I'd love to hear a JTR setup like this one someday! I can only imagine how impressive it must be. Great theater tour and very nice home theater setup. Props to the owner!
Arnie is no Daniel Day Lewis, Anthony Hopkins, Denzil Washington etc and T2 isn't on film critics top 100 movies of all time. But I was a big Arnold fan when I was a kid. Saw Terminator 2 when I was 11, definitely one of the best sci-fi/action films of all time. Such a pity the Terminator 2 4k blu ray was a turd! I'm still rocking my T2 limited edition THX dvd.
Thank you! I have been an Arnold fan my entire life. Everything from Terminator, Aliens and Predator along with Comic Books have lead me to these statues and increased my love for movies, tv shows and games.
Hey youthman, just want to say thank you for the hard work in bringing all these videos to us. I’ve been waiting for someone to step up and show different theaters. Keep them coming.
VERY nice setup, bro! I think the best part of the whole thing might very well be that you have a supportive wife and friends (but especially wife). Keep it up!
The best setup of the videos I saw so far. Just love the superb blackout super well done. Awesome Batcave . PQ, SQ all plan very nicely. ***** 5 stars for me! Jerry Theatre!
@@Pitchcut29 Hey Jerry! Super cool setup you have there man. I live in Illinois as well, in the NW suburbs, but I have family in your area in Lockport. I would love to connect with you, and maybe visit your theater in the near future as I have been on the fence about buying some JTR speakers for mine and I've never heard them in person! Let me know. Thank you.
Not only is that an amazing home theater but I love all of the collectibles as well. My favorites are the turtles and my man Gambit. Thanks for sharing this Youthman
Thank you! Yes, she is awesome for supporting this and also helping me out with some of the last minute details. I think she just wanted it finally done.
In Mississippi we use 12 16" subwoofers or we go home! My cousins system has 34 18" subwoofers with a 370" screen and a Christie CineLife+ Series cinema projector!
The front subs may be using a bit more power due to OK placement but the subs in the rear are placed in a spot that provides the best frequency response so there is a ton of impact without requiring a ton of power. Placement is very important which is why I can apply a +16db bass curve while listening above reference all on a 20A breaker. Than you for checking it out!
@@Pitchcut29 What are you running the LFA adjusts at? I have 2 4000-tl's and i have both set at 8/10 clicks, and gain at 5/20. I blew my 20amp breaker with only 1 sub connected to it when playing madmax, cant remember the scene. I also have the HTP-1 and had a 6db house curve via dirac. I was only at -3db on the HTP-1. I was also running the BEQ filter for madmax. Not sure if maybe running that BEQ caused too much draw at the lower frequencies causing the breaker to trip. My other sub was on a 15amp circuit. Both tripped at that time. Only the subs are taking power from their respective circuits.
@@bledarney1 I have the LFA currently set at 6/10 clicks. I did trip my breaker on the beginning scene of the Greatest Showman but I was running it with a +10db curve, BEQ and all 4 4000s on a single 20A circuit. I plan to wire a few 20A circuits for the subs and and rack.
@@Pitchcut29 thanks for the reply, perhaps it's just the ultra low 10hz frequencies the beq has restored that pull all that extra jam. Just trying to sort out my issues because eventually I'd like to get a 3rd 4000. Cheers man, great room!
Amazing room, thank you for sharing it. I love the magnet modular fabric ceiling and side post. The HDMI port in the column is genius and I will be adding that since I have to run two more subwoofer cables
Dzieki Krzysiek! Love the black velvet but it was a lot of work and very time consuming. You could never have too many Caps and soo much headroom! Love your videos too! Pozdrawiam!
Insanely nice theater, Jerry! You really chose great components! One quick question - are you using the HTP-1 to EQ the subs or the MiniDSP? Again, awesome theater and great job Youthman!
Thank you, Jay! The HTP-1 handles all of the bass management on the subs via Dirac Bass Control. The miniDSP, which was hidden in the back of the rack, will be used to tune the Crownson MAs since it offers a bit more flexibility with lower crossover settings and slope settings.
@@Pitchcut29 I was thinking the same question. I’m not familiar with dirac but does it handle multiple subs? Or delay ect. Just curious how you got all the subs to sum as one and play nice together. That’s a very impressive system you have there!
@@thebrowncinema Dirac has a state of the art multi-sub optimization option called Bass Control or DLBC. It is somewhat similar to the Multi-sub Optimizer tool which can run on MiniDSPs (preferably the 2x4HD.)
@@robcohen oh wow. I had no idea. I would love to try dirac out and compare it to anthem arc that I use. Id like to see a video on how dirac uses that and how it works. Thanks for the info
Wow! Very nice theater. And all JTR. I guess there's no sense in playing around just get the best JTR. I have to say great job. I want to hear JTR speakers.
Thank you! I was originally planning on going with Focal until I heard JTR speakers at Axpona and I have been in love with the power, clean sound and how smooth they are. I decided to just get everything JTR.
@@Youthman I remember that Michael. And I see the smile on your face every time you talk about them too. lol. Do you know anyone in Georgia that has some JTRs I can go listen too? 😆 asking for a friend.....
Another enjoyable room tour, Michael and Jerry. Those LCR!! 😱 Also really like the movie memorabilia. 👏👍🏻 Out of interest - do those JTR overhead and surround/rear speakers have tweeters? Keep up the great work. 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you! Yes the JTR 110HTs have a compression tweeter just behind the center dust cover. It looks like just a woofer but up close the center dust cap is like another speaker grill for the sound to pass through.
Man! The money in some of these guys spend on their HT is astounding! Where does one earn, win or steal that much money? Most be nice. Congrats to those who's "ship came in".
Yesterday I had the opportunity to demo for 4 hours the new Christie Griffyn projector ($140,000). Next month they will be getting the Christie Eclipse ($400,000). Neither of those falls within the Youthman budget lol
@@Youthman WOW! Those units surely can serve duty in a movie theater! If you keep hanging around all of those guys with that kind of money, maybe it will rub off on ya. 😁 All my best to ya "Big Dog". Keep the vids comin' - really enjoy all of your work.
Thank you! The collectibles, including the 1/2 Terminator, are from Sideshow Collectibles. It is now sold out but the company along with Prime1 keep brining new statues out.
Thank you! Those are Ikea Billy Bookshelves with the optional doors with matching wood trim. It is just a tad bit deeper than I wanted but it works very well.
Hey Michael, does this guy have a TH-cam channel or any other way to contact him? I'm really excited about this particular theater room because he has a lot of the same speakers and equipment that I do, that I will be building my home theater with. I would like to pick his brain about a couple things. Great job as always. Look forward to your follow up video
Last time I shared a copyrighted clip, my channel received a copyright strike. If I receive three copyright strikes, TH-cam will delete my entire channel. Considering this is my primary source of income, it is not worth the risk.
Besides, how can you expect to hear frequencies below 20 Hz, not to mention a multi channel Dolby Atmos system that is recorded on a stereo lapel mic, uploaded and compressed by TH-cam only for the majority of watchers to listen on their mobile phones.
I demoed some Ready Player One and John Wick scenes during the visit and I can tell Youthman felt it what the characters did in the film. I wish we had a bit more time to add that part in there. Copyright was also a concern. Thank you!
@@Youthman If you read carefully, I asked for your reaction to the sound demo. We are talking about yourself reacting to a demo YOU hear. Hope that clarifies my comment
@@Youthman I cannot believe these actually produce high quality sound with 12 inch woofer and a high frequency driver and no mids , of course in a big theater room this would be perfect, or a night club .
@@Youthman yeh I am not trying to downplay these just form my experience and knowledge these would only be good for ht , I am not an engineer just an enthusiast and worked in the av business for about a decade ... Also I don't have money for two rooms so my ht has to do music as well and these would not be on my list. But for dedicated ht this would be at the tip of the list for sure, I can only imagine the spl levels these make
I'm in West Michigan and would love to hear other people's rooms, and also get some good feedback on my own setup from other audiophiles in and around my area.
Great theater! How do you feel about the dark blue color? Any regrets about not going with black? Trying to figure out the best balance between all black and aesthetics.
Thank you! My wife wanted a bit color instead of going all black. I guess you can look at it as a feature wall but idealy, from a appealing design, it is usually best to keep the opposite walls symmetrical with color and design. Since my theater was open to the remaining basement I did not think much of it until I decided to cover up the opening with Black Velvet drapes.
@@Pitchcut29 I'm having the same conversation with my wife. How much do you think the blue impacts the image? Do you think it affects the color or black level?
@@robcohen The midnight color via GOM which is a dark blue which really helped reduce reflections and improved the contrast on the screen. However, anything you put next to black velvet will look much brighter since your eyes adjust to the velvet. My wife just did not want a black hole and wanted some color. If you plan to do both you can always do black velvet 5-7 feet from the screen and then do a colored fabric as much of the reflections occur with 7 feet of the screen in all directions.
At least there is some more room here for the JTRs... I was asking for the comparison between these and the DIY subs you covered in the previous showcase
I’m sorry, you are correct. He did have DIY subs. With me editing 12 home theater tours, and running off of a little sleep, they are all becoming a blur LOL. It’s always difficult to compare components, speakers or subwoofers when they are in two completely different rooms connected to two completely different set ups. My preference would be the JTR subs. DIY offers a TON of value to performance. Without seeing measurements of his DIY subs, it would be difficult to compare to a JTR sub
Thank you! I always pondered the idea of building a GSG Devastator to compare to the 4000s, even though they are both tuned differently. Maybe when Youthman makes another appearance we can plan to do a comparison. My decision was made up after I demoed the 4000s at a JTR GTG party in 2017. There is a ton of great DIY subs that I would love to try.
Thank you! Love everything home theater. Maybe one day when I retire I can get a part time job working for an audio company or a theater design company.
Thank you! It took years of saving and selling off some of my collect to get to this point. I have been planning a JTR setup since 2013 and just finished building it in 2021. Some people start off with the 110HT as mains and one JTR sub and build from there.
No special deals. Jeff has very little markup in his products. There are several reasons why half of these guys on JTR. The main one is when they do these home theater crawls they get a chance to experience JTR’s first hand. It doesn’t take long and they begin heading that direction. That’s exactly what happened to me after my first visit to Wisconsin and heard JTR. Completely next level than what I had previously. The other reason is Jeff used to have his headquarters in Wisconsin, so they could pick up their speakers and save money on shipping. All of his speakers are extremely heavy there for shipping is quite costly
Thank you! Sometimes there are deals on demo models and some small discounts if you buy multiple speakers/subs. Most of this was piece buying over a period of 3 years. Since JTR was originally located in IL and then WI, it was easy for locals to drive over to some of the JTR GTG Jeff had and listen to the setups which is probably why most of us has opted for JTR. They are just that good!
@@Pitchcut29 I'm afraid to listen to them because then I'm going to feel like my Polk's aren't good enough! Lol But honestly my room is only 18' x 10' 10" wide with a low ceiling of 6' 8", so I feel like JTR's would be overkill for me, even if they were in my budget.
Awesome theater!!! Is there any more information about the MDF magnet setup? I also have a drop ceiling that I'd like to black out. I tried magnets but they didn't seem to hold so I was going to wrap the tiles, this seems like a much better option. Any info on the magnets used and how many per tile/sq foot would be great to get. Maybe a build post on AVS?
@@RJ-xj3ct Yes I actually purchased some foam sheets from the local hardware store 1-in thick and then covered them with black flocking. I attach them to the ceiling with some magnets I purchased off Amazon that have a bolt that goes through the magnet along with a washer to hold them they seem to work great
@@RJ-xj3ct I ended up covering 1/2 foam board from lowes with black flocking. I attach it to the grid with magnets that line up with the grid. Its totally hidden and seems to hold well even with my JTR 6k subs :)
Thank you! Those are Ikea Billy Bookshelves with the optional doors with matching wood trim. It is just a tad bit deeper than I wanted but it works very well.
Shame on me? 🤣🤣🤣 The short version is the last time I used copyright material, I received a channel strike on my account. If I receive three channel strikes, TH-cam delete my TH-cam account. Since this is my primary source of income, I’m not willing to risk that for an audio demo thank you for understanding
Thank you! I can try to post some non-copyrighted videos of it one day once I have the Crowsons in action. It's difficult to capture the experience but I know seeing our reaction would have said it all. You really have to experience it in person.
@@Youthman 🤣 I wondered it wrong my bad But yah yt sucks for copy write music you could possibly look in to ncr music for future videos not sure how z reviews dose it as he gets away with some songs with out getting cr strike
@@Youthman I was wondering myself...Now I completely understand...What a pity, though...Would be so much fun to see some demos...But completely understand!!
Thank you! I agree, I was very tired from finishing up the last minute details and a bit nervous being on TH-cam for the first time. I am sure if I did this a few more times with some quality sleep I would be just as energetic as Youthman.
The difficulty with me providing any narration is I don’t know their model numbers, I do not know their story and I do not know their equipment. This is really the only way to do it and I’m grateful to hear from somebody besides myself LOL
@@Pitchcut29 thanks for being so understanding, I’m a bit of a perfectionist, my apologies. Nonetheless liked the setup you have , definitely a lot of work put into it. Great job!
I do not have any of those scheduled. But I am looking to visit the new Christie Eclipse in the coming weeks. I don’t have a date yet. If that’s what you’re waiting on to subscribe, this might not be the best channel for you as that would typically not be the contact that I provide on my channel. I just happen to have a contact that is going to be visiting a show room that has the new Christie.
@@Youthman Fair enough, I'll subscribe as soon as I get home tonight from my main account (this one is reserved for firearms channels only related to my job) and wait patiently !
Hopefully you realize bass frequencies are not directional. My subs actually measured slightly better turned out towards my left and right speakers like Jerry has but since I lift my screen frequently, O chose the more aesthetically pleasing front facing
@@Youthman I know that in some situations it can be better but he has traps that absorb the waves that you mention ... it still triggers my OCD to see it ;)
Traps are not able to “stop’ low frequencies. If I remember correctly, even six or 8 inch thick bass traps will only handle down to about 250 Hz. You would need insulation probably 10 foot thick to stop a 20 Hz wave
I know jtr is some of the best you can buy. Why do the cones look like thin paper woofers? Instead of some of the beefy ones you see on other top notch woofers?
@@Youthman something like bowers and wilkins, or maybe revel for reference. They seem to have a beefy cone that allows extreme flex. The jtr to me (which i never had the pkeasure of seeing in person, look like a 1980's paper cone woofer. Again i know they are some of the best on the market. Just odd to me the difference in appearence to me.
The difference is JTR is focused on performance, not aesthetics. I have owned B&W and have heard a $100,000 B&W system and ai would take Jerry’s setup any day of the week.
I like B&Ws, but I much prefer JTR 212s over B&Ws - even the top models. B&W is good at marketing, though, using premium sounding materials like diamond tweeters and Kevlar woofers. The 212s measure better and have much more output capability. The truth is that some of the best woofers are made from paper. Stiff and lightweight.
Thank you! I thought long and hard about keeping just three seats for the front row with the middle directly at the screen but I have a family of 4 that enjoy watching movies. Maybe one day when I rebuild the room with some actual walls, I can put in a second row of four and leave the front with 3 seats.
It’s all about headroom, low distortion, and clean bass at absolutely any volume, and low end extension. Once you experience a home theater with massive Subwoofers that are properly calibrated into the system, it’s life-changing
Thanks for checking out the video! Yea, it was not my best performance. Sorry, subconsciously i did not even know i was saying it until I seen it myself, lol. It may have been the late nights trying to get the work done before the tour and nerves being on TH-cam for the first time. I will make sure I do a better job next time I have an opportunity to do another video.
You’re good man, you did an outstanding job, I would not do it better! I just thought it was funny, don’t take it the wrong way. Amazing home theater nonetheless. #goals
I would much rather listen to someone who does not typically stand in front of a camera to sharing his passion for home theater with the world use Um than read rude comments. BTW, you misspelled God and forgot the period at the end of your sentence. Have a good day.
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 one fifth you say but look at my views LMAO I don't care about subs only views and mine is better then Youthman with one fifth subs LMAO keep defending your daddy clown
"I don't care about subs only views and mine is better then Youthman" I feel like I'm back in elementary school. BTW, it's "than" instead of "then." Regardless, I wish you well with your channel.
I'd love to hear a JTR setup like this one someday! I can only imagine how impressive it must be. Great theater tour and very nice home theater setup. Props to the owner!
Thank you very much. I am grateful to be able to own this kind of setup as well as share it with everyone. No fun in listening to it by myself.
That T2 statue is amazing.. Saw this movie when I was 8 years old. still the best move I've ever seen!

You can see the compression driver during the JTR Headquarters Tour video here - th-cam.com/video/c4wrjukLifU/w-d-xo.html
@@Youthman yeh I am not trying to downplay these just form my experience and knowledge these would only be good for ht , I am not an engineer just an enthusiast and worked in the av business for about a decade ... Also I don't have money for two rooms so my ht has to do music as well and these would not be on my list. But for dedicated ht this would be at the tip of the list for sure, I can only imagine the spl levels these make
Wow… impressive! 🤩🍿🎥
Thank you!
Can I come over and watch Ready Player One?
I'm in West Michigan and would love to hear other people's rooms, and also get some good feedback on my own setup from other audiophiles in and around my area.
Absolutely, that's what this hobby is all about. If interested, you can reach out to Tony (SOWK) on upcoming GTG.
@@Pitchcut29 Yeah I'm only a 2-1/2 hour ferry ride away from Milwaukee, so I'll definitely do that.
Great theater! How do you feel about the dark blue color? Any regrets about not going with black? Trying to figure out the best balance between all black and aesthetics.
Thank you! My wife wanted a bit color instead of going all black. I guess you can look at it as a feature wall but idealy, from a appealing design, it is usually best to keep the opposite walls symmetrical with color and design. Since my theater was open to the remaining basement I did not think much of it until I decided to cover up the opening with Black Velvet drapes.
@@Pitchcut29 I'm having the same conversation with my wife. How much do you think the blue impacts the image? Do you think it affects the color or black level?
@@robcohen The midnight color via GOM which is a dark blue which really helped reduce reflections and improved the contrast on the screen. However, anything you put next to black velvet will look much brighter since your eyes adjust to the velvet. My wife just did not want a black hole and wanted some color. If you plan to do both you can always do black velvet 5-7 feet from the screen and then do a colored fabric as much of the reflections occur with 7 feet of the screen in all directions.
Killer setup dude!!! Two thumbs way up!!!
At least there is some more room here for the JTRs... I was asking for the comparison between these and the DIY subs you covered in the previous showcase
No e of these tours have featured DIY subs unless you are referring to HoverBOSS. Those are tactile transducers similar to Crosson’s or ButtKickers.
@@Youthman ohh okay.. Was thinking the hoverboss guys theatre had DIY subs at the front.. The big ones
I’m sorry, you are correct. He did have DIY subs. With me editing 12 home theater tours, and running off of a little sleep, they are all becoming a blur LOL. It’s always difficult to compare components, speakers or subwoofers when they are in two completely different rooms connected to two completely different set ups. My preference would be the JTR subs. DIY offers a TON of value to performance. Without seeing measurements of his DIY subs, it would be difficult to compare to a JTR sub
Thank you! I always pondered the idea of building a GSG Devastator to compare to the 4000s, even though they are both tuned differently. Maybe when Youthman makes another appearance we can plan to do a comparison. My decision was made up after I demoed the 4000s at a JTR GTG party in 2017. There is a ton of great DIY subs that I would love to try.
@@Youthman 😂 😂 you really need some sleep 😂 😂.. Anyway was just curious to know but i guess doing all those setups back to back its hard to tell 😂
At that point and level it's no longer a hobby. It's a lifestyle.
Thank you! Love everything home theater. Maybe one day when I retire I can get a part time job working for an audio company or a theater design company.
@@Pitchcut29 Yeah that is an incredible set-up. Would love to hear and experience one like that someday.
The Paradigm SUB 2 is still better choice! :D
Buy whatever works best for your setup
Which Cherry amp does he have to power the 212RT's?? Marachino or Megachino?
Seems like everyone owns JTR except for me. Coincidence? Maybe..
Wee too poor 😏
Thank you! It took years of saving and selling off some of my collect to get to this point. I have been planning a JTR setup since 2013 and just finished building it in 2021. Some people start off with the 110HT as mains and one JTR sub and build from there.
@@Pitchcut29 nice MAN 😎
Very nice Theater Room! Does Jeff give special deals for this group of HT enthusiast because they all seem to have JTR speakers in their setups! Lol
No special deals. Jeff has very little markup in his products. There are several reasons why half of these guys on JTR. The main one is when they do these home theater crawls they get a chance to experience JTR’s first hand. It doesn’t take long and they begin heading that direction. That’s exactly what happened to me after my first visit to Wisconsin and heard JTR. Completely next level than what I had previously. The other reason is Jeff used to have his headquarters in Wisconsin, so they could pick up their speakers and save money on shipping. All of his speakers are extremely heavy there for shipping is quite costly
Thank you! Sometimes there are deals on demo models and some small discounts if you buy multiple speakers/subs. Most of this was piece buying over a period of 3 years. Since JTR was originally located in IL and then WI, it was easy for locals to drive over to some of the JTR GTG Jeff had and listen to the setups which is probably why most of us has opted for JTR. They are just that good!
@@Pitchcut29 I'm afraid to listen to them because then I'm going to feel like my Polk's aren't good enough! Lol But honestly my room is only 18' x 10' 10" wide with a low ceiling of 6' 8", so I feel like JTR's would be overkill for me, even if they were in my budget.
Awesome theater!!! Is there any more information about the MDF magnet setup? I also have a drop ceiling that I'd like to black out. I tried magnets but they didn't seem to hold so I was going to wrap the tiles, this seems like a much better option. Any info on the magnets used and how many per tile/sq foot would be great to get. Maybe a build post on AVS?
old comment but did you end up doing anything? Im looking to black out my drop ceiling as well. Just curious. Cheers!
@@RJ-xj3ct Yes I actually purchased some foam sheets from the local hardware store 1-in thick and then covered them with black flocking. I attach them to the ceiling with some magnets I purchased off Amazon that have a bolt that goes through the magnet along with a washer to hold them they seem to work great
@@RJ-xj3ct I ended up covering 1/2 foam board from lowes with black flocking. I attach it to the grid with magnets that line up with the grid. Its totally hidden and seems to hold well even with my JTR 6k subs :)
Is this a woven screen
Nice room Jerry.
How far is your seating from screen?
Thank you! I have it at about 12ft and 4in from headrest to screen but plan to move it closer to about 11.5 ft.
Where did you find your nice looking media cabinets?
Thank you! Those are Ikea Billy Bookshelves with the optional doors with matching wood trim. It is just a tad bit deeper than I wanted but it works very well.
@@Pitchcut29
Thanks!
shame you don't do clips of the sound anymore would love to see it in action
Shame on me? 🤣🤣🤣 The short version is the last time I used copyright material, I received a channel strike on my account. If I receive three channel strikes, TH-cam delete my TH-cam account. Since this is my primary source of income, I’m not willing to risk that for an audio demo thank you for understanding
Thank you! I can try to post some non-copyrighted videos of it one day once I have the Crowsons in action. It's difficult to capture the experience but I know seeing our reaction would have said it all. You really have to experience it in person.
@@Youthman 🤣 I wondered it wrong my bad
But yah yt sucks for copy write music you could possibly look in to ncr music for future videos not sure how z reviews dose it as he gets away with some songs with out getting cr strike
@@Youthman I was wondering myself...Now I completely understand...What a pity, though...Would be so much fun to see some demos...But completely understand!!
Nice setup! I would have rather Youthman gave the narration of the home theater though...
Thank you! I agree, I was very tired from finishing up the last minute details and a bit nervous being on TH-cam for the first time. I am sure if I did this a few more times with some quality sleep I would be just as energetic as Youthman.
The difficulty with me providing any narration is I don’t know their model numbers, I do not know their story and I do not know their equipment. This is really the only way to do it and I’m grateful to hear from somebody besides myself LOL
@@Youthman your right. After a while it just got a tiny bit annoying but I totally understand! I’m probably a bit critical.
@@Pitchcut29 thanks for being so understanding, I’m a bit of a perfectionist, my apologies. Nonetheless liked the setup you have , definitely a lot of work put into it. Great job!

If you'll visit a home theater that has the new Christie Eclipse projector installed in the next couple weeks, then I'll subscribe immediately.
I do not have any of those scheduled. But I am looking to visit the new Christie Eclipse in the coming weeks. I don’t have a date yet. If that’s what you’re waiting on to subscribe, this might not be the best channel for you as that would typically not be the contact that I provide on my channel. I just happen to have a contact that is going to be visiting a show room that has the new Christie.
@@Youthman Fair enough, I'll subscribe as soon as I get home tonight from my main account (this one is reserved for firearms channels only related to my job) and wait patiently !
I would love to see one in action too!
One opf the better DIY cinemas, but the rotated subs trigger me....
You wouldn't be able to see the front subs behind the screen. Lot's of people rotate them to not affect the picture and sound quality.
@@C--A Sorry no it's an excuse! Especially with that much room i can just have a negative effect, they are pointed to the bass traps...
Hopefully you realize bass frequencies are not directional. My subs actually measured slightly better turned out towards my left and right speakers like Jerry has but since I lift my screen frequently, O chose the more aesthetically pleasing front facing
@@Youthman I know that in some situations it can be better but he has traps that absorb the waves that you mention ... it still triggers my OCD to see it ;)
Traps are not able to “stop’ low frequencies. If I remember correctly, even six or 8 inch thick bass traps will only handle down to about 250 Hz. You would need insulation probably 10 foot thick to stop a 20 Hz wave
#BestSystemAward
I know jtr is some of the best you can buy. Why do the cones look like thin paper woofers? Instead of some of the beefy ones you see on other top notch woofers?
They are very rigid
What do you consider top notch woofers?
@@Youthman something like bowers and wilkins, or maybe revel for reference. They seem to have a beefy cone that allows extreme flex. The jtr to me (which i never had the pkeasure of seeing in person, look like a 1980's paper cone woofer. Again i know they are some of the best on the market. Just odd to me the difference in appearence to me.
The difference is JTR is focused on performance, not aesthetics. I have owned B&W and have heard a $100,000 B&W system and ai would take Jerry’s setup any day of the week.
I like B&Ws, but I much prefer JTR 212s over B&Ws - even the top models. B&W is good at marketing, though, using premium sounding materials like diamond tweeters and Kevlar woofers. The 212s measure better and have much more output capability. The truth is that some of the best woofers are made from paper. Stiff and lightweight.
no right-in-the-middle seat again???!!!
Yeah I myself would have to have a middle seat.
Thank you! I thought long and hard about keeping just three seats for the front row with the middle directly at the screen but I have a family of 4 that enjoy watching movies. Maybe one day when I rebuild the room with some actual walls, I can put in a second row of four and leave the front with 3 seats.
I don’t understand the need for 4 massive subs in your average sized HT.
It’s all about headroom, low distortion, and clean bass at absolutely any volume, and low end extension. Once you experience a home theater with massive Subwoofers that are properly calibrated into the system, it’s life-changing
Thanks for the obvious Mike, this isn't your home theater
Thanks! With a similar JTR setup i'm sure he may have felt right at home. :-)
👌👍
Thank you!
Say “umm” one more time…
Thanks for checking out the video! Yea, it was not my best performance. Sorry, subconsciously i did not even know i was saying it until I seen it myself, lol. It may have been the late nights trying to get the work done before the tour and nerves being on TH-cam for the first time. I will make sure I do a better job next time I have an opportunity to do another video.
@@crazycuz100 I will make sure I don’t. Not my best speaking performance.
You’re good man, you did an outstanding job, I would not do it better! I just thought it was funny, don’t take it the wrong way. Amazing home theater nonetheless. #goals
Umm
Ummmm
Nice set up beautiful but that guy talks like he got hiccups
You talk like you don’t have manners. No need to criticize how someone speaks.
Say a couple words UH say a couple words UM repeat My GAWD this was hard to listen to
I would much rather listen to someone who does not typically stand in front of a camera to sharing his passion for home theater with the world use Um than read rude comments.
BTW, you misspelled God and forgot the period at the end of your sentence.
Have a good day.
Thanks! It was my first take on TH-cam and I was a bit tired from getting everything done up to the tour. I am sure I'll do much better in the future.
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 one fifth you say but look at my views LMAO I don't care about subs only views and mine is better then Youthman with one fifth subs LMAO keep defending your daddy clown
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 I didn't read none of that wall of text lol I'm done here
"I don't care about subs only views and mine is better then Youthman" I feel like I'm back in elementary school.
BTW, it's "than" instead of "then."
Regardless, I wish you well with your channel.
