You need to dust, heat and dirt kills electronics.
You’re right!
Y'all are so inspiring!! Training with the hills and altitude, the half marathon is going to be a piece of cake!! Love you guys!!❤
Love you too! Thank you!
Well done 👏🏼 👍🏼🏴🇬🇧
How were the tacos? Melted cheese?
Of course
Still using my +20 years old Philips Pronto programmable remote. Use the macros to turn everything on and to the right input. Best $400 I ever spent! I have the same projector as you, good but not great, but unbeatable at the $1300 I paid for it.
The two sets of connection, connected by the strip is used for biamping.
You’re totally right
I’m use a SofaBaton u2 and I like it
Excellent!
fantastic review
Glad you liked it!
The screen is not a sucker 🙄👎
Keep going mate 😊
Thanks ✌️
Hi there! Great to see something built on a normal persons budget. My theater has been a 20 year evolution. I just wanted to let you know there is a good theater in Salida, it's in my basement! If you are ever over this way you and your family have a standing invitation to stop by for a movie or two. I don't know how to get you my contact info on such a public forum. I don't do Facebook. I will check with my tech savy nephew on how to do it. I love your setup and bet you guys enjoy it!
Sounds great!
im confused why u dont use ur blu rays they will make ur theater sound insanely better then streaming since audio is very comrpessed on streaming
You are right of course. Mostly a matter of convenience and cost, and living in a very remote rural location where Amazon is about the only option
I love to see people use odd shaped small spaces as home theaters and you did an excellent job but I have a question,you’re using your LCR soundstage behind the screen so that means your screen is an acoustically transparent screen correct?? Because I didn’t hear you say that that screen was an Audio pass through screen.
Correct it is! I might have mentioned it in the 2nd video and not the first. Thanks for watching!

ok
Please check the battery chemistry before charging them. The typical charging voltage for VRLA (Lead Acid) batteries is not the same as for GEL batteries, and AGM batteries use a different voltage as well. Additionally, GEL and AGM batteries should not be equalized each month with high voltage. You should verify this on your charge controller and select the correct battery chemistry; otherwise, the batteries may degrade faster. Be careful this time , Good luck
This is great feedback. I asked this question to windy nation and was advised to use the “sealed” option on the charge controller. This is what I used last time as well however. I too was concerned that could be related - they say no?
Are those gel or AGM batteries? If so, they might be damaged, which could explain the false readings. I had the same type of batteries, and after about a year, they would fully charge in just half an hour, but then only provide 10 minutes of backup in the evening.
They are AGM. And I agree, I think they’re damaged. Will try the desulfator soon - and I’ll post the video to see how it goes!
It looks excellent. The dark walls make such a massive difference for contrast. I setup a theater in my guest house and painted the ceiling black and the walls dark purple. It made a big difference. Also that is a really creative way to mount your projector. Very nice.
Thank you!
How do the cerwin Vega sound for heights ? I’m looking for small profile speaker for heights myself. Thanks for the content.
So far, so good. No complaints!
Acoustic panels are the audio pads to tame reflections, I think that is what you meant to say.
Yes!
Is your go pro waterproof.?
Yes it is!
Hi from Colorado Springs
Hello!
Nice! The BenQ projector is great. I have the ht4550, LED light source. I recommend just staying with BenQ and getting a newer model, perhaps when the 5550 comes out in a few years.
I'm excited for an LED light source. Tired of replacing lamps!
Great video. Only problem was I felt very guilty watching it from the comfy sofa, knowing full well that I’ll get to see what you guys experience during the half marathon as well! Keep up the good work for all of us couch potatoes!
Let's hope! About 10 weeks to go...
Good character
Getting external amps would take some of the load off the Denon.
I'll have to look into it - I've never used an external amp
I’d love to go to D23! Definitely on my bucket list⭐️
You should!
Nice setup. I would take the Xbox off of the rug. Want air flow from bottom to top. Maybe mount it on the wall
Good call!
Use the hide it mount
I did the Tinkerbell half marathon many years ago. It was fun running down main street but I basically couldn't walk for a week after 😂😂
A week? I’m expecting 2 months of bed rest after
Yay!! Thanks for the shout out!!! 🎉 y'all are doing great!!
Thank you!
You pronounced DENON wrong - it's "Den-ON." A couple of other things: I just installed a new X2800 myself, coming from an old Onkyo 605, and because I was a diehard Onkyo fan, it took some getting used to in terms of the Denon layout (I'm still figuring things out). The Graphic EQ settings don't have to be connected to Audyssey - they can be manually adjusted. I leave it all off. Also, those surround features you mention in the AUDIO menu aren't really related to what you said; your comments are more closely matched to the settings in the SPEAKERS section. The Surround Parameter menu under AUDIO controls other functions in the AVR, and you have to have content already playing to adjust some of them (which is a complete pain).
Agreed with leaving graphic EQ off. I’ll take a look at what you’re saying about the audio menu, I might not fully understand what’s going on there. Thanks!
@@LakeCityAdventure I'm learning with you, brother! These new AVRs are unnecessarily complex and, what's worse, not built NEARLY as well as old ones.
Good job, great video!! I got a Benq Ht2060 and it looks amazing too.
I was confused at first with the windows, but that automatic blackout curtain is essential!! This is one of the coolest home theater setups I’ve seen!!!
Hey thanks!
I’m a big fan of the DIY home theater. Lets everyone know that you can use your own creativity, not break the bank and have a nice big screen theater experience at home. Pat yourself on the back. Nice job. I have the single row of seating in my home theater also which gives everyone a good seat to watch the movie. Decorations make the room look comfortable. Good work.
What a nice comment! Thank you!
Very nice! Could you run wire through the ceiling instead of the chase?
The angled ceiling mirrors the roof which is right above the drywall, with insulation and metal roofing, so I don’t think so. Good thought though.
Very nice setup!!
Thanks!
If you’re enjoying the room the way it is, there’s no need to change anything. You could make some improvements very easily by getting your favorite movies on 4K disks. I know in your last video you said that you don’t use your physical media because you stream everything. That is a mistake! Streaming cannot give you (particularly audio) the detail that a 4K Blu-ray disk will. Another easy improvement would be to replace your center with a tower that matches you L&R. I did this several years back and it was such a huge improvement. I also had Klipsch speakers at the time (now Emotiva). I don’t remember the model number, but they were dual 8” and a typical horn tweet. Having the same speaker for LCR is a big improvement. Very easy to do when the speakers are behind the screen. My setup is similar to yours. I have a 150” acoustic transparent screen, BenQ 3550, Denon x3600h, Appletv. Subscribed to see how your room evolves. I also really dig some of your collectibles in there!
2 great points. I will look into the center channel. We live so remote that it’s hard to get physical media without Amazon…will consider it though. The cost has always turned me off, compared to cost of streaming. Agreed though, 4K Blu ray is the gold standard!
Very impressive how you know all this! Very informative and I’m sure very interesting to other home theater buffs (aka nerds 😁)
Probably the best DIY theater in all of Mineral county.
Hinsdale County, but right next door to Mineral County!
Subscribe to your channel, enjoying your content. I use denon s760h with Jamo speakers and subwoofer. How is the subwoofer Bluetooth, do you notice any delay or issues? Should I buy an Apple TV I use a fire tv cube?
Not at all, never noticed a delay. Can’t really give advice as I’ve never used a fire cube, but the Apple TV is great!
Nice space
Thanks!
Cool setup what movie was that one
Avengers Endgame - I always use this part when I make a change to give a reference
Cool space but Im not a fan of all the figures and stuff. I kinda think all of that should be in an entry way and not in the actual theater room...just my opinion.
I like your idea for mounting the projector. I think I'm going to steal that for something I'm doing
Steal away!
Beautiful garden and property in Colorado. Please stay safe and hunker down for the upcoming fall/winter.
Thank you, I will
That’s a good looking theater room. I would recommend putting up acoustic panels to help with any reflections or echoes. If you’re a DIYer they’re easy and cheap to make. Otherwise nice job.
Thanks! I will look into the panels!
Cool video, I am into home theater as well and live in Colorado Springs. Are you a part of the Colorado home theater enthusiast Facebook group?
I am now!
@@GaryWitt-bk9ny sweet, good group with local guys
I think the one thing people want to know when watching home theater videos is the room dimensions. I am not sure if you mentioned that, but I missed it. Another thing is how far are the seats from the screen.
Great point! The room is so irregular, a bit hard to measure. The seating position is about 10 feet from the screen, but with the chairs reclined increases to about 11 1/2 ft. A tad too close, but the awkwardness of the room meant I couldn’t go any further back.
Cool 👍 looks good
Nice garden tour. Your knowledge of all the botany is very impressive!
Green things grow tall. Need water. Sun helps. (This is Gary if you can’t tell)
