- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2024
- Today we’re touring a great home theater that is also an incredible high-performance stereo music system at its core. We think you’ll enjoy seeing how we pulled off such a cool system in an open living room without using a dedicated home theater room or listening room. For those of you who follow our home theater showcases, you know we like to show something new in every build so, in this video, we spend some time showing how you can overcome substantial room layout challenges like this completely open floor plan and still achieve both a great stereo and movie experience with a terrific look at the same time.

![MORTAL KOMBAT 1 - KOMBAT PACK 2 REVEAL TRAILER!! [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mi2M58zEQVc/mqdefault.jpg)
What a gorgeous living room! Love seeing the killer transformations you are capable of.
Thanks for your kind words!
HT tours from Audio Advice are the best out there. The production quality, combined with their incredible attention to detail on the actual install for their clients is second to none!
We are glad you enjoyed and thanks for the kind words!
I couldn’t agree with you more Michael. I absolutely love their Home Theater Tours.
I really enjoyed the more “realistic” approach in a non dedicated room. The equipment might be out of my price range but the set up and ideas are not! Will be referring to this one when I start my next set up
We are glad it was helpful in giving you some ideas. Thanks for watching
Great job Scott (as always). I really appreciate seeing an open living space used for high-quality audio listening and movie watching. It's great to know that it can be done!
Thanks Andre, we appreciate your kind words!
Wow Bowers & Wilkins 801 D and McIntosh! What a combo!
They sound fantastic! It is truly a magical combo
I'm looking forward to seeing this one. I always enjoy your Theater videos, and this one looks like it has some unique features not present in the others. Should be good!
I really enjoy these theater tours. I can't wait to see the new theater!
We appreciate that, thanks for watching
Appreciate this video. I am Finishing up a similar open living room build and one of the challenges was separating the two channel gear from the HT rack so the turntable and McIntosh preamp were in the room. Long runs were needed and upgrades to the previous processor to allow for xlr cables.
I am sacrificing a bit on the centre speaker height to keep the TV in a more ideal position. The build in the video had the TV a tad higher that I personally like.
Thanks for sharing, good luck with your build out and calibration!
Great job AA, another fantastic video and install! End result looks great!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Stunning. Audio Advice, you’ve knocked it out of the park….again! Just gorgeous
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great concept! This is truly the best of ALL worlds in an open concept floor plan! SO cool 🤘
Glad you like it!
OMG!! This is awesome. Biggest and baddest stuff in a living room that looks like mine. I'm totally showing this to my wife. WOW!!!
Thanks so much, we will be ready to help when you want to get started!
Beautiful!
Wow...what a combination of gear. Bet it DID sound awesome! Good job on the clean, attractive install.
Thanks so much, we appreciate you watching
This is a setup after my own heart. Love it.
Glad you liked it, thanks for sharing!
Straight up gorgeous. I just love it.
Thanks for sharing, glad you enjoyed the video.
Great video!! Really helped me as I've been struggling with how to combine HT and two-channel audio! Thanks!!
We are very happy it could be helpful. Please feel free to reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com for more detailed advice.
love what you guys did here absolutely stunning job !
Thanks very much!
Wow love the turntable the craftsmanship is phenomenal the entire system is something 👏 I'd love to sit in that room for a afternoon and spin some classic vinyl
Thank you, yes that is a fun time!
Absolutely Stunning!
Thank you so much!
Such incredible content….thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gorgeous room. That is one lucky homeowner.
Thank you!
Love McIntosh gear - would love to see more vids incorporating that gear
We do too! Thanks for watching
Good god man, love to see these budget setups
Haha, thanks for watching
Also imo, the JBL does a fantastic job for Ht and 2 channel on its own. I use mine as a Roon endpoint and it sounds really good
It does, what a great sounding unit!
Cannot wait to get my own!
We will be here for you! Thanks for watching
You guys build some unbelievable systems and think outside the box, or rectangle
Thanks very much!
Very impressive system!
Glad you like it!
Awesome project!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed
Beautiful system!
Glad you liked it
Smooth job
Thanks very much
Finally a video on the B&W diamond series system. By the way to anyone curious the speakers alone cost $100k. The Macintosh amps and other equipment I am sure is another 50 - 80k. I'm very confident that room has $200k worth of audio equipment. Rock on!!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. You are a bit high on the costs of everything :) Here is a link to most of the gear used www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/2-channel-dolby-atmos-home-theater-tour/ And yes, this system will certainly rock on!!
What a great concept! Nice work!
Just a small diagram showing the switching between cinema and HiFi modes will be great. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it. For HiFi it is pure two channel with only the main left and right speakers running. The McIntosh preamp feeds the two mono amps. For home theater, the JBL processor sends everything out to the center, Atmos, surrounds and subwoofers, but also sends the left and right into the home theater bypass on the McIntosh preamp. Thanks for watching
Interesting, subwoofers in corners, floor standing speakers closer to center speaker. I may have to try it. I thought subs were better inward. Such a great video and an amazing system. Congratulations to the owner.
Glad you enjoyed it. You should experiment with your subwoofer placement, we have an entire video on the subject www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/how-to-set-up-a-subwoofer/ Thanks for watching
Like the VPI Sig in wood finish.
We do too, it’s very classy!
Love that shiplap! Can't wait to see the full project!
Thanks for sharing
An Awesome Set up, with Awesome Products! Must have costed about $300,000, including the Installations!!!
Thank you, yes, it was not inexpensive but not nearly that much!
Great video and awesome project. I have a similar space and this provides a lot of great ideas on the design. One thing I was interested in is to see how the rear surrounds look in the space. I didn't see 1 clip where they were in place. Yes, the space looks cleaner without them in the scene though I really wanted to see the aesthetic with all the speakers in place.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. The rear surrounds are actually all the way at the back of the room behind the dining table. Obviously they are not in the most ideal location but the homeowner wanted them completely out of the way. I hope that makes sense for you to understand where they are at. You can always reach out to our team at audioadvice.com for more advice in a space like this! Thanks for watching 😊
Now that’s a system this is heaven before I die that the road I’m heading to lol
We are glad it was inspirational to you! Thanks for watching
Class/ amazing ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Many many thanks
My dream system, minus the vinyl. High-end CD instead, probably the Chord transport and Dave dac.. Superb.
That would be very cool!
Thank you so much 🥰
God bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Room looks clean, and its probably for most of the people the choice (design>performance). I personally miss the acoustic treatment installation like a Acoustic Ceiling (like Knauf or Ecophon Products) and some treatment for the first reflection points. But when the owner is happy everthing is alright. Ive also a big room with 1,5 m more ceiling height han this room and i‘m so annoyed by the Acoustics and Reverberation. Cant wait for next year when an Acoustic Company install all the treatment : P
It is definitely a balancing act between design and performance! Thanks for watching
God to have that much money 😂 what an incredible system!
It is an amazing system, thanks for watching
Everything looks good, would have preferred an Oled though. 83” A90J would look spectacular
Thanks, the room gets a lot of light. We appreciate you watching and commenting
Another very well executed job. Those speakers almost literally disappear against that black fireplace wall. I know his wife gotta be happy about that. 😂
Thank you! Yes, they look really great against that wall.
Goals!
Thanks for watching
Excellent design and beautifully executed! Need I ask what the noise floor is like. 😁
Thanks very much!
THIS GUY IS RICH! But has an amazing system.
It is an amazing system, thanks for watching
Scott. Will we ever see a tour of your personal home theater? Keep up the great work, and Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks very much. We hope you have a wonderful holiday too
Gorgeous setup! What make is the rack for the amplifiers, etc.?
The brand is Strong. Thanks for watching
Where is the gold art hanging on both sides of the TV from? It adds a really nice touch to the setup
Sorry, we are not sure, the client provided it. Thanks for watching
I would love to see a Martin Logan Home theater with a line array or electrostatic speakers 🔊
Check out this one www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/7-3-6-home-theater-sony-martinlogan-jlaudio/
@@AudioAdvice Thank you Scott. I cannot believe I missed this one.
Mac. is RIGHT ACROSS the river from me 5 miles Yep In BINGHAMTON . They just announced they were bought out local, not even sure if that is national new yet. Plus I still want to work for you all doing the remote help. Also I think i have a family owned local theater I can have you guys take care of for their upgrades.
Nice! Thanks for the comments! Please feel free to reach out to us in chat at audioadvice.io/aa-chat and we will talk through all of the theater's goals and their budget for getting the best picture possible. Thank you so much for watching our videos.
Hi sir. I am great admirer of your work. I am planning to buildd a home theatre in my house. Sir i have a few questions
1. Which is best type of screen in terms of image quality
: acoustic or non acoustic screen.. which one gives better better output both contrast and color......
That is a great question. We strongly feel Stewart makes the best screens. Any type of acoustically transparent screen will have some trade off in image quality. However the audio upgrade by having the speakers behind the screen makes your theater so much more like a real movie theater. If you get a Stewart THX Microperf and sit more than 10' away, you will have the best of both. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com for more questions. Thanks for watching
I have never seen a mono block used in a home theater to drive a center channel speaker as this was my next step in my home theater to Drive my Polk L400 Center Channel with Polk L600 Left and Right.
It is the ulitmate way to drive a center channel speaker. Thanks for watching
@@AudioAdvice You are the very first one that I have seen on RUclips to use a Monoblock on a center channel, which now that RUclips has enabled 5 channel audio they will be able to listen and watch music videos using the center channel speaker as I have experience with RUclips audio. RUclips music listing experience with surround sound is now another demission it envelopes and engulfs you. Thank You. P.S. I wish they would have gone with the Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus speakers and displayed that incredible Mcintosh system, what a masterpiece you have created.
Very nice work here Scott. I am a big fan. Question: wondering if for a smaller room set up (250 SqFt) something simpler for the stereo portion like a MA7200 (which also has pass through) instead of the C49+mono blocks would also do the trick (I am also watching the budget) especially as I have B&W 802s which I would connect to the MA7200. Appreciate the thoughts on this. Thanks.
Thank you. We have found the more power you can put in front of the 800 models, the better they sound.
Where do I get that couch?
Very nice setup!! So my setup I’m running a 5.2.4 B&W 702 s2 towers, Htm71 Center, B&W Inwalls n Inceilings, Dual SVS SB3000 Subs. Im powering them with an Anthem 720 Receiver, Anthem MCA325 Amp for my LCR and an Emotiva 7 Channel for my atmos n rears. My sources r a bluesound Node2i, Denafrips ares ii external dac. So if I want better 2 channel setup, do I need to add a preamp to this system w ht bypass to get better 2 channel sound?
Thank you! That is a very nice set up. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com to talk about options. Normally we would tell people to add a power amp to the receiver, but you already did that!
Good theater setup…Could you help me finding the wall art?
Thanks very much, we are not sure where the wall art came from. Thanks for watching
Is it normal to have the screen soooo high? I thought the middle of the screen som be in eye height. Beside that it looks AMAZING!
It was more to fit in everything including the fireplace and keep a nice look as well. Thanks for watching
That's an amazing $200.000 setup!
The tv at the ceiling is unfortunate.
The reclining stressless chairs help a bit with the viewing angle but it was all about a balance between performance and aesthetic. Thanks for watching!
Hi, I own the B&W HTM71 S3 center channel and am interested in putting it in a cabinet above the fireplace. Do you know how much space I need surrounding the speaker? Also, did you say you need to add foam on the walls surrounding the center channel?
You should put as much space as feasible and use acoustic foam or board to reduce internal reflections. Thanks for watching
Was that stressless seating custom-made for the homeowner? I don’t see anything like it on their site
That is a Stress couch, but we are not sure of the model. Thanks for watching
Could you pls review Samsung HW-Q990B?
Also could you pls review LG S95QR soundbar?
What model setup is the Stressless couch ?
We are not sure, the client supplied it. Thanks for watching
Very very nice system, but I cannot imagine the price tag on this installation. Being filthy rich must be a fantastic way to live. Because being forever broke sure sucks!
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching
Half a million on this setup
Way way less
Good for the neck, television so high.
The chairs recline to give you a more comfortable view. It was the homeowners decision since it's in a family room and they wanted to be able to see the TV from the kitchen, etc.
The closet is clean but I couldn't keep those Macintosh equipment behind closed doors
Thanks very much. Yes the McIntosh pieces look as good as they sound! Thanks for watching
1 to 10 ? how does it sound?
It sounds outstanding. The client is soon adding some acoustic treatments which will take it up in performance even more
Can you guys can make a home theater at india
Sorry, we are US only. Thanks for watching
Looks like a $500K project !
Here is a link to most of the gear used www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/2-channel-dolby-atmos-home-theater-tour/ Thanks for watching
Ill win the lottery one day
Good luck!
$180k later... Absolutely incredible though!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it
60k later, and the TV is way to high. Does the service come with a chiropractor?
Haha, this was at the customers request. The chairs recline quite a bit to make it easier to watch.
@@AudioAdvice Nice practical setup.
I wasn't impressed with the IsoAcousitc gear. It narrowed the sound stage quite a bit, which I don't like.
I agree, although if I was trying to sell them, I'd say - They're focus the sound. But yeah, I didn't like them either!
Odd, we have found just the opposite as have most people who tried them. You do need to match the weight up to match the Iso product
@@AudioAdvice Shocker, how did I know you were going to say that!
Can I please pay to come listen to this
Haha, thanks for watching
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
@@AudioAdvice 🤝
$325k with install?
We have most of the equipment used listed here www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/2-channel-dolby-atmos-home-theater-tour/ Thanks for watching
Insane equipment. But place the speakers a bit further of the wall. Also, for the love of God. Fix the acoustics in that room. You can hear the echo. Put some acoustic art on the walls. The speakers will sound so much better. All in all great system but their is a lot to gain here.
That is phase two. Thanks for watching
Great system but it’s a shame that it has to stay hidden.🥺
Thanks! Yes, that is some beautiful gear. We appreciate you watching and commenting
Anything is possible with endless amounts of money.
Haha, true. Thanks for watching!
The owner is a multi millionaire probably!
Thanks for watching
@@AudioAdvice anyway great job on setting that up, looks phenomenal!
/r/tvtoohigh
We are everywhere watching
Someone has lots of money obviously.
Thanks for watching
VERY nice system, but you sure talk a lot with no pauses...
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the feedback
He should be in the *Guinness Book of World Records.* He took one breath at the beginning and didn't stop taking for nearly 17 mins!
Not that cheap system 😅
Haha, thanks for watching!
Why on earth would you have the turntable in a cupboard….absolutely stupid …
good video, TERRIBLE home theater, but I understand you were put in a box and worked with what you had. Video screen above eye level is a huge NO NO for comfortable viewing.
It’s all about making the owner happy! Thanks for watching
Why are you yelling?
Thank you for the feedback and thank you for watching.
Hello, great content as always!
Would you interested in reviewing the LG CineBeam HU915Q projector? Would love to collaborate with your channel! Have a great day:)
Glad you liked it, that is not a projector we carry. Thanks for watching
