Great setup man. I had Valencia 3 seaters for a long time, and when I sold my old house I was never happier to leave $6000 worth of furniture behind. You could easily fit a huge sectional and a recliner or 3 in that basement, in my opinion that'd be the way to go. I hated not being able to just lay on my side or with the wife without an armrest in between.
yeah, feedback like yours is really pushing me towards a sectional. thank you!
I just got the Valencia Luxury Ultimate Oslo seats and I can definitely tell you that they are super supportive and the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in! I have sectional style seating upstairs and have had the traditional couch. For a dedicated home theater, do not cheap out on your seats! I can sit in my Oslos for ongoing hours without any body fatigue, unlike any chairs in the past. If you are uncomfortable, you are not going to spend as much time in your setup.
Thank you for sharing
Love your clean space, especially what you did with the lighting making them smart rgb.
Thank you!
Very cool setup & clean. I am running a Marantz SR7013 receiver paired with an Emotiva Next Gen 3 5 channel..............pushing Sandy Gross / Definitive Technology Super Towers BP7001 fronts, BP 7002 rears and just recently added a POLK Reserve 400 Center Channel. Simple yet very effective!
Nice 👍
Very nice system
With that lighting, gotta have furniture on casters so that it can move out for party / disco night 👍🎉
Very cool setup! Thanks for giving knowledge on the bass traps 💪🏿
You bet
I have smaller room Goldenear triton 2s floorstanding speakers b&w sub 500 & Nad Power amp 150watts .400 jukebox c/d.Just classic rock Music ..Good video & best to you !
Very nice!
Thanks for sharing your setup it’s really great! New sub
that's a nice clean set up. i'm building a theater wall myself. in my case i'm flush mounting everything. i like that you put that cooling fan in your rack. i notice the back of your rack is open like its inside another room or closet. that's what it looks like. interesting. my racks i'm building into enclosed cubby holes if you will and for this reason i'm using a lot more cooling fans to keep that air moving. the outer door of your rack looks like it eliminates the need for custom faceplates on your rack. they can get pricey. all around nice set up - good job.
i'm going a different direction, but i like what you did. very nice and clean looking. that subwoofer of yours looks like a beast!
Thank you! yes, the back of the rack is open to a storage room behind that wall.
@@hifihometheater that's cool you have a storage room to use like that. my house doesn't have that. i'm using 2 middle atlantic ax-sxr slide out racks. one on each side of the tv. flush mounted klipsch cornwall 3's under each rack. a klipsch heresy 3 for center channel under the tv
Men I love your setup, pretty nit and very close to what I can have at home. Thanks for the tour.
Nice room, thanks for sharing! It was a treat
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very Nice!!
Thanks!
Awesome space Brian! Did the support posts conveniently fit where the side surrounds needed to go or was that by design? I still remember your dedicated room and unfinished basement. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts comparing the two.
Hey thanks Kevin! I incorporated the support pole locations into the design. The poles are not even equidistant to the front wall so they actually end up in different locations inside the columns. As far as comparing this setup to my dedicated theater, I like this one a lot better. the dedicated theater was just too small to setup the speakers correctly. You need to come check out the new setup!
nice setup ....
Thank you!
Great looking space!
Thank you!
Beautiful basement and nice clean setup.
Thank you!
Nice setup. I wonder did you thought about enclosing the room where the columns are? (Bringing things closer). (Creating three sections) ~ poster/popcorn, home theater, workout/pool table.
I did but I wanted the basement to remain more usable
Liked, subbed and commenting.
That's a great TV, what's the HTZ rating? Home Theater Gurus is a fantastic channel, it's great seeing a HT that has speakers in the right places AND acoustic treatments! Excellent set up.
Thanks! I believe it was a true 120Hz panel
I'm in the process of building my own basement theater with Arendal Sound 1723 bed layer and 1723 S for heights. Im in the process of figuring out how I wanna mount the speakers that go on the wall. These speakers are heavy! I don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me, but I feel nervous even using only (2) 175 lb rated "Wall Driller Plus" drywall anchors. The anchors that came with the speakers are a joke, in my opinion. LOL. With that being said, how did you fasten your wall mounted speakers?
Yeah I didn’t even try using the anchors that came with the speakers. I used snap toggle anchors like these

Enjoyed the tour. I’ve got 4 theater seats. Thinking I would enjoy a large sofa or theater seats with a lower back. Had to put my back speakers a little higher than desired. Now I’m wondering if I need atmos speakers. Current configuration I feel like I’m in a bubble and I get proper sound effects over my head. When I say proper I’m referring to helicopters and jets and such. I’m sure it’s not as accurate though.
Looks like an aggressive tow in on the front 2 speakers? Do they need that much?
I feel like they do. I think anytime you are dealing with multiple seats you are going to benefit from some tow in. If not, any time you are off to one side or the other, the closer speaker is going to be a lot louder and mess with the imaging. Towing the speakers in so that you are more off axis to the closer speaker but more on axis to the further one helps to remedy that. This is also where having a speaker with good off axis response really helps.
Just the one sub in that Lg room? What’s the specs on the sub? - too bad you can’t enclose the room. Nice setup 👍🏼
There are two of them actually. The other one is in the corner on the other side of the front wall. Link to the sub is in the description. I would get more feel if I could close the room off but the pair of them do a heck of a job. The room is about 6000 cubic feet. Not small but not too much for a pair of these subs. Thanks for watching!
My room is similar, but l-shaped, coming in at about 10,000-ish cubic feet on concrete. I have eight subs and I’m still trying to get them to shake the room a bit more. I want the room shaking, but not at the expense of keeping the bass clean, not boomy.
Nice job. How'd you mount panel on the door?
Thanks! I used these metal anchors. It’s a hollow door.

The monolith 7 Channel link to Amazon does not work
fixed it. thanks for the heads up!
Hello Brian,
Congratulations on the home theater setup.
Please inform and post the manufacturers and models of all your equipments in your home theater setup including all cables.
I'm sorry for my english.
I Live in Brazil.
Thank you.
I go through the gear in the video. The cables I use are 10awg Blue Jeans cable to the front LCR and Monoprice 12awg for all the surround and atmos
Nice work, looks like an excellent build for a reasonable cost of entry! Can you walk through some of your bass management optimization with this setup? Thanks!
Are you talking about how I have it setup in the AVR or how I tune it in MultEQ-X?
@@hifihometheater tuning in MultEQ X would be great!
@@HiFinest343 OK. I have been wanting to do something showing MultEQ-X and I think going through how I use it for my subs may be fun. Keep on the lookout!
Nice setup. You be done a great job. I was wondering why there’s no disc player. Do you rip all of your movies to a drive or do you primarily stream?
I completely forgot to go over that! Yes, I rip everything as a MKV file to the Synology NAS and play it through Plex on the Nvidia Shield. Thanks for watching!
That is a very impressive setup you have there. I am considering purchasing Arendals. I'm having trouble deciding between the 1723 monitors and 1723 towers. Did you have any problems integrating your subs with the towers?
Hi Stephen. I do not have any issues integrating the subs with the towers. If you are OK with the monitors on stands and use good subwoofers, I would personally lean towards the monitors and save some money. If you do not like the idea of stands or you have no subs or your subs could use some help, then the towers may make sense. I don't use the towers full range with these Monolith 13 subs, they just cannot keep up. But, I did like using the towers full range when I had the SVS PC2000 Pro's as the bass from the towers could actually supplement those subwoofers. It takes some time setting up though.
@@hifihometheater Thanks for the response. I really don't want stands, which actually is the main negative I see to getting the monitors. Plus I prefer the look of the towers. I have a pair of HSU 15s. They are very good subs, so I really don't need the bass from the towers.
@@stephenphillips1660 it sounds like the towers may be the way to go then. I don’t use the bass from my towers either but it’s nice to have options. Plus I do like how they look. I have no regrets getting towers over the monitors
Do mind sharing me around how much you paid for Steve's services.
Send him a DM on Facebook, he will respond back with all the details.
No need for diffusers on that ceiling sir 😮😂
Your room looks fantastic, but the Arendal deserve a better AVr or Processor. If I were you I would purchase a Processor to replace your Denon.
Really? What about the Denon do you feel is lacking? Do you have experience comparing the 3800 to something else?
The 3800 replaced a 6700 and I cannot hear any difference in sound quality. It will take a pretty big bump for me to replace the 3800 which puts it lower on the upgrade path list. Some day though. Thanks for watching!
I agree ..im working on my upgrade and the first thing I'm tossing is my denonx8500h, for a avm90,with the arendals, using klipsch right now..i have 9.6.1 ...great advise
@@blueflame0003 If I do swap out the 3800, an Anthem pre/pro is most likely what I would get. Let us know how you like your setup once you get it all!
@@hifihometheater ok i will ...plz be patience..as you know upgrade take time and money, i just bought 2 amp,going in for a 3rd the prepro...thks
@@blueflame0003 I hear you! you guys have me eyeing the Anthems again LOL! I need seating first though.... or do I?... It never ends so just enjoy the ride!

Your room looks fantastic, great job! I'm debating about buying a NAS, this is an area I know very little about so I'm wondering why I couldn't just use a PC with multiple hard disc connected by USB. I probably just need to learn more about the advantages of a NAS.
The advantage is redundancy. the ability to use multiple drives in a RAID setup so if you lose a drive, you don't lose all your data. The NAS was a new area for me as well but I don't regret it at all
@@hifihometheater I just watched one video that said USB drives are actually faster than NAS but it seems a lot of people are usig NAS to stream 4K so I have to think they are fast enough. You could probably set up a full size PC with a card inside that's full of USB ports and do a RAID backup on half of them to get the redundancy. So a PC may work but might not be as simple to set up. I guess a NAS is basically a PC that's dedicated to controlling a bunch of hard drives and also being a server so it probably is the best solution.
@@mfkhometheater7742 There are ways to setup a PC as a NAS like UNRAID and FREENAS but, like you said, using the Synology is more simple for me.
Very very nice set up !
Thanks!
