Youthman Good deal. That is interesting indeed .
Hi I'm messaging from Trinidad and Tobago I most say you have amazing home theater 👍🏾
Well I’m glad to see that big smile on your face because I know you had to deal with some challenges in your attic but I hope you have the pay off that you were looking for and I am very curious about what you used to mount the 1-10 on your ceiling because I can’t mount my speakers in the ceiling so I used some speakers mounts and I have all old school DCM speakers the original ones built in the 80s and the CX series made in 91 and Polk T15s for Atmos.
Thank you Michael it was definitely a challenge, but totally worth the effort. As stated, in the video, I added additional two by fours in between the joists. On the rear of the speakers, there are four key holes. We used 4 large screws to go into the 2x4’s and joists. Then an L bracket to lock the speaker in place.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have been telling people, for years now, that On-wall or On-Ceiling Atmos speakers aimed directly at the listening position is far superior to in-ceiling speakers which may not be exactly on axis.
Welcome to the club Yout'man!
I had my in-ceiling on axis. They have aimable midrange and tweeters. JTR is just in a whole different league. Also, having a dedicated speaker cabinet is also a plus
@@Youthman a lot of people end up off axis though. Especially if they follow the dolby guidelines to the letter and the speakers they choose dont have a steep enough angle to get them on axis. I've seen quite a few people move from in-ceiling to external speakers precisely aim and almost everyone likes it significantly better.
I would leave the in-ceiling speakers for those cases where absolutrly cannot mount a speaker on the wall or ceiling.
That's a great solution ! gj
Who doesnt love Maverick?? Michael, awesome stuff. I'm going to look into those SL's. Most of my surround speakers are mounted on my ceiling since I am in a lower level and walls cannot be use for various reasons. Def going to look at JTR in my next upgrade. Just bought the 85U7H you got and really like it! Took me a while to dial it in but looks great.
150 db in his room ?? Wow. I hit 153 in my vw golf with 2 cerwin vega stroker 15s and 3000 watts rms to each , couldent even imagine what that would take to do in a room .. impressive
WOW beautiful setup I bet you ain’t gonna leave that room anymore lol
Have my blanket and pillow in there 😂
@@Youthman I would re watch every single movie that I have wouldn't see me in two weeks 🤣🤣🤣. You gotta buy a Apple TV and get Apple Music for spatial Audio👀👀
I bought the new Apple TV but do not have Apple Music. I have Spotify Premium and Qobuz
great information!!
Thanks Ray
Wow, just wow!
It was great to hang with you guys at dinner!
Indeed!
You finally put the icing on the cake. I’m late posting but congrats!
Thanks Reggie! It was a long process but I could not be more pleased with the results.
Hottest week of the year so far...just in time for you to go up in the attic 😂 I feel your pain! FL attics are no joke.
It was worth the effort. 😀
Lolol i know the feeling on being in a hot attic! Texas summers get brutal. You end up walking like Smeagol across the attic
Haha right
Woah...... 🔥👌
I adore Your Home Theatre Youthman...... ❤
the pleasure of your upgrade was written all over your face..nice
Thanks bro
You’re right about one thing, our home setups are never finished, we get close but never there 😂
I’ve been reminded by the Mrs several times “I thought you said the last upgrade was the last one 😄”
As long as technology continues to advance, there will be upgrades.
@@Youthman 100% (and sometimes bigger subs / extra amps have to sneak their way in too 😉)
Phenomenal upgrade Youthman and give you massive credit to go into the attic to do what you needed to. At least you can say you’ve covered any cardio exercise for the next 6 months lol
For real. I’ve been above my theater room maybe 4 times running HDMI cable, installing projector (adding bracing), installing Atmos speakers and running speaker wire.
I could see you smirking from the beginning and and could see the excitement if your face! Love it!
Thank you
Your videos are very helpful and inspiring. To top it off, your enthusiasm is the icing on the cake. You got me really interested in these JTR speakers. Is it possible that you would let me listen to your speakers? I live in Orlando. I would greatly appreciate it if I could listen to them for about 15 minutes. I won't take too much of your time.
Thank you for the kind words Galen. Reach out to me on messenger. facebook.com/youthman
Man this is such an upgrade ❤❤🔥🔥. So happy for you.
Thanks brother it’s pretty incredible
awesome glad you finilly got ur upgrade ..when did you change the color of your room..?...i like the new color..
I painted it 2 years ago. Where have you been? 😀 You haven’t noticed it in the past 200 videos I’ve posted since then? 🤣 th-cam.com/video/dUE1lg9uC-g/w-d-xo.html
@@Youthman lol i know i have seen it before . in your other videos .
Nice upgrade and appreciate all the details and hard work that went into installation. May they give you years of listening pleasure!
Thanks Mark
Congrats on the speakers Youth!
Thank you kindly
Congratulations.
I'm a plumber. I use to do a lot of home re pipes in very hot attics. I've spent days in up there. It sucks. I know your pain.
I know you feel me
Those JTR (or some of the Danley GO2 range) look like they'd be quite good in a home theatre. I don't think I'd crank it so balls to the wall that I'd exceed the capacity of 8" co-axials, and they are quite compact (though not HTIB level).
Or if you live in a sound leaky apartment, binaural headphones and a Sub pac. I've always like the binaural effect. It is two channel headphones but with all the phase differences and EQ between channels that trick your brain into thinking the sound is some distance or direction away, instead of sounding right by your ears. I haven't heard any films with binaural recording though. The only thing the headphones miss is the feeling of bass on the body, which is what the tactile transducers are for.
looks like you guys really got creative! congrats buddy!!
Yes sir!
Congrats on the new system. I live in Daytona Beach so I know the 'joy' of working in the attic in the heat. One time I almost passed out and found myself stuck on some 2X4's and had to tear my pants off to get out. Once you stop sweating that's heat stroke time.
Yes, that last 15 to 20 minutes was pretty sketchy. I knew it was time to get done and get down. I just didn’t want to come down, get cooled off and have to go back up in the attic to finish.
I love your enthusiasm. You’re just like us on your community, except you’re on TH-cam. It makes you super relatable
Thank you kindly. I’m just a regular dude sharing my passion for Home Theater. 😉
@@Youthman I’m sure that all JTR is just super insanely good!
I have heard many JTR Theater. Every single one has impressed me.
Amazing upgrade! We can feel your enthusiasm and happiness 🎉 😃🙌 always loving your content, JTR also is my goal, working hard👌greetings from Colombia!
Thank you for the kind words, Jose.
@youthman ... You're going to have a load of fun with this system. Surely you're not running out of demo content 😂.
Love your setup and videos all these years … didn’t know you live in fl that’s awesome and yeah when I was running wires in the attic that was rough fl is no joke
Yes sir, born and raised in Plant City
I’ve been eye-balling these for my ATMOS speakers but I wasn’t sure if they would be overkill or not, and since I want 6 speakers, they aren’t cheap 😂
You won’t regret them.
How the heck did you find my comment from years ago. Crazy. Since svs wont update the pb16 ultras I might have to follow your lead in this.
I can search for JTR comments in my TH-cam dashboard and went to the oldest comments. 😉
@@Youthman Ha, tell Jeff I will take my commission in store credit!
Was wondering when you were going to update your surrounds. They look (and I’m sure they sound) awesome. Enjoy!
Thank you kindly Frank. I could not be more pleased with how it turned out.
Great! Congratulations! And the amazing fact is the speakers were installed by the master himself :). Enjoy the sound my friend!
Congratulations on your new JTR speakers it looks amazing, I am sure they sound great.I always like whatyou say its about the journey in building your home theater. As for me I am still at it working on my ultimate goal in creating my home theater, right now for me its the budget and space I know that one day soon it will happen. Thanks for having a great channel its informative and fun
Thank you kindly Robert. I absolutely love, encouraging and inspiring others all along their journey. Enjoy where you’re at and make changes when time, funds, and space become available.
@@Youthman you most welcome 🙏🙏❤️❤️
And thank you 🙏🙏❤️❤️
BTW I still use Dolby Pro Logic in 2023. Both surround speakers are mono. Because I love to watch 80s and 90s movies😂😂
Sighed when you didn’t go directly into your opinion but loved the back story. Keep up the great work.
What do you mean I didn’t go into my opinion?
@@Youthman directly/ straight to it. You went into it after the background.
I can look after those klipsches for you, in N.Z....!!!
Unfortunately, they were sold many months ago.
Love the tip on installing the L bracket behind the speaker! Great work! 🏆
Thank you kindly. That was Jeff’s idea.
Are any brands Atmos/height speakers a suitable replacement for a home theater or should they stay on the ceiling?
Glad to see you are enjoying the new surrounds, Lovely upgrade mate
Thanks for another outstanding experience Youthman, I've enthusiastically subscribed and followed you for many many years. Your content is second to none IMHO. I have a similar dimensioned room to yours and JTR 212 LCR + 4000s. I also have the exact Klipsch surrounds + atmos speakers you just replaced driven by a Monolith 11x. I've been contemplating your upgrade for a while now. Do you think the 100 watts you're feeding the 10" JTR surround/atmos is adequate (rated up2 750 @ 8 ohms), or should I plan for more amplification long term?
Thank you kindly. I am completely satisfied with the 11X driving my entire system. It definitely helps that both JTR and Klipsch are high sensitivity speakers. Would my speakers benefit from having more power? Probably. Would I hear a difference in a blind A/B comparison. Maybe. Maybe not.
Very nice... I'm yet to hear JTR in person, but maybe when I get to the states one day I'll get a chance. Well done mate :)
Thanks Tony course if you’re ever in Florida, do you have an open invitation to come by for a visit
@@Youthman thanks Michael :) I am waiting for the mandates to drop in USA and then I'll be planning a trip, hoping to do Georgia, Texas and Florida - I'll have to do a tour video of your room - that would be #meta
Definitely let me know when you make the trip. I've never had anyone do a Home Theater Tour of my room. It would be fun to be on the other side of the camera.
Jeff's right, Youthman's right ... urge overkill on the fastening!
Overhead, in a room with serious LF capabilities ... anchoring/fastening must be rock solid way over engineered.
It's great you address the importance.
I've got Unistrut down each side of the room, front to back.
Spanning side to side, I've got sets of Unistrut that I hang QSC yoke mounted actives.
Since it's all Unistrut, I can quickly experiment with any positioning, and yet with all the structural integrity in the world.
Of course, the Unistrut aesthetic isn't for everyone ...
It's great for cabling, festooned.
Great update.
JTR's just killin' it.
For sure. That’s awesome that you can adjust your speakers.
Nice seeing you enjoy your upgrade, so many great us made speakers available to you at decent prices, not as easy in Europe. Love your JTR setup!
I’m sure you have access to brands that we do not readily have access to
This is the best thing Ive watched today, I am SO intrigued with JTR
That is super humbling. Thank you kindly.
@@Youthman
Definitely glad that I found your channel, I really thought Ive seen the best out there...my mind is NOT easy to blow and its done! I am going to try to get to the event. Thank you for the great content and cant wait to hear what you are currently experiencing. These JTR are the REAL DEAL! And I havent even heard yet 😂
I can tell by your reaction and thats exactly what its all about, 16 years man! Thats a testament to how far we enthusiast go!
what an amazing move for you Micheal! I love using togglers to install things into sheetrock situations... they are very sturdy and easy to use. Congrats on the progression! next up trinnov??
Thank you, kindly Eric. I don’t have any plans to move to a Trinnov anytime soon I have the Anthem AVM70 in for review.
@@YouthmanI hope you get a good ARC calibration. Less is more with ARC IMO.
Appreciate the tip. I just hope it does better with base management than it did back when I reviewed the MRX 1120 it sucked the life out of the bottom end I even sent the file to anthem to tweak. It was better but still was very anemic.
@@Youthman The difference this time will be built-in time and phase alignment. The Room Gain is mid-bass 150-300 Hz. Deep Bass filter can be centered from 20-80Hz. These are filters similar to miniDSP. Tilt can be adjusted for brightness.
I stop filtering at the last peak/null beyond 3-4 db for each channel which for my room and speakers provides a more accurate sound reproduction. ARC does require a bit of adjustment to get to your destination, but all race engines must be tuned.
Sounds like they have made some nice improvements to ARC since my experience several years ago
Congrats, Michael! Love your enthusiasm. I'm still recovering from the expense and physical cost of installing my new JVC NZ8 solo (not recommended) but I will eventually need to consider replacing my surrounds as well. The things we do for our love of this hobby.
I’m jealous of your NZ8. I have been eyeing it since it first came out. My room could definitely use the additional brightness, the 120 Hz for gaming in the laser would allow the projector to remain brighter over a long period of time versus a bulb that is continually dimming.
@@Youthman Thanks. Whenever you're ready, I'd welcome you here in ATL for a tour.
Feel free to submit your home theater at www.hometheatertours.com
@@Youthman I did maybe a year ago but will do so again.
Just submitted. Hope to see you in ATL.
I'm watching this for the second time as I determine if I'm gonna get JTR speakers.
One thing you said was about having wide dispersion rears. Is that really a Dolby Digital and DTS thing? Where'd you see that info?
I thought it was just the original Dolby Surround and Pro Logic decoding that didn't want directional audio because both surround speakers shared a single channel.
I think the idea for having 2 speakers is that you could mount them easier and higher up on your wall than with a single speaker in the middle of the back of your room with a long wire going to it.
I've been looking into Dolby Pro Logic and Pro Logic II as of late for some testing vs Dolby Surround (Atmos version) upmixing.
Dolby Digital has discrete surround channels and with Surround EX, an optional matrixes 6th. That's why I was wondering why your home theater was built the way it was for Dolby Digital. I wanna know where this information exists that I'm missing 👍
Another great video! Shoutout from the Philippines!
Thanks Cholo
Super cool video, man! Loved it.
Thank you Matt
@Youthman Great video, loved the updates. Can’t believe how far your setup has come since I started following you. Gives me inspiration to want to improve mine. I must say, I have missed content of this style from you. It’s been way too long!
Thank you kindly. What “style” videos have you been missing from me?
@@Youthman Well I guess I don’t know what to call them. The type where you talk to the camera, give us updates on a project you have been working on, that kind of thing. Seems more of your video lately are just clips from your live show. (Or whatever it is.)
I received a lot of feedback regarding the podcast clips and if you have noticed, I haven’t posted any in a few weeks. I was trying to provide value for those that do not have time to watch a 3hr podcast.
@@Youthman How does one watch your full podcast anyway? I’ve only ever seen the clips.
If you go to my channel, and click on the “Live” tab. You will see a list of all of the previous podcasts.
This is absolutely amazing. I’m sure it sounds incredible.
Thank you, Victor
@@Youthman you’re very welcome. Keep up the great work.
would you add one more speaker in the middle of your surround speakers between the others? looks awesome
No, I don’t feel the need for a “voice of God” speaker
Man I wish you were my Neighbour I could imaging how good concerts would sound in there
Bet those JTRs sound amazing! That's end game stuff right there!👍🏻
Indeed!
Mega awesome speaker upgrades!! JTR’s are big dawg status for sure! Journeys jewel is a diamond that’s polished over time… Its always worth the cost. Enjoy forever 😁😁😁
I can tell by your smile and excitement it is over the top. Congrats!
What did you do with your old speakers?
Sold them locally to a friend.
nice youth man I use outdoor patio speakers for my Atmos speakers.
Next on the upgrade path:
AV Professor: Marantz AV10? Anthem AVM70/90? Trinnov Altitude 16?
Speakers: Wides?
Projector: JVC Laser?
Eventually, it will likely be a new processor. Already considering the JVC NZ8. Wides will probably not happen due to the size of my room. I have the Anthem and AVM70 in for review so I’m curious to see how it compares to my Marantz AV7706.
My first digital system was dipole and I happened to walk past a speaker during a scene and realised there was detail that was decaying by time it would reach the listening positions. Once I went direct there is no turning back. Next listening segment Hans Zimmer Pirates of the Caribbean segment. When it crescendos it just absolutely overwhelms the senses. Well done on the upgrade. Be blessed!
Oh! I definitely need to listen to that tomorrow.
I’m about to replace my JL Audio Fathom F113 (sub) and considering either JTR RS1 or SVS SB16 Ultra. I’m not sure which one I should end up buying.
Depends on your budget and needs. The SB16 is nowhere close to the performance of the RS1. JTR is in a completely different league.
May I ask what the theory is with the rear surround placement? THey seem to be outside of the seating area and I'm unsure if this is a specific choice to try and achieve a specific axial relationship to the seating.
Simple reason is they had to be mounted higher than my door. Just a limitation of my room but fortunately the angle of the speakers is perfectly aligned to the front row. The rear seats will not get the benefit of the surround back speakers
Michael, you hit a few important points at the end there. This is a hobby of "you don't know what you don't know". We can form perspective only from what we experience. So, take every opportunity to hear as many systems as you can. I've been at this about 35 years now and still learning something new from all rooms that I visit. It wasn't until recently that I had an opportunity to visit a professionally designed room that included calculated acoustic treatments (not DIY). It's hard to admit that I missed the boat on that, but I am thrilled that it gives me a longer journey! This has truly been a lifelong hobby that keeps giving.
Enjoy your setup brother! So happens that Jeff's new place is within 20 minutes of me. If you're ever up to visit with him, keep me in mind. Would enjoy having your take on my room. Tony
Thanks Tony for the invitation. I will eventually make a trip once Jeff finishes building his house and the new JTR headquarters.
Congratulations!
Holy cow at 1.5 hours in a FL attic. I'm in Central FL and have made more trips to the attic while building my theater than I'd like to and I start worrying about passing out after like 5-10 minutes.
I’ll be honest it wasn’t fun. I was doing OK up until the last probably 15 minutes. Then I legitimately started getting quite nervous and very uncomfortable in my mind.
Feel free to submit your home theater on my website at www.hometheatertours.com.
I wish they would put jtr speakers in movie theaters instead of jbl 😊
I’m down for that
