I do home theater tours on my home theater channel and absolutely love every aspect of this home theater. I loved seeing the "install" portion of it as well and the "why" behind the decisions from this build out. Absolutely fantastic video and incredible home theater. That rack is SUPER clean. Truly a first class home theater here. Just shared it on my channel.
@all things good and bright maybe to you. For many of us, its not. 🤷🏽♂️ People spend anywhere between 20-50k + on their theaters. If you have the money and it makes you happy, who cares what they do with their money? Lol
@all things good and bright some of us worked very hard to be in a position to afford things like this. On another note..... Everything is temporary anyway and you can't take any of this stuff with you, when you die..... so Everything, including "money" is not permanent.
@@TH-camuser1aa I think we’re all just impressed by the fact that someone actually went out and got a job. And, yes, the tucked in shirt is an added bonus.
I would love to have seen the measurements of the seat-to-seat consistency. I know it's probably really good in such an optimized space, but data is one of those proofs you can't find in the pudding. Amazing room, and as someone who is running four 10" on-wall subs, it's great to see the performance that can be gained from modest drivers in optimized rooms.
JBL Synthesis is absolutely top of the line. Their ability to provide subtlety as well as slam is unmatched in the world of high end Cinema. When you factor in their ability to fill virtually any size room, there really is no other solution. Well done.
This is about $100k to $120k install, the hardware alone is $50-60k, plus all the labor and construction. Amazing setup. The only problem is this doesn't add that amount to the value of your home so you better be in your forever home if you want to make this investment, but if you can afford this then you don't care about that anyways.
People always seem to miss that part. Same applies to a pool and pole barn. To a select crowd, they are great additions. To others, they are a waste of space.
Probably depreciates rather quickly which is what OP might be referring to, for example if the install costs 100 grand, within 5 years it might only be worth 30, etc Which is why personally I'd opt for a used system and try to do most of the basic installation myself, then get an expert in acoustics/audio to finalize the setup
I certainly agree with Youthman's comments below. Without a doubt, one of the best video's I've seen; a great home theater! I really like that you work with DIY'ers. So many of the higher end components seem they have to be done by 'Installers' and only available through them; and quite frankly, I can't stand that! I love doing stuff myself. Keep up the fantastic work!
The customer went back and forth on whether to do the pit couch or another row of theater chairs for the front row. They decided on the lounge height couch and it ended up being the perfect space for more casual watching, especially with 16:9 content. A large 98"x92" fleece blanket that completely covers the couch really turned this into the ultimate lounge space! The riser was also built at the appropriate height to allow them the flexibility to do a front row of theater chairs if they ever want to change it up. Thanks for watching!
@@AudioAdvice I am currently building a home theater room from scratch at my home and your videos really inspired me in every aspect! Would you happen to know where I can get a similar pit couch like this one? I hope I can make an amazing room too! Thanks!
Thanks for your comments. The written review on our site does show all the components broken out. www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/jbl-synthesis-sony-home-theater-dolby-atmos/ Thanks for watching
holy wow seeing this built from beginning to end has been enlightening. I always imagined I couldn't have something like this at my house, but seeing this come to life end to end has completely changed my mind. Thanks for the video!!!
Wow that setup is killer! I can imagine family movie nights in there and love seeing the connecting bonus room. My husband is super into home audio and always tries to explain to me the ins and outs...🤷♀️ the way you explained the compression drivers and dispersion patterns with the visuals made it finally click. Also, who was the designer? I feel like I would have made all the same choices!
Thank you! A lot of thought and consideration went into picking the finishes to make sure we met the aesthetic that the customer wanted without having any compromise in performance.
This was a great video. I'm in the process of building a house here in TX that will have an approximately equivalent sized theater room (11' x 21', wired for 5.2.4) and I've been watching every home theater design and speaker review video TH-cam has (including yours) trying to figure out how I'm going to design the room and what kind of system I'm going to put in there. I've never heard about these JBL Synthesis speakers, but I feel like these check all of the boxes for what I was looking for, so I will definitely be keeping these on my radar. It was between a high end in-wall/in-ceiling system like this, or some sweet audiophile type towers like the Focal Aria with the in-wall/ceiling versions for surrounds and Atmos. I really like the idea of having everything hidden in a theater room though. I'm also a DIY'er, so I love that you guys show the whole room build process as I'm planning on doing something very similar with my room. I've been thinking everyday about how I'm going to design the room and I think this one is going to be what I try to emulate. Keep up the good work.
We appreciate the kind words! JBL Synthesis speakers are impossible to beat in a home theater application. Once you hear the difference the compression drivers make in terms of performance and dynamics you will never go back! If you do end up going with box speakers, keep in mind that gloss colors will be very prone to reflection from the screen so you will want to take this into consideration as you choose your finish and determine your placement. If you have any questions or want more information as you continue planning out your room, jump over to www.audioadvice.com where you can call/chat with our team of experts. You can also use our free home theater design tool to help nail down perfect placement of your gear. We'd love to help! Thanks for watching!!
I've been watching your videos for a while and this is the best one yet. Beginning to end, this is super informative for folks that might want to build a home theater in the future. A+ stuff. Also that whole upstairs area is incredible.
This is literally my dream. I’ve always wanted to put a theater in my house, this looks perfect. I’m 16 years old right now but hopefully when I’m older I’ll be able to afford a theater in my house!
1. I do own JBL Synthesis equipment in my cinema. Totally love it and it does bump up the audio to crazy good levels. Not much in the world that can match it. 2. Awesome tour, really nice! Loved the video! Peace out from Sweden :). Wish Audio Advice was here :)
WOW! Love the time-lapse - really shows how much work goes into this kinda stuff. Amazing work as always! This looks like a great place to kick back with a few beers and watch the Taylor Swift Folklore Long Pond Session with a couple pals 🍻
Awesome build! The details in this video, especially the diagrams showing why specific model speakers were selected for its intended channel was very informative. I hope to see more like this.
Now this is what you call home theatre. There are so many small business mislead people with setting up home theater. If you have right people with great knowledge even with less money you can get best value out of it …… I am trying to build home theater myself this video is so helpful …..
This is a fantastic video guys! I would love to just experience this room in all of its glory. Oh and the time lapse is so well done and makes me fully appreciate this kind of work.
This is IMMENSELY impressively well done in literally every way. But no matter what, I cannot stop thinking about how much this whole setup had to have cost!
JBL Synthesis is the go-to audio system that Hollywood actors and producers use in their screening rooms, I'm so glad they have made premium product for real world rooms as well.
Nicely done AA! A very attractive room. Are the forward side SCL-7s wides or additional side surrounds? Very nice job on acoustic design/treatments. Very nice choice on speakers for this room, including the four subs and their placement. Thumbs up on Synthesis! "New" adjoining media/fun room is excellent! Food for thought for your next design: The height of the aft side SCL-7s are extremely close to the nearest seats (outboard) because they are placed so low. The law of inverse proportions will make those two seats extremely loud compared to the middle, and highly distracting. Yes, it is popular for HT surrounds to be at ear level, but...if we are emulating a fine cinema or mixing/dubbing stage, the vertical angle to surrounds is about 30 degrees up from level...and we can't beat physics on the law of inverse proportion without changing distance. Placing those side SCL-7s higher and in horizontal orientation (with the waveguide oriented properly/downward) covers the row better and puts some distance away from the outboard seats, making them far less distracting. This would be an "easy" change since you webbed the pre-wire. The back SCL-7s are so low as to not clear the back row seat backs (or pony wall) therefore no direct sound to ears from those. They could easily go higher and toward the corners (to avoid the acoustic treatments) and cover the room...or even better, go with them in the ceiling, waveguides aimed into the room. You guys are doing a great job. Keep it coming.
I would really like to make a home theater in my house, but unfortunatly I live in a country where we still dont have accessibility to most of companies.
Just beautiful, wow. Absolutely love the attention to detail; everything is very well thought out and taken into consideration, and not to mention, it all LOOKS really clean and great. I really love how the lounge in the back is a smaller extension of the theatre with that tv. Excellent set up and video!! 👍🏾
This is great, love the gear rack in the "other" room, that's gonna through a lot of heat and make noise, so that's usually overlooked.... however, you mentioned that the user can change the temp in the room, but there's no HVAC vents? I didn't see you install any in the time lapse? I just see a mini split over the door. Was ventilation an afterthought in this design or was the vent a source of sound bleeding? that is, would the sound travel through the vents and into other areas of the house? What are you doing about vibration control? Did you sound proof more than just using rockwool in the walls? did you double up on the sheetrock? One issue I find is when I'm watching a movie in a room like this, is the sound just bleeds out and vibrates and shakes the rest of the house and annoys other family members who might be sleeping. Part of the enjoyment of a room like this is that you can go watch a movie at full volume and not disturb the other family members, if you know what I mean. The best design for this that i've seen was a guy who designed a room inside a room. You would have to open two sets of doors to get in, but the benefit was that he had full air ventilation and his own hvac zone, and there was no sound leak or vibration even at full volume.
Thanks for watching. The insulation worked out great. The homeowner tells us he can play things as loud as he wants while the family sleeps quietly nearby. There is a split system which was done that way on purpose
This is the best video I’ve seen on your channel. Really great work on the home theater AND on the video. Very interesting and informative from beginning to the end. Great use of references to other videos while still sharing the main points. Would love to have a home theater exactly like this 👍🏻😊
Great video! You guys did a solid job!! Great AV equipment! Please mention the brand name of the screen, and the brand and specs of the projector. Ohh and consider showing us the rack setup and connections! Is there any surge protection for the rack? Or power cleaning?? Also what is controlling the system? Is it the harmony remote? Would be able to give a ball park figure cost for a setup like this?
I have been lucky enough to listen to a JBL synthesis system both at Cedia as well as the Harmon facility in Northridge California and it's the real deal. Nothing short of astounding!
It was great having you guys pull this design off in my house. Kids are loving how Dream’s Minecraft speed-runs sound on this bad boy. Appreciate all the work. PS LOVED your work in Goonies

@@AudioAdvice im in an appartement. My room 11ftx11ft. I curently have a 75in Qled, bose acoustimass 10 series v, 24 2in sound proof foam at ear level spaced out and the back "wall"(3windows) is a giant Curtain( 3 different layers). If i had a house i'd want something like what you've shown here. I just can't go crazy here for the neighbors sake lol.
You are 110% right. We see so many rooms with tons of money spent on the gear and zero on the acoustic treatment and we feel proper acoustic treatment is the most important component. Thank you for watching!
Well done👍@Audio Advice . We make a lot of home theaters in India & we really appreciate you people for your passion & showing quality content to people😊 starting from scratch the care you have taken to get the best outcome & treating acoustics well which is the crucial part of any home theatre to get the best sound experience it was more kind of facts . We wish you all the best from team USK Home Theatres Hyderabad India🙏
Great question. To prevent any issues we have several large silica gel packets sitting inside the window casing to prevent any moisture buildup. The window is also accessible from the outside so that these can be changed out as needed. Thanks for watching!
Tbh as awesome as a home cinema is, the feeling of going to the cinema, buying tickets and everything is what makes cinema so good for me. I would rather save the 100k, buy a nice car and go to the cinema all the time :D
@@basil5863 I agree, walking in and smelling the popcorn is part of the experience. If I was rich enough I'd have a $100k home theater but still go to theaters for the experience and of course for new movies you can't watch anywhere else.
@@basil5863 The way streaming services have access to new film releases, cinema attendance will only decrease further and put more of them it of business.
We love starting with a blank canvas! When moving, the homeowner looked specifically for a house that had a rectangular room above the garage to allow them to build out their dream theater. We were just excited to be a part of creating such an amazing space that their family can enjoy for many years to come! Thanks for watching!!
I agree after years of trying to use high end speakers in my home theater I tried some pro audio speakers. I remember seeing the blue man group in vegas and researched what the sound system they used was as the sound was great. They used D&B Audiotechnik. I outfitted my theater with these speakers and sure they were massive overkill for the size, but WOW how good they sound.
Truly amazing how you started with one thing and turned it into a completely different space! The JBL Synthesis sounds awesome and I look forward to more content!
Yes, it is virtually impossible to tell as you are listening to the micrphone and your own speakers along with all the YT compression. Thanks for watching and commenting
Incredible home cinema. Small nitpick for me would be the light reflections off the walls and ceiling. The room was lighting up like a Christmas tree during the demo sequence which would be detrimental to immersion and would reduce the perceived contrast ratio. Black velvet would be able to absorb the light but the client might not be happy with the overall look. Otherwise everything else looks absolutely superb. Fantastic job.
Thank you, yes the reflections are always an issue with any system. However the video makes it look far more exaggerated than it actually is in real life. We used a matte paint finish. Thanks for watching
Thanks! Yes, we have been in business 44 years in Raleigh and have a Charlotte NC location as well. Please drop by our store on Glenwood Ave, we have some great sound rooms and home theaters, Open Tues-Fri 10-7 and Sat 10-6
This video was truly amazing, the fact that you had the whole build, setup, and even a complete breakdown on what you did and how everything works and why is amazing. Keep up the great content man! Also if you don't mind me asking, how did you get started working in this type of area? How did you learn all the information about the audio and technical components? it's very interesting to me.
I did something very similar in my man cave, but at a much cheaper cost haha. I'm NOT this rich lol. Your setup here is much nicer!!, beautiful setup. I got a 120" projector that drops down in front of my 65" LG OLED. I got a dedicated laptop going to an 8 way splitter to hit up, 8 TVS throughout the house :) Not just the basement, upstairs too. I got a pool table area as well with a 24" tv in the corner like a bar setup. Another receiver with 2 more speakers in the ceiling. I got 2 more rooms in the basement, computer/music room with my turntable (record player) and a work bench. The 2nd room I call the "Retro Room" old school game systems, 2 CRT tv. 27 inch trinitron and a 32 inch panasonic. A 65" rear projection mitsubishi that the previous homeowner left in the house. My main audio setup is Yamaha receiver 7.1 setup. 600 watt Klipsch sub. Polk audio and infiniti speakers. The receiver on my recrod player btw is a Sony with a polk audio sub with klipsch speakers.
@@AudioAdvice I had to make a major edit lol "I'm NOT this rich" I did best for what I have and had. I wasn't bragging. MAJOR mistake by forgetting to write "not" where it was needed lol

Man, this is my dream theater! Excellent info and explanation. Will be working towards something like this in future. JBL Synthesis for the win!!
Go for it!
This is what I would want in my dream home!
Glad you liked it
Just beautiful, wow. Absolutely love the attention to detail; everything is very well thought out and taken into consideration, and not to mention, it all LOOKS really clean and great. I really love how the lounge in the back is a smaller extension of the theatre with that tv. Excellent set up and video!! 👍🏾
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
Looks incredible! I can't wait to do this one-day in our home!!
We hope we can help! Thanks for watching!
hope you have $100,000 laying around
This is great, love the gear rack in the "other" room, that's gonna through a lot of heat and make noise, so that's usually overlooked.... however, you mentioned that the user can change the temp in the room, but there's no HVAC vents? I didn't see you install any in the time lapse? I just see a mini split over the door. Was ventilation an afterthought in this design or was the vent a source of sound bleeding? that is, would the sound travel through the vents and into other areas of the house? What are you doing about vibration control? Did you sound proof more than just using rockwool in the walls? did you double up on the sheetrock? One issue I find is when I'm watching a movie in a room like this, is the sound just bleeds out and vibrates and shakes the rest of the house and annoys other family members who might be sleeping. Part of the enjoyment of a room like this is that you can go watch a movie at full volume and not disturb the other family members, if you know what I mean. The best design for this that i've seen was a guy who designed a room inside a room. You would have to open two sets of doors to get in, but the benefit was that he had full air ventilation and his own hvac zone, and there was no sound leak or vibration even at full volume.
Thanks for watching. The insulation worked out great. The homeowner tells us he can play things as loud as he wants while the family sleeps quietly nearby. There is a split system which was done that way on purpose
Cool theater, thanks for sharing! 2 nitpicks: music was a bit loud and being an exclusive dealer means you are the only one selling a product.
Thanks for the feedback! We are the exclusive online retailer at this time.
1 of the Best home theatre i ever seen..
Thank you!
Wow! This is absolutely beautiful. Another amazing job by Audio Advice. Well done guys. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the best video I’ve seen on your channel. Really great work on the home theater AND on the video. Very interesting and informative from beginning to the end. Great use of references to other videos while still sharing the main points.
Would love to have a home theater exactly like this 👍🏻😊
Thanks for watching!
Great video! You guys did a solid job!! Great AV equipment! Please mention the brand name of the screen, and the brand and specs of the projector. Ohh and consider showing us the rack setup and connections! Is there any surge protection for the rack? Or power cleaning?? Also what is controlling the system? Is it the harmony remote? Would be able to give a ball park figure cost for a setup like this?
Very nicely thought , designed and executed .. Hope the final product really feels as gokgd as it look. You did a fine job guys!
Thank you!
I have been lucky enough to listen to a JBL synthesis system both at Cedia as well as the Harmon facility in Northridge California and it's the real deal. Nothing short of astounding!
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing and for watching our video.
It was great having you guys pull this design off in my house. Kids are loving how Dream’s Minecraft speed-runs sound on this bad boy. Appreciate all the work. PS LOVED your work in Goonies
how much was the building, paint etc of just the theatre room not including components?
Very very impressive, you guys! You all did an amazing job!
Thank you so much!
Hola de donde eres me puedes saludar me gustaria conocerte saludos
I only can dream of this setup 🤤

@@AudioAdvice im in an appartement. My room 11ftx11ft. I curently have a 75in Qled, bose acoustimass 10 series v, 24 2in sound proof foam at ear level spaced out and the back "wall"(3windows) is a giant Curtain( 3 different layers).
If i had a house i'd want something like what you've shown here. I just can't go crazy here for the neighbors sake lol.
Wow! What an amazing transformation. I bet this Theater Really Rocks!
It does!
this is by far the best home theater i've ever seen! wish that i can experience the magic that system produce!
Thank you!
Amazing home theater. Beautifully built and integrated with the game room too.
Glad you like it!
Great focus on acoustic treatment of the room. That is something that tends to over looked or not highly focused on with many DIY home theaters.
You are 110% right. We see so many rooms with tons of money spent on the gear and zero on the acoustic treatment and we feel proper acoustic treatment is the most important component. Thank you for watching!
This is amazing. This is my dream. Good job with everything🙌🏼
Thanks. We appreciate your comments
Well done👍@Audio Advice . We make a lot of home theaters in India & we really appreciate you people for your passion & showing quality content to people😊 starting from scratch the care you have taken to get the best outcome & treating acoustics well which is the crucial part of any home theatre to get the best sound experience it was more kind of facts . We wish you all the best from team USK Home Theatres Hyderabad India🙏
Thanks!
This is what should be used when people say Next Level! This is the room I want when I grow up, I'm 44 so time is running out!
Gorgeous theater!
Thank you!
Home Theater top das galáxias, muito bom mesmo. Não sabia que a JBL fabricava amplificadores.
Thanks for watching!
Isn’t the cover on the window going to be a problem with moisture long term?
Great question. To prevent any issues we have several large silica gel packets sitting inside the window casing to prevent any moisture buildup. The window is also accessible from the outside so that these can be changed out as needed. Thanks for watching!
Having both a PS5 and Xbox is by far the biggest flex of this whole setup.
Thanks very much
Damn! So cool to see what building an ultimate super premium home theater looks like.
Thank you very much!
Parabéns, pelo belo trabalho.
Excelente projeto de áudio.
I can't afford $100K until then I'll settle for $10 at the movie theatre
If you went to the movies twice a week it would take you over 95 years to spend $100k on tickets too.
Tbh as awesome as a home cinema is, the feeling of going to the cinema, buying tickets and everything is what makes cinema so good for me. I would rather save the 100k, buy a nice car and go to the cinema all the time :D
@@basil5863 I agree, walking in and smelling the popcorn is part of the experience. If I was rich enough I'd have a $100k home theater but still go to theaters for the experience and of course for new movies you can't watch anywhere else.
@@zackj997 Having your own home theater is priceless.
@@basil5863 The way streaming services have access to new film releases, cinema attendance will only decrease further and put more of them it of business.
Had the perfect room with exposed walls to build it.
We love starting with a blank canvas! When moving, the homeowner looked specifically for a house that had a rectangular room above the garage to allow them to build out their dream theater. We were just excited to be a part of creating such an amazing space that their family can enjoy for many years to come! Thanks for watching!!
I agree after years of trying to use high end speakers in my home theater I tried some pro audio speakers. I remember seeing the blue man group in vegas and researched what the sound system they used was as the sound was great. They used D&B Audiotechnik. I outfitted my theater with these speakers and sure they were massive overkill for the size, but WOW how good they sound.
This is a beautiful job, if i had the money these are definitely the people i would want doing my install.
Thank you
The room costs more than my house most likely.
It’s still funny how American houses are built
Truly amazing how you started with one thing and turned it into a completely different space! The JBL Synthesis sounds awesome and I look forward to more content!
Thanks a lot!
You can Never ever hear it the way it supposed to on you tube.., wish we was there!! Mahalo for sharing!!
Yes, it is virtually impossible to tell as you are listening to the micrphone and your own speakers along with all the YT compression. Thanks for watching and commenting
Very good home theatre build.
I bet the home owner had a smile wider than the Jokers' when they saw the finished room.
They were definitely grinning ear to ear when they got to see the finished product! Thanks for watching!!
The professionalism deserves applause. Great presentation sir. More than the setup I like the presenter 👍🙂
Thank you kindly
Goals. Absolute goals.
I watch this video regularly because it is kinda satisfying for me to see this home theatre. I think it's due to my wish to own one like this.
Glad you enjoyed it

That is the Audio Advice code of conduct! Thanks for watching and commenting
I've always enjoyed the bass aspect of a movie theater and how it sounds. Love the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Incredible home cinema. Small nitpick for me would be the light reflections off the walls and ceiling. The room was lighting up like a Christmas tree during the demo sequence which would be detrimental to immersion and would reduce the perceived contrast ratio.
Black velvet would be able to absorb the light but the client might not be happy with the overall look. Otherwise everything else looks absolutely superb. Fantastic job.
Thank you, yes the reflections are always an issue with any system. However the video makes it look far more exaggerated than it actually is in real life. We used a matte paint finish. Thanks for watching
amazing set up.
do the consoles in the racks have much ventilation? would they overheat being crammed in like that?
There is a temperature sensor in the rack that will turn on fans to cool it if it gets too hot.
normally don't watch random recommended YT vids but this caught my eye. incredible job and cant believe you're right here in raleigh. 👍
Thanks! Yes, we have been in business 44 years in Raleigh and have a Charlotte NC location as well. Please drop by our store on Glenwood Ave, we have some great sound rooms and home theaters, Open Tues-Fri 10-7 and Sat 10-6
Paradise for Cinema Lovers. 🎥🎞️🖤
Thank you! We agree
That’s a nicely designed room. The lighting job is my favorite part. Well done
Glad you like it!
This video was truly amazing, the fact that you had the whole build, setup, and even a complete breakdown on what you did and how everything works and why is amazing. Keep up the great content man! Also if you don't mind me asking, how did you get started working in this type of area? How did you learn all the information about the audio and technical components? it's very interesting to me.
Glad you liked it! Years of experience. Thanks for watching
I did something very similar in my man cave, but at a much cheaper cost haha. I'm NOT this rich lol. Your setup here is much nicer!!, beautiful setup.
I got a 120" projector that drops down in front of my 65" LG OLED. I got a dedicated laptop going to an 8 way splitter to hit up, 8 TVS throughout the house :) Not just the basement, upstairs too. I got a pool table area as well with a 24" tv in the corner like a bar setup. Another receiver with 2 more speakers in the ceiling. I got 2 more rooms in the basement, computer/music room with my turntable (record player) and a work bench. The 2nd room I call the "Retro Room" old school game systems, 2 CRT tv. 27 inch trinitron and a 32 inch panasonic. A 65" rear projection mitsubishi that the previous homeowner left in the house. My main audio setup is Yamaha receiver 7.1 setup. 600 watt Klipsch sub. Polk audio and infiniti speakers. The receiver on my recrod player btw is a Sony with a polk audio sub with klipsch speakers.
Thanks for sharing, it sounds like you have fun in your man cave!
@@AudioAdvice I had to make a major edit lol "I'm NOT this rich" I did best for what I have and had. I wasn't bragging. MAJOR mistake by forgetting to write "not" where it was needed lol
You could very well be getting a call to Sweden to build me a superb home cinema - Massively impressed!!
Great Vlog!
Thankyou.
Let us know 😊
love your passion and excitement when you share about your work. Love from India.
Thank you so much!
Looks amazing! I love the large sofa in the front! Also the acoustic panels are great!
