I'm curious what thoughts you might have on why your theater rooms went unused? I'm either moving to a new home or a boat in the next year, and if I stay on land a theater room was one of my "nice to haves" for a new home.
@@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus Typically, dedicated theater rooms are in less than welcoming environments (windowless rooms or basements) and/or simply located in areas where the family doesn't typically congregates. To me that is going to be at the top of the list as to why DHTs often go unused.
@@KristiWright Thanks Kristi. I suppose that's the answer I expected, but I also thought that getting together to watch the latest on Netflix or whatever would engender enough sense of occasion to make using a DHT worth the trouble. Isn't a windowless basement room ideal for a home theater? Time to reconsider I suppose.
@@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus If you want to use a projector, then yes, a windowless or light controlled room is best however, I think the reality is that those are still often less inviting or in more remote locations of the home which result in a lack of use.
Please hold onto that refreshing individualism, professionalism and excitement in your videos. Following many HIFI and Home Audio channels, you two stand out for not taking this hobby too serious and not being elitist. This channel has always been my go to source for informative, high quality and fun reviews. I love your conversations at the end and the Polk R700 review showed that you are passionate, down to earth and really care. You deserve the best for 2023.
You're not alone Andrew, almost every dedicated theater I've ever seen built has quickly become a kids play area or a forgotten remnant of a nice dream. Out of sight really is out of mind. I've helped more than a few people design their dream homes and I always advise against dedicated in home recreation spaces. As in almost every case they get relegated to storage or junk rooms and it's expensive square footage to waste. Incorporating a home theater into the main living area really is the best idea for most people. Other recreational pursuits are best done in a separate building outside the home where your time can be focused on your passion and not splitting time between switching over laundry loads or helping with homework. If someone tells me they don't really have the time to go to a dedicated out building then I ask what makes them think they will have the time if such a space exists inside their home. If you won't walk across your driveway to get to your so called passion then you won't walk upstairs to a bonus room to do it either. I'll even give an example from a home I helped a co-worker design about eight years ago. They took a stock plan and asked for help modifying it. The upstairs basically had two large attic areas that could either be finished or not. The couple thought (my co-workers husband, honestly) it would be wonderful to have a dedicated home theater. This room would be on the far back side of the home, upstairs and away from the kitchen and family area. I advised to use a different plan altogether but if not then build the theater in the main living area instead and we would modify the plan to suit. Nope, they wouldn't do it. Okay, $85,000 later for the finishing of attic space, equipment, theater chairs etc, etc... and they watched approximately ten movies over the course of six months by their own estimate and hadn't used the space for anything other than hosting their kids birthday parties in the last seven years. Now they use the new scaled down theater in the living room which cost an additional $70,000 (summer of 2021 expensive construction) including $20,000 just for all the revision work and remodeling needed to install the equipment the way it should have been done in the first place. The total cost if done at the time of construction would have been around $45,000. Before that the once proud (hard headed) theater king used a sound bar in the living room for six years. So, add it all up and these folks spent $155,000 total on home theater setups that should have cost them just $45,000 because they discovered dedicated rooms are inconvenient, isolating and have to be cleaned, maintained and paid for in the monthly mortgage but with very little use for the effort.
So here is what I learned since subscribing to your channel as a member this year. I came to your channel because I wanted to get into home theatre. I was already steeped in the dark hole of audio spending thousands upon thousands on everything including outrageously expensive cables, interconnects and power blocks not to mention lots on turntables, speakers and tube gear. I lost the enjoyment of listening to music and became addicted to listening to equipment never satisfied. Out of frustration I locked all my equipment in the basement, with my 5,000 plus LPs, and 3,000 CDs twenty years ago.. I only listened to music live in small jazz venues which I have done since I was 15 years of age and am now 73. I still go with my wife of 40 years to a live jazz club every Saturday night because of the love of music. I can without question say that if you want to be in love with your spouse for 40 years find something you both love and share and keep doing it like you did when you first met and were dating. Since I joined your channel I purchased the Onkyo RZ 50, the Polk R 700s, the Polk R400 Center channel speaker, the SVS 3000 micro, the Bluesound Node, some Decware cables and a miniDSP SHD so I have both the ability to tune my room using Dirac and EQ the result as the SHD give you both options. I've used all your links so I hope you were compensated for that. What I learned is I'm not attracted to the blockbuster type movies that allow me to hear full surround sound with Dolby Atmos. I still prefer foreign films with subtitles where surround sound does not really matter although I do listen in Dolby surround. What you have both done for me however is renewed my enjoyment of listening to music in my home. I have unpacked the LPs and CDs, unpacked my Merrill turntable with the ETII arm and will be getting the Ortofon Black you recommend. So even though Home theatre turned out not be all that important to me, you have rekindled my love of of sitting down to a great album and listening to the music and not the equipment and for that I love you both. Happy New Year, be well! and I hope you had a chance to download the image I made you for your Instagram channel.
Absolutely the special conversion part of the R700 video. Validation. It was a great mirror provided to review our hobbies/personal interests/"investments". And I think Andrew's answer was as good & honest as Kristi's question.
I think I have to mention that all movies today, from streaming to theatrical, are 7.1.4 at the minimum. This is the starting point these days. Also this 7.1.4 is the standard for Atmos Music. My favorite videos (sorry can't remember if it's one or two), are those about the construction of the space and acoustics. I think that it's a good idea to add more videos and suggestions like these in your future content. Also, if I an allowed to ask, I am very interested to see your house guys. Make a video about that, if course only what you want to share. I am full in about interior design to. Thank you for the time to share this year with us. Have a great new one.
@@KristiWright Wishing both of you a Happy New Year! I love your channel because you regularly engage with the subscribers.. several times throughout the year I had questions and always got a response. Keep up the great work in 2023!
My favorite videos are of you designing your living room space to be inviting and not a dark media room. I was going into home theater as the traditional designs go. But now I want to copy your atmos and surround setup for that same flexibility. With big and bright tv too. Projectors can eat it. Your design details and purpose for home spaces are so helpful. I’m taking notes for my setup as well.
The slat wall video was great, really opened up my eyes to what can be done to fix your room without a bunch of movie poster acoustic panels everywhere
I absolutely loved the DIY spirit of the acoustic treatments video. I also have a challenging room to address and seeing what you were able to do was very inspiring! Thank you for all the hard work on our account!
I purchased custom Cornwall IV (indian rosewood, sheepskin grills) after watching your initial video on your Cornwalls. They are my reference speakers and I love them.
I've been asking for a heritage subwoofer and center for YEARS!! I have a Klipsch Palladium full surround system and know they can make a crazy 3-way center if they want like they used to.
I think my favourite video was the KEF LS60 wireless 🎉 And thank you for a whole year of amazing videos. I hope you all have some time for some good holiday. And I’ll see you all next year! 😊😊
Hi Andrew and Kristi, I'm a new subscriber as of this year as well as new to this hobby. Your channel has by far and away been the most helpful resource I've come across when trying to learn about home audio. Just wanted to say that and thank you for all of your hard work!! Keep it up in 2023!! Cheers from Chicagoland!
I have a huge home renovation starting in 2 weeks (which I'm equal parts excited and terrified for), so your home theatre renovation videos have been hugely influential in planning my dream basement home theatre. Paradigm Monitor SE 5.1 speakers, with 4 Paradigm in-ceiling speakers to timbre match, Onkyo RZ50 driving the 5.1.4 speakers, but also consideration for room correction (Dirac), acoustic treatments, and furniture stylings, which has helped greatly with buy-in with my wife. She chose the furniture, I grabbed the gear, and together we get our dream basement setup. Thanks to you both, Andrew and Kristi! All the best in 2023.
My favorite videos from you are the ones where you talk about your personal collection because, while you always do a great job of providing a great review, it's always nice to know what you think is worth spending your money on to have and enjoy in your personal set up.
The wall building video was the Best. BUT, the last video came close. I like videos were you talk and deal with REAL world compromises (was that a real sentence!?). Audio and living room is full of compromises - like life and relationships (my wife hopefully doesn’t read this 😅😊).
I have to say I enjoy the live streams the most (even though I've only ever caught one live!) They have a good community and it feels like you can participate, interact and show appreciation for what you two do... as well as see more of your personalities. Loved hearing about all sorts from Whiskey to cars and how you guys met. I look forward to every video you do and can't wait to see what next year has in store. Have an amazing 2023!!!!
Finally did it. The Cornwalls were out of our budget unfortunately so we went with 3 Heresy IVs in black ash. While the stereo imaging made for a perfect center channel (just like you said of the cornwall's), it only worked great sitting in one spot with the speakers point straight at me. The Heresy IV as a center is amazing. Perfect clarity across the entire very large room. Final stages of a living room/kitchen remodel and the TV and sound engulf both the kitchen and living areas. We often sit at the bar area in the kitchen and with this setup, audio video are perfect everywhere. I HIGHLY recommend the Heresy IV as a center channel. Now, can you get one wrapped to match your amazing Cornwalls! FYI, now my surrounds and ATMOS speakers kinda suck but are OK with some tweaking....... Older version of the same Klipsch in ceilings y'all put in... You earned what ever sponsorship Klipsh gives you (if any) on these videos, thank you!
*Livestreams. Because its a sitdown, conversation. Kristi manages the questions, and AR, gives the first answer, Kristi then gives us the real answer. That is my favorite. Nobody does it better than you two. Thanks for your help.
I enjoyed the R700 review. It was great to see you get really juiced about something like that. I also really enjoyed the one where you described how you did the room correct slats on the wall. That was inspiring, and will end up costing me some time and money! I hope you two have a great new year. Looking forward to all of your content in 2023.
@R I'm sorry to hear you were not happy with the R700s. May I ask what speakers you tend to gravitate towards and which tweeters have you preferred? Also, what is your room like in terms of size? I admit I'm surprised at your experience. I've yet to come across anyone with this particular complaint.
@@andrewrobinsonreviews I bought Klipsch RP8000F II… before your review of the R700. I am happy with them, but had I read the review BEFORE my purchase, I would have spent a bit more for the R700. Too bad he already returned them. We could have arranged a trade
I also really liked the room treatment video. Wish I could do something to my room as well. And thanks for helping me select my system, Klipsch rp 8000fs, bluesound streamer (hdmi arc ftw) and a XTZ a2-300 amplifier. Does everything I want, and I can melt my neighbours ears with my metal music. 😁🎶 Happy New Year!
QOTD: My favorite videos this year were the room renovation video that you cited Andrew, along with the monthly Thursday live chats, which is where I try to learn a thing or two. For product reviews, the Q Acoustics Concept 50 and Lii Audio come to mind, and finally, the revisit video where you re-tested speakers in your new living space and compared their sound signature to the Texas house, loved that video! Thanks for the great content, looking forward to 2023!
Thanks for another great year of reviews, you guy's are great👍🤟 My favorite video was when you went back on some of the speakers from old home to new home....Still loving my Klipsch Heresy IV😆😆😆😆😆
@KristiWright went with the black to match fireplace and matching cabinets. I love the finish you guys have on your Cornwall, I wish I knew you could do that.
My favorite was the living room makeover video and if we are talking about audio videos, probably the Project Audio Speakers...(that green).... Love it because it was a very pleasant surprise. Happy new year guys and see you all in the new year!
Those speakers were such a surprise! They're so good!! For anyone curious, you can find them here bit.ly/3Ak39C6. And no, the cheaper ones you can find on Amazon are NOT THE SAME 😂.
I love my 3 Cornwalls LCR. The only significant modification was to raise my 77 inch LG above the center Cornwall which we quickly adjusted to. With Denon 8500, two SVS SB3000 subs, 4 SVS elevations for Atmos, this is the best system I ever had.
My favourites were the Polk R700 and Marantz Cinema 50 videos. After watching them countless times, and your other videos, it has helped me to shape an idea of what I wanted for my first home theatre system. So to start with I've purchased both. Thank you for all the good work you continue to keep doing, signed an avid fan from the UK.
Love the channel. I love the realizum... as dumb as that sounds.... love the permission to like what I like. I tried not to like my standard klipsch, thinking I was being too klipché but I just love them. Kristies comments are unique, and appreaciated and carry a lot of weight, and yes, it is because she is female... happy 2023 ill be going with the RZ50 if my 3700H can't be repaired for my 7.4.4 on your advice and the Kliptch integration!
Amazing review. Thank you so much for ending the year with a bang. Keep up the great I love you too guys. Keep up the great work. See you next year work .F
my most anticipated was the lumina v review, because that range has so much competition and I wanted some validation that I made the right choice lol 😂
I truly think you two would love Rythmik subs. They blend so incredibly well with any speaker setup. So precise in bass without being boomy like Klipsch subs can get.
The R700 episode was the first to come to mind from a subject matter point of view, but the two that stood out most was when Kristi talked about her grandmother, as well as the Roe v. Wade decision. It was a wonderful reminder that there is life beyond TH-cam videos. Real people make these videos and we all need to be reminded of that every now and then. There’s more to TH-cam than just people filming others at their worst or humans getting hurt being stupid and looking for likes. God bless both of you.
I really enjoy all the reviews but the one that I listen to the most is the review of the Klipsch RP 8000f. I actually got a pair based on your review. Resently my Klipsch SPL 150 sub stopped working and I had to take it back to the store that I got it from so that they can take a look at it, so now the LFE is being routed to the 8000f and they actually do kick like a Clydesdale horse 🐎, when I listen to that review it helps me learn a little more about that speaker. Thanks for all your reviews and hopefully I'll see you Sunday.
Job well done !! 2022 was not easy, and you held to your high standard! Professional, objective with a hint of why your way comes to be... Mostly : independent, these day daring saying the (your) truth without fearing your providers and comments !! So many other channels do smell the pleasing the brand because they are probably paid a way or the other. We'll see you in 2023!!
My favorite review(s) of this year are all of the ones that referenced, and therefore warranted, a shot of your Cornwalls. I want to renovate my whole f**kin house just so it would visually work with a set of those Cornwalls. Thanks for the heads up that you would be featuring them again. I would miss 90% of the movies, because I would be staring at them the whole time. Happy New Year to you guys, all the best to you and Kristi.
For some reason even if I'm not looking to upgrade soon, the Mission 770. Also the Samsung S95B just because I was heavily considering a stupid buy and buying it during black friday and this made me see I made a good choice waiting it out. Love your channel, good job A & K !!!
My favourite video was the Epson LS12000B review. Whilst you weren't overly complimentary about the future of front projection, I was impressed enough by the benefits and after further research purchased that very model. I'm in love with my night time viewing and I hope you'll continue to look into home theatre as your nuance and honesty are rare traits and greatly appreciated in this space.
QOTD how do you pick a favorite? The last few months of the year really dialed up the honesty and had me laughing big time. R700, hifi Rose, and NAD to name a few (for different reasons). I can't wait to see where you take us next year!
I stumbled over your channel about 2 months ago and felt directly that this was for me. I don't know which video is best but I like when you review more odd things but also the videos that include stuff a normal person can afford. Thanks for a great year and keep up the good work!
I absolutely love that you guys read trough the comments and help us out personally. As for my favorite video, it has to be the Polk xt60 review as I want to build a relatively inexpensive home theater… really can’t wait for the Yamaha a-4a review.
@@KristiWright Thank you very much. I would like to compliment you guys on your furniture aesthetics and colors. We have bronze concrete polished floors here and utilize lighter furniture. Always fun to see how aesthetics & color pallet plays out with your favorite reviewers. Thanks for sharing.
The response of the Cornwall's with the Yamaha is fantastic and much better than I thought it would be. Congratulations on your new setup it's fantastic!
My favorite videos this year were the slat wall video and the Denon X1700h review. I’m building my first system right now, so the channel was super great to watch this year!
Thank you for the reviews and content . I hope you are both having a lovely time during this festive period. I can't wait for next year's reviews. 10/10
Dear Andew, I seriously appreciate your wonderfully detailed descriptions in terms of how things should be done!! Well, I'm also a movie watcher & intending for a longtime to have a proper home theatre setup to relish watching every single movie I wish to watch. Considering the fact, I truly appreciate all your knowledge on sound system and for sharing with your caring mentality. I indeed got some ideas from you regarding how probably I might set my home theatre up 🥰 So very sincere thanks to you my friend... 🙏
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Incredible design and planning. My fave videos of the year: Mission 770, JBL Bar 5.1, and the ProJect Speaker Box 5 S2. The latter two of which may be my next purchases. Great job, as always, and great year for the channel! Congrats!
Congrats on the Klipsch home theater setup. I remember my 1st Klipsch HT system some 20+ years ago when it was 5.1, and just starting out. Fronts 93 Khorns, rears 00 LaScalas, center KLFC7, subwoofer was the Velodyne FSR18. All into the Marantz Reference SR18EX A/V receiver, followed by 5 separate Marantz MA700 mono block amps, with the Marantz DV12S1 player. Enjoy the experience, loved mine back then.
The unique workarounds and bts stuff for the new house was awesome but I agree with kristi as the Polk video really helped me realize that I could get into the bones of this joint without having to covet speakers made from unobtainium (stolen from you all lol). You all are awesome and I’ve loved seeing you grow and evolve over the years. I have a set of Fives in my office thanks to you and am nearing completion of my Polk reserve setup in the living room as well in part to your (and the channels) guidance! Ty for all you do ❤🎉
Hi guys. Thanks so much for this post! While it may have been focused on your home theatre, I was focused on your home. I love what you've done with it. It's a calm, restful home, so easy on the eyes, while not being boring. There's lots of texture and luxury afoot. (And I'm a huge fan of your slatted walls.) It's also spacious, which brings up a question I may have asked before: have you tamed it well? I imagine it could be prone to a lot of echo. Thanks again and all the best in 2023. I look forward to more Sunday afternoons with you. Cheers from Nova Scotia.
Thank you for your comment and kind words. To your question, first, reflections (aka echo or reverb) aren't automatically bad. In truth, you want a nice balance of reverb and absorption for best results. If a room is too dead it will sound like --well, dead. Now, obviously we couldn't leave the room(s) alone, or leave them how they appear in our BTS walk-through footage seen in this video. Upon move in our rooms had decay times of well over a second. In the main room we just showed you the decay or RTA time is now down to a nice 0.5 - 0.6, which is what I wanted to achieve. So in the room you hear no excessive reverb. But if I were to talk to you in our kitchen some 20 or so feet away there is still some reverb in the kitchen --but that's fine. As you move about our open spaces you can definitely hear a difference one room to the next, but for the purposes of critical listening and evaluating we just need to make sure our primary listening space/area/chair etc. is balanced and free of any issues and we've done that.
Your videos on the focal 826 and the emotiva basx amps were my favorite and helped me to pull the trigger on my first Hi-Fi home theater setup with separates. My hearing isn't so great after the army so I really wanted something with good clarity that doesn't have to be loud as hell in order for me to hear it.
I’d have to agree that the acoustic treatment video in your new place was inspiring for some of my future projects. 🙌 Congrats on another year’s worth of stellar content. And congrats on another listening/testing space fit for a magazine. 🤘
Andrew, great video, also have all Klipsch in the living room home theater. Can you do some checking on the new Klipsch Heritage "The Nines" and maybe make a video?
My favorite was the Bose 600. (Not because I love Bose-quite the opposite) That video changed the way I thought about them. I’m now going to demo the 600 vs Sonos beam. Thanks for sharing a view that I would’ve dismissed
@@andrewrobinsonreviews They are all vintage heritage with exponential horns. Belle fronts, the precursor to the modern Lascala, Heresy ii side surrounds, Forte I as backs and the only heritage center speaker that Paul Klipsch touched called an Academy. This speaker uses the same horn tweeter as the Forte and Heresy located between two 8in mid/bass woofers.
I love the dedicated theater, especially with kids and the projector in a windowless room. Any other room a bar/sub or 2.1 is all I can really do with kids. Previous house they were in the way in a main room.
Your buildout of that living room/theater is so well done!. So clean and modern looking, it's beautiful. It's inspired me to remodel my ugly living room / theater. I liked the videos of your remodel. And the B&W 805's. Someday.
Favorite video is definitely this one as I’m a big fan of interior design. Really enjoy all your videos though, very easy to understand and I’m never unsure of how different items compare. Wish you had mentioned which screen you’re mainly using. Happy new year!
So nice to see someone giving love to the B&W ASW608. I have one paired with some Tekton Lore References, as it’s the only sub I’ve found that pairs well with them. And they need it, cuz they got no bass.
My favorite was the Marantz Receiver. It was nice to finally shine a light on just how good Marantz receivers are. I have been using them for over 15 years, and even though I eventually moved on to Marantz Separates, I still believe Marantz has the best bang-for-buck receivers.
Man, that sub looks so tiny in the corner! That being said, I've heard that particular sub before and it's surprisingly beefy with its' sound. Awesome setup!
I enjoyed the Cinema 50 review, I liked it so much I returned the Denon 3800 and bought the Cinema 50. Thanks for all you two do, Cheers and all the best in 2023!
Thank you both for an amazing year of content and all the work you put into each and every one of them! My favorite video was definitely the R700 video. I'd been trying to find my "forever" speakers (in MY price range and budget) and that helped seal the deal for me. I've always wanted another set of higher end B&Ws but they're just out of my price range - by a large margin! The R700s have nestled their way into my heart and living room now and I couldn't be happier. That video came at a perfect time for me and I loved seeing your enthusiasm towards them, along with the great discussions in the posts about price vs value, etc. I'd have to say my 2nd favorite was the ProJect Speaker Box 5 S2 review though.... it was fun to see a small speaker that nobody would have expected.... do so well - and I LOVED the green color they sent you!
The Onkyo TX-RZ50 review was my favorite. So good I bought one. Had some issues with the old TV so I got an 85 inch Sony BRAVIA XR X90K. All Klipsch speakers 7.1.2 set up. Love it theater complete. Thanks for all the reviews. Have a Happy New Year!

Hey andrew, was wondering where you were going to put the 805 d4.
Please hold onto that refreshing individualism, professionalism and excitement in your videos. Following many HIFI and Home Audio channels, you two stand out for not taking this hobby too serious and not being elitist. This channel has always been my go to source for informative, high quality and fun reviews. I love your conversations at the end and the Polk R700 review showed that you are passionate, down to earth and really care. You deserve the best for 2023.
You're not alone Andrew, almost every dedicated theater I've ever seen built has quickly become a kids play area or a forgotten remnant of a nice dream. Out of sight really is out of mind. I've helped more than a few people design their dream homes and I always advise against dedicated in home recreation spaces. As in almost every case they get relegated to storage or junk rooms and it's expensive square footage to waste. Incorporating a home theater into the main living area really is the best idea for most people. Other recreational pursuits are best done in a separate building outside the home where your time can be focused on your passion and not splitting time between switching over laundry loads or helping with homework. If someone tells me they don't really have the time to go to a dedicated out building then I ask what makes them think they will have the time if such a space exists inside their home. If you won't walk across your driveway to get to your so called passion then you won't walk upstairs to a bonus room to do it either.
I'll even give an example from a home I helped a co-worker design about eight years ago. They took a stock plan and asked for help modifying it. The upstairs basically had two large attic areas that could either be finished or not. The couple thought (my co-workers husband, honestly) it would be wonderful to have a dedicated home theater. This room would be on the far back side of the home, upstairs and away from the kitchen and family area. I advised to use a different plan altogether but if not then build the theater in the main living area instead and we would modify the plan to suit. Nope, they wouldn't do it. Okay, $85,000 later for the finishing of attic space, equipment, theater chairs etc, etc... and they watched approximately ten movies over the course of six months by their own estimate and hadn't used the space for anything other than hosting their kids birthday parties in the last seven years. Now they use the new scaled down theater in the living room which cost an additional $70,000 (summer of 2021 expensive construction) including $20,000 just for all the revision work and remodeling needed to install the equipment the way it should have been done in the first place. The total cost if done at the time of construction would have been around $45,000. Before that the once proud (hard headed) theater king used a sound bar in the living room for six years. So, add it all up and these folks spent $155,000 total on home theater setups that should have cost them just $45,000 because they discovered dedicated rooms are inconvenient, isolating and have to be cleaned, maintained and paid for in the monthly mortgage but with very little use for the effort.
So here is what I learned since subscribing to your channel as a member this year. I came to your channel because I wanted to get into home theatre. I was already steeped in the dark hole of audio spending thousands upon thousands on everything including outrageously expensive cables, interconnects and power blocks not to mention lots on turntables, speakers and tube gear. I lost the enjoyment of listening to music and became addicted to listening to equipment never satisfied. Out of frustration I locked all my equipment in the basement, with my 5,000 plus LPs, and 3,000 CDs twenty years ago.. I only listened to music live in small jazz venues which I have done since I was 15 years of age and am now 73. I still go with my wife of 40 years to a live jazz club every Saturday night because of the love of music. I can without question say that if you want to be in love with your spouse for 40 years find something you both love and share and keep doing it like you did when you first met and were dating. Since I joined your channel I purchased the Onkyo RZ 50, the Polk R 700s, the Polk R400 Center channel speaker, the SVS 3000 micro, the Bluesound Node, some Decware cables and a miniDSP SHD so I have both the ability to tune my room using Dirac and EQ the result as the SHD give you both options. I've used all your links so I hope you were compensated for that. What I learned is I'm not attracted to the blockbuster type movies that allow me to hear full surround sound with Dolby Atmos. I still prefer foreign films with subtitles where surround sound does not really matter although I do listen in Dolby surround. What you have both done for me however is renewed my enjoyment of listening to music in my home. I have unpacked the LPs and CDs, unpacked my Merrill turntable with the ETII arm and will be getting the Ortofon Black you recommend. So even though Home theatre turned out not be all that important to me, you have rekindled my love of of sitting down to a great album and listening to the music and not the equipment and for that I love you both. Happy New Year, be well! and I hope you had a chance to download the image I made you for your Instagram channel.
Forgot I also bought the Emotiva mono amps
Be sure to watch until the end because I really am curious what your answers are going to be to our Question of the Day! Thanks so much for watching!
Absolutely the special conversion part of the R700 video. Validation. It was a great mirror provided to review our hobbies/personal interests/"investments". And I think Andrew's answer was as good & honest as Kristi's question.
I wonder what she would think of the Boucardt a700 speaker based on its implementations of different master tunings
I think I have to mention that all movies today, from streaming to theatrical, are 7.1.4 at the minimum. This is the starting point these days. Also this 7.1.4 is the standard for Atmos Music.
My favorite videos (sorry can't remember if it's one or two), are those about the construction of the space and acoustics. I think that it's a good idea to add more videos and suggestions like these in your future content. Also, if I an allowed to ask, I am very interested to see your house guys. Make a video about that, if course only what you want to share. I am full in about interior design to.
Thank you for the time to share this year with us. Have a great new one.
I agree with Kristy on the R700 video. I particularly liked that one...and the video of how you guys treated your room acoustically. Both were great.
Thank you for answering the QOD Guvinder! Appreciate you watching. Have a happy New Year!
🙏
@@KristiWright Wishing both of you a Happy New Year! I love your channel because you regularly engage with the subscribers.. several times throughout the year I had questions and always got a response. Keep up the great work in 2023!
My favorite videos are of you designing your living room space to be inviting and not a dark media room. I was going into home theater as the traditional designs go. But now I want to copy your atmos and surround setup for that same flexibility. With big and bright tv too. Projectors can eat it. Your design details and purpose for home spaces are so helpful. I’m taking notes for my setup as well.
We'll be live in a couple of hours th-cam.com/users/live9r5cjFw_4SY?si=KXuSwtrzr9n6pmnO where we may have some updates about our room.
The slat wall video was great, really opened up my eyes to what can be done to fix your room without a bunch of movie poster acoustic panels everywhere
So glad you found it to be inspirational! Thank you so much for watching today Tanner!
I absolutely loved the DIY spirit of the acoustic treatments video. I also have a challenging room to address and seeing what you were able to do was very inspiring! Thank you for all the hard work on our account!
So glad you found it inspiring! Thanks so much for watching!
I love that the left and right match the coffee table and the center matched the eames
I purchased custom Cornwall IV (indian rosewood, sheepskin grills) after watching your initial video on your Cornwalls. They are my reference speakers and I love them.
NICE!
I LOVE ❤️ THE CORNWALLS IN YOUR ROOM AND YOUR LIVING ROOM IS AMAZING 🤩, IMHHO
SO…I think this video and your remodeling video were my favorites 👍💚💚💚
I've been asking for a heritage subwoofer and center for YEARS!!
I have a Klipsch Palladium full surround system and know they can make a crazy 3-way center if they want like they used to.
I agree with you Andrew the home renovation doing the slat wall was my favorite and it's still a statement price
Considering I'm a complete beginner to this arena I can't stop watching your videos! Hooked! Really love them, kudos to the pair of you
If you ever have any questions just leave 'em in the comments or join us on a live stream! Thanks so much for watching!
FYI - we stream every 3rd Thursday.
I think my favourite video was the KEF LS60 wireless 🎉
And thank you for a whole year of amazing videos. I hope you all have some time for some good holiday. And I’ll see you all next year! 😊😊
My favorites were all the renovation videos AND all the Polk videos you've done
Thank you so much for letting us know, we appreciate it!
My favorite video (I’ve only seen two) is your acoustic sound treatment to your living room making the wood slats.
For the center channel. I'd say try the Def Tech center speakers. They are clear and full of mid too. You'll love it.
Hi Andrew and Kristi, I'm a new subscriber as of this year as well as new to this hobby. Your channel has by far and away been the most helpful resource I've come across when trying to learn about home audio. Just wanted to say that and thank you for all of your hard work!! Keep it up in 2023!! Cheers from Chicagoland!
Thank you so much!
I have a huge home renovation starting in 2 weeks (which I'm equal parts excited and terrified for), so your home theatre renovation videos have been hugely influential in planning my dream basement home theatre. Paradigm Monitor SE 5.1 speakers, with 4 Paradigm in-ceiling speakers to timbre match, Onkyo RZ50 driving the 5.1.4 speakers, but also consideration for room correction (Dirac), acoustic treatments, and furniture stylings, which has helped greatly with buy-in with my wife. She chose the furniture, I grabbed the gear, and together we get our dream basement setup. Thanks to you both, Andrew and Kristi! All the best in 2023.
The Elysian 4's were my favorite. One day I will buy them, mark my words!
Your review on the new B&W 800 series speakers was the best! Personal, emotional, exciting, endearing and just overall fun to watch.
Lime washing!!!! Thanks for all the content. It is extremely helpful.
My favorite videos from you are the ones where you talk about your personal collection because, while you always do a great job of providing a great review, it's always nice to know what you think is worth spending your money on to have and enjoy in your personal set up.
The wall building video was the Best. BUT, the last video came close. I like videos were you talk and deal with REAL world compromises (was that a real sentence!?). Audio and living room is full of compromises - like life and relationships (my wife hopefully doesn’t read this 😅😊).
I have to say I enjoy the live streams the most (even though I've only ever caught one live!)
They have a good community and it feels like you can participate, interact and show appreciation for what you two do... as well as see more of your personalities.
Loved hearing about all sorts from Whiskey to cars and how you guys met.
I look forward to every video you do and can't wait to see what next year has in store.
Have an amazing 2023!!!!
Honestly I like your top videos. You did an awesome job reviewing them I felt it was a great conversation.
Thanks so much!
Finally did it. The Cornwalls were out of our budget unfortunately so we went with 3 Heresy IVs in black ash. While the stereo imaging made for a perfect center channel (just like you said of the cornwall's), it only worked great sitting in one spot with the speakers point straight at me. The Heresy IV as a center is amazing. Perfect clarity across the entire very large room. Final stages of a living room/kitchen remodel and the TV and sound engulf both the kitchen and living areas. We often sit at the bar area in the kitchen and with this setup, audio video are perfect everywhere. I HIGHLY recommend the Heresy IV as a center channel. Now, can you get one wrapped to match your amazing Cornwalls! FYI, now my surrounds and ATMOS speakers kinda suck but are OK with some tweaking....... Older version of the same Klipsch in ceilings y'all put in... You earned what ever sponsorship Klipsh gives you (if any) on these videos, thank you!
*Livestreams. Because its a sitdown, conversation. Kristi manages the questions, and AR, gives the first answer, Kristi then gives us the real answer. That is my favorite. Nobody does it better than you two. Thanks for your help.
The sound treatment video was my favorite. DIY, issues, back up plans. Felt like real life.
I enjoyed the R700 review. It was great to see you get really juiced about something like that. I also really enjoyed the one where you described how you did the room correct slats on the wall. That was inspiring, and will end up costing me some time and money! I hope you two have a great new year. Looking forward to all of your content in 2023.
@R I'm sorry to hear you were not happy with the R700s. May I ask what speakers you tend to gravitate towards and which tweeters have you preferred? Also, what is your room like in terms of size? I admit I'm surprised at your experience. I've yet to come across anyone with this particular complaint.
@@andrewrobinsonreviews I bought Klipsch RP8000F II… before your review of the R700. I am happy with them, but had I read the review BEFORE my purchase, I would have spent a bit more for the R700. Too bad he already returned them. We could have arranged a trade
I also really liked the room treatment video. Wish I could do something to my room as well.
And thanks for helping me select my system, Klipsch rp 8000fs, bluesound streamer (hdmi arc ftw) and a XTZ a2-300 amplifier.
Does everything I want, and I can melt my neighbours ears with my metal music. 😁🎶
Happy New Year!
Hello from my Back yard chores
hahaha
QOTD: My favorite videos this year were the room renovation video that you cited Andrew, along with the monthly Thursday live chats, which is where I try to learn a thing or two. For product reviews, the Q Acoustics Concept 50 and Lii Audio come to mind, and finally, the revisit video where you re-tested speakers in your new living space and compared their sound signature to the Texas house, loved that video! Thanks for the great content, looking forward to 2023!
Thanks for another great year of reviews, you guy's are great👍🤟 My favorite video was when you went back on some of the speakers from old home to new home....Still loving my Klipsch Heresy IV😆😆😆😆😆
Love the Heresy IVs! Which finish did you go with?
@KristiWright went with the black to match fireplace and matching cabinets. I love the finish you guys have on your Cornwall, I wish I knew you could do that.
My favorite was the living room makeover video and if we are talking about audio videos, probably the Project Audio Speakers...(that green).... Love it because it was a very pleasant surprise. Happy new year guys and see you all in the new year!
Thanks for letting us know Koiworks84. See you Sunday in the New Year!
Those speakers were such a surprise! They're so good!! For anyone curious, you can find them here bit.ly/3Ak39C6. And no, the cheaper ones you can find on Amazon are NOT THE SAME 😂.
Hi Andrew! Hi from Belize! I love everything Klipsch, so naturally I love this review!!! My Fives are still fantastic!
I really enjoyed the Pro-Ject speaker box video. They are great looking bookshelf’s and didn’t even see them on my radar.
They weren't on ANYONE's radar! Sleeper hit of the year!
I love my 3 Cornwalls LCR. The only significant modification was to raise my 77 inch LG above the center Cornwall which we quickly adjusted to. With Denon 8500, two SVS SB3000 subs, 4 SVS elevations for Atmos, this is the best system I ever had.
Damn, that system sounds amazing!
Thank you for all the great content in 2022. Have a Happy New Year!
*I've been following this channel for quite awhile now and I plan on doing so throughout 2023.*
Congrats on the new setup! Happy New Year's as well.
My favourites were the Polk R700 and Marantz Cinema 50 videos. After watching them countless times, and your other videos, it has helped me to shape an idea of what I wanted for my first home theatre system. So to start with I've purchased both. Thank you for all the good work you continue to keep doing, signed an avid fan from the UK.
Love the channel. I love the realizum... as dumb as that sounds.... love the permission to like what I like. I tried not to like my standard klipsch, thinking I was being too klipché but I just love them. Kristies comments are unique, and appreaciated and carry a lot of weight, and yes, it is because she is female... happy 2023 ill be going with the RZ50 if my 3700H can't be repaired for my 7.4.4 on your advice and the Kliptch integration!
Amazing review. Thank you so much for ending the year with a bang. Keep up the great I love you too guys. Keep up the great work. See you next year work
.F
my most anticipated was the lumina v review, because that range has so much competition and I wanted some validation that I made the right choice lol 😂
I truly think you two would love Rythmik subs. They blend so incredibly well with any speaker setup. So precise in bass without being boomy like Klipsch subs can get.
The R700 episode was the first to come to mind from a subject matter point of view, but the two that stood out most was when Kristi talked about her grandmother, as well as the Roe v. Wade decision. It was a wonderful reminder that there is life beyond TH-cam videos. Real people make these videos and we all need to be reminded of that every now and then. There’s more to TH-cam than just people filming others at their worst or humans getting hurt being stupid and looking for likes. God bless both of you.
I really enjoy all the reviews but the one that I listen to the most is the review of the Klipsch RP 8000f. I actually got a pair based on your review. Resently my Klipsch SPL 150 sub stopped working and I had to take it back to the store that I got it from so that they can take a look at it, so now the LFE is being routed to the 8000f and they actually do kick like a Clydesdale horse 🐎, when I listen to that review it helps me learn a little more about that speaker.
Thanks for all your reviews and hopefully I'll see you Sunday.
Audio quality in your videos is a delight. I just have to mention it one more time 😄
It's so nice to see someone not sitting at a desk, with a big microphone in their face, wearing headphones! You really are a great "after" example!
Job well done !! 2022 was not easy, and you held to your high standard! Professional, objective with a hint of why your way comes to be... Mostly : independent, these day daring saying the (your) truth without fearing your providers and comments !! So many other channels do smell the pleasing the brand because they are probably paid a way or the other. We'll see you in 2023!!
Favorite video of the year was the R700 review. Not because I have them but for exactly what Kristy was referencing.
My favorite review(s) of this year are all of the ones that referenced, and therefore warranted, a shot of your Cornwalls. I want to renovate my whole f**kin house just so it would visually work with a set of those Cornwalls.
Thanks for the heads up that you would be featuring them again. I would miss 90% of the movies, because I would be staring at them the whole time. Happy New Year to you guys, all the best to you and Kristi.
My Favorite vid of the year was the RP 8000 review. Inspired my whole RP 7.2.4 Setup!
Great hanging with you for another year. Hearts to you both and I look forward to more out-of-my-price-range fun.
For some reason even if I'm not looking to upgrade soon, the Mission 770. Also the Samsung S95B just because I was heavily considering a stupid buy and buying it during black friday and this made me see I made a good choice waiting it out. Love your channel, good job A & K !!!
My favourite video was the Epson LS12000B review. Whilst you weren't overly complimentary about the future of front projection, I was impressed enough by the benefits and after further research purchased that very model. I'm in love with my night time viewing and I hope you'll continue to look into home theatre as your nuance and honesty are rare traits and greatly appreciated in this space.
Good morning from Boston (currently!) What a cool video, and I live all the work you put into clearly a project of true passion.
QOTD how do you pick a favorite? The last few months of the year really dialed up the honesty and had me laughing big time. R700, hifi Rose, and NAD to name a few (for different reasons). I can't wait to see where you take us next year!
😍
This is my favorite of the year because this video is a personal review of something you will use long term. Thanks for sharing.
I stumbled over your channel about 2 months ago and felt directly that this was for me. I don't know which video is best but I like when you review more odd things but also the videos that include stuff a normal person can afford. Thanks for a great year and keep up the good work!
Favorite was the Polk R700 video. I’m curious about a hidden Kanto YU passive for a center channel
I absolutely love that you guys read trough the comments and help us out personally.
As for my favorite video, it has to be the Polk xt60 review as I want to build a relatively inexpensive home theater… really can’t wait for the Yamaha a-4a review.
Awesome content & Happy New Year! Favorite video Polk R700 helped me pickup the R400 Center and Tower Pair.
Happy New Year to you too David. Thank you for tuning in!
Appreciate you watching to the end of the video and answering our question!
HNY, David!
@@KristiWright Thank you very much. I would like to compliment you guys on your furniture aesthetics and colors. We have bronze concrete polished floors here and utilize lighter furniture. Always fun to see how aesthetics & color pallet plays out with your favorite reviewers. Thanks for sharing.
Those Cornwalls are beautiful for sure
The response of the Cornwall's with the Yamaha is fantastic and much better than I thought it would be. Congratulations on your new setup it's fantastic!
My favorite videos this year were the slat wall video and the Denon X1700h review. I’m building my first system right now, so the channel was super great to watch this year!
Thank you for the reviews and content . I hope you are both having a lovely time during this festive period. I can't wait for next year's reviews. 10/10
Thank you so very, very much George! Here's to an even bigger 2023!
😍
Dear Andew,
I seriously appreciate your wonderfully detailed descriptions in terms of how things should be done!!
Well,
I'm also a movie watcher & intending for a longtime to have a proper home theatre setup to relish watching every single movie I wish to watch.
Considering the fact, I truly appreciate all your knowledge on sound system and for sharing with your caring mentality.
I indeed got some ideas from you regarding how probably I might set my home theatre up
🥰
So very sincere thanks to you my friend...
🙏
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Incredible design and planning. My fave videos of the year: Mission 770, JBL Bar 5.1, and the ProJect Speaker Box 5 S2. The latter two of which may be my next purchases. Great job, as always, and great year for the channel! Congrats!
The Bar and Speaker Box 5 S2 speakers were highlights for sure! Thanks so much for watching!
+1 for the JBL. Doesn't matter what much more "exotic" systems I listen to, JBL speakers always leave me most satisfied.
Congrats on the Klipsch home theater setup. I remember my 1st Klipsch HT system some 20+ years ago when it was 5.1, and just starting out. Fronts 93 Khorns, rears 00 LaScalas, center KLFC7, subwoofer was the Velodyne FSR18. All into the Marantz Reference SR18EX A/V receiver, followed by 5 separate Marantz MA700 mono block amps, with the Marantz DV12S1 player. Enjoy the experience, loved mine back then.
The unique workarounds and bts stuff for the new house was awesome but I agree with kristi as the Polk video really helped me realize that I could get into the bones of this joint without having to covet speakers made from unobtainium (stolen from you all lol). You all are awesome and I’ve loved seeing you grow and evolve over the years. I have a set of Fives in my office thanks to you and am nearing completion of my Polk reserve setup in the living room as well in part to your (and the channels) guidance! Ty for all you do ❤🎉
Klipsch did make an excellent center channel for the Heritage line - it was the Academy. It was made back during the Forte II era.
Hi guys. Thanks so much for this post! While it may have been focused on your home theatre, I was focused on your home. I love what you've done with it. It's a calm, restful home, so easy on the eyes, while not being boring. There's lots of texture and luxury afoot. (And I'm a huge fan of your slatted walls.)
It's also spacious, which brings up a question I may have asked before: have you tamed it well? I imagine it could be prone to a lot of echo.
Thanks again and all the best in 2023. I look forward to more Sunday afternoons with you. Cheers from Nova Scotia.
Thank you for your comment and kind words. To your question, first, reflections (aka echo or reverb) aren't automatically bad. In truth, you want a nice balance of reverb and absorption for best results. If a room is too dead it will sound like --well, dead. Now, obviously we couldn't leave the room(s) alone, or leave them how they appear in our BTS walk-through footage seen in this video. Upon move in our rooms had decay times of well over a second. In the main room we just showed you the decay or RTA time is now down to a nice 0.5 - 0.6, which is what I wanted to achieve. So in the room you hear no excessive reverb. But if I were to talk to you in our kitchen some 20 or so feet away there is still some reverb in the kitchen --but that's fine. As you move about our open spaces you can definitely hear a difference one room to the next, but for the purposes of critical listening and evaluating we just need to make sure our primary listening space/area/chair etc. is balanced and free of any issues and we've done that.
This place is amazing! Andrew and Kristi, so happy for this success here's to many more years of great reviews and new experiments!
Your videos on the focal 826 and the emotiva basx amps were my favorite and helped me to pull the trigger on my first Hi-Fi home theater setup with separates. My hearing isn't so great after the army so I really wanted something with good clarity that doesn't have to be loud as hell in order for me to hear it.
I have to agree with Kristi. The R700 but I admit, I am one of the viewers that thought you overreacted to the renovation stress. Happy New Year!!!
I’d have to agree that the acoustic treatment video in your new place was inspiring for some of my future projects. 🙌 Congrats on another year’s worth of stellar content. And congrats on another listening/testing space fit for a magazine. 🤘
🙏
Thank you Ealan!
Thank you both for another year of top notch content. The JBL 4309 review was my favorite and I still lust for those speakers to this day.
Andrew, great video, also have all Klipsch in the living room home theater. Can you do some checking on the new Klipsch Heritage "The Nines" and maybe make a video?
My favorite was the Bose 600. (Not because I love Bose-quite the opposite) That video changed the way I thought about them. I’m now going to demo the 600 vs Sonos beam. Thanks for sharing a view that I would’ve dismissed
Absolutely love this comment, Terry.
@@KristiWright I love this comment too! Love seeing people challenge their own preconceived ideas.
Absolutely the discussion around the Polks! Looking forward to 2023 guys!!
This one! I have heritage for all seven floor speakers.
WHOA! Which speakers?
@@andrewrobinsonreviews They are all vintage heritage with exponential horns. Belle fronts, the precursor to the modern Lascala, Heresy ii side surrounds, Forte I as backs and the only heritage center speaker that Paul Klipsch touched called an Academy. This speaker uses the same horn tweeter as the Forte and
Heresy located between two 8in mid/bass woofers.
I love the dedicated theater, especially with kids and the projector in a windowless room. Any other room a bar/sub or 2.1 is all I can really do with kids. Previous house they were in the way in a main room.
Your buildout of that living room/theater is so well done!. So clean and modern looking, it's beautiful. It's inspired me to remodel my ugly living room / theater. I liked the videos of your remodel. And the B&W 805's. Someday.
Favorite video is definitely this one as I’m a big fan of interior design. Really enjoy all your videos though, very easy to understand and I’m never unsure of how different items compare. Wish you had mentioned which screen you’re mainly using. Happy new year!
Hi Bill, the screen is the Sony noted in the description.
@@KristiWright gotcha
Polk R700 Review was exactly what I tune into any reviewers for! Honesty
So nice to see someone giving love to the B&W ASW608. I have one paired with some Tekton Lore References, as it’s the only sub I’ve found that pairs well with them. And they need it, cuz they got no bass.
My favorite was the Marantz Receiver. It was nice to finally shine a light on just how good Marantz receivers are. I have been using them for over 15 years, and even though I eventually moved on to Marantz Separates, I still believe Marantz has the best bang-for-buck receivers.
The best of video was the best one of the year.
Man, that sub looks so tiny in the corner! That being said, I've heard that particular sub before and it's surprisingly beefy with its' sound. Awesome setup!
Can't pick a favorite. Love your channel sooo much! It always brightens my day. It's my happy place.
Dual SVS SB-3000’s with the app’s EQ are fast and blend very nicely with La Scala’s. Plus, they go deeep. Great video!
I enjoyed the Cinema 50 review, I liked it so much I returned the Denon 3800 and bought the Cinema 50. Thanks for all you two do, Cheers and all the best in 2023!
Thank you both for an amazing year of content and all the work you put into each and every one of them! My favorite video was definitely the R700 video. I'd been trying to find my "forever" speakers (in MY price range and budget) and that helped seal the deal for me. I've always wanted another set of higher end B&Ws but they're just out of my price range - by a large margin! The R700s have nestled their way into my heart and living room now and I couldn't be happier. That video came at a perfect time for me and I loved seeing your enthusiasm towards them, along with the great discussions in the posts about price vs value, etc. I'd have to say my 2nd favorite was the ProJect Speaker Box 5 S2 review though.... it was fun to see a small speaker that nobody would have expected.... do so well - and I LOVED the green color they sent you!
One of my favorites for sure was the one where Kristi had you laughing and laughing, but I dont remember what the product was..
the Fives from klipsch is my favourite video of all
I like the KLIPSCH KORNWALL speakers also. My local dealer is regularly using them.
this one my favourite...
The Onkyo TX-RZ50 review was my favorite. So good I bought one. Had some issues with the old TV so I got an 85 inch Sony BRAVIA XR X90K. All Klipsch speakers 7.1.2 set up. Love it theater complete. Thanks for all the reviews. Have a Happy New Year!
