Probably my favorite tour and interview so far. Great conversation. Thank you for sharing your room with us. Personally Not a Harry Potter fan but you did an excellent job on the theme. Rooms like this and memorabilia really bring movies to life. This kind of room makes sense. Most people aren’t going to be able to dedicate a large space and pour $20,000+ into a home theater. Everyone has different budgets, but at some point the law of diminishing returns goes into effect. This room just about hits the sweet spot.
Love your videos Youthman! I don't think anybody has seen a small space home theater like mine. I always look around to see who has such a small home theater like I do. I love seeing and giving shout-outs to people who have small theaters in rooms less then optimal. It's all about using what you have. Great video as always!!
I'm not even a Harry Potter fan and this room gives me awesome vibes. Scott, you've done a phenomenal job maximizing your space. It's amazing what one can accomplish when determined to succeed. The use of dipoles for the rear surrounds is smart in that space, making them blend in more easily.
There’s only one shot of the Atmos speaker. You can see it when he’s talking about the stars he painted on the ceiling. I forgot to get Broll shots of them
18" sub in front and dual 15" subs in back???! That's in a 12'x13' closed in bedroom?!!! Um, ok!! That's not gunna have boomy, slow , thick, boom box sounding, bass reverb or anything!!! :-) Sounds fun
The room is fully treated with sound panels and full length bass traps. The front wall has 8 inches of roxul insulation. MLP is eq’d with a near perfect bass response and rolled off at 12hz, so yes it does sound fun!

@@jaywaller9125 Thanks J. I ended up using Raspi -> open media vault + plex. Right now streaming to ROKU plex, Shield is on it's way. I'll upgrade later to the UHD3000, zappiti, or Zidoo.
really impressed with this room! amazing use of space and build-out work. super comfy, even if you're not a harry potter fan there is no way not to like this room.
@27:00 Best thing about the room is Elysian Night Owl & Great Pumpkin display. #1 favorite of all beers (taste of both is essentially the same). Interesting to see someone in Florida with the Seattle brewery beer.
Great room all around! Love the use of space, Harry Potter theme, attention to acoustic insulation, and lastly, recognizing that 5.1 with bi-pole surrounds was the better way to go considering the size of the room.
As someone with a Harry Potter themed guest bedroom, this is giving me some great ideas to get rid of the bed and turn it into a little home theater lol.
This is such an inspiration. I was most excited for this one on the tour. Huge Harry Potter fan, but more excited for the space. I am getting back into home theater with 13’x13’ 8” loft I thought I could never do a projector in. Now I see it is possible.
According to THX the best viewing angle is achieved by using the ratio: 10” screen at 1 foot distance. If someone has 10 feet distance from the screen then screen size should be about 100”. For a 120” screen, the best viewing angle is achieved by sitting at about 12 feet.
You are correct, those are THX recommendations. I can tell you for me personally, 100 inch is not at all immersive from 10 foot. I am 9’ from 150” in 2.35:1 and I absolutely love it. I had two guests over yesterday to demo my set up. They were absolutely blown away not only by the sound, but also by how immersive the experience was. Immediately after watching ready player one, he said he felt like he was in the race car. My setup is WAY beyond THX recommendations but not once have I had anyone move from the front to the second row because they felt the image was too big.
I agree with you because I myself noted the immersiveness at shorter distance but got tired of moving my eyes from one corner to other in order to capture the whole scene. On the other hand when I follow the thx guidelines the whole screen is in my field of vision and I can easily enjoy the whole 3D movie with out straining my eyes.
Saw this video again and started thinking about my spare bedroom and turn it in to a home theater , but my room is not that big 11’ 10’ so it mite be challenge
Not sure if Scott will see this, but I would love to know more about the cooling for the projector. Moved out of a house in the midwest with a 14x24 sized home theater to Florida where I too am going to have to cram into a spare bedroom. My JVC projector kicks out a lot of warm air so I would love to learn from what you did. Thanks. Great looking and inspiring theater by the way!
2,600 lumens is a damn joke. My optoma FHD Laser outputs 5500lumens and the price was awesome 20€ light source lasts around 30 000 hours. I always go with extreme budget hahahahaha
@@Youthman No but I have seen many projectors including the one he has. I go by the mindset the projector has to work in a normal livingroom. I'm interested when I get a 4k laser with 5500lumens or more with a reasonable pricetag. My taste in movies is mostly so that multi channel soundsystems do not matter anyway. I'm a poor man who lives in an apartment building anyway, so high soundlevels a no no XD My system cost is like 420€ at the moment including a 92'' portable grandview screen, Optoma FHD laser projector and a Good Monitor audio stereo soundbar I won in a facebook lottery. Still enough to get you evicted. I'm the type who enjoys Lazy life with what I can get without working too much XDXD
That makes more sense why you feel 2,600 lumens is a joke as you are only looking at lumen output. His projector as well as my NX7 are not designed for rooms with massive amounts of ambient light. There is not such thing as a budget projector that has massive light output, amazing blacks and excellent contrast. The more output you have, the poorer your black levels and contrast will be. You just have to decide what is most important to you
hi. this is an amazig theater. Great way of utilizing your space. The theming is awesome! would you mind sharing exactly which Triad speakers you got. I know there are several versions within each series, even within the SILVER line (6 and 4 on wall, in wall, in ceiling etc.) you have. Also, where did you get them from? it's very hard to find prices on them to get an idea of cost. Again, awesome cinema..hope you are enjoying to the fullest!!! thank you
“It’s better, don’t get me wrong, but I was expecting to be blown away”. This will be a similar sentiment for every upgrade for audio and video from this point forward in your system, regardless of price! Enjoy what you have! Congrats on a neat looking room and fun setup Scott!
Great theater! Ugh, now I gotta get some bass traps and diffusers on the ceiling. I’ve already been working on the wife about trading up on the subs. I made her watch this so she can’t call me crazy. More power and a pair of 15” is what our large theater needs!
It's possible to create an attached duct on the Projector to take 100% of the outflow and vent it from the room. Look for 3D printed designs or do your own. It helps enable more noise reduction options and particularly if you also do this on the input, you maintain the temp requirements of the projector. This can be a nice pathway if you cannot place the projector outside the room or in a sealed hushbox with air circulation.
It's honestly one of my favorite room that you covered. Its really original to have such a theme going on and im not an harry potter fan! Love it! Dont Know if I missed it, but did he mentionned how much he has invested in the room ?
hello..first off..GREAT room and great use of the space. I have a few questions regarding the screen. You keep saying that it is a 120" screen (which technically it is), however, I notice you have some velvet strips all around "masking it down/making it smaller" than what it is. How many inches did you mask off on top/bottom and the sides? What is the actual viewing size of 2:35.1 and 16x9 content? ( i am guessing you zoom in for 16x9 content which should be around 90-92 inches??) Still a immersive feeling seated at 9 feet away. thank you
Love the decor. I think celebrating the movies you love is important to the home theater experience. I also love what he’s done with a small space. Great room.
I have to be super close to get that BIG screen immersion because I've had big screen TVs for so long I sit four feet away from 150 inch screen and love it !!
@@Youthman I just re-measure that's about 5 feet from my eyes it's perfect there is slight pan-and-scan to make it feel ridiculously immersive at all times I love it
Another awesome episode Michael. I absolutely love that theater. I got lots of ideas to use in my theater. All the decorations totally rock. Love these videos!
How could I forget to record a 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos system on a mono lapel microphone to be compressed by TH-cam and listened to by most people from their mobile device. I should be ashamed of myself.
Very nice job Scott. Big Harry Potter nerd. So is my daughter. She loves it. I love the use of di-poles in the rear. For the space it seems like the perfect choice. Michael another great video.
Great video. The tour truly needed a room and homeowner as down to earth as this. It lets all those with doubt know that when there is a will, there is a way.
Really impressive room! Alot of thought and detail. With all the little dim lights and color scheme I definitely feel like I'm watching a Harry Potter movie. Hopefully Scott will chime in to answer my question. He said he went from ben q 3550 to the epson. He said he didn't get an over the top wow factor in difference. The thing I would like to know which might be a stupid question but I'll ask anyway. Was there a big difference in black levels? Like does the $1500 justify the improved quality in the black levels? Hopefully you can answer this 4 me. Either way we'll done theater and also thank you youthman you are really doing a excellent job with these theater walkthroughs
Not the one you want to answer the question ut i thozght my input might be worthwhile. I have the epson as the European model the 9400. This epson does everything extremly well BUT the Black levels. Its a LCD model so Black levels Surfer. It got great color and brkghtness. When you make a hushbox to quit it down and go on the brightest Level you really get incredible in picture contrast and a fantastic picture. But if sou Hunt the best Star wars Intro Black wizh bright stars then this is not the projector for you. Sadly a Comparable picture quality with great black costs like 3 Times as much aa the epson. I would think the epson will be the best bang for buck but really high quality beamer for a while. Probably until the predessesor to the ls12000 or the New jvc projector come out. So 2-3 years.
The black levels are better, but not to the extent you would think. AT screens eat up some of your brightness, so the extra lumens from the Epson did help. Both are fully calibrated, so the picture quality is pretty close. The 3550 is a worthy competitor all the way around and I still highly recommend it to anyone on a budget.
@@scottwooden9401 Thanks for the reply man! Really appreciate it. I have a similar size room to yours. In my opinion I think the one thing that is killing me is that it's such a small room that the light from projector is just bouncing around from the screen. Like the epson that I got now is to bright. My room is painted dark grey and black ceiling and acoustic panels all around. That's y I'm thinking on trying the benq because it's not as bright

Thank you kindly
One of the top themed HTs I've seen.
Imo, it's the best one in terms of integrating acoustic treatments and acoustic design with the decor
Well done
Very well done. It’s so hard to have a themed room without it looking tacky. You nailed it my man!! Great job 👏

I was about to type the same thing. Not a Harry Potter fan but this room screams fun and goes to show you don't have to be super serious. I dig it
Hundred percent agree with you guys. I have never seen a Harry Potter movie But it was a real treat experiencing Scott’s home theater
This room is legit . Can I come over and we binge watch some Harry Potter ?
Thanks Youthman for another entertaining video, and thanks to Scott for sharing his theater. It is a very cozy and inviting looking theater.
Glad you enjoyed it
Man this is beyond awesome
Working hard and making money when ur young, and this is what ur end up with, great setup and keep it up man!
Amazing job in a small space. Great job!
Loving these home cinema tours, budget and no price limit and everything in-between. Keep up the good work, channel is really amazing.
Thank you Leon glad you’re enjoying the videos
Awesome theater! Love the tours!
Thank you kindly Victor
how far is the projector lens to the screen? is he getting 120 inch imaging?
Very cool Harry Potter themed home cinema/theater ⚡ I do love Harry Potter, have the 4k blu ray 8 film boxset.
Awesome room!
When you guys talked about the Atmos speakers (16-17 mins in), I was expecting to see them 🤷♂️. Unless that’s coming later in the video (?).

really impressed with this room! amazing use of space and build-out work. super comfy, even if you're not a harry potter fan there is no way not to like this room.
I would love to see a star wars version of this
@27:00 Best thing about the room is Elysian Night Owl & Great Pumpkin display. #1 favorite of all beers (taste of both is essentially the same). Interesting to see someone in Florida with the Seattle brewery beer.
Small bedroom? You havent been to the uk then..
I have not. 12' x 13' would definitely be considered small for a dedicated home theater. ;)
Mine is 9,5 x 12 ft , I project on the wall up to 127" 😄
Smallest legal bedroom in the states is 10x10....in case anyone was wondering lol
I didn’t know there was a legal size limit lol
I just bought my first apartment three weeks ago, the whole apartment is 28". My room, on the other hand, is 3,7" :P
Still bigger than my home theater 🥺
Great room all around! Love the use of space, Harry Potter theme, attention to acoustic insulation, and lastly, recognizing that 5.1 with bi-pole surrounds was the better way to go considering the size of the room.

@@Youthman I am sure I will!! Looking forward to it. This will give me some great ideas 😊
Inexpensive ideas too!
Big Harry Potter fan….this room is just amazing. Can you share some links on where you purchased your bookshelf bass traps and side diffuser panels.
He said he built the side panels and bass traps DIY. He doesn’t have any diffusers. Just absorption
This is such an inspiration. I was most excited for this one on the tour. Huge Harry Potter fan, but more excited for the space. I am getting back into home theater with 13’x13’ 8” loft I thought I could never do a projector in. Now I see it is possible.

This was my favorite of your tours so far!
It has so much character!
Can't wait to see what's next 😊
I think this was one of the best rooms to date! A great example of what anyone can do with some effort and passion.
pertty cool setup nice work...im looking to build 4 15 inch subs tuned to 28hz......
Scott, my kind of room brother!!!! Youth, thanx for another great tour!!!
Appreciate it Donald
This is really awesome, a Harry Potter themed home theater is in my future!
Does this Scott have a youtube channel ?
This is damned impressive. I wish I were half that handy.
Great theater room!! Love the tours and learning what people are doing with their spaces!

I'm not really a fan of harry potter but I am a huge fan of the heart and mind that went into this. Good job
awesome video and that room look fantastic well done.
I have to be super close to get that BIG screen immersion because I've had big screen TVs for so long I sit four feet away from 150 inch screen and love it !!
I sit 9’ from 150”. At 4’ you would have to turn your head almost 90 degrees to see the entire width of the screen.

Really impressive room! Alot of thought and detail. With all the little dim lights and color scheme I definitely feel like I'm watching a Harry Potter movie. Hopefully Scott will chime in to answer my question. He said he went from ben q 3550 to the epson. He said he didn't get an over the top wow factor in difference. The thing I would like to know which might be a stupid question but I'll ask anyway. Was there a big difference in black levels? Like does the $1500 justify the improved quality in the black levels? Hopefully you can answer this 4 me. Either way we'll done theater and also thank you youthman you are really doing a excellent job with these theater walkthroughs
Not the one you want to answer the question ut i thozght my input might be worthwhile.
I have the epson as the European model the 9400. This epson does everything extremly well BUT the Black levels. Its a LCD model so Black levels Surfer. It got great color and brkghtness. When you make a hushbox to quit it down and go on the brightest Level you really get incredible in picture contrast and a fantastic picture. But if sou Hunt the best Star wars Intro Black wizh bright stars then this is not the projector for you.
Sadly a Comparable picture quality with great black costs like 3 Times as much aa the epson. I would think the epson will be the best bang for buck but really high quality beamer for a while. Probably until the predessesor to the ls12000 or the New jvc projector come out. So 2-3 years.
@@12P14D22C Thanks for your input
The black levels are better, but not to the extent you would think. AT screens eat up some of your brightness, so the extra lumens from the Epson did help. Both are fully calibrated, so the picture quality is pretty close. The 3550 is a worthy competitor all the way around and I still highly recommend it to anyone on a budget.
@@scottwooden9401 Thanks for the reply man! Really appreciate it. I have a similar size room to yours. In my opinion I think the one thing that is killing me is that it's such a small room that the light from projector is just bouncing around from the screen. Like the epson that I got now is to bright. My room is painted dark grey and black ceiling and acoustic panels all around. That's y I'm thinking on trying the benq because it's not as bright
You should give a few demos of the rooms you feature..
Last year I received a copyright strike for using an 8 second clip on one of my videos. Three strikes and TH-cam deletes my account. I’m not willing to risk losing my channel to provide audio or video demos.

Fair call. What a world we live in when this sort of thing happens for a quick sound demo..
Yeah it’s unfortunate. I was merely trying to show the image quality of an Ultra Short Throw projector using an 8sec 4K clip on TH-cam.
Awesome theater man! I have a room that is the exact size and also trying to build a theater. Great review!!
