    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.

  • @ferdm9646
    @ferdm9646 21 день назад

    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

    • @LakeCityAdventure
      @LakeCityAdventure 21 день назад

      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?

  • @ferdm9646
    @ferdm9646 22 дня назад

    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.

    • @LakeCityAdventure
      @LakeCityAdventure 22 дня назад

      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!

    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).

    • @LakeCityAdventure

    @robognu5000 Месяц назад

    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!

    • @LakeCityAdventure
      @LakeCityAdventure Месяц назад

      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!

      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.
