Precisely what I was looking for. Thanks for the quality review.

Should we inform this gentleman that damn near all recliners are like this for the back attachment points

where on the receiver do you hook up the sides?

Can you speak any slower?? Wow - bailed at 3 min. in

FWIW, I ran into the same issue. I thought I had everything perfect through the whole build process, but when all was said and done the second riser was 2" too low. I ended up having to raise the second row up 2 " to clear it properly.

My new favorite George quote ever "If you've ever cut a couch in half, then you know..." , said like it was common knowledge. Love it, and love that you share the raw experience, and not just the everything is always perfect side of building a home theater.

unfortunately I do not have room behind my MLP so will go with a 5.1.2 rather than the 5.1.4 I wanted...Agree?

It's a hobby without an ending, always upgrading 😅

The older i get the more I realise it's not the holidays or events that go smoothly that you remember and tell stories about, it's when they don't. Painful / frustrating at the time but way more fun a story afterwards

I'm sorry to hear that everything didn't work out with the seating as planned. I personally think it's nice being able to relax on a couch during a movie, so now you have the best of both worlds in one room!

That was so funny 😂😂😂, but keep the awesome content coming.

Sorry my man. Mistakes happen. You get so focused on specific things, maybe the outcome itself, and sometimes miss the forest through the trees. Happened to me more than once! For folks who are planning their own theaters, there are “Riser Calculators” that account for all the math, including sight lines, etc. He’s right, there is a LOT to consider. AVS forums (home theater construction channel) is a treasure. If you’re planning a HT project, I implore you to spend weeks going through projects, page by page, to see all these little details. You’ll see routine themes and lookouts. It saved me so many times. Thanks for sharing. Blessums to the wife for (hopefully) not rubbing the couch thing in your face. 🙏

I just got some up-firing not expecting much, I was surprised, whereas I don't hear anything above, they do fill the room with a more surround sound.

Thats why you should only watch movies alone lol

I know you already switched everything back but would it have been possible to add a 1 ft platform and put the seats in the back row on top of it, to be above the new seats?

Nobody turns away from a car wreck. Knowing it wasn't going to turn out well, in no way made me not want to watch. lol

I think because we hear sound around us all the time having it move around us isn’t always as noticeable to our brain. Like if I spin in a circle near a sound effect in a game it won’t make as much of an impression as if I move the camera forward and back across the sound. Whatever is the most intense is what we notice. I think for height speakers to make a big impression they have to play loud sudden sounds, or slowly pan a focused sound up them and leave it there for a pause, like if you heard the rain from the front speakers and plinks above you you notice the heights. Or if when you walk into the rain it plays all around you but then thunder sounds from above.

Easy to miss the Forest for the Trees. With so many things to consider easy to assume it would be fit for purpose. Mistakes all part of the journey

I'll save you 13min. AI summary: This video is about a home theater project gone wrong. The RUclipsr wanted to rearrange his seating in both his main and tiny theaters. He planned to remove the sectional couch from his main theater and replace it with Valencia Naples seats. He also planned to move the Valencia Tuscany seats from his tiny theater to his main theater. However, he made a crucial mistake in his planning: he failed to account for the height of the Valencia Naples seats, which obstructed the view of the screen when someone was sitting in them. This led to a lot of unnecessary work, including taking apart and reassembling the sectional couch and moving the seats back and forth between the two theaters. In the end, the RUclipsr learned a valuable lesson about the importance of careful planning and measuring when designing a home theater. He also shared that his wife eventually relented and allowed him to remove the sectional couch, which improved the overall look and feel of the room. The video ends with a teaser for the RUclipsr's next project, which involves installing a projector in his tiny theater.

I've done worst. Thx for sharing.

starting to sound like the rest of us making bonehead moves in front of the wife, haha.

eels like you could make modifications to make it work. Can’t you rebuild the riser taller or add a little platform under the rear seats? Mount the screen a little higher? There are some options besides the old brown couch. Think about it and take another whack at it.

Told you the acoustically transparent couch was the way to go 😉

Great video, side note, where did you get your wall sconces from?

Well, at least you picked the right woman to be our wife. 😂

Not taking into consideration your aesthetic, there are several solutions, build up the rear platform and recarpet, change the legs on the chairs in the back row (from what I can see of them in the video), Make a second shorter platform to put under the rear chairs, put up a sign the opposite of the ones on some carnival rides to prevent too small of height children from riding them. In your case the sign would have a horizontal line and text says "If you're taller then this line you must sit in the back row" or something to that effect. Bolster seats for back rowl. Tell people in the front row to slouch, which a lot of people do naturally watching a movie.

You did a very good job, nothing fantasy but you was, just being honest and that’s what matters. Because we do have busy lives and some things we put on the back burn.

Why don’t you just raise the screen?

Life.

You could buy a black sofa cover and put it on the brown sofa. That could improve the cohesion of the room a bit, and it'll be way easier to clean.

Normalizing making mistakes is great. We ALL make silly mistakes; some more costly than others. Thanks for sharing!

I'm super impressed that you got the couch back together! that was no small feat.

Since you have to keep the couch have you thought about getting it recovered in either black leather or bring your Valencias back down and re-cover the couch to match? It’ll spruce your theater up.

Putting aside the irony of you posting a vid about the lack of a headrest causing no support for the head. We have all been there done that, best laid plans and all that

Maybe moot if you’ve already moved the couch back down, but could you have made the front row the MLP?

Things happen (inset another word for ‘things’ if you like lol).

They don't recline? And, HT mistakes - my mistake is spending what little money I had/have and all of the time on my garbage (when compared to everyone else's - especially Youthman tours) 7.2.4 set-up in my living room. I am the only one living here now and EVERYTHING I watch is now nit-picked and criticized for every little audio and visual mistake and "could have done betters" to the point that the simple pleasure of watching a movie is like work. I can't even watch the older films I used to like because the thought of "It's look and sound horrible". But, going back to TV speakers or just junking everything and going without AV entertainment would be nearly painful. Anyone else?

3:00 I think it's fair to say we all 'know'

Dude.. you should have raised the back seats up higher. Even though it’s more work.. the main room should be perfect all the way round. You’re not going to be happy with that sectional piece back for long.

If captain hindsight was a real superhero 😂 Great video about the trials and tribulations ❤

😂

I always said when everything goes as planned, what is wrong? That applies to your situation. I liked this video👍 For nothing usually goes as planned, or something that you didn't plan goes right! Been there lots of times. Like your channel, keep the vids coming brother!

It happens too all of us..... 😁

Come on bro... but I feel your pain.

You could've raised the back chairs a couple more inches

I personally like the smaller couch in the front. Can't wait to see the projector review. Would it be possible to review more lifestyle projectors?

Great video. Sharing our mistakes helps others learn from them. Your delivery was spot on and my emotions were all over the place. You made my day. Thanks

Kudos for sharing, I hope you don't mind that I did actually laugh

i remember a long time ago when I found your vide3o and you did a Room Tour, I recall how you described how you got your couch to fit into the room....I remember thinking....wow WILD! lol

Prefer the first chairs - I personally wouldn't have high glossy surfaces on the seats, and they look to have rather hard edges on the arm rests - not a lot of dun when hitting the funny bone in your elbow!
