@@BuildMontage for this " Between your and TechnoDad, pretty much most of what I’ve learned has come from your channels." I am smashing that sub button . Keep up the good work !!!!
Man...what a treat to go back and watch this video after watching your channel grow since I came across it 6 months ago. Look at that little beard!!!! Look how much your room has changed in the last few months.
Thanks brother... it feels like a lifetime ago! At least I have this video as the one that kicked off my Home Theater journey as well as a piece of history for when I forget how the room used to look!
Oh yeah, I know my setup is far from perfect, it's DIY, there are some amazing no expense spared home theatres, but I'm trying to show what you can do yourself with a modest budget. Thanks for commenting and join our discord if you want to share your progress.
Very nice home theater. I always like to see people using “consumer“ products such as Plex, Synology or Denon in a home cinema. It shows the real potential of these components. They can keep up with way more expensive setups while being more flexible in upgrading oder expanding. Thanks for showing and keep it up! Greetings from Switzerland
Only 1K subs?? Not sure how you ended up on my feed but I’m glad your channel did, srsly one of the best looking theater rooms I’ve seen as well as fantastic video editing 👍🏽
I'm watching this video again like the first time. It's awesome to see the progress you made in your production quality over the months you've been doing this. This setup was great, but the new setup is every ever greater! #WallofSound
Awesome set up! I also have a atmos theater room running plex with a nas. You didn't show it but if you didn't know, through Alexa I can tell it to select a movie on plex. I also have LIFX lights, can you share some info on how to set up the lights with the effects on the movie. I would like to set up that feature. Thanks and looking forward to more of your videos
Hi Joe, sure thing I have it all setup with voice commands I just prefer a remote. I’m saving my NAS setup for a future video. I have a video on how to sync plex with LIFX. Take a look on my channel page :)
@@BuildMontage Just watched the video I'll use the excuse that it's 12:15am but the installation is way over my head lol. I'll try again tomorrow and install the software on my Nas.thanks and I also subscribed ;-)
I also have the klipsch 250c. Great center channel and it has a decent amount of bass, more than my klipsch 28fs. Definitely upgrade your subwoofer. I used to own 2 Klipsch 12sw’s and upgraded to 1 SVS pb4000 and it made a huge improvement. It made my system sound more like an actual movie theater. That’s honestly the best way for me to describe it. It doesn’t have that boomy bass that the klipsch had but more of a deep low end bass that you would hear in an actual theater.
I think there are a few differences between the R-12SWi and the R-12SW, i think in cabinet dimension, but I'm sure it's probably pretty close. I would LOVE SVS subs, but in Australia they are really expensive. My subs are around $1500 AUD and the SVS is around $4500 each! I'm not super impressed with the Klipsch ones, but they give decent bass while watching a movie, but I think it's more because they need to be EQ'd better than I have done it. I don't think I've tuned them properly if I'm honest. Still, it's a small room so they two r12s fill the space in proportion to the rest of the sound. Thanks for commenting!
Build Montage I just looked up the specs and they are the exact same in every aspect except that the 12swi are wireless. My next speakers and subs are going to be DIY. Going to go with the ultimax 18” subwoofer in a mini Marty box. I’m thinking HTM 12’s for my front stage. You should go the DIY way for your next sub. More bang for your buck, at least here in the US not sure about the prices in your country. That’s crazy about the price of the SVS. I bought my pb4000 for $2047 USD after tax. Wish I could go back in time and tell myself to just build two 18” subs instead. Also when I upgraded from the klipsch to the SVS I was hearing bass that I’ve never heard with the klipsch subs. They were never able to play very low (only 29hz) so I was missing out on A LOT of bass.
OK, cool! Your DIY project sounds pretty awesome. I'm definately going to consider DIY as I like making things, especially for the home theater (about to release a new vid on DIY movie poster acoustic panels!) but here in Australia, we get ripped hard with prices especially the imported US speakers like Klispsch. Good luck with your project - I'd be interested to see how it turns out.
Build Montage if you’re on FB you should join some of the Home Theater groups on there. The guys that post on there have inspired me to go the DIY route. One guy on there sold all his SVS ultra towers, ultra surrounds and pb4k and built the exact same set up that I’m eventually going to build. Funny thing is it’s all inside his apartment. Here’s a pic: i.imgur.com/E9ugAap.jpg He actually has some videos on YT of his old SVS 13.1 auro3D set up. His channel is CJ18 if you’re interested in seeing his old set up.
Carlos A oh yeah I’m a member of a lot of those HT groups and regularly share my vids in there and get advice from the community. I’ll check out those links.
Been watching your videos for a while. This setup is a dream. Only just got my first 4k TV (65" Samsung) this March and even that was a huge step up. Next is getting a small 3.1 setup (small apartment) but need to find a receiver that will have the room to grow when I can have a dedicated theatre room.

This is awesome! So good to see someone from Australia too show off their theatre and tech. Great TH-cam channel too. It seems you've got a plan and thought it through. Looking forward to the Plex and NAS video!
Just came across this video again. Oldie, but a goodie! Oh man...how much your room has changed! Epic intro is still epic! RIP Klipsch, bring on Krix! The old rack is still sexy AF. It's fun to see what has NOT changed since this video. LIFX is still there. Wall color is still same. Carpet as well. Screen I think as well. But everything else has changed? Speakers, switches, subs, seating, rack, AVR, amps, star ceiling...what else...the beard! Fun to see the upgrades over the past few years
Just subscribed. Have the exact same size room that I will be turning into a theater room and this gave me more then enough inspiration to go with my build 👌
Hey mate, I'm interested in learning more about how you programmed the lights to come on when you hit pause and go off when you play. Would you be able to do a video and go indepth into that? Thanks.
Have you added any defusers to your led light strips cause my theater seat has lights under and when the seat is reclined it’s so bright and I need to defuse the light so it’s not so direct in your face
I would go for the largest size possible. I got a 120” projector screen in mine so it may be a great idea to check in the store by measuring the distance from your seated position. It’s best to start with your seated position first.
Not sure. A local company made them for us. They don’t bleed any light but from an angle they sort of can see light just a little through a crack but it’s very very slight.
Well, I might do a video on that, BUT I have a video dropping in a couple of ours doing something similar but making movie poster acoustic panels :) make sure u sub and it will drop into your feed (final edits as we speak!)
@@BuildMontage just watched, very cool. I actually thought that is what your foam posters were. How much total would you say each one of those acoustic posters cost to make?
8:16 now this part is a fantastic idea to make a video on because I am not aware of anyone else but you to use that cool feature. I have a home theater myself and find that the turning on of rgb lights when hitting pause would be one for the coolest things in my theater.Please make a video on it! BTW, this video is really stunning!
Well done 👍 . 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🙏
HarmonySpan is the best option out there to control lighting on play and pause. Tony has several videos about it, but you can also hope into discord to further discuss. The software was published by one of the discord member - true power of the home theater community
Love the lighting I've been looking at a Lutron system but they're very costly for even basic home theatre needs. I would love to see a lighting video in the future. 5stars.
Hi tony , loved the set up. Wanted to have similar Downlight . Can you let me know how far they from wall and what rim have you used around it ( any link will be usefull )?
Hi tony .did you have any rim around downlights to have directional effect If you can show picture of it or suggest where to purchase from , will be great. .Many thanks for your help.
Hi there - I have lots of videos on my channel with a couple on lighting, so be sure to click on my channel name and browse the videos :) Jump on our Discord server as well if you'd like to know more! (Links in the description!)
Hi Tony I met you in Bunnings Gregory Hills today. Interesting stuff your doing even though i dont have an entertainment room or even a tv. I enjoy looking at how you put your channel together etc. Might have a go at starting a channel myself as we discussed. I enjoyed your enthusiasm while talking. Hey I subscribed and will follow you with interest. Kind regards Alick
Hi Alick, great to meet you today! This was my very first home theater video - you can see my latest video the big upgrade I'm doing which we discussed today at Bunnings with the new speakers and the star ceiling :) Hope you feel inspired enough to make your own channel and share your knowledge with the community!
Unfortunately I don't know the name of the carpet as we did it during the building colour selection process back in 2018, but it is a plush carpet that was supplied by DiLorenzo Tiles in Bella Vista (near Sydney).
Nice work mate. I have a "multi purpose" room with home theatre I've built over the years. Living in Melbourne under lockdown so have some spare time to research upgrades and your style is very similar to mine. I'd love to hear more about your appleTV / Plex / mac mini / LIFX setup as I use most of these componants. What are some of the pro's and con's you've found during your setup etc.
Hey Brad, I typed a reply but I dont think it saved... hope the lockdown is lifted soon! If you like, on my channel, you can find my latest updates on my theater, and I have other videos which answer your specific questions! The Plex/Lifx has evolved quite a bit, so check out my channel if you like, there are a tonne of videos on all things home theater setup. We also have a Discord server with a thriving community - so jump on and we can chat real time - the link is in the description for Discord.
Build Montage Yeah stage 4 lockdown has been tough on the family but things could be worse. We’re blessed to still have jobs which can’t be said for many. Been binging your vids all afternoon haha! Quality content with great practical advise. Next steps for me will be in lighting. Harmony hub is on the agenda but might try the Plex pause hack. Great idea and still surprised this isn’t a built in feature. I’ll most definitely check out the Discord channel.
Thinking of everyone down there. Definitely jump on the Discord if you can, we have a few Mexicans on ;) And yes the Plex/Lifx workaround I ended up decomissioning for the Harmonyspan option from my good friend Logan from @twoguyztech so check out that video if you like for some more improved functionality.
Hi Tom, sure thing - you can watch a full review on it I made here: th-cam.com/video/log2c5OkcWM/w-d-xo.html and they are called Sentinal Recliners from AMart Furnature!
Very nice set up mate. I'm interested in the lighting. How did u get it to come on and off with pause and play. I have logistics harmony elite. Not sure if that would work or not. What lights do u reccomend I use ? Thanks
@@BuildMontage To add to what Tony shared, HarmonySpan is the bridge needed between lightning and Logitech Harmony. Tony has several videos on it and has links to the software that he runs
What would have improved things dramatically is an acoustic screen and have three identical, vertical speakers fire directly through it. If you had no room behind the screen, you could use in-wall's. Woven screens only need to have the speakers a few inches away from the material.
I’m fairly certain Apple TV only supports DD+ Atmos and even with that I’m not sure how Plex handles that. Your leaving a lot of audio performance on the table by using that streamer VS something that can play the full lossless tracks if you have the media.
Hi Steven - which country are you in? Why not join our Discord server. I'm doing a full conversion as we speak to put speakers behind my screen. (Links in the description) And new video dropping tonight showing all of this stuff :D
@@can5projects563 oh thats awesome - if you join the Discord server, I can have a chat with you about this. I am dropping a new video tonight which may show you what I'm doing as well which can show you behind the speaker setup!
Love your work mate! Question for you mate, do you play any games on that projector. Tempted to get the same one or just go with an OLED. Could you make a video of you gaming on it ect?
I was just asked that question and no, I don’t game on it at all. The input lag would be horrendous and I’m a PC gamer (my earlier videos on my channel will prove this!) if you are after a good projector for gaming, consider the optoma uhd50, it’s only 1080p but is designed for gaming.
"...back in 2007 when literally no one had home theaters..." Almost spit out my coffee there. Don't be delusional. My first home theater was in 2003. When I started, I was YEARS behind the other hometheater trendsetters I was following on AVS Forum. My first projector for my 8 seat, two-tier level, hometheater was a $12K, Marantz VP12S1, projecting on a 120-inch screen. Back then, I had used MyHTPC, then MainLobby, then XLobby, then Windows Media Center for my media server frontend before settling on Plex. Audio setup was 7.2 at the time and my two 12 inch subs would set off the car alarm in the garage on the other side of the wall. Automated lighting was with old X10 technology controlled through the media frontend. My remote controller was a ProGear, windows tablet PC.
Sorry I didn't mean to cause such a reaction by my comment, but I do stand by it. In Australia, having theaters in homes is a relatively new thing in the mainstream. Yes, there were people that had them, sure, like any niche hobby, but now, home theaters are commonly included in plans for new homes instead of the traditional "formal lounge and dining". Your setup sounds really good BTW. I used to use WMC as well before PLEX which I think I got into around 2010. Thanks for sharing your feedback.
You have a nice set up the sound good and you did a good job on it and do think two channel amp for your front speakers made a different to your sound ? .
Basically I used the 2 channel amp for two of my atmos speakers which left the main reciever for the front sound stage. Thanks for commenting. Basically I had to to make it 7.2.4 over 5.2.4.
Amazing video All I have is a budget 5.1 system two Polk t15 towers t30 center and old kicker speakers where I replaced the speaker for rears. It’s good for me.
DaDevastator24_7 thanks. What do you mean by linking? All the audio cables are 16 gauge speaker wire terminated with gold plated banana plugs. There is a high speed 18gbps HDMI cable connecting the projector to the Reciever as well as all of my devices like Apple TV and Mac mini server. I guess I chose Pioneer by recommendation. I was going to go with the 11 channel but it was considerably more expensive and I changed my mind from 5.2.4 to 7.2.4 after I’d purchased it so an additional map was the cheaper option.
Build Montage sorry I meant to say liking*. Makes sense... most you tubers day that maranta and denon are one of the best brands to get, but I disagree with that. Idk if it’s just me, but Pioneer and Yamaha sound better than Denon & Marantz for home theater.
Very nice HT! Also one of the best HT videos I’ve seen on You Tube in the last 6 months. I just finished mine back in December 2019, and our setups are nearly identical-great job!
I love it. You did the right decisions, many small subs instead of 1 large out, in wall surrounds so that they are further away from the listening position. Theater seats that don't hit the left and right walls. Carpet, blacked out room. But there is this thing that bugs me. You said you build this room from the ground up. Why no go with speakers behind the screen ?
Thank you, I made a few mistakes of course, and one of them was speakers behind the screen. That was my original plan and I even have the speaker cables wall plates in the middle of the wall, however, two reasons. The first was I wanted inwall originally but the depth of the cavity was too shallow of the speakers I wanted, and two I couldn’t fit the screen in front and by the time I realised this, it was too late and the builder is too rigid and don’t allow changes without big penalties once construction has started. I do plan on getting a AT screen and somehow getting the speakers behind the screen but I have to really try and think about how it will work.
Great use of space available for best results. About to start planning my man cave downstairs with similar dimensions too so to see this was very cool and unique. I love my Plex too and would be interested to see a separate video on your server and rack run through too. Great work brother 👊🏻
Great setup mate! I'm about to start my own home theater. I know what you mean about lighting, I'm exactly the same :) I'm currently working on a 6m x 4m starfield ceiling. Wish you lived in Brissy!
Isky thanks mate appreciate it!! Star ceiling is in my list of videos but once I finish everything. Just uploaded my latest update which is acoustic panels. Are you doing diy for your star ceiling. Would love to have a chat with u about it.
@@BuildMontage G'day buddy. Yep DIY is definitely the way to go mate. In fact mine may be revolutionary. I'm going to see if I can get a nebula or 2 on it as well :) A lot of research involved though. If you're going to do it I think the main bit of advice (if you want it looking as natural as possible) is not to have all the stars twinkling. 50% twinkle and 50% static. a bit more expense and effort but well worth it. I think trying to get the gear is the main issue. My cinema will be 5.5m x 8m with a 170-175" 2.35:1 Audio transparent screen. Would love to show you some screen shots of the 3D renders I've done :)
@@anthonyjaisingh sounds incredible... ive been researching star ceilings for about 3 years now in preparation for the new house.. be great to see your renders.. my email is on my channel. Drop me an email if you like :)
Good question. I actually cover this in later videos. Basically the rear recliners are pushed right up against the back wall so any sound in wall or in wall will travel past the ears. My latest video on my channel explains this in more detail. Thanks for watching!
@@BuildMontage thnx for the reply I’m in Wyong central Coast... I’m building a house in few months time .. would love to get your input for the home theatre setup ... I’m kind of stuck with the requirements ...
I really appreciate it :) I have a plan for this channel with a video at least once a week at this stage due to how much work goes into shooting and editing with a fulltime job it's all I can manage but I have a schedule so stay tuned and thanks again for the comment.

Jeremiah Powell the diffusers will soften the look and help spread the light around as well.
Build Montage what I hate my chair came with it and it didn’t come with defusers on them
Jeremiah Powell that’s a shame. Hopefully u can make something to fix it
awesome setup mate. I got a room 3x4.6 that will become a cinema room. what are the best colours to paint this room?
I went matte black. I’m in the middle of ripping this apart as we speak. Plastere just left so it’s going to be repainted in matte black again
What is a good size tv for this 3x4.6 meters room?
I would go for the largest size possible. I got a 120” projector screen in mine so it may be a great idea to check in the store by measuring the distance from your seated position. It’s best to start with your seated position first.
Hey Tony, what shutters are you using? And do they bleed much light?
Not sure. A local company made them for us. They don’t bleed any light but from an angle they sort of can see light just a little through a crack but it’s very very slight.
Thanks mate. I’m in Australia, so if you have the name of the company that would be great place to start. System looks great by the way.
Sure, the company is Highland Shutters. The owners name is Shannon.
Thanks mate. Appreciate it.
I love the foam board posters. Would love to see how you did that
Well, I might do a video on that, BUT I have a video dropping in a couple of ours doing something similar but making movie poster acoustic panels :) make sure u sub and it will drop into your feed (final edits as we speak!)
@@BuildMontage right on man, thanks
Videos dropped. I might do another one on the foam boards too! But more like a tutorial
@@BuildMontage just watched, very cool. I actually thought that is what your foam posters were. How much total would you say each one of those acoustic posters cost to make?
Hi sir can u pls tell me how lighting will adjust the colors with pause play and even with movie colors
Hi there, you can watch that in my other video :) th-cam.com/video/on3LRovqyyY/w-d-xo.html
8:16 now this part is a fantastic idea to make a video on because I am not aware of anyone else but you to use that cool feature. I have a home theater myself and find that the turning on of rgb lights when hitting pause would be one for the coolest things in my theater.Please make a video on it! BTW, this video is really stunning!
Thanks so much!!!
I’m doing the final edits as we speak on that topic!! It will drop very soon so make sure to subscribe :)
The new vid on this is UP!
Re-watching this video today. Laugh at how you changed in the last year! Wall of Sound by Krixx and a whole new room today!! Who would have thought??
I know - it's nuts... but a lot can happen in a year :)
@@BuildMontage Oh so true!!But at least for you it was better@@@
@@lesmatthews459 in some ways...
@@BuildMontage In some ways???? Aren't you happy with it?
Superb setup👏👏👏 love from Kerala,India🙂🙂
Thanks for the support :)
I just instantly subscribed great video sir u deserve more subs
Thanks for the sub!
I want to know more about integrating dolby atmos with plex!?! Do you have another video explaining what you do?
PLEX server can do Atmos - however - PLEX player on ATV cannot - limited to 7.1 TRUEHD. You can get Atmos on rips using the Shield Pro.
Well done 👍 . 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🙏
That’s one heck of a sweeeeettt setup Antho !
Thanks Jaso!!! Still have a few things planned but mostly done!
Great job! One of the best HT videos I’ve seen on TH-cam.
I love it, looks great- how do you get the lights to come one when you pause - do you set it up with the logitech harmony elite? Thanks
Yes, I have some updated videos since this on on my channel.
@@BuildMontage thanks for the quick reply! I've subscribed
Thanks be got vids on the lights on my channel page :)
HarmonySpan is the best option out there to control lighting on play and pause. Tony has several videos about it, but you can also hope into discord to further discuss. The software was published by one of the discord member - true power of the home theater community
gorgeous theater man, really like the setup!
Thanks a ton!
what sconce light fixtures are you using
These are very similar to the ones I got as I cant find the same ones as through my builder: amzn.to/3eLDdmT
Love the lighting I've been looking at a Lutron system but they're very costly for even basic home theatre needs. I would love to see a lighting video in the future. 5stars.
thanks!! you are in luck. my latest video about to drop is in depth on how i did my lighting so be sure to sub and hit the bell :)
Hi tony , loved the set up. Wanted to have similar Downlight . Can you let me know how far they from wall and what rim have you used around it ( any link will be usefull )?
Hi Dihrendra, there should be links in the description to the downlight you can purchase from AU Amazon.
Thanks tony . I already have a light . Wanted to check how far approximately was it from the wall
Around 15cm in from the edge of the wall.
Awesome ..Thanks tony for your help
Hi tony .did you have any rim around downlights to have directional effect
If you can show picture of it or suggest where to purchase from , will be great. .Many thanks for your help.
Do you have a link to the chairs you're using? I'm looking for some non-leather options and like the way yours look. Great intro btw.
Amart recliners from here in Australia. I did a video on them on my channel a while back.
Would love to know more about the play/pause feature of your lights
Hi there - I have lots of videos on my channel with a couple on lighting, so be sure to click on my channel name and browse the videos :) Jump on our Discord server as well if you'd like to know more! (Links in the description!)
Fast n Furious.. to current setup 🙌
.. video editing skills and vision for the future always there. Get by with a little help from my friends 👍
Yes the video that started my TH-cam journey with Home Theatre
Hi Tony
I met you in Bunnings Gregory Hills today. Interesting stuff your doing even though i dont have an entertainment room or even a tv. I enjoy looking at how you put your channel together etc. Might have a go at starting a channel myself as we discussed. I enjoyed your enthusiasm while talking. Hey I subscribed and will follow you with interest.
Kind regards
Alick
Hi Alick, great to meet you today! This was my very first home theater video - you can see my latest video the big upgrade I'm doing which we discussed today at Bunnings with the new speakers and the star ceiling :) Hope you feel inspired enough to make your own channel and share your knowledge with the community!
Mate what was the Carpet you said you were using in the room ? Can you please post the product link for the carpet.
Unfortunately I don't know the name of the carpet as we did it during the building colour selection process back in 2018, but it is a plush carpet that was supplied by DiLorenzo Tiles in Bella Vista (near Sydney).
Nice work mate. I have a "multi purpose" room with home theatre I've built over the years. Living in Melbourne under lockdown so have some spare time to research upgrades and your style is very similar to mine. I'd love to hear more about your appleTV / Plex / mac mini / LIFX setup as I use most of these componants. What are some of the pro's and con's you've found during your setup etc.
Hey Brad, I typed a reply but I dont think it saved... hope the lockdown is lifted soon! If you like, on my channel, you can find my latest updates on my theater, and I have other videos which answer your specific questions! The Plex/Lifx has evolved quite a bit, so check out my channel if you like, there are a tonne of videos on all things home theater setup. We also have a Discord server with a thriving community - so jump on and we can chat real time - the link is in the description for Discord.
Build Montage Yeah stage 4 lockdown has been tough on the family but things could be worse. We’re blessed to still have jobs which can’t be said for many. Been binging your vids all afternoon haha! Quality content with great practical advise. Next steps for me will be in lighting. Harmony hub is on the agenda but might try the Plex pause hack. Great idea and still surprised this isn’t a built in feature. I’ll most definitely check out the Discord channel.
Thinking of everyone down there. Definitely jump on the Discord if you can, we have a few Mexicans on ;) And yes the Plex/Lifx workaround I ended up decomissioning for the Harmonyspan option from my good friend Logan from @twoguyztech so check out that video if you like for some more improved functionality.
Very very impressive.Love you Home Theater Systems ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Loved the lighting w/ the wall art!
Yay, thank you!
Beautiful setup
Thats my dream home theater setup.. So Jealous..Subbed!!
May I ask what brand the 3 seat "sofa" is on the second row? I like what looks like the relative compactness of it. Thanks Tom
Hi Tom, sure thing - you can watch a full review on it I made here: th-cam.com/video/log2c5OkcWM/w-d-xo.html and they are called Sentinal Recliners from AMart Furnature!
Very nice set up mate. I'm interested in the lighting. How did u get it to come on and off with pause and play. I have logistics harmony elite. Not sure if that would work or not. What lights do u reccomend I use ? Thanks
Thanks! I've changed my theater setup since then, but here's another video I made: th-cam.com/video/Gqjma5_ZAYo/w-d-xo.html
@@BuildMontage To add to what Tony shared, HarmonySpan is the bridge needed between lightning and Logitech Harmony. Tony has several videos on it and has links to the software that he runs
What would have improved things dramatically is an acoustic screen and have three identical, vertical speakers fire directly through it. If you had no room behind the screen, you could use in-wall's. Woven screens only need to have the speakers a few inches away from the material.
Hmm... interesting... maybe check out my later videos to see how my room is now ;)
I’m fairly certain Apple TV only supports DD+ Atmos and even with that I’m not sure how Plex handles that. Your leaving a lot of audio performance on the table by using that streamer VS something that can play the full lossless tracks if you have the media.
Sounds pretty good to me :) however I'm looking for a oppo player at the moment + the room still needs some acoustic treatment. Always more to do.
Amazing set up BTW. 👍

Question about projector screens. 120" size and speakers behind the screen Any recommendations?
Hi Steven - which country are you in? Why not join our Discord server. I'm doing a full conversion as we speak to put speakers behind my screen. (Links in the description) And new video dropping tonight showing all of this stuff :D
Build Montage im al ready on discord. Im in Sydney
@@can5projects563 oh thats awesome - if you join the Discord server, I can have a chat with you about this. I am dropping a new video tonight which may show you what I'm doing as well which can show you behind the speaker setup!
Excellent setup work sir Sony LED 32" 7.1 Home theatre dts surrounding system Panna mudiyuma sir?
Great theater!!
Thank you!
Does a home movie theater system really makes people feel like there at the movies
Not really but it ha it’s own experience which is very emmersive
Love your work mate! Question for you mate, do you play any games on that projector. Tempted to get the same one or just go with an OLED. Could you make a video of you gaming on it ect?
I was just asked that question and no, I don’t game on it at all. The input lag would be horrendous and I’m a PC gamer (my earlier videos on my channel will prove this!) if you are after a good projector for gaming, consider the optoma uhd50, it’s only 1080p but is designed for gaming.
Very nice bro
Nice video
"...back in 2007 when literally no one had home theaters..."
Almost spit out my coffee there. Don't be delusional. My first home theater was in 2003. When I started, I was YEARS behind the other hometheater trendsetters I was following on AVS Forum. My first projector for my 8 seat, two-tier level, hometheater was a $12K, Marantz VP12S1, projecting on a 120-inch screen. Back then, I had used MyHTPC, then MainLobby, then XLobby, then Windows Media Center for my media server frontend before settling on Plex. Audio setup was 7.2 at the time and my two 12 inch subs would set off the car alarm in the garage on the other side of the wall. Automated lighting was with old X10 technology controlled through the media frontend. My remote controller was a ProGear, windows tablet PC.
Sorry I didn't mean to cause such a reaction by my comment, but I do stand by it. In Australia, having theaters in homes is a relatively new thing in the mainstream. Yes, there were people that had them, sure, like any niche hobby, but now, home theaters are commonly included in plans for new homes instead of the traditional "formal lounge and dining".
Your setup sounds really good BTW. I used to use WMC as well before PLEX which I think I got into around 2010. Thanks for sharing your feedback.
People were trying to with 32 inch, me Loewe included . 100 inch JVC X3 now
You have a nice set up the sound good and you did a good job on it and do think two channel amp for your front speakers made a different to your sound ? .
Basically I used the 2 channel amp for two of my atmos speakers which left the main reciever for the front sound stage.
Thanks for commenting. Basically I had to to make it 7.2.4 over 5.2.4.
Thank you your reply I have subscribe
How time has changed from 4 years ago to now with the set-up you have now and the sound quite impressive sound with wall of sound Krix speakers 🔊.
Amazing video All I have is a budget 5.1 system two Polk t15 towers t30 center and old kicker speakers where I replaced the speaker for rears. It’s good for me.
Saludos desde PANAMA luces de Pelicula tu Cine en Casa
Love the videos and the beard mate cracking 👌🏼, would be great to know how you did that with lifx
Thanks mate, more vids on my channel page.
Build Montage have been having a watch looks the good
Kais Fullerton watch the one I made on the Harmony elite. It has a pinned comment with a link to a solution!
Build Montage yeah saw that one think I’m going go the control 4!
Nice setup... how are you liking the Pioneer VSX-LX503? Why did you go with Pioneer over other brands?
DaDevastator24_7 thanks. What do you mean by linking?
All the audio cables are 16 gauge speaker wire terminated with gold plated banana plugs. There is a high speed 18gbps HDMI cable connecting the projector to the Reciever as well as all of my devices like Apple TV and Mac mini server.
I guess I chose Pioneer by recommendation. I was going to go with the 11 channel but it was considerably more expensive and I changed my mind from 5.2.4 to 7.2.4 after I’d purchased it so an additional map was the cheaper option.
Build Montage sorry I meant to say liking*. Makes sense... most you tubers day that maranta and denon are one of the best brands to get, but I disagree with that. Idk if it’s just me, but Pioneer and Yamaha sound better than Denon & Marantz for home theater.
Very nice HT! Also one of the best HT videos I’ve seen on You Tube in the last 6 months. I just finished mine back in December 2019, and our setups are nearly identical-great job!
Wow, thanks!
What’s the name of your opening music of this video?
I love it. You did the right decisions, many small subs instead of 1 large out, in wall surrounds so that they are further away from the listening position. Theater seats that don't hit the left and right walls. Carpet, blacked out room. But there is this thing that bugs me. You said you build this room from the ground up. Why no go with speakers behind the screen ?
Thank you, I made a few mistakes of course, and one of them was speakers behind the screen. That was my original plan and I even have the speaker cables wall plates in the middle of the wall, however, two reasons. The first was I wanted inwall originally but the depth of the cavity was too shallow of the speakers I wanted, and two I couldn’t fit the screen in front and by the time I realised this, it was too late and the builder is too rigid and don’t allow changes without big penalties once construction has started.
I do plan on getting a AT screen and somehow getting the speakers behind the screen but I have to really try and think about how it will work.
@@BuildMontage Hope it works ! I dream of having something similar to yours.
I wish you the best of luck pursuing your home theater setup!
Where do you store your media cabinet? I'm having a hard time finding a potential place in my normal living room for one.
In my office closet away from everywhere. Check one of my latest vids I show my new rack and location.
Great use of space available for best results. About to start planning my man cave downstairs with similar dimensions too so to see this was very cool and unique. I love my Plex too and would be interested to see a separate video on your server and rack run through too. Great work brother 👊🏻
Thanks very much and noted! I’m working on a lighting video atm but after that will be on PLEX. Thanks for watching.
Love it but one thing. Red and blue aren't opposite on the color wheel
Technically no - teal and orange are, but blue and red are close to opposite and the colours go well together.
@@BuildMontage yeah. But they still fit together so well though. I agree with you on that.
Yes they go so well together. So many things use blue and red to compliment. I love that specific lighting scheme for my theater.
Great setup mate! I'm about to start my own home theater. I know what you mean about lighting, I'm exactly the same :) I'm currently working on a 6m x 4m starfield ceiling. Wish you lived in Brissy!
Isky thanks mate appreciate it!! Star ceiling is in my list of videos but once I finish everything. Just uploaded my latest update which is acoustic panels.
Are you doing diy for your star ceiling. Would love to have a chat with u about it.
@@BuildMontage G'day buddy. Yep DIY is definitely the way to go mate. In fact mine may be revolutionary. I'm going to see if I can get a nebula or 2 on it as well :) A lot of research involved though. If you're going to do it I think the main bit of advice (if you want it looking as natural as possible) is not to have all the stars twinkling. 50% twinkle and 50% static. a bit more expense and effort but well worth it. I think trying to get the gear is the main issue. My cinema will be 5.5m x 8m with a 170-175" 2.35:1 Audio transparent screen. Would love to show you some screen shots of the 3D renders I've done :)
@@anthonyjaisingh sounds incredible... ive been researching star ceilings for about 3 years now in preparation for the new house.. be great to see your renders.. my email is on my channel. Drop me an email if you like :)

Very nice work sir Sony LED 32" 7.1 mini home theater dts surrounding system Panna mudiyuma sir please
Great video, and love the setup! For the rear surrounds, how come you didn't go with on wall speakers or bookshelf speakers to get them at ear level?
Good question. I actually cover this in later videos. Basically the rear recliners are pushed right up against the back wall so any sound in wall or in wall will travel past the ears.
My latest video on my channel explains this in more detail.
Thanks for watching!
