I don’t comment on a lot of vids but feel I need to say something about this one. What I love the most is that you’re a home theater installer, but your setup is something the Average Joe can relate to (minus the high end equipment). It’s a space that is shared, neutral colors on the wall, non-home theater furniture, less than ideal lighting conditions, etc…I have a similar layout albeit smaller but lots of natural light and only 3 walls as the left side opens to my home office. I am definitely considering reaching out for a consultation once I install my new screen. Great video. Merry Christmas!
What a great video! I'm excited about speaking with your team about how to beat complete my new home theater. It's a blank slate and I love the ideas you shared
Best part of this setup is the living room aesthetic, the worst part of a proper cinema is it's dark and you feel basically sucked into the movie, and when you finish watching, you feel this kind of withdrawal. Maybe that's just me lol, but again, Normal lounge with best-in-class picture and sound, simply priceless.
These videos are really good. All the videos regarding home theater always showcase a dedicated room for it. This is much better if you want inspiration for improving a setup in a living room. Please keep making more.
Being just on the other side of 50, I still really, really appreciate and enjoy the fancy HT’s with the lights and decor. But, to me, cozy has become king. This room is an excellent example of that. Love it! Cheers, all!
Zack, it's been great following you throughout 2023 and I love your work. I want to wish you the best in 2024 and a happy new year! I believe the new year will be a great year for you. ❤❤❤❤🎉
Very nice, Zach! My HT is also my living room, and I have a 6yo, so I completely understand the compromises between fideltity, functionality, and aesthetics. I have a few questions/suggestions: 1. You definitely have room for more sub(s) up front. ;) 2. If you install side-surrounds, where on earth would they go in that space? 3. While your setup in the front is elegant-looking, I wonder why you didn't go for a larger and acoustically-transparent screen up front. This would not only have resulted in a bigger screen, but you also could have arranged all three LCRs vertically behind the screen for much better acoustics. Any reason why you didn't go for that instead? Thanks again!
Love the new style. Great design with the room and Windows. I love my thater at my house. I have 4 big window. Most of the time the Windows stay open for sports and general Tv. We can black out the room completely in the middle of the day. Best of both worlds. I found that most the build deicated home theaters, most of the time the room is barly used.
Looking to move over to the Focal 302's in place of some Polk E55 floor standing speakers to clean up the cluttered look and hopefully improve sound quality. In your opinion will I be losing anything from the L&R channel due to smaller size woofers? Will add the 302 center as well.
Nice setup tv looks similar siza as my sony im using martin logan speakers those are great for both movie and music high end sound and of course i always loved the top end sony es components im a big sony fan for their top end stuff i got a 5.1.2 atmos set in my room its about that room size in your video

I thought atmos on a vaulted ceiling doesn't work well, unless you hang the speakers from the ceiling creating a single flat plane. How is the experience here?
The epson sits closer to the wall which was important because of the walkway in this space but the awol vision is definitely an upgrade over the epson ls800. Thanks for your support and I hope you’re loving your awol 3500. Merry Christmas!
Love the updated tour and your wonderful home; what a nice gift welcome us your dream media family a tour just for Christmas time. Love it. My wife also loves your setup. It's honestly great, unique, like Luxurious, cozy, and can adapt to any event and or theme or occasion. This is very underrated and understated setup You have probably the Robinson's attention for sure as this is a family space ! 🚀 You set the bar here 📐 and we love your time and space. Keep the great content coming but take a break baby you earned it
Beautiful home Sir. That’s one Super awesome coZnema! My eyes are getting heavy just looking at your seating😆 Thanks for the tour😎👍 Be sure to watch “Jingle All The Way” tomorrow 😁👍👍
I'm going 5.2.6 also with anthem 11.2 receiver and monitor audio silver speakers also an awol vision ust projector but I wouldn't be expanding it like you I know that your room is wired for like 20 channels lol I forgot xbox series x will be my 4k Blu-ray player/cd player/streaming device and cable box.....
Is my big thumb UP enough for you ? 😂 Great job overall. But my OCD is triggered by the rays of day lights from the windows 🪟 when the shades are down. I have almost the same setup. Again great job… We are witnessing the amazing growth of your channel and business. God Bless Texas 🤠
I hate being one to critique because it’s not my house or my money I know you probably love those snowboards on display but if I was you I’d put some acoustic treatment there
I am very curious about the sound sensation of the room, because there are no acoustic panels. Thanks a lot for video 🙏 But I liked the nature outside more than the house
Love it I still need to mount my 75” 4 K LG tv to my wall need my brother in law to help me he will when he has time also need to hook up my surround when I do I will be that guy that is loud I guess or the Maxwell guy in the recliner hehe looks great though your given me some ideas on my setup thanks
I never get over how big American homes are. My house in the UK is worth around $700k in USD and you could probably fit it inside this house 2 to 3 times 😂
i am blown away by this beautiful home and the wonderfull view. what a great place! really nice. but i think the speaker and the placement of the speaker is a fail. there are some critical areas (audiowise) and i think i would have done more accoustic treatment. this room deserves a bit more dedication😇
why dont you use a tv instead, gives you better picture quality and you don’t have to think about all the aspect of visuals , instead focusing more on audio
Thank you for your comment. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to call our specialists at 877-417-9000 or schedule a free video consultation!
Less than $1000 of treatment on those walls and ceiling would make that room sound 1000x better would it not? Beautiful room. Beautiful home. Beautiful speakers. The Dolby Atmos in that room deserves treatment, imo.
With the thick carpet, all the soft furniture and fabric shades closed it’s actually not bad at all. In this space acoustics aren’t on the table. Many of our customers do not want acoustics in spaces like this vs a dedicated theater so we also wanted to show that you can get great quality audio by doing design choices that help. Adding some thick curtains is still on the table but we haven’t done it yet. Rugs, curtains, furniture, shades are all great features that warm up a space and help with acoustics in a designer friendly way. Hope that gives some insight into why we don’t have acoustics in this space. Have a great week!
Meanwhile a Sonos Arc bar a wireless subwoofer and two rear powered Sonos speakers will do just the same.. for the living room TV.. and will look a hell of a lot better
If you actually think that it proves the cliche that ignorance is bliss. Sometimes you just don’t know what you don’t know. It’s obvious you don’t live by the premise of keeping quiet and having people assume you’re clueless vs speaking up and proving it so.

Love this format. Very relational. Well done!
Thanks for your support!
No this is a great format video Zach. More personable.
Thank you for your feedback Tony!
Very nice way of commenting Natural and fluid ,upto point ,keep it up
The zachmeister, the zacharoni! Killing it as always

I wish I could do this. My wife and I bought a projector and tried our best, but no Bueno. Lol

Fantastic video all the way Zack. Really really love this format and the simplicity you always apply to your videos. Keep up the good work Sir!
Excellent room. Can you say something about all the snowboards, cool detail, but what is the story? I am at 13:45, maybe towards the end 👌
Thank you for your comment. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to call our specialists at 877-417-9000 or schedule a free video consultation!

I went with the Awol 3500 pro cuz you sponsor Awol ltv projector. Why didn't you go with the Awol instead of the Epson? Did I make the wrong choice?
The epson sits closer to the wall which was important because of the walkway in this space but the awol vision is definitely an upgrade over the epson ls800. Thanks for your support and I hope you’re loving your awol 3500. Merry Christmas!
Thank u so much. I am enjoying it. Merry Christmas to you and your family and keep up the good videos. Hopefully soon I will be using your services.
Do you recommend all 302s for front stage? OR, is the 301 good for L/R, with the 302 for Center?
I'm going to consult with this guy and hopefully hire him someday.
Thanks for your support! We look forward to helping you!
Excellent review
Thanks for the kind words! Happy holidays!

As always, I greatly appreciate your support! Im very thankful for your kind words. It really means the world to me. Thank you! -Zak
@@Dreamediaav 💟 Proud of you guys.
Good Day sir, may I know do you have any specialist in Malaysia? Maybe I can contact with them? Thank you
Beautiful home Sir. That’s one Super awesome coZnema! My eyes are getting heavy just looking at your seating😆 Thanks for the tour😎👍 Be sure to watch “Jingle All The Way” tomorrow 😁👍👍
Fantastic video Zack. Thank you so much for sharing my guy.
I'm going 5.2.6 also with anthem 11.2 receiver and monitor audio silver speakers also an awol vision ust projector but I wouldn't be expanding it like you I know that your room is wired for like 20 channels lol I forgot xbox series x will be my 4k Blu-ray player/cd player/streaming device and cable box.....
Love this format; answered all the questions I usually have. Are front wides possible in a room like this?
15:48 who would use a projector to run apps anyway? eArc is irrelevant.
Brilliant 🤩 nice one,
Well done 👏🏼 👍🏼 Zack
Thanks 👍🏼 Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 🎅 🏴
Is my big thumb UP enough for you ? 😂
Great job overall.
But my OCD is triggered by the rays of day lights from the windows 🪟 when the shades are down.
I have almost the same setup.
Again great job…

I know you probably love those snowboards on display but if I was you I’d put some acoustic treatment there
This is a good video but I wonder why you didn't do full in wall speakers in the front three?
I like this version, if people don't then maybe start a 2nd channel with just your setup/updates etc
I am very curious about the sound sensation of the room, because there are no acoustic panels.
Thanks a lot for video 🙏
But I liked the nature outside more than the house
Zack can you source a ALC-3316 Loudspeaker Controller? I really need one even used. Thanks Buddy
Love it I still need to mount my 75” 4 K LG tv to my wall need my brother in law to help me he will when he has time also need to hook up my surround when I do I will be that guy that is loud I guess or the Maxwell guy in the recliner hehe looks great though your given me some ideas on my setup thanks
I never get over how big American homes are.
My house in the UK is worth around $700k in USD and you could probably fit it inside this house 2 to 3 times 😂
lol I was going to say the same, UK houses are tiny!
But made of stone, brick and / or concrete, unlike the cheap wooden builds in the USA...
@@Echo-jg8is yeah my house is 100 years old and solid as a rock.
Still. That space would be amazing!
Center channel should not be way back on that cabinet....reflection issues...
i am blown away by this beautiful home and the wonderfull view. what a great place! really nice. but i think the speaker and the placement of the speaker is a fail. there are some critical areas (audiowise) and i think i would have done more accoustic treatment. this room deserves a bit more dedication😇
would 1000% prefer this to one with dedicated theater seating
why dont you use a tv instead, gives you better picture quality and you don’t have to think about all the aspect of visuals , instead focusing more on audio
Thank you for your comment. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to call our specialists at 877-417-9000 or schedule a free video consultation!
Nice Setup,but the Room is by far to Open for this.....😕
I see massiv Audio and a PC Monitor for Video.....
The view outside the window is nuts lol
Oh your screen is ultra wide eh i got 16.9 kida sux that most movies display in ultra wide
If you got no time for games, im guessing you got no time to watch 90 minute movies.
Less than $1000 of treatment on those walls and ceiling would make that room sound 1000x better would it not? Beautiful room. Beautiful home. Beautiful speakers. The Dolby Atmos in that room deserves treatment, imo.

Yeah.....not even close man. You just sound silly
I smell the hate in the air lol
Someone has clearly never been in a real media room with Atmos speakers.
Your head takes up to much of the frame when you are talking. I feel like I need to take 10 steps back to watch. Other than that great video!
sound engineers are lazy and atmos isnt utilized enough.
I like your format... Chuck full of detail and description.
There's no hurry, and for ADHD people there's always the ZFF button right??
