Are they bright in person?
@JohnMoog-ug6bk Nope, not at all they have a warmth to them, and the Acoustics panels are a huge investment!
Is the tweeter too metallic or bright?
@@JohnMoog-ug6bk beryllium
its so beautiful...........📈💯❣
I bought a carbon fiber 2.1 hdmi and its badass
They last a long time
Why are you sorry about the Johnny Cash t shirt? No need to be sorry when wearing an awesome shirt. I live near Nashville btw and have been to the Johnny Cash museum. So awesome 😎
@hometheaterfever5 I didn't want anyone getting offended by the middle finger on the T-shirt. I have also been to the Johnny Cash museum as well. I didn't want to leave!
Congrats on this TT! I still Have the Marantz. May I please have your advice. I am a newbie and have a tough time getting real world answers. If you still had Marantz and wanted to upgrade the Virtuoso 1 cartridge, what would you upgrade to? I would like it to be not over 1000.00. I want an upgrade, not a venture into a possible nee TT all together. Was the CA Performer 2 a significant sound quality upgrade? How about Ortofon Bronze? What's your pick to upgrade my existing Virtuoso 1 cartridge?
@woobiecat5631 If you don't want a new TT, I would go with the ClearAudio Vituoso cartridge I use to have it on my Marantz TT-15S1 TT It's a huge difference!
There’s sound coming from the sub can that be turned off like during movies
@everyday_life1991 This video was obviously taken years ago I no longer own it. They also discontinued this subwoofer!
Looks great 👍 no audio though? 🤔 I run a Yamaha RX-A8A with 7.4.2 with Definitive Technologies powered towers and surround . I run a crystal Clear and constant comfortable 114 db. ( I built it to go louder ) but at 60 🤷♂️. On a side note I love the B&O in my truck, it’s wonderful.
@Krashintexas Thanks! This video wasn't intended for audio. As mentioned above. To check out my audio demos, I have so many of them on my channel.
How did you hide the prime elevation cables?
@bizmofunyuns6463 The cables are running through white tubes above
What is your opinion about isoacoustic gaia 2s? What did you hear from focals when installed them?
@@CercaTrova13 Better bass response and made the Kanta 2 open up even more, They work like they claim! I was skeptical at first.
Are you from Maryland??
@@BarrySmith-ny6ng No, Delco
Sorry that you fell for the snake oil that is AudioQuest.
@greggb681 Audioquest is an excellent company, or they wouldn't be around.
@@mikez-ht7706my entire ht and two channel system is audioquest. Like it or not I haven't had a single issue with any cables. Worth it for that peace of mind alone.
Also, I really like the vinyl storage unit. Do you have the plans used to build it? That would work great in my room.
@@mogdimitysplitz3216 Look for the plans on Etsy.
Excellent setup!! I love that your spouse allows you to enjoy this hobby in an open living room space. You've got a good one! Thanks for sharing.
@mogdimitysplitz3216 Thanks! Yes, she is a keeper, I'm lucky to have transferred our living room into a Hometheater room. We both highly enjoy it!
Wow, I don’t know how you fit everything in there. Obviously, this is very high-end. Real estate is at a premium and it’s a miracle you fit all that in there😮. I think most people would be fine with a 3.1 or 5.1 there. For Atmos and rears folks could do 6 ceiling speakers that are same color as ceiling (no treatments). A white SVS 3000 Micro or KEF KF92 would save some space along with a wireless transmitter in the rear. New cabinet to hide electronics. NAD 7 channel amp is a bit overkill except for LR which are very high end and need the best power. But it’s an amazing amp but so is the 8015. Obviously you wanted the best and you got 2 of them for separates. And the LCR are top of the line and look amazing. I’d go light on the vinyl cabinets and over the TV and look at different window treatments.
@@techsamurai11 Thanks for sharing your dreams!
And honestly the new SVS Evolution sound better than all the Focal up to the Kanta 1. To my ears.
Plus youtube on a samsung phone doesn't do it justice. Should hear in person.
I have spent many hours listening to all the levels of focal from the Arias to the grand utopias. The best sounding of the lot to my ears were the Kantas No.3. But honestly the La Scalas sound better in my opinion.
Greetings from Austria! This Setup is build with much Love, very very fine
@@AntonTrinkler Thanks for the kind words!
The Choras with a pair of REL T9x’s subs . Choras in my mind are better for my ears with the subs .
Your home theater setup is fantastic and you are interested in using a universal remote in your home theater?
@@sofabaton Thanks! I forgot to mention I own the Harmony Elite
@@mikez-ht7706 Well, if you're interested in checking out our remotes please feel free to contact me!😜
you need another sub, that would be a huge upgrade in sound
@garemz I only use the REL HT-1510 Predator for movies One is definitely all I need.
@@mikez-ht7706 trust me you dont get more bass with 2 you just get better bass with 2
Crazy good system, man! Can I pick your brain for a sec? I would like to get a turntable, but I have limited funds. Have you heard the Rega 8 Planar? Its about $3,500 U.S.
@borlach321 Thanks. Yes, I have they are also great solid Turntables and a great price!
Nice set up thanks for sharing!!

Tons of room treatment and super equipement for only 600 records? Did you just get into vinyl in 2020?

@@mikez-ht7706 Amazing setup. I have to give it to you on that. The mic you used to record this video's, audio did a stellar job also though I bet its even better in person :D Question for you about the panels. Do you feel they add what they promise? I've always been skeptical about them. Thanks for listing all that gear.
Thanks for tuning in! The GIKACOUSTIC panels was the biggest investment! I didn't think it could sound any better, but it works, it sounds like I upgraded my entire setup without needing an upgraded. It's definitely worth the money. It brings more details in everything and better bass response as well!
What amp are You running ?
@lumberjaxx3335 As of that time was the Marantz MM7055. I upgraded everything if you look at my recent videos. Got rid of that amp and purchased the NAD Masters M28 among a lot of new toys!
Chora was brighter. Kanta just as resolving but smoother with better bass
Are you okay ? Haven’t uploaded anything in a while .
@jerryandlisa27 Hi Jerry, I'm doing great! I've been very busy at work and going on vacation. Hey, thanks for checking in. I'm gonna try putting a video up this Friday. I know it's been a while.
Can wait have a safe vacation , looking forward to you next video.
Hi what kind of neon lights are you using ? Is the arm on the Marantz record player standard or a special ? Cool video nice Focal . 🤵🏼♂️🌌
@oscarjacobsen3995 The tonearm is from clearaudio that comes with the Marantz TT-15S1 TT. The neon lights I purchased at Homedepot, they are 3 little puck size led light tucked underneath with a remote. I upgraded everything, if your interested, feel free to check out the rest of my recent videos!
@@mikez-ht7706 Thank you Mike ! Sincerely nice of you the detailed info ! Noticed the actual Maratz record player earlier unawair it had a Clear Audio arm looks so nice . The neon leds are excellent . 🤵🏼♂️🌌
Hi… wat subwoofer ur using??
@@andyhoang1010 I'm using the REL HT-1510 Predator only for music .
Im using same kantas speakers as u.. was looking to add a sub to the system… been research and even rel recomended s510.. as kantas are fast speakers.. how do u find this ht1510 pairing with kantas?? Should i get the same sub as u or s510 is the one to go???(i only listen to music)
@andyhoang1010 the REL HT-1510 goes great with music as well and costs less than s510. It's a tough choice to make, I know,but I myself listen to 2.0 and more, so with the 1510 as I mentioned for movies. It's a hard question to answer,both are great subwoofers, but if you are saying you listen to music and want a sub for music, I'd say go with the s510. The HT-1510 is more made for Hometheater. But it still keeps up perfectly with the K2 The REL HT-1510 has a very tight fast bass response, just like the K2. I never audition the s510. BTW, in all my videos, the demo is also 2. 0 I was just doing some research, and Audioholis mentioned that the HT-1510 is an excellent choice for music as well.
@@mikez-ht7706 yes.. im aware that the 1510 price slightly less than s510.. thats why i want to seek for advices from people that hav similar syst like mine… i will keep in mind one more option ht1510… thx mikee
I can appreciate the honesty here. I just threw one of these on a McIntosh MT5 for shits and giggles and I actually think it’s pretty solid on first impression. I had a Hana ML on the MT2 for a while before selling it so I can’t really compare to the really expensive stuff but I’m not sure what they offer over a sub $500 cart for casual listening
what speakers are on your ceiling?
@@keeppushin They are the SVS Prime Elevation for Atmos.
Great looking system ! If I may suggest that the L and R speakers are better aligned if they are equidistant from your center channel . The phantom stereo image will be less inclined to drift to the left . The sub can move to the side and shouldn’t affect SQ . Enjoy your amazing system !
I'd like to know what kind of cables you are using. Cheers
@totalplonker824 Hi, For my Focal Kanta 2 and Kanta Center Channel and Chora 826 foe surrounds I'm using the Morrow Audio SP7 cables and AudioQuest power cords for all components and different HDMI from AudioQuest such as vodka, carbon, cinnamon, Don't ask me where AQ gets these weird names😀 Cheers.
Jesus it Sound Nice 👍🏻
What phono preamp are you using ?
@@jerryandlisa27 None. Going through the Marantz SR8015.
Wow what a sound and system....you are living the dream buddy.
That turntable is amazing switching from 33 rpm to 45 rpm was quick . It’s belt drive right ?
@@jerryandlisa27 The motor and belt are hidden from view, protected from dust and UV. They drive a precision machined aluminum sub-platter coupled to a 40mm thick polyoxymethylene (POM) platter with weighted rim, supported by Clearaudio’s patented CMB.
Amazing sound do you have a phono preamp ? Or are you using the marantz internal phono ? When you use external it’s night and day difference .
the 826 sound more open while the kanta 2 has a little more definition and low end.
Not sure what the total cost is usually Mike but if someone could get the Entire TT with the tracer tonearm and the V2 cartridge for $2500.00 would you say thats a good deal if the unit is new?
@tonyenglish5153 The unit was new, and I paid $10,000.00 Expensive yes but an amazing sounding TT
@@mikez-ht7706 Yes, it is Mike. I didn't get the same deal and went for the V2 cartridge which helped a little but still expensive and I look forward to getting it set up. Was it pretty straight forward set up?
Not sure what the total cost is usually Mike but if someone could get the Entire Clearaudio TT with the tracer tonearm and the V2 cartridge for $2500.00 would you say thats a good deal if the unit is new?
@tonyenglish5153 That's too good to be true(never happen)because the ClearAudio Charisma Cartridge goes for $2.200.00 by itself! I highly doubt you will get that for the price! I mentioned in the other response that the ClearAudio Performance DC air Turntable with tracertonearm retails for $ 3,600.00 and Clearaudio Charisma Cartridge is $10,000.00 That's not even included in the price of the ClearAudio 12v powerliner that is $800 that I own plus the HRS E1 Isolation Base that is $2,000.00 itself!
@@mikez-ht7706 Yes, I had to clarify with the seller. It was V2 cartridge($500.00), clear audio concept air Silver and black with the satisfy carbon tonearm and V2 cartridge. It was an open box apparently.
