I like how you showed the mounting of the svs prime elevations. You were able to angle them down more by the screw length at the top of the brackets. Did not know this. Thx!
7.2.4 is the way to go...my set up is the same as yours ...with couch on back wall ...was able to put the surround backs behind couch ...no problem ...you will notice a difference ! I have the SVS elevation also and i had a hard time getting the speaker mounted on the bracket to line up and sit right in their slots...phew....! but got it and put those plugs in....you made that part look so easy....should have had you come over and to do my install ...lol ....but my transporter was down ! Set up looks good! Hope you do the 7.2.4 ...got nothing to lose and everything to gain ! Of course in the future ....7.4.4??? lol
As always, I like your audio presentations. I like the same things in audio that you do but you are so far more advanced than me that I'm always lagging a step behind. But I get it. It's about that sound and I love it.
hey. that's exactly how I have SVS prime elevation mounted. Also, I do not evenly over my head, only on the sides of the couch. As you will do the calibration, I suggest 05-1m from the couch towards the fronts.
The back speakers is a definite must it will sound amazing. If you take your front heights and put them on ceiling as well like 3ft from walls and point tweeters at you it will change your game. Just a thought enjoy your amazing setup sir😁
Yes, get those side surrounds kicked out further and hook up those cantons as surround backs. I tried to go 5.1.4 but missed the surround back that I'm used to before atmos. I'm running 7.1.4 and happy.
@kpaceguy I have denon1600H..have 5.1 setup.. Buying Svs prime elevation Atmos speakers..what would be the best placement possible.. 1. Use it as heights over my tv..with less wiring and work..or 2. Fix it to the ceiling above my listening position which is bit complex Let me know which is best
Thank you for the videos what do recommend with an amplifier that only has the five channel capability. Can you run a separate sub connections is that a possibility? Thank you I love your videos that you do on TH-cam.
Real nice setup but I'd reposition your Canton upfiring speakers and use them as back surrounds. If possible, you may want to mount your projector on the ceiling as it looks like it's blocking the main seating position on your couch.
You run your projector next to your head? I had the same one and I ended up returning it due to how loud it was. It was very distracting in the room and I couldn't deal with it. I ended up going BACK to the optoma uhd60. I had returned that for other reasons (user error). Much quieter and the picture quality ended up being better. Only downsides is the massive size of the thing. Makes adjustments a bit harder.
@@Kpaceguy I had the optoma uhd51a. It's the one that came before the 3500 lumen upgrade. My experience with optoma projectors haven't been the best when it comes to noise. The noise is not with the fan but rather the color wheel. I am sensitive when it comes to noise so it may just be me personally.
I feel so old and out of touch with modern surround sound, like I'm Atari when they put out the Jaguar.... 7.what.huh? don't know the atmos lingo. Swapping the black and white grills was awesome. Everybody should try the Zeos technique of putting your surround channels on the floor shooting up against the wall. It works wonders. I have JBL GO 2's as surround channels in on the floor in the rear corners of my living room. It makes the surround channels image really well. It's ambient instead of blasting right in your ears. I'm going to put out a video about it soon. (Or eventually.)
Like that corner idea. Surround sound came out a long time ago but i was so happy when the 2 main front speakers played well that i just said I'll get to the rears later. Sometimes later came much later but still I hang on to the concept. Just slower. Love it.
You don’t think the Vento height speakers are better than the Elevation? Also why don’t you put your projector on the wall or ceiling? System looks good!
I do think they are better BUT the room makes the elevations a better option because of placement. I tried mounting it on the ceiling but the ceiling fan is an issue. When I move we'll have everything placed better. Thanks for the compliment!
@@Kpaceguy Ah okay, it just makes we wonder since I guess the elevations and the Vento highs could be placed the same way. Wall or ceiling. You could have a longer mount for the projector or mount it higher up on the wall. Maybe it doesn’t bother you :) Just some thoughts!
Hey KPG!.. I'm using Canton AR-500 as front firing Atmos speakers (5.1.2). THX recommends placing them between 30-45 degrees from your head at the listening position. You mention in this video that they should be firing directly at you. It's true that the angle of the Cantons are probably less than the SVS elevations. So mine are installed at about 30º, but this doesn't direct them directly at my head (approx. 18'' above my head). So my question is, are mine placed too high?
The cantons are hard to get correct because their angle is not steep enough. So it's not that they are too high it's that they aren't far enough away so that don't shoot over top your head. This is why I decided to buy another pair of elevations instead because if their angle.
How do you think the svs would have sounded against the back wall facing inwards? I have the same issue you have, with the couch against the back wall, but I can't drill into the ceiling. I'm currently running a 5.1.2 with the prime's in the front like yours, powered by a Denon 4500h, with Klipsch LR&C and Infinity bookshelfs for the rear.PB3000 for the sub. I would appreciate the advise. Great video as always.
Polk Reserve 200s arrived today. They gave me a 20% discount after Polkaudio canceled my 1st order. I'm starting to become intrigued by the Anthem av 540. It's 600 more than I have atm . I was about to buy the Yamaha Rxa2a for 599.99 open box from best buy . Seemed like a really good deal. Thoughts Kpaceguy? Thanks man 🔥🔥🔥
SVS hires 10 years old to head the engineering department. The first job is to put a Rear Port on a wall mounting speaker, the second job is to put a predetermined angle on the cabinet to make speaker alignment imposable. lastly, an overcomplicated crossover coupled with a high price tag ...Seriously...
Its nice to see that couch off the back wall!
I like how you showed the mounting of the svs prime elevations. You were able to angle them down more by the screw length at the top of the brackets. Did not know this. Thx!
No problem thanks for watching!
Awesome addition !!! Whole lotta jelly here....!!!
I appreciate it!
Great job by placing the prime elevation mounted on the ceiling that’s exactly what I did with My 4 elevation
I REALLY like the black grills on white cabinets.. Class.
beautiful right

Do what makes YOU happy! I appreciate you watching
@@Kpaceguy thanks. I like that.
The color coordination is perfect...
It's pretty nice
Something wrong with the front height bracket fitting I think seems little tilted down. It’s not like that it will be parallel to the wall.
its intentional
I love seeing people build their system and making upgrades and all the work that goes into it. Love your seating, what couch is that?
I can't remember. If I was at home and not work I'd tell you haha

You should definitely try to use those as back speakers.
Yes, get those side surrounds kicked out further and hook up those cantons as surround backs. I tried to go 5.1.4 but missed the surround back that I'm used to before atmos. I'm running 7.1.4 and happy.
I realize I'm pretty off topic but does anyone know a good site to stream new movies online?
@Devin Lyle i would suggest flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Gerardo Romeo yup, have been watching on flixzone for months myself :D
@Gerardo Romeo Thank you, I went there and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !
@Devin Lyle you are welcome :)
Nice speakers. Love the white.
Thank you
Btw, the white grilles look super clean on your black SVS speakers. Modern, sleek and unique.
I love it!

The complex option is always the best option but if it's too complex you can put them on the wall

Thank you I appreciate it. Are you talking about a 5 channel AV receiver?
Real nice setup but I'd reposition your Canton upfiring speakers and use them as back surrounds. If possible, you may want to mount your projector on the ceiling as it looks like it's blocking the main seating position on your couch.
I like the way you placed your Atmos speakers. Go ahead with a 7.1.4 speaker layout. 😁
I think you're right!
I disagree go 13.2.6...thats what i did....just waiting for release of avm90 ....good video
@@blueflame0003 definitely don't have the space or the speakers look
@@Kpaceguy yes i notice but you good anyway...great video

Why did svs choose to rear port these?
Just to help emphasize bass when up against the wall. Give the small driver some help and make a fuller sound

@@perrysmiles60 I think they're fine. If they were closer then we'd maybe considering the same switch up as I did
@@Kpaceguy Okay, thanks. I am waiting for my new center speaker to arrive, Canton SL556.2 Can you give me your opinion on this purchase please?
Can't go wrong with anything Canton
The frames you have is very beautiful ❤!! Are they soundproofing panels? If yes where can I get one
They aren't but I got them on Amazon
Your rug really ties the room together. Needs a vacuum tho...

It would have been fine because of their angle so it's an effective solution but a bit of sound will still fly over your head
@@Kpaceguy Thx, Have you seen any brackets that would add a little more angle? I may have to make some if not.
@@splat-shot871 any brackets that support the thread hole on the back of speakers will be fine

Right I like Cantona better but not for this room
