Michael, you have now entered the professional realm in production value in a video presentation. This is by far the best video production I've seen in a long time and you are setting yourself up to a very high standard when it comes to producing content. This really looks and sounds like a professional tv production ! Wow, but think about what you now have done, how are going to top this presentation? Next time you have to storyboard and hire professional actors to keep this high standard in a video production. 😃😃😃 I was hooked the entire hour!!!
Wow I’m grateful. Thank you for the kind words. Ewing every video, I strive to push myself further, experiment and try new things. Initially I thought it was going to be just myself and Alex and then it turned into a huge production and undertaking but I am absolutely thrilled with how well it turned out.
I definitely agree with this. It's been amazing to watch this channel grow and evolve...and production levels in this video are on point. Everything from the lighting (aperture or godox?) To the mic quality (Whatever the choice was for lavaliere mics was spot on) to the picture quality! Primetime TV is the next stop!
LOVED this video Michael! Not only does Alex have an amazing room, but this was very educational. From thought process to finished product, I feel like almost every aspect was discussed. Keep it up bud!
DUDE!! DUDE!!!! He got all of that one and it's going back back back, it's gone. A home run of a video. Tip of the cap to you sir, the homeowner and all the special guests. With videos like this your subscriber numbers will skyrocket. I hit the like button at least a hundred times even though it only counts once. I hope that speaks for my appreciation.
Wow I really appreciate the kind words Rob. It seems that many really enjoyed the format of this video. Guess it pays to take a risk and try something different.
@Brolic Media, feel free to submit your home theater at www.hometheatertours.com. Maybe we can reach out to Triad to see if they can make it a reality.
Hey Michael thank you for another awesome video. Please thank Alex for letting us see his theater. What an awesome theater space. Alex did an awesome job as a tour guide. I love those surround speakers. Would love to take in a movie there!
Now THIS is a classy home theater setup. Purposeful. No gimmicks, I love it. The A/V presentation is the focus- no silly amusement park decor or lighting. Thumbs UP!
@@Youthman in fact, it’s got me more interested in line-array speakers. I have Martin Logan electrostats for my fronts (essentially line-arrays)- which is ideal because I have reflective concrete floors and a solid wood ceiling in my loft. There’s enough furniture to keep it from getting echoey, but smoothing out the volume for people standing near the surrounds as I play music in all-channel mode during a party, is an advantage.
Still have a perfectly working Sony DVP-S7700 player. Found it at a thift store for $10. Very cool piece of gear. Watching this channel is causing a slight home theater itch to come back. I had a 6.2 system with a Sony STR-DE1075 back from 2001 to about 2005. Then switched to a 2.2 system and have been running 2 channel ever since. I'm content with it because I don't watch to many movies these days.... so idk.
Maybe a better way to put it would be to say that it's a relatively simple matter to build a home theater that will out perform any commercial cinema. Like the Youthman said, a sound bar wouldn't cut it.
This is awesome stuff Youthman. The detail in the theater design, speakers, processors and more is definitely worth the 1hr watch. It would be awesome if you can do more of this.
the companies should pay you quite a lot of money or a lot of free equipment for this video. This don’t even looks like a “TH-cam” video, instead It looks like an infomercial ad for trinnov, wisdom audio, atmos, and Atlanta theatre. Edit: damn, Alex is so professional, he looks like a paid actor/professional interviewer! This video looks like a planned out, written skit, rehearsed like per line paid actors infomercial. Kudos Michael, this video is so professionally done! Great job!!
Youthman, you need to get a kickback from Lotto & Mega Million. This video presentation will make all your viewers to run to the nearest 7 Eleven and play the Lottery (starting with me, and I have a decent dedicated Home Theater). This system is aspirational. I venture to estimate is $200K installed.
You have really stepped up your game with this one . I do not know how you will ever top this one . May god bless and I cannot hardly wait for your next video . I continue to learn . I have started my own home theater project . But you give so many ideas that I am finding it hard to decide which way to go with the theme of the theater . I am wonting to go with a up scale family room and not a room of theater seats . Wish me luck .
Thank you for the kind words Rodney. Honestly it’s not up to me to “top this one call. I’m simply trusting the Lord to lead the way and open up opportunities like this to be able to share with my audience.
Everyone was a bit up-tight in this video almost as if it was staged, but the information was still very good regardless. I appreciate the insight and all the people that were brought in to speak.
It wasn’t staged but certainly was coordinated by me so that the video would flow from one aspect to another. Each of these gentleman are used to speaking in front of crowds (ie trade shows, trainings, demos). I didn’t feel they were uptight at all.
Great video ! Congrats to Alex on a mind blowing set up. The challenge is to now get my wife to watch this. She thinks I’m crazy for wanting to upgrade my 3 year old sr7012...
Hey Jeremy both systems are by far the best home theater tours that I have experienced. It would be difficult to compare the two because they are two completely different rooms, with two completely different components and two completely different sounding speakers. Not to mention I heard them a year apart from each other. I was absolutely impressed With Tony’s setup an absolutely impressed with Alex setup
Wow Michael best video so far by far, everything about it is so great, will done and congrats for Entering the very elite league 👏 Long time fan from Kuwait
I never comment, usually hit like and keep it moving, but I had to commend you on putting together such an awesome video. It was very informative and I gladly watched all 59mins and 41secs. Thanks again Michael!!
Michael great job on the video Alex if you're watching this you have a very nice theater room I just don't understand why people are putting it thumbs down on it it's just doesn't make no sense you actually did it right from the beginning and you gave me some good ideas for my Phase 2 setup that I'll be doing to my home theater congratulations on a very well-done theater room👌👍
Keep in mind, there are those who will thumb down a video even before the video premieres. My guess is they are unhappy with their life and choose to be negative. It’s pretty clear based on all of the comments they are in the minority.
Your channels is premium quality, the owner of this excellent home theater is a reporter or work before on CNN, this guy really dominate all the interviews like a pro ✌️
Speakers have gotten a bit better in the last 10 years but not massively better. And acoustic room treatment hasn't changed much in the last 10 years. Apart from more people now implementing diffusion along side absorption. Room correction has moved on vastly in the last decade. But probably the biggest difference in the last 10 years is people putting much more effort into making their home cinema decor look nice. Some of the home cinema's these days look absolutely stunning the decor aesthetics of the entire room. Added benefit is a lovely looking room is a room you will want to spend lots of time in. You have been growing yours for 10 years so I'm sure it's still great. No reason why you can't submit it for a room tour video.
Badass video. Really Seems your channel Is starting to hit that next level with these crazy videos you’ve Been coming out with! I really want to have a badass decent home theater one day.
Really nicely planned out, Very informative. Chuck Gerlach as well as the other guests all seem like the real deal. I was hoping Alex would give us the final tally on this amazing investment that I’m sure he and his family are able to maximize their enjoyment. Many kudos Youthman, you never fail to disappoint. 👏🏻 👏🏻
Most homeowners do not want to share on video how much they paid in fear that their spouses will see the video and find out. LOL. With all seriousness, I do not ask homeowners how much they spent as that would be similar to asking how much they make or how much they paid for their house. I feel it's a personal issue. His Wisdom speakers are around $10,000 each and his processor is $16,000 so it's definitely a high end system.
Really enjoyed this exceptional video. I've shared it with a few friends who have caught the home theater bug and recommended they subscribe to this channel so they can learn more about the hobby. Congrats on hitting it out of the park with the bases loaded. 😎
youth man is epson 6050 ub a good projecter or should i buy the jvc nx5 is it really worth it and i will be using a big screen 200 inch yard master one so is jvc worthvit or espon good
i think your channel has found its calling as you seem to be a great colaborater and host, these videos show really good new and or different designs of speakers and theaters. A lot of eye candy but more importantly a lot of really good info. Thanks
Absolutely. That’s what is behind his LCR. Also if you search for Youthman Star Wars on TH-cam, you will find two different theaters that use Wisdom LCR’s.
That is correct. Joe asked Alex about them early on in the video. They are not part of the system. Eventually they will be removed and new drywall installed in the ceiling where the old speakers were.
The home owner seems ro have a simple taste,he wants only the best. However, a high end cinema as his is not complete without d-box motion I think. You feel the movie, in a very exciting way with d-box.
D-Box is definitely a fun experience, however if not done properly can take you completely out of the movie experience. Also d-box is only effective in action movies but would not be appropriate for a drama or psychological thriller so although really fun I couldn’t see it being useful in my space.
GREAT Vid!!! Super impressed. Question on Hush box. Excuse me if it was explained in vid as I'm currently watching. The hush box blocking the sound of the fan when it kicks on but since it is in the box, will that aid in increasing the heat on the projector as well? Would this be bad for the projector and cause for it to shut off or damage?
I wish we would have shown it in the video. There’s actually an air duct with a pump that pushes cold air into the box and another air duct that sucks hot air out of the box it’s pretty remarkable
Yeah I initially wanted to include some more of his home automation but the more I thought about it it did not tie in with the story of his theater room which is why we only showed a very short clip in the living room and kitchen area
Pretty awesome system. If I had the money I'd love to do something like this. I'd be curious to see a REW sweep in there, to see what kind of curve they went for like if it more closely models Harman or something else.
@@AudioGuy321 Thanks for the reply. Interesting, definitely going to revisit using it once I get some better speakers as it sounded off with my current ones even after giving it a week or so for my ears to adjust. Nice work!
Some of your videos have me inspired. I’ve thrown together some older equipment. Found my fathers old miller and Kriesel double 12” sub to go with my Polk 12 inch sub- found an older pioneer elite DTS 7.1 receiver, clearance epson 3700 ($650) and a 20% off amazon special acoustic transparent 120” screen. Some Polk audio 265rt in walls. I’m into my system $2k and it rocks for my upfront cost.
First off, thank you for the content and it's clear you put a lot of work into this. I hope these companies paid you handsomely for their portion of the 60-minute commercial. After reading through the comments I realize I'm in the minority as most if not all loved this video. However, I prefer videos and room tours that have some personality. I was drawn to your channel because you're a fun guy to listen to and it was a refreshing change from channels like the Audioholics which just put me to sleep. I hope this comment doesn't come off as negative to anyone involved because it's not my intention. It's a beautiful room, the company that built it did a great job.
Thank you for the kind words Marc. No I don’t take offense to your comments at all. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Most tours are typically just me and the homeowner but with this collaboration, we decided to try a different format. It was a cool dynamic that I believe added a lot of value to the video as there was over a century of experience sharing their knowledge in this video.
25:50 So you took the code and you run it natively top of standard x86 Intel processor wich is running Linux (wich is free)... Why in THE Hell Altitude 48 EXT costs over $20.000?! There is no single part wich you have created in that "cinema processor"!
@@Youthman I'm also in ATL, and in a process to finish my basement Home Theather next month, and I thought I spent a lot with ~$70k, with Home Theatherworks Inc, ...Damn....probably nothing for Alex !, I need his job :-) I will probably send you my description on your Web site, to maybe see you !
I live my home theater. 25’ screen, IMAX enhanced, 8K, Auro-3D, Atmos, etc… electric seats with shakers, Zippitti Player with all my movies (over 700), and I always get the best seat in the house. Kettle Corn popcorn, drinks, hot dogs, pizza, steak, it is truly the best I have ever had it. No driving as I have to drive a minimum of 1.5 hours, worry about getting into a wreck or my truck stolen, costs of getting there and back, noisy people, people walking in front of me once I get comfortable, people playing on their phones, phones going off, people talking, drunks getting loud, having to be there when they want to start the movie, high ticket prices, over priced concessions, then having to miss part of the movie when I run out, etc… Here a IMAX showing is 20.00 a ticket so your looking at a minimum of 2 tickets so 40.00 plus tax, concessions another 30.00, driving costs and wear and tear add 96.00, plus 3 hours of driving where you can get into a wreck or hitting something.so for me it would cost approximately $166.00, and if I watch another it brings down the costs of the first but still costs more per trip.
Is he using GIK 242 (3.6" thick)or 244 panels (5.5") panels on his first reflections? It seems that his GIK Alpha panels are the same depth, but those come in 4" or 6" depth sizes. Make sense to make them look same depth for asthetics
@@Youthman can’t wait youthman! I’ve really enjoyed watching your channel evolve over the last 3 or four years I’ve been watching. You never disappoint.
WOW 👏👌👌 some absolutely incredible content and information in this video, thanks so much for sharing! Standout theater, tour and interviews all in one 🔥🔥
Dude has the exact hardware I’m getting for my rack. All ATI amps, Trinnov, UB-9000, Kaleidescape and the Zappiti with NAS. Oh and I suppose thrown in Control 4 as well. Only differences are I will be going with RBH speakers and Laser 4K projector.
@@Youthman Definitely. Made me add the finishing touches to my room and order some more acoustic treatments! Funny enough I was going with GIK before seeing this. Helped me pull the trigger.
That's an amazing theater! Yes, line arrays are perfect for home theater. CBT arrays take it a step farther but are more complex. Physically curving them makes it more difficult to integrate into the room and DSP curving them requires multiple DSP and amplifier channels for each speaker. Either way, it's pretty much limited to either DIY or even more expensive commercial than this system. As far as I know, it's not commercially available so DIY is really the only option.
@@whenwillitsnow Well basically the same unless you are talking about a continuous radiator as opposed to closely spaced individual drivers. Are you familiar with CBT lines? Unlike conventional lines, the CBT is constant beamwidth independent of frequency. The CBT achieves frequency invariant dispersion through delays that follow a circular arc, and a Legendre shading function. The dispersion can be defined in the design parameters to provide whatever coverage is desired with uniform constant directivity. Conventional lines simply can't do this but they are still generally far superior to more, "point source" type designs at least for home theater in my opinion. Edit: Btw, there is a commercial CBT product by JBL. I never gave it much thought or credit but recently someone sent measurement data that looked surprisingly good. It's really too small to behave like a CBT very low in frequency however. Despite the Wisdom being a simple straight unshaded line, I suspect it probably sounds a lot better. I haven't heard either, that's just from observation of the design and components used in each. The JBL is made for pro-audio so while, within a limited frequency range, it may have better dispersion control than the Wisdom, I doubt it holds a candle to it on overall sound quality. It would be interesting to hear both.
@@lukerestlessstudios Yes that's one of the nice things about Planars, AMT's etc, very much a pure resistive load. As for no passive crossover, I rarely use passive crossovers for anything, active is the only way to go, Ive been doing that since the mid 1980's. Back then it was analog but all DSP these days. Their line will do exactly what any straight unshaded line will do, there isn't any magic or bypassing laws of physics involved. Dispersion characteristics of line sources have been well understood and documented for many decades. Ideally a straight unshaded line should be infinite which is normally achieved by making the line floor to ceiling. In this case the listener is, in effect, always in the center regardless of vertical listening position, which eliminates vertical beaming at higher frequency. Btw, the term, "shading" simply means attenuation. Shaded lines radiate full output in the center and attenuate output toward the ends of the line based on a mathematical function called a Legendre. This alone improves the uniformity of the vertical dispersion. Increasing delay toward the ends of the line also improves vertical dispersion. Combined, these can produce a line with constant directivity in the vertical axis while maintaining the characteristic wide dispersion in the horizontal axis. There is no other known mathematical way to achieve this constant directivity from a line. The technology was developed for the US Navy, to project broadband energy within a specified beam so that this beam could be maintained independent of frequency. Conventional radiators radiate increasingly wide dispersion at lower frequency and increasingly narrow dispersion at higher frequency. This technology was developed to radiate constant dispersion at all frequencies for the purpose of mapping the ocean floor using spherical cap radiators. After declassification it was adapted to audio by D.B. Keele. Numerous AES (Audio Engineering Society) papers have since been written by Keele and others on the topic. The guys at Wisdom Audio are no dummies, I'm sure they are aware of this technology but they are also aware of the complexity involved. To do this with a physically straight line would require each concentric pair of drivers to have their own DSP and amplifier channel. Near the center, where the curve demands very short delays, commonly available DSP doesn't have the resolution required. The only options would be to make the center of the line curved thus creating cosmetic and physical mounting issues or simply approximate the center... that is leave it straight and pretend it's curved. Curving the rest with DSP would still work pretty well. Doing it right would increase the cost by an order of magnitude with questionable levels of "real world" improvement. Personally I once had unshaded straight line main speakers in my old theater. I later shaded them and kinda regretted doing it. Complexity was significantly increased for an improvement that made measurement graphs look prettier but could I or anyone else claim they heard a difference? Not so much! My new theater will have full CBT's including the curve and the shading but only because I can and because keele would shoot me if I didn't;-) Would a floor to ceiling straight unshaded line work just as well? Yeah probably. The center speaker however will be horizontal so a straight unshaded line wouldn't work at all for this and thus it must be CBT. My old theater had a fully physically curved horizontal CBT and it worked perfectly but it was 7.5' wide and a couple feet deep due to the curve which made mounting/positioning etc problematic. The new one will be physically curved only near the center and DSP curved near the ends keeping it much shallower and possible to mount behind the screen. Again, for this horizontal application a conventional line wouldn't work at all but the CBT is pretty much unbeatable because you can control the dispersion and cut it off just beyond the outer most seats and have virtually nothing bouncing off the walls etc.
Today we tour a 7.X.4 Trinnov and Wisdom Audio dedicated home theater in Roswell, Georgia.

Did I understand Alex (toward the end of the video) to replace the front Wisdom Audio inwalls with Sonus Farbers? If so, why?
No, he still has Wisdom LCR.
@@Youthman
Thanks for the prompt reply. I’m confused then about pulling out his inwalls and installing Sonus Faber towers, what was that about?
It’s been over a year since I filmed that video. Can you provide a time stamp of the video where he mentions it?
@@Youthman
It’s at around 42:57.
Why is no one talking about one critical element he got right - there are no shoes allowed in the cinema room! Just like in my room too.
Yeah socks on a carpet is a must to keep it clean, or even a pair of house slippers.
I wish we would have had started that in ours. Doesn’t take long before it needs to be replaced.
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 yep, same for me
Truth! Socks only in my HT as well. 🤣
funny thing is I have a small basket of brand new socks at my door
Money talks. I guess as long as my kids tell me our relatively inexpensive home theatre sounds better than the local cinemark xd theatre I'm good.
Michael, you have now entered the professional realm in production value in a video presentation.
This is by far the best video production I've seen in a long time and you are setting yourself up to a very high standard when it comes to producing content.
This really looks and sounds like a professional tv production !
Wow, but think about what you now have done, how are going to top this presentation? Next time you have to storyboard and hire professional actors to keep this high standard in a video production. 😃😃😃

Alex has so much presence on camera. Fantastic interviewer. He could be your co-host! Great video lots of interesting info
Absolutely agree
@@Youthman Any idea what fabric color Alex ordered on his GIKs? Couldn't find a contact for him listed in the video. Thanks!
It’s official…my dream theater I built sucks. Thanks Youthman 😉
Haha
This is a whole new level!!!!. No one And I mean No one covers HT so elaborately !!! Thanks again Youthman. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
Wow thank you for the kind words. I certainly appreciate it
@@Youthman incredible content man!! Im 39yrs old and currently obsessed with cinema audio and a dedicated theater space. GOAKS ;)
@@raymondayala5355 Glad you’re enjoying the videos
I watch tours like watching a movie...This tour is gonna be a good hour, thumbs up 👍👍
Looking forward to sharing it with you
LOVED this video Michael! Not only does Alex have an amazing room, but this was very educational. From thought process to finished product, I feel like almost every aspect was discussed. Keep it up bud!
Thanks Kyle. This was definitely a different approach for the video but most seem to really like the format.
Wow phenomenal Michael. Great insights into the brands, electronics, and home theater design. Loved every minute.
Thank you Dave I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It was such a pleasure to meet each one of these guys and to learn from them.
DUDE!! DUDE!!!! He got all of that one and it's going back back back, it's gone. A home run of a video. Tip of the cap to you sir, the homeowner and all the special guests. With videos like this your subscriber numbers will skyrocket. I hit the like button at least a hundred times even though it only counts once. I hope that speaks for my appreciation.
Wow I really appreciate the kind words Rob. It seems that many really enjoyed the format of this video. Guess it pays to take a risk and try something different.
This might be the greatest TH-cam video I've ever seen! Beautiful, beautiful room. Unbelievable equipment. Good to see Chuck on here too.
Time for a wisdom audio upgrade 😝
Brolic I think its time Youthman came to see you for a video next.
@Brolic Media, feel free to submit your home theater at www.hometheatertours.com. Maybe we can reach out to Triad to see if they can make it a reality.
@@Youthman I definitely will!!! Thanks man, really really love your content!
Appreciate it.

Thank you hi-fi
Wow Youthman. All of your vids are excellent but this is the best one you have done.
Thank you for the kind words Percy glad you enjoyed the video
@@Youthman no problem my friend.
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 yeah I know, LOL. When I got out of my conference call I clicked on the vid and it was an hour well spent.
Now THIS is a classy home theater setup. Purposeful. No gimmicks, I love it. The A/V presentation is the focus- no silly amusement park decor or lighting. Thumbs UP!
I could not agree with you more Matt. Every detail was well thought out and executed
@@Youthman in fact, it’s got me more interested in line-array speakers. I have Martin Logan electrostats for my fronts (essentially line-arrays)- which is ideal because I have reflective concrete floors and a solid wood ceiling in my loft. There’s enough furniture to keep it from getting echoey, but smoothing out the volume for people standing near the surrounds as I play music in all-channel mode during a party, is an advantage.
@@Youthman I’m still grumpy tho. Don’t forget it ;) This just didn’t trigger my inner grumpus.
Honestly I had already forgotten. I don’t ever hold things against people. Take care
Well if you do like to pay 10x price for pretty box (Trinnov Altitude 48 EXT), you are right. Im pretty sure that 10x might be an understatement...
Love the video. Was wondering if you could find out what theater seats or just regular seats he uses in there
Someone else asked the same question. Alex is checking with his designer. I’ll post back once I find out
Still have a perfectly working Sony DVP-S7700 player. Found it at a thift store for $10. Very cool piece of gear. Watching this channel is causing a slight home theater itch to come back. I had a 6.2 system with a Sony STR-DE1075 back from 2001 to about 2005. Then switched to a 2.2 system and have been running 2 channel ever since. I'm content with it because I don't watch to many movies these days.... so idk.
Absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying what you have. Some people never get to that point.
*Im sorry, But this dude killed it! not just his theater, just in life. This is what you call a major stunt. I love it. Bravo man.*
This so professionally done. I can't wait til Youthman hits 1 million subscribers and starts going around the world to see all home theatres!
Thank you kindly Chris. That is the plan. :)
Awsome system, way out of my leage...until I win the lottery that is 🤣🤣🤣
I’m rooting for you!
Michael great and inspiring video!!! Thanks man for showing us all the good stuff!!! Keep going!
Thank you kindly. More great content to come
Youthman can you ask him where he got the HT seating at?
Home Theater is ALWAYS better than a commercial Theater! Hands down for me
It is if you have a good home theater. I would take my local cinema over a sound bar any day LOL
Maybe a better way to put it would be to say that it's a relatively simple matter to build a home theater that will out perform any commercial cinema. Like the Youthman said, a sound bar wouldn't cut it.
Finally seeing a movie in a true Dolby cinema changed my perspective on that. It is truly amazing if you havnt had the pleasure!
This is an awesome theater. Every component is so damn expensive. What does he do for living? 🤔 I am in wrong field. 😄😄
Awesome video!! I learned a lot. Alex seems like a really cool guy, Great communicator he must be in sales or marketing.
Alex is indeed a very cool guy.
This is awesome stuff Youthman. The detail in the theater design, speakers, processors and more is definitely worth the 1hr watch. It would be awesome if you can do more of this.
Thank you Rock steady. Apparently the style of video has been received very well.
“Rock Steady”! Nice to meet someone else at the intersection of Reggae music and HomeTheater!
the companies should pay you quite a lot of money or a lot of free equipment for this video. This don’t even looks like a “TH-cam” video, instead It looks like an infomercial ad for trinnov, wisdom audio, atmos, and Atlanta theatre.
Edit: damn, Alex is so professional, he looks like a paid actor/professional interviewer! This video looks like a planned out, written skit, rehearsed like per line paid actors infomercial. Kudos Michael, this video is so professionally done! Great job!!
Someone stepped up their editing game. Nice work!
Thank you Brent
Youthman, you need to get a kickback from Lotto & Mega Million. This video presentation will make all your viewers to run to the nearest 7 Eleven and play the Lottery (starting with me, and I have a decent dedicated Home Theater). This system is aspirational. I venture to estimate is $200K installed.
🤣🤣🤣 too funny David 😀
A lot more than that - just the speakers alone would be $200k. With all the other gear plus pro install it’s around a $ mill
You have really stepped up your game with this one . I do not know how you will ever top this one . May god bless and I cannot hardly wait for your next video . I continue to learn . I have started my own home theater project . But you give so many ideas that I am finding it hard to decide which way to go with the theme of the theater . I am wonting to go with a up scale family room and not a room of theater seats . Wish me luck .
Thank you for the kind words Rodney. Honestly it’s not up to me to “top this one call. I’m simply trusting the Lord to lead the way and open up opportunities like this to be able to share with my audience.
Everyone was a bit up-tight in this video almost as if it was staged, but the information was still very good regardless. I appreciate the insight and all the people that were brought in to speak.
It wasn’t staged but certainly was coordinated by me so that the video would flow from one aspect to another. Each of these gentleman are used to speaking in front of crowds (ie trade shows, trainings, demos). I didn’t feel they were uptight at all.
Never heard of Trinnov before this video. I’m glad this was a long well detailed video. Thanks Youthman and the home owner.
Great video !
Congrats to Alex on a mind blowing set up. The challenge is to now get my wife to watch this. She thinks I’m crazy for wanting to upgrade my 3 year old sr7012...
Thank you kindly
@youthman how does Alex's theater sound compared to the full JTR setup you showed us a year or two ago?
Hey Jeremy both systems are by far the best home theater tours that I have experienced. It would be difficult to compare the two because they are two completely different rooms, with two completely different components and two completely different sounding speakers. Not to mention I heard them a year apart from each other. I was absolutely impressed With Tony’s setup an absolutely impressed with Alex setup
Wow Michael best video so far by far, everything about it is so great, will done and congrats for Entering the very elite league 👏
Long time fan from Kuwait
Thank you Ahmad.
I never comment, usually hit like and keep it moving, but I had to commend you on putting together such an awesome video. It was very informative and I gladly watched all 59mins and 41secs. Thanks again Michael!!
I’m really glad to hear that thank you for taking the time to comment. I appreciate you watching
Michael great job on the video Alex if you're watching this you have a very nice theater room I just don't understand why people are putting it thumbs down on it it's just doesn't make no sense you actually did it right from the beginning and you gave me some good ideas for my Phase 2 setup that I'll be doing to my home theater congratulations on a very well-done theater room👌👍
Keep in mind, there are those who will thumb down a video even before the video premieres. My guess is they are unhappy with their life and choose to be negative. It’s pretty clear based on all of the comments they are in the minority.
I had a Sony 7000...killer piece
What's awesome about Alex and these videos is that we can show our wives that we're not the only ones who are this nuts about this hobby. 😂
Exactly! Then we can show them that our home theaters really aren’t that expensive in comparison to what we could’ve spent LOL
Love this room
Me too
What an incredible video man… great work!
Thank you kindly
I know we can’t get the full effect from a video
But are there any demo videos coming on this and the Atlanta theater showroom?
Your channels is premium quality, the owner of this excellent home theater is a reporter or work before on CNN, this guy really dominate all the interviews like a pro ✌️
The k you kindly. Alex has since become the CEO of Atlanta Home Theater.
Alex interviewing Atlanta Home Theatre is kind funny considering he’s the CEO lol
I couldn't think of a better person to be the new CEO than Alex. Absolutely incredible guy.
Damn this is a nice theater. And the guy who owned is was a very good communicator, he has to be in sales or marketing for sure. Great video
Best end user sales person ever!
Excellent video! Gives me ideas for the evolution of my theater! Thanks Youthman!
Awesome! I always hoped to inspire others through my videos
With those Line Speakers, would it be advantageous to use the as your Left, Right and Center speakers behind the screen?
Alex has Line Source LCR behind his screen.
So he has a center, left and right and Source LCR’s, you need to do a video on how that works.
I did not get to see behind the screen but I believe he just has three lines source Speakers behind the screen as his LCR
My HT dream is to be a guest in one of your videos showing my setup.10yrs ago I probably could have but HT has grown so much it looks average now.
Speakers have gotten a bit better in the last 10 years but not massively better. And acoustic room treatment hasn't changed much in the last 10 years. Apart from more people now implementing diffusion along side absorption.
Room correction has moved on vastly in the last decade. But probably the biggest difference in the last 10 years is people putting much more effort into making their home cinema decor look nice.
Some of the home cinema's these days look absolutely stunning the decor aesthetics of the entire room. Added benefit is a lovely looking room is a room you will want to spend lots of time in.
You have been growing yours for 10 years so I'm sure it's still great. No reason why you can't submit it for a room tour video.
Badass video. Really
Seems your channel
Is starting to hit that next level with these crazy videos you’ve
Been coming out with! I really want to have a badass decent home theater one day.
Thank you Davey. Glad you are enjoying the content. I’m just trying some new concepts. They seem to be well received.
Really nicely planned out, Very informative. Chuck Gerlach as well as the other guests all seem like the real deal. I was hoping Alex would give us the final tally on this amazing investment that I’m sure he and his family are able to maximize their enjoyment. Many kudos Youthman, you never fail to disappoint. 👏🏻 👏🏻
Most homeowners do not want to share on video how much they paid in fear that their spouses will see the video and find out. LOL. With all seriousness, I do not ask homeowners how much they spent as that would be similar to asking how much they make or how much they paid for their house. I feel it's a personal issue. His Wisdom speakers are around $10,000 each and his processor is $16,000 so it's definitely a high end system.
Michael, as that TV chef Emeril says, BAM!!!! You, my friend, are kicking it up 10 notches. What a high quality production. Ty.
Thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video
Really enjoyed this exceptional video. I've shared it with a few friends who have caught the home theater bug and recommended they subscribe to this channel so they can learn more about the hobby. Congrats on hitting it out of the park with the bases loaded. 😎
Thank you for the kind words Ron. I’m glad so many people enjoyed this approach. Might have to do more of it in the future.
youth man is epson 6050 ub a good projecter or should i buy the jvc nx5 is it really worth it and i will be using a big screen 200 inch yard master one so is jvc worthvit or espon good
I have not seen the NX5 or the 6050 but going from my Epson 5040 to the NX7 was a huge jump in performance
Awesome video to watch before building my own home theatre in the near future. thank you for this presentation guys 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
i think your channel has found its calling as you seem to be a great colaborater and host, these videos show really good new and or different designs of speakers and theaters. A lot of eye candy but more importantly a lot of really good info. Thanks
This room is awesome. I'd never leave it. Those seats look more comfortable than my bed.
Can Line Source speakers be also used as center channel speakers?
Absolutely. That’s what is behind his LCR. Also if you search for Youthman Star Wars on TH-cam, you will find two different theaters that use Wisdom LCR’s.
I was waiting for a demo!!!
Man I just love home theater! Can’t wait to watch!
I will be watching. I love watching your videos. You are very informative. You’re the man
Thank you for the kind words
Saw you on Facebook saying you were editing the video. Can't wait to see this system
Yes sir this video took me two days to edit. Pretty excited to share it with everyone
Great job Steve, Alex and everyone involved. Amazing setup! One question...are the in-ceiling speakers just mounted but not connected at this point?
That is correct. Joe asked Alex about them early on in the video. They are not part of the system. Eventually they will be removed and new drywall installed in the ceiling where the old speakers were.
The home owner seems ro have a simple taste,he wants only the best. However, a high end cinema as his is not complete without d-box motion I think. You feel the movie, in a very exciting way with d-box.
Dbox is cool but certainly not necessary for an absolutely incredible home theater experience.
D-Box is definitely a fun experience, however if not done properly can take you completely out of the movie experience. Also d-box is only effective in action movies but would not be appropriate for a drama or psychological thriller so although really fun I couldn’t see it being useful in my space.
Absolutely beautiful home theater room😍😍😍😘
Watching this on my humble 95” theatre setup. You guys rock!
That’s still awesome! Thanks for the kind words Alex
GREAT Vid!!! Super impressed. Question on Hush box. Excuse me if it was explained in vid as I'm currently watching. The hush box blocking the sound of the fan when it kicks on but since it is in the box, will that aid in increasing the heat on the projector as well? Would this be bad for the projector and cause for it to shut off or damage?
I wish we would have shown it in the video. There’s actually an air duct with a pump that pushes cold air into the box and another air duct that sucks hot air out of the box it’s pretty remarkable
@@Youthman Wow! Niiice. Great Vid as usual Youthman. I just love this stuff and love seeing the possibilities.
Yeah I initially wanted to include some more of his home automation but the more I thought about it it did not tie in with the story of his theater room which is why we only showed a very short clip in the living room and kitchen area
Pretty awesome system. If I had the money I'd love to do something like this. I'd be curious to see a REW sweep in there, to see what kind of curve they went for like if it more closely models Harman or something else.
It is VERY close to the Harmon Curve!
@@AudioGuy321 Thanks for the reply. Interesting, definitely going to revisit using it once I get some better speakers as it sounded off with my current ones even after giving it a week or so for my ears to adjust. Nice work!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting Chuck.
Some of your videos have me inspired.
I’ve thrown together some older equipment. Found my fathers old miller and Kriesel double 12” sub to go with my Polk 12 inch sub- found an older pioneer elite DTS 7.1 receiver, clearance epson 3700 ($650) and a 20% off amazon special acoustic transparent 120” screen. Some Polk audio 265rt in walls. I’m into my system $2k and it rocks for my upfront cost.
That’s awesome Mitch! Enjoy the journey
First off, thank you for the content and it's clear you put a lot of work into this. I hope these companies paid you handsomely for their portion of the 60-minute commercial. After reading through the comments I realize I'm in the minority as most if not all loved this video. However, I prefer videos and room tours that have some personality. I was drawn to your channel because you're a fun guy to listen to and it was a refreshing change from channels like the Audioholics which just put me to sleep. I hope this comment doesn't come off as negative to anyone involved because it's not my intention. It's a beautiful room, the company that built it did a great job.
Thank you for the kind words Marc. No I don’t take offense to your comments at all. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Most tours are typically just me and the homeowner but with this collaboration, we decided to try a different format. It was a cool dynamic that I believe added a lot of value to the video as there was over a century of experience sharing their knowledge in this video.
incredible room! and gear!
dont know about those chairs though
lol
I loved it, incredible home cinema
Glad you enjoyed it Jose
This was a very good video. Definitely the best home tour ive seen yet.
Nice explaining
25:50 So you took the code and you run it natively top of standard x86 Intel processor wich is running Linux (wich is free)... Why in THE Hell Altitude 48 EXT costs over $20.000?! There is no single part wich you have created in that "cinema processor"!
Wow great looking room and amazing system. Clearly no compromises were made on anything. I even love the seating! What product is that?
Turned into an infomercial for wisdom….
Depends on your perspective. There are plenty in the comments that appreciated the technical aspect that each guest provided for the video.
This was so great! The theater as well as the interview style was very entertaining.
Thank you kindly. There is always a risk and trying something different But in this case, it looks like it was a great decision
Awesome theater and presentation by the owner and guests!
One of the most interesting videos about HT on TH-cam for the past years. Excellent job.
Thank you for the kind words.
Awesome installation and design ! Wow - What is the estimated cost of this Home Theather ?
I’m not sure. But it’s a lot. 😀
@@Youthman I'm also in ATL, and in a process to finish my basement Home Theather next month, and I thought I spent a lot with ~$70k, with Home Theatherworks Inc, ...Damn....probably nothing for Alex !, I need his job :-)
I will probably send you my description on your Web site, to maybe see you !
Sounds good Bruno. Would love to see your setup.
@@Youthman Yes indeed, I still need to get my Amplier as well as the Blu-ray and Control 4 panels to be installed...in July ! Coming soon...
I guarantee this set up would embarrass my local movie theater 😳🤣
Mine too
I live my home theater. 25’ screen, IMAX enhanced, 8K, Auro-3D, Atmos, etc… electric seats with shakers, Zippitti Player with all my movies (over 700), and I always get the best seat in the house. Kettle Corn popcorn, drinks, hot dogs, pizza, steak, it is truly the best I have ever had it.
No driving as I have to drive a minimum of 1.5 hours, worry about getting into a wreck or my truck stolen, costs of getting there and back, noisy people, people walking in front of me once I get comfortable, people playing on their phones, phones going off, people talking, drunks getting loud, having to be there when they want to start the movie, high ticket prices, over priced concessions, then having to miss part of the movie when I run out, etc…
Here a IMAX showing is 20.00 a ticket so your looking at a minimum of 2 tickets so 40.00 plus tax, concessions another 30.00, driving costs and wear and tear add 96.00, plus 3 hours of driving where you can get into a wreck or hitting something.so for me it would cost approximately $166.00, and if I watch another it brings down the costs of the first but still costs more per trip.
Is he using GIK 242 (3.6" thick)or 244 panels (5.5") panels on his first reflections? It seems that his GIK Alpha panels are the same depth, but those come in 4" or 6" depth sizes. Make sense to make them look same depth for asthetics
90 percent of people can’t afford this but I love it when he says “You absolutely need 8 7hz subs” in a theatre room bigger than most peoples houses”
Michael this was a really good video. And very educational. Great job brother 👏 👍
This is my favorite home theater tour of all time, and I’ve watched hundreds
Alex has made some huge upgrades since this video. I’m looking forward to sharing the upgrades he’s made in the near future. Stay tuned
@@Youthman can’t wait youthman! I’ve really enjoyed watching your channel evolve over the last 3 or four years I’ve been watching. You never disappoint.
Thank you for the kind words. It’s been an amazing journey over the past six years but it’s just the beginning.
great video
WOW 👏👌👌 some absolutely incredible content and information in this video, thanks so much for sharing! Standout theater, tour and interviews all in one 🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed the video Seth
NICE!!!! The man is serious about his sound & picture!!!! Big up!!!!
That’s not a home theater. That’s a home cinema. Amazing video too
It's just in America they usually call it a home theater. Whereas in the UK where I'm from we usually call it a home cinema. Yep amazing video.
Home Cinema does sound more fancy. But C A is correct, we typically refer to them as a home theater in the US. Thanks for watching
Heh - I’m in America too. I was just trying to emphasize how proper it is 😅. It’s a great home theater/cinema 👌
Gotcha lol. The way you described it, it does sound like you were in another country
Love your room. What is the room size?
He mentioned it at the very beginning when he began the tour
Dude has the exact hardware I’m getting for my rack. All ATI amps, Trinnov, UB-9000, Kaleidescape and the Zappiti with NAS. Oh and I suppose thrown in Control 4 as well. Only differences are I will be going with RBH speakers and Laser 4K projector.
Nice. You will have a killer setup
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 I definitely will. I was going to reach out to Youthman once it is finished.
Looking forward to it.
All I can say is is Jaw dropping. Great video Michael. Really enjoyed this one.
I appreciate it Steve
Michael this is a fantastic video and super educational! Awesome job man 👏
Glad you enjoyed it and found value in it
@@Youthman Definitely. Made me add the finishing touches to my room and order some more acoustic treatments! Funny enough I was going with GIK before seeing this. Helped me pull the trigger.
Very cool. Mine just shipped yesterday!
Wow youthman unbelievable content!! How this tour was done with everyone involved was so special! 🙏🏿🙏🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I certainly appreciate the kind words.
The work and effort into this video is a Flawless Victory!! You've outdone yourself!
Thank you for the kind words Geo
Hey! What happened to Youthman? He vanished?!
Lol I agree. He’s just like I’ll let them have at it and just film it. He’s the director
2 days of filming, 2 days of editing. I did my part 🤣
That's an amazing theater! Yes, line arrays are perfect for home theater. CBT arrays take it a step farther but are more complex. Physically curving them makes it more difficult to integrate into the room and DSP curving them requires multiple DSP and amplifier channels for each speaker. Either way, it's pretty much limited to either DIY or even more expensive commercial than this system. As far as I know, it's not commercially available so DIY is really the only option.
These are Line Source, not Line array. Very different.
Joe did a great job explaining in the video what a line source is and how it is beneficial for a home theater
@@whenwillitsnow Well basically the same unless you are talking about a continuous radiator as opposed to closely spaced individual drivers.
Are you familiar with CBT lines? Unlike conventional lines, the CBT is constant beamwidth independent of frequency. The CBT achieves frequency invariant dispersion through delays that follow a circular arc, and a Legendre shading function. The dispersion can be defined in the design parameters to provide whatever coverage is desired with uniform constant directivity. Conventional lines simply can't do this but they are still generally far superior to more, "point source" type designs at least for home theater in my opinion.
Edit: Btw, there is a commercial CBT product by JBL. I never gave it much thought or credit but recently someone sent measurement data that looked surprisingly good. It's really too small to behave like a CBT very low in frequency however. Despite the Wisdom being a simple straight unshaded line, I suspect it probably sounds a lot better. I haven't heard either, that's just from observation of the design and components used in each. The JBL is made for pro-audio so while, within a limited frequency range, it may have better dispersion control than the Wisdom, I doubt it holds a candle to it on overall sound quality. It would be interesting to hear both.
@@Youthman Yes he did!
@@lukerestlessstudios Yes that's one of the nice things about Planars, AMT's etc, very much a pure resistive load. As for no passive crossover, I rarely use passive crossovers for anything, active is the only way to go, Ive been doing that since the mid 1980's. Back then it was analog but all DSP these days.
Their line will do exactly what any straight unshaded line will do, there isn't any magic or bypassing laws of physics involved. Dispersion characteristics of line sources have been well understood and documented for many decades.
Ideally a straight unshaded line should be infinite which is normally achieved by making the line floor to ceiling. In this case the listener is, in effect, always in the center regardless of vertical listening position, which eliminates vertical beaming at higher frequency.
Btw, the term, "shading" simply means attenuation. Shaded lines radiate full output in the center and attenuate output toward the ends of the line based on a mathematical function called a Legendre. This alone improves the uniformity of the vertical dispersion. Increasing delay toward the ends of the line also improves vertical dispersion. Combined, these can produce a line with constant directivity in the vertical axis while maintaining the characteristic wide dispersion in the horizontal axis.
There is no other known mathematical way to achieve this constant directivity from a line. The technology was developed for the US Navy, to project broadband energy within a specified beam so that this beam could be maintained independent of frequency. Conventional radiators radiate increasingly wide dispersion at lower frequency and increasingly narrow dispersion at higher frequency. This technology was developed to radiate constant dispersion at all frequencies for the purpose of mapping the ocean floor using spherical cap radiators. After declassification it was adapted to audio by D.B. Keele. Numerous AES (Audio Engineering Society) papers have since been written by Keele and others on the topic.
The guys at Wisdom Audio are no dummies, I'm sure they are aware of this technology but they are also aware of the complexity involved. To do this with a physically straight line would require each concentric pair of drivers to have their own DSP and amplifier channel. Near the center, where the curve demands very short delays, commonly available DSP doesn't have the resolution required. The only options would be to make the center of the line curved thus creating cosmetic and physical mounting issues or simply approximate the center... that is leave it straight and pretend it's curved. Curving the rest with DSP would still work pretty well. Doing it right would increase the cost by an order of magnitude with questionable levels of "real world" improvement.
Personally I once had unshaded straight line main speakers in my old theater. I later shaded them and kinda regretted doing it. Complexity was significantly increased for an improvement that made measurement graphs look prettier but could I or anyone else claim they heard a difference? Not so much! My new theater will have full CBT's including the curve and the shading but only because I can and because keele would shoot me if I didn't;-) Would a floor to ceiling straight unshaded line work just as well? Yeah probably. The center speaker however will be horizontal so a straight unshaded line wouldn't work at all for this and thus it must be CBT. My old theater had a fully physically curved horizontal CBT and it worked perfectly but it was 7.5' wide and a couple feet deep due to the curve which made mounting/positioning etc problematic. The new one will be physically curved only near the center and DSP curved near the ends keeping it much shallower and possible to mount behind the screen. Again, for this horizontal application a conventional line wouldn't work at all but the CBT is pretty much unbeatable because you can control the dispersion and cut it off just beyond the outer most seats and have virtually nothing bouncing off the walls etc.
you are the man for covering something like this so in-depth fantastic work!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. It was an awesome experience
Great video. The quality of production was really good. Lighting, sound, content, and editing all great. Having the experts there made good content.
Thank you John. I am always striving to improve my craft
