Youthman many thanks for doing this video and for the interest of the viewers of your channel. This was a lot of fun and hope we can collaborate more in the near future.
What a great collaboration, I've always followed audioholics because I respect and love the detail that goes into their reviews. We need more people like Gene in this industry to keep us in the know when manufacturers try to deceive us with their inflated specs. I really enjoyed this video although the ending seems cut short a bit. Anyways I'm hoping first timers would Hiiiiiiiiiit that subscribe button because my friend you deserve it 👍
Bought Vizio PX 75, Vizio ATMOS soundbar 36514 and Nvidia Shield PRO streamer. The problem is Puerto Rico electric grid. Fried Vizio TV 3 weeks old. Returned TV at COSTCO for a new same model, and bought a Cyberpower 1325/810 syne wave battery bkup as a surge protector, voltage regulator. 1030 jules protection, Though the "simulated" syne wave model 1500v/900w has 1500 joule surge suppression. Will this work/protect? How do you protect you’re system?
One of the best things I heard Gene say was that one should not go nuts over room treatment and that the brain and ears naturally compensate and naturally adjust to the environment (acoustics). One simple way to confirm this is to play a piece of music at low volume for a few minutes and then play the same music at loud levels, and then play the same music back at the same low level and it will then be difficult to hear. My wife and I were watching Pacific Rim last night at 76dB and after shutting everything off I forget to lower the volume level back to 'normal' and I tuned the tv on and it was so loud I thought I blew the speakers. Oh, the 'joy's of being an audiophile. Great video. Thank you.
GENE IS FOR ME IS THE HOME THEATER AUDIO GURU . I BEING A HOME THEATER ENTHUSIASTS SINCE 1995 ( I WAS 15) And i learn a lot reading and looking at magazines . I HAVE TO SAID I LEARN MORE DEEPER WATCHING AUDIOHOLICS And ALSO YOUR VIDEOS . THANKS FOR THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO 🎥🖥📺!
Youthman I REALLY Did , I can wait to see another Collaboration from you guys. I did not know that you guys live also in Florida . I live in Florida also . I AM STARTING Remodeling my kitchen next month and next is going to be my Home theater.I going to do a 7.2.4 DOLBY ATMOS. MY 2 CHOICES FOR AVR RECEIVER (MARANTZ SR8012 or DENON AVR-x8500H) . Front speakers (klipsch RP-8000f) ,Center speaker ( Klipsch RP-504) ) , Side surrounds ( Klipsch Rp-402s or the RP -502s) , Rear surrounds ( Klipsch RP-600m or the RP500m) , SUBWOOFERS ( Klipsch SPL-150 or the SPL-120) and for the ceiling ATMOS Speakers ( kLIPSCH PRO-16RC or DS-160cdt). IT Will be awesome to review it in the channel . Let’s see, I HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO. Thank you for all the good information of your videos, FOR Along time i want to upgrade my home theater!for years I being looking at Klipsch speakers and because your videos I decided to get all KLIPSCH ! My Current RECEIVER IS A TECHNICS SA-AX910( 5.1 channel theater ) STILL WORKING but is time to move to the Big leagues (7.2.4) .I Am Eli , GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU! 🙋🏻♂️
This is amazing. Audioholics are an amazing site/channel! Plus they are the ones trying to push the avr manufacturers to start showing real power on their avr's for multi-channel. No more of this 200x11 (and in smallest print possible : 200w1 channel driven at 0.1% thd.....). Hat off to Youthman and Audioholics !!!!
Looks like you think you know Star Trek. If you think so then question in Star Trek voyage home What species sent the probe and why did they send the probe ? Question 2 when the Enterprise came upon another ship and Kirk would Introduce himself he was staying I am Captain James T Kirk of the USS enterprise representing United Federation of planets. Here’s the question what was Captain Kirk response before the Representing United Federation of planets what was he representing ?
Great video! Happy to see you both! Only thing missing is Hugo asking Gene how he’s done and Gene responding “Hugo, I’m doing awesome!” I think AH videos have gotten a million views from me playing them before bed on repeat haha I need Gene in my subconscious. Nice job youthman!
Youth man, you r like an open book. Ready to accept what u DONT KNOW. Well, this character is unique and good. We all are happy to accept what we know but not things we haven't learnt yet. We'll that makes me your fan. All the best. You have a great family, which we all saw in your recent adorable picture. Keep up the good work!
@@Youthman In that video he said there is guys like us that understand the extra testing, what goes into things and wants to learn and know about them, I am that guy. So nice having you too info to share for us. Def always enjoy the vids!
I know this is old but I had dtopped watching Gene when he was testing speakers hung from a tree. Super house even though he has moved or is moving or what ever. I love the way he takes on cables! He has brought me back.
Gene has been beating that horse for years lol. Most people realize that cables do not change the performance of your speakers. And those that do, there are no amount of measurements that can be shown to them that would convince them otherwise. Brands make uber expensive cables because there will always be consumers who will buy them.
We "measure speakers hung from a tree" as you put it to take the room out of the measurements so you can accurately the loudspeaker response. This is the closest way of getting a true anechoic response and much more accurate than measuring inside of a room with a Klipple nearfield scanner at your disposal.
Gene, like what you did with your ceiling adding the diffusion. Often an overlooked room treatment beneficial in rooms that could use a bit more height. When my HT came together we did rows of angled 2 x 10 wood blocks with a layer of Owens Corning over the central part of the room, a combination of absorption and diffusion. Like you said, it effectively raises the height of the ceiling 1 foot. My only suggestion would be to do a motorized screen and bring it forward so that it lines up with the floorstanders.
I really enjoy and find videos from you both very helpful. Thank you Gene for the bench test video on the Marantz SR-8012 as it help cement my purchase of the receiver and it has been a great addition to my home theater. I love your home theater with the projection and Klipsch Lascala's behind the screen! Also found your video on the SR-8012 helpful as well. My home theater is not as elaborate and nice as Gene's and not as nice as yours but I love what I have accomplished in less than 1 1/2 of investment. HT System: Marantz SR-8012 11.2 (7.2.4) Receiver, Emotiva XPA-3 3 Channel Amplifier, Sony XBR55A9F 55"OLED 4K HDR/Dolby Vision/IMAX Enhanced TV, Panasonic DP-UB9000 4K UHD Blu-ray Player, 4K Apple TV 64GB, Speakers: Altec Lancing A-7's (L&R), Klipsch RC-64 lll center channel, Klipsch RP-600M surround speakers, Advent Marbles (height speakers), HSU VTF-3 MK5HP subwoofer. AudioQuest cables, Pangea Audio speaker stands, Harmony Elite Remote.
When I get my own house. I will have home automation, high end samsung soundbar with subwoofer and rear satellite speakers in every bedroom, a living/home theater combo area, high density nylon carpet making up the bulk of my floors. My PC gaming room will have Q acoustic 3000i series speakers, 12 inch q acoustics subwoofer, and yamaha receiver. My home theater/console gaming room will have homemade speakers and amplifiers. My living room will double as music listening room with my vintage Pioneer A9 amplifier, Pioneer PL L800, a hifiberry for hi res streaming, Pioneer P-D70 CD player, a pair of Q Acoustics Concept 500 floorstanding speakers, and a wemo switch for the vintage audio equipment.
awesome collaboration i really enjoyed this video a lot. I'd learned more from talking to Gene in a video chat ( a service that audioholics gives) for 1 hour than all the research i did in a couple of years reading articles, and trying to guess what would be good for my system. The Videos that Youthman and Gene from audioholics make are invaluable. I dont live in the states so i don't have the luxury on returning products i don't like, it cost to much to have things shipped then return back.So whenever they vouch for a product i can buy it with no worries that it sucks.
when i seen the collaboration i had to sit there and just watch it cause these are two good tubers, Gene is advanced on a differant level , you have to pick your battles with being an audiophile otherwise you can split hairs it never ends , thats genes job is to split hairs , you guys do a great job of letting us know what's great enough for us to spend our money on , keep up the work it is appreciated , we all get it at least I do. thanks
My goodness. I hear what Gene said about having people over that understand audio. I am no audioholic but I'm a self taught audio engineer. I don't have much in terms home theater, 5.2 Sony DDW 3000 and a 40" LED tv. I've had the Sony Home theater for almost 11 years and I seriously want to change that, but I don't have the cash for something new.
I've a question I've an old Celestion Dolby Surround Processor . I also have a Denon X2400H receiver is there a way to connect the 2 so I can get front heights from the receiver, then have the Celestion handle rear heights in a ATMOS setup?
Great video from the both of you. Thanks gene for having us into your home and showing us what you actually use. I really do hope that you guys get together again cause we all learn from the both of you all the time. Keep up the great work Gene and youthman....Another great video about HT that we appreciate. Cheers!
Excellent video. Amazing setup. Great information. Ive been doing HT as a hobby for roughly 25 years and I still have plenty to learn. This was very enjoyable. Big fan of both of you guys. Keep up the great work!
How awesome! I never realized that living room was Genes lol. Thanks for getting this video to happen! Im a huge fan of both of you guys but this video was missing one thing; Hugo lol!
Awesome setup! Could you elaborate more on why you don’t like bi-pole speakers for surround speakers? I’m looking on adding so my the HT room we’re building and I was considering bi-polar because of how close one of the seats would be to it.
When I built my home theater 12 years ago, it was recommended to use bipolar or wide dispersion speakers. With the advent of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and object based surround, most suggest using direct radiating speakers for surrounds as you want them to be very directional to give those spacial cues.
Very cool! I’m a fan of both and Gene is definitely my go to. Thanks Youthman for the great post and thanks to Gene for sharing with us. You are definitely appreciated!
I love this and I bow to this man’s feet but I’m a tad disappointed he hasn’t at least one fancy retro/vintage setup. Modern speakers have come so far but there is a charm that’s been lost from the days of running ultra high efficiency lightweight drivers. I’ve heard so many ultra sharp crystal clear modern systems that blow my mind but I always come home to my mental ass reasonably cheap Tannoy Berkeley’s. I think they sing more than they try to be accurate.
that was a very awesome video thanks gene for sharing with us....and thanks to youthman for do this video.........i have a question im looking to buy my first projector but funds are limited..what are your thoughts on these.....benq ms535a or epson vs250...?.thanks for the great content....cheers
Glad you enjoyed the video. Unfortunately I am not familiar with those models so I wouldn’t be able to offer any advice on which is better. Gene and I have both been very pleased with our 5040UB projectors
Haha I literally finished editing the video about 30 minutes before it started. For some reason my editing software decided not to export the entire video. You literally only missed about 15 seconds of me saying goodbye and thanks for watching
*So today I picked up a RSW-12, hooked it up and got a continuous “pop” noise. I turned it off and back on again, nothing. Checked the fuse and the fuse seemed fine. So I’m just going to assume it’s a bad amp. Does anyone have a replacement amp for a RSW-12 by any chance?*
Gene in your 5.1.4 system the family one i thought for this set up your 5.1 rear should be at back wall instead you have bi polar along side listen level ?
In a 5.1.4 set up the surrounds are the side surrounds. placed at the left and right sides of the main seating position. For a 7.1.4 set up it has two additional back surrounds. That are placed behind you on the rear wall. But in a 5.1 or 5.1.4 set up if you don't have any room to place the surrounds at the sides. You can place them on the rear wall instead. 2 feet or higher above ear level for a 5.1 setup or at ear level for a Atmos setup.
Awesome, thoroughly enjoyed this video, learned a lot, just had an eight zone Control4 matrix system installed in my house, thanx for the info it gives me a few great ideas.
So jealous! Gene is like a celebrity to me lol. Youthman your up there too. I have to add that I completely agree about having someone really appreciate the work you’ve put into your system. Where I live it pretty much feels like I’m the only one that appreciates it. I have yet to have some one come over that really gets it.
Hey Youthman, and Gene offcourse! I have watched a lot of your content lately, and I'm really impressed by your explanations about home audio. Especially Gene with the measurements. But you my friend have some high sensitive speakers in your livingroom.. and as seen in this video you really liked the 'analog' sound from the record player Gene has. If you someday become a big fan of analog audio. Klipsch is the right brand to put on a single ended tube amplifier in triode mode to set up with a good turntable and records before 1983. When u use the philips el34 tubes so will be blown away with clarity, soundstage and the right amount of bass. With.. 12watts rms if you are lucky. I wonder why you guys are not in tube amps when listening to music on records. Sincerely your new sub from The Netherlands.
Thanks. I have a 2ch setup but it rarely gets used as I’m probably 95% Home Theater. Doubt I will ever go tubes or especially vinyl. I stream music out of convenience.
Great collaborative effort!!! I love it when guys like you work together to bring your viewers a special experience separate from your individual channels.
that was great guys, more of this is needed. Great info and nice systems there Gene. Please do a segment on what is needed for streaming one's movies., what NAS and other programs are needed etc. thank you guys krrp up the great work.
This is for either Gene or Youthman. I have a dedicated home theater measuring 12 x 25. It’s in the basement and my floor is concrete. I’m having a bass problem that I really hope you guys can help me with. I’m running an Aperion versus 2 speaker system with 4 Svs elevation Atmos speakers complimented by 2 SVS pb-4000’s. I have tried different subwoofer locations ranging from the two subs flanking the center channel to two rear location behind my main listening position (near field). I’ve also tried diagonal positions with one in the front left of center channel and the other closest to the rear right corner. All positions offer decent bass but i just don’t feel that punch in the chest I should be experiencing. I’m not sure where to go from here. At high levels my walls are shaking so the subs are pressurizing the room. But at my seating location I’m just not feeling it as much as I should. I’ve run audessey in my Marantz 7010 receiver but it doesn’t improve the tactile bass impact. I must have a bass suck out where I’m sitting but this seating location cannot change. Would REW correct any of these issues. Any ideas guys I am at a real loss. I REALLY REALLY need some help. Thank you both for all you’ve done for the Home Theater community.
The best way to find out is using REW with a UMIK-1 mic to see where the dip is. You can use it to see what locations you get the best bass response. Then pick up a MiniDSP to EQ the trouble areas that REW measured
No wonder when the video first started I was thinking, I've seen this video before the background looks really familiar..... Then when I saw Gene I was like oooohhhh ok Lol. I see his videos all the time and he always has them Star Trek life size poster boards in the back.

Thanks for joining us my friend. Next time will be at my place
@@Youthman can't wait!
Awesome towers!
Amazing video, for me It was like watching Batman and Superman talking about crime fighting!
Best regards from Mexico!
Next time I am coming...and I will bring the mashed potatoes!
Thanks for letting us check out your house Gene! You have definitely inspired me!
Gene doesn’t have audio equipment in his house, he has a house around his audio equipment
Haha
L😂L
Gene is THE MAN. I've learned so much from him and his passion for making sure audio fans are armed with knowledge and truth. Thank you for sharing.
What a great collaboration, I've always followed audioholics because I respect and love the detail that goes into their reviews. We need more people like Gene in this industry to keep us in the know when manufacturers try to deceive us with their inflated specs. I really enjoyed this video although the ending seems cut short a bit. Anyways I'm hoping first timers would Hiiiiiiiiiit that subscribe button because my friend you deserve it 👍
Thank you for the great feedback. Glad we can help.
Now that's a sick house!!
Bought Vizio PX 75, Vizio ATMOS soundbar 36514 and Nvidia Shield PRO streamer.
The problem is Puerto Rico electric grid.
Fried Vizio TV 3 weeks old.
Returned TV at COSTCO for a new same model,
and bought a Cyberpower 1325/810 syne wave battery bkup
as a surge protector, voltage regulator.
1030 jules protection,
Though the "simulated" syne wave model 1500v/900w has 1500 joule surge suppression.
Will this work/protect?
How do you protect you’re system?
One of the best things I heard Gene say was that one should not go nuts over room treatment and that the brain and ears naturally compensate and naturally adjust to the environment (acoustics). One simple way to confirm this is to play a piece of music at low volume for a few minutes and then play the same music at loud levels, and then play the same music back at the same low level and it will then be difficult to hear. My wife and I were watching Pacific Rim last night at 76dB and after shutting everything off I forget to lower the volume level back to 'normal' and I tuned the tv on and it was so loud I thought I blew the speakers. Oh, the 'joy's of being an audiophile. Great video. Thank you.
GENE IS FOR ME IS THE HOME THEATER AUDIO GURU . I BEING A HOME THEATER ENTHUSIASTS SINCE 1995 ( I WAS 15) And i learn a lot reading and looking at magazines . I HAVE TO SAID I LEARN MORE DEEPER WATCHING AUDIOHOLICS And ALSO YOUR VIDEOS . THANKS FOR THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO 🎥🖥📺!

Thanks
Youth man, you r like an open book. Ready to accept what u DONT KNOW. Well, this character is unique and good. We all are happy to accept what we know but not things we haven't learnt yet. We'll that makes me your fan.
All the best. You have a great family, which we all saw in your recent adorable picture.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you sir. The more I know, the more I realize how much I don’t know. I continually strive to continually learn new things.
Gene is a great guy! What a great video for all of us audio nerds!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@Youthman In that video he said there is guys like us that understand the extra testing, what goes into things and wants to learn and know about them, I am that guy. So nice having you too info to share for us. Def always enjoy the vids!
Thanks bro!
This is so awesome seeing these guys together I watch there videos of both of them all the time lol. Thanks alot guys for an amazing video.
Glad you enjoyed the video Roy
Gene: *just listed 300k worth of audio gear and room treatments*
Youthman: "What else ya got?"....😅😅😅
Yes he has some pretty high end gear. Fortunately he didn’t pay anywhere near retail for it.
Wow!!! That was a great video!!!! You and the Audioholics together! Great to see you guys together! Both of you keep up the great work!
Thank you kindly!

This is probably the only youtube video with Gene where sound and video has the highest quality...
Haha so true. Youthman took care of that
Love his testing of equipment and watch you both!!!! Awesome you guys got to meet.
Sweet collaboration and great editing!
Thanks!
Gene is a beast!!! His engineering knowledge is awesome.
Agree
awesome collaboration i really enjoyed this video a lot. I'd learned more from talking to Gene in a video chat ( a service that audioholics gives) for 1 hour than all the research i did in a couple of years reading articles, and trying to guess what would be good for my system.

We are so glad you are finding value in our content
Thanks Elvin, always a pleasure to converse with you.
Two of my favorite channels coming together. Great tour guys!
Thanks! It was a lot of fun
when i seen the collaboration i had to sit there and just watch it cause these are two good tubers, Gene is advanced on a differant level , you have to pick your battles with being an audiophile otherwise you can split hairs it never ends , thats genes job is to split hairs , you guys do a great job of letting us know what's great enough for us to spend our money on , keep up the work it is appreciated , we all get it at least I do. thanks
Thanks Maria. Glad you are enjoying the content!
You know you are in for a ride when his rock sounds better then my entire system :D:D
My goodness. I hear what Gene said about having people over that understand audio. I am no audioholic but I'm a self taught audio engineer. I don't have much in terms home theater, 5.2 Sony DDW 3000 and a 40" LED tv. I've had the Sony Home theater for almost 11 years and I seriously want to change that, but I don't have the cash for something new.
I luv all collaborations in all ways of life !!!!
I'm a fan of audioholics but and I'm glad a finally found this video.
Just mentioned that very same man regarding a cable topic regarding cryogenic cables and other topics he has presented on his audioholics channel.
TWO LEGENDS! 👍👍
How is the sound quality of Marantz 6014, is it worth buying. i am planning this for my leaving room for 50-50 move and music.
Woow! That was really interesting. Thank you so much Youthman and Gene for sharing this with us!
Glad you enjoyed it
The Master of Home theater GENE !
I wanted to get some of those huge speakers Gene has as mains. Until I looked them up and they're 50 grand a pair. They must sound incredible!!!
I was wondering what kind they were. Maybe there's a way to make a pair of DIY speakers like that?
You made my day when you told him “so he’s old” and have to re watched that portion several times to laugh
Hehe all in good fun
Two of the greats come together to make one sound!!!! Youthman, I didn’t realize you are also in FL. I need to come check out a service!!!!!
I've a question I've an old Celestion Dolby Surround Processor . I also have a Denon X2400H receiver is there a way to connect the 2 so I can get front heights from the receiver, then have the Celestion handle rear heights in a ATMOS setup?
Great to see you two together!
Wow Gene and Youthman together. Two Heavyhitters!!!
I smiled like an idiot when Gene came into the Scene!!
Nass - 118KillBill spoiler alert next time. You can’t just spring the deity and his cleft on someone without physical and mental preparation
Gene and Youthman what a great combo. Luv you guys. Keep it up!!!!!!
Thanks Dave!
Great video from the both of you. Thanks gene for having us into your home and showing us what you actually use. I really do hope that you guys get together again cause we all learn from the both of you all the time. Keep up the great work Gene and youthman....Another great video about HT that we appreciate. Cheers!
Thank you Billy
Good stuff Youthman and Gene.
The 2 masterminds in audio! 👍☝️👌❤
Thanks Michael
Excellent video. Amazing setup. Great information. Ive been doing HT as a hobby for roughly 25 years and I still have plenty to learn. This was very enjoyable. Big fan of both of you guys.
Keep up the great work!
Thank you kindly
Do you guy's run a xtra Ground rod ? Does any of this require xtra grounding ? Thanks for sharing
Hi Youthman! Very nice...Was following Audioholics ,Nice to See Mr.Gene and urself on your Channel.
Thanks Rajith
How awesome! I never realized that living room was Genes lol. Thanks for getting this video to happen! Im a huge fan of both of you guys but this video was missing one thing; Hugo lol!
Thanks!
Youthman moving on up the YT collab train!! Awesome job 👍
Thanks
Absolutely Amazing!
Awesome setup! Could you elaborate more on why you don’t like bi-pole speakers for surround speakers? I’m looking on adding so my the HT room we’re building and I was considering bi-polar because of how close one of the seats would be to it.
When I built my home theater 12 years ago, it was recommended to use bipolar or wide dispersion speakers. With the advent of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and object based surround, most suggest using direct radiating speakers for surrounds as you want them to be very directional to give those spacial cues.
This article and related YT video discuss that topic: www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-design/surround-speaker-dipole-vs-bipole
Youthman well you just made my decision easier and cheaper.
this is awesome! great collab video guys -- keep up the great content, much love from the UK :-)
Thanks!
Congratulations man, such a good video. Probably the best Home Theater channel ever.
Thank you I certainly appreciate that Davi. I do my best to provide quality content
Man, as this guy was talkin, I was thinking about all the crap I didn't think of... lmaooo great content!!!!! Thank you both. Youthman, u da man.
Very cool! I’m a fan of both and Gene is definitely my go to. Thanks Youthman for the great post and thanks to Gene for sharing with us. You are definitely appreciated!
I’ve been wanting to see and hear about Gene’s theater in more detail for some time. Thank you both for all of you’re great videos!
Glad you enjoyed it Marshall
I love this and I bow to this man’s feet but I’m a tad disappointed he hasn’t at least one fancy retro/vintage setup. Modern speakers have come so far but there is a charm that’s been lost from the days of running ultra high efficiency lightweight drivers. I’ve heard so many ultra sharp crystal clear modern systems that blow my mind but I always come home to my mental ass reasonably cheap Tannoy Berkeley’s. I think they sing more than they try to be accurate.
that was a very awesome video thanks gene for sharing with us....and thanks to youthman for do this video.........i have a question im looking to buy my first projector but funds are limited..what are your thoughts on these.....benq ms535a or epson vs250...?.thanks for the great content....cheers
Glad you enjoyed the video. Unfortunately I am not familiar with those models so I wouldn’t be able to offer any advice on which is better. Gene and I have both been very pleased with our 5040UB projectors
what are your thoughts.?
@@Youthman thank you
Great video. Gene certainly is amazingly professional in the audio area. One can learn a lot.
I'm just happy to finally have atmos....
Mind blowing setup... I watched 3 times... :x :x :x
Nice video Youthman and Gene, I really enjoyed it. Is there a part 2? The ending was kinda weird. Just asking 🤗
Haha I literally finished editing the video about 30 minutes before it started. For some reason my editing software decided not to export the entire video. You literally only missed about 15 seconds of me saying goodbye and thanks for watching
I just heard Gene saying that you're almost the same age haha
*So today I picked up a RSW-12, hooked it up and got a continuous “pop” noise. I turned it off and back on again, nothing. Checked the fuse and the fuse seemed fine. So I’m just going to assume it’s a bad amp. Does anyone have a replacement amp for a RSW-12 by any chance?*
That’s not good. Hope you find a replacement. Check EBay...there used to be a guy that repaired them
Youthman I was checking a lot of the forums and some people mentioned Edwards electronics, I’ll check him out!
Can I hook my xbox up to my c9 then hook my c9 tv to my receiver and get dolby atmos am asking cause my receiver doesn't support Earc
Gene in your 5.1.4 system the family one i thought for this set up your 5.1 rear should be at back wall instead you have bi polar along side listen level ?
In a 5.1.4 set up the surrounds are the side surrounds. placed at the left and right sides of the main seating position. For a 7.1.4 set up it has two additional back surrounds. That are placed behind you on the rear wall.
But in a 5.1 or 5.1.4 set up if you don't have any room to place the surrounds at the sides. You can place them on the rear wall instead. 2 feet or higher above ear level for a 5.1 setup or at ear level for a Atmos setup.
My room treatment consists of custom diffusers made out of tons of Hot Wheels all over the walls!
Awesome, thoroughly enjoyed this video, learned a lot, just had an eight zone Control4 matrix system installed in my house, thanx for the info it gives me a few great ideas.
Love ur videos on both channels, i not a professional audio man, but i been learn a lot from u guys, i will say to u guys thank you😎
Thank you kindly.
So jealous! Gene is like a celebrity to me lol. Youthman your up there too.
I have to add that I completely agree about having someone really appreciate the work you’ve put into your system. Where I live it pretty much feels like I’m the only one that appreciates it. I have yet to have some one come over that really gets it.
Most people don’t get it. That’s why we make audio friends online 😀
All 4 of you are great!! Especially Jim and spock!! 🤣😊
Glad to see you guys finally meet. Learned a lot from Gene. Maybe a colab in the near future?
Dudes! What a pleasure to watch this! Love from London Town.
Thanks!
More colab please! Goood job audioholics and youthman!
Thanks
Hey Youthman, and Gene offcourse!
I have watched a lot of your content lately, and I'm really impressed by your explanations about home audio. Especially Gene with the measurements. But you my friend have some high sensitive speakers in your livingroom.. and as seen in this video you really liked the 'analog' sound from the record player Gene has. If you someday become a big fan of analog audio. Klipsch is the right brand to put on a single ended tube amplifier in triode mode to set up with a good turntable and records before 1983. When u use the philips el34 tubes so will be blown away with clarity, soundstage and the right amount of bass. With.. 12watts rms if you are lucky. I wonder why you guys are not in tube amps when listening to music on records. Sincerely your new sub from The Netherlands.
Thanks. I have a 2ch setup but it rarely gets used as I’m probably 95% Home Theater. Doubt I will ever go tubes or especially vinyl. I stream music out of convenience.
Oh look... it's a young Denny Crane from "Boston Legal" looking over your shoulder! :)
Great collaborative effort!!! I love it when guys like you work together to bring your viewers a special experience separate from your individual channels.
Can I ask what Epidemic Sound track is playing in intro?? Love it.
that was great guys, more of this is needed. Great info and nice systems there Gene. Please do a segment on what is needed for streaming one's movies., what NAS and other programs are needed etc. thank you guys krrp up the great work.
Thanks
This is for either Gene or Youthman. I have a dedicated home theater measuring 12 x 25. It’s in the basement and my floor is concrete. I’m having a bass problem that I really hope you guys can help me with. I’m running an Aperion versus 2 speaker system with 4 Svs elevation Atmos speakers complimented by 2 SVS pb-4000’s. I have tried different subwoofer locations ranging from the two subs flanking the center channel to two rear location behind my main listening position (near field). I’ve also tried diagonal positions with one in the front left of center channel and the other closest to the rear right corner. All positions offer decent bass but i just don’t feel that punch in the chest I should be experiencing. I’m not sure where to go from here. At high levels my walls are shaking so the subs are pressurizing the room. But at my seating location I’m just not feeling it as much as I should. I’ve run audessey in my Marantz 7010 receiver but it doesn’t improve the tactile bass impact. I must have a bass suck out where I’m sitting but this seating location cannot change. Would REW correct any of these issues. Any ideas guys I am at a real loss. I REALLY REALLY need some help. Thank you both for all you’ve done for the Home Theater community.
The best way to find out is using REW with a UMIK-1 mic to see where the dip is. You can use it to see what locations you get the best bass response. Then pick up a MiniDSP to EQ the trouble areas that REW measured
Definitely go through his new house when he gets that completed
Who did that awesome Control4 installation? I need those guys in my life!
HD2020 but if you invite them over, they expect to be fed ;)
Awesome video Youthman, it's great to see Youthman and Gene jamming in the house of speaker s. Great work.
Thanks!
No wonder when the video first started I was thinking, I've seen this video before the background looks really familiar..... Then when I saw Gene I was like oooohhhh ok Lol. I see his videos all the time and he always has them Star Trek life size poster boards in the back.
Love audio precision test equipment.
