This hobby is unfortunately a never ending story when it comes to upgrades . Great system especially because its mostly DIY. I appreciate your enthusiasm.
LOVE the DIY screen .... not a fan however of compression drivers .... For projector upgrade the best option is the JVC laser LXNZ30 ....make sure to use 48gbps fiber optic HDMI
I really enjoy the PSA speakers’ compression drive. Not fatiguing and super dynamic. I’ll have to check out the projector you mentioned. Thank you for watching!
I have that same 2 channel amp to power my rear surrounds connected to my Denon 3800h. Was worried as I saw negative reviews for it but so far so good. I had it for a year and it blends in perfectly with the other speakers with no coloration. Nice theater.
My PSA speakers a very efficient. I bet they take less than 16 watts to get to reference (about 11’ from MLP). If they were further away and less efficient, I think I would definitely need an external amp to drive them.
Nice room. Im running a 135-inch screen built the same way. Currently running an epson 3800. Went to mwave and got a chance to see the epson ls12000. Scheduled to pick it up on the 6th of july.
@KevisFilms well the projector room comparison was extremely helpful. Got to see the ls12000 vs the jvc np5. Which is the 2 I was stuck between. So good to see them side by side.
@petermuwanula7142 I see me adding a 5 or 7 channel amp in the future. But for now, honestly, my speakers are super efficient and don’t need that much horsepower.
Loved this tour. Liked it as its not one of those high end theaters which has equipment that most people cant afford. But having said i think you sholld upgrade your projector to the LS12000. It will be a huge upgrade to your home theater.
Thank you! 100% agree on the projector. I have forwarded the comment to my wife (she is the one holding me back from pulling the trigger. lol). Have you experienced the LS12000? If so, what do you like most about it?
@@KevisFilms I am currently finishing my basement and just bought it when I got a good deal. Will be a month or two before I start using it. But it was my top pick for value to performance in the standard to long throw projectors.
Like many others have said, it’s surprising to see Krix in the U.S. I’ve been really curious about them for a while. I follow several Aussie channels and they seem to love them. I’ll have to keep Strong Technical in mind when I decide to upgrade my surrounds. That model looks as though it would work for height channels, too. Pricing seems great!
@GeorgeTheaterAtHome Thank you! I enjoy watching your videos as well! What did the bass sound like in the JTR room at MWAVE? I'm all in for attending in 2025!
@@KevisFilms thanks! Glad you’re enjoying my videos. The JTR bass was something that was almost felt more than it was heard. My pants and shirt were vibrating like crazy 🤯
Room looks fantastic. Like how you built boxes for your Mica atoms speakers. Great idea for people who can't cut holes in ceiling. Can share the cut out measurements for each sides of the box to house them .
Thank you for watching! For the longest time I had my eyes on the MRX 1140. It looks slick and I bet it’s got plenty of power. I bought my cinema 50 from accessories 4 less at an unbelievable price. No complaints on my ends. What would you say is the biggest difference between the two?
I applaud your efforts. And…you’re underestimating what a real screen does. Will any white material reflect light? Yes. Is there a difference between even good screen company’s different white screen materials? Yes. I’ve seen a good screen shrink the delta between a lower cost projector and a higher cost projector, pretty meaningfully in fact. So when budget permits, just consider a real screen from a real screen company.
Well done , very nice room , where are you from ? I hope to add similar upgrades one day soon. Need all 3 , projector AVR and Subs . For now what I have works and keeps me happy but I have some serous fomo watching all the content out there . I also did my own DIY theatre and help others get started . I have heard good things about LS12000 and the UB5050 projectors by Epson . All the best to you!
@vibeinstalls9890 thank you! I was born in Puerto Rico. Good luck with your upgrades! That’s awesome that you help others get started. DIY was definitely a great way for me to save money that I could use for some of the equipment upgrades.
I didn’t know Krix was sold in the US, I thought they were Australia only. I’d like to hear them someday. Nice to see another regular guy theater on RUclips…while I find the Trinnov/Kaleidescape/JVC laser/MadVR theaters inspiring I get bummed sometimes looking at the price tags!
Thank you! I’m incredibly happy with my setup, even after getting a chance to experience the Audio Advice show room home theater that has all the super high end gear.
@@KevisFilms yeah I went and bought 4 Sonance speakers a month ago from Best Buy. They were on sale. I went an bought an OSD 5 channel amp and I got the Arcam AVR11 on a killer sale a month ago from Audio Advice. The Arcam is replacing my Emotiva XMC 1. I'll be running the Acram as a pre pro. So I'll be integrating a 2nd amp and new processor. I will be running Dirac as well.
I have to PSA speakers as well...And you're right! Tom does conduct a pre-sale...I switch from Klipsch as well...PSA MTM-212s front stage with MT-110s for surrounds and ATMOS.... Your room presentation was outstanding... I'm in the process of boxing mine up... Selling the house for a new build...So it will be quiet for a few months...
How loud are your speakers getting only running off the cinema 50? I would think the speakers you listed would need alot more power that what that cinema 50 can output.
@leecaldwell1029 it gets plenty loud in my theater room. I never go pass -10.5 on my receiver volume. With my LCRs been pretty efficient, and only about 12ft away, I would not need more than 16-32 watts to get ‘reference’ loud. The Krix are also on the efficient side.
Hi, I too have an Epson projector which is I believe they call it a eshift which isn't native 4K but it's supposed to accept 4K signals my Roku does not. how do you trick the Roku into accepting a 4K signal from a upscale projector Epson 5040
The Roku Ultra that I have is 4K and works well with the epson 4010. Can you double check your settings on the Roku? The epson should be able to use its pixel shifting no matter the source.

@Gman2002 Thank you! I really have enjoyed mine as well. I'm using it to drive my surround back speakers. Can't beat it for the price.
Have thought about driving the Fronts trough a Marantz MM 7025 amplifier?
I have the Cinema 50 also ,but the mains are now driven by the mm7025😊
My PSA speakers a very efficient. I bet they take less than 16 watts to get to reference (about 11’ from MLP). If they were further away and less efficient, I think I would definitely need an external amp to drive them.
Well done 👏🏼 👍🏼✊🏼🏴🇬🇧
Thank you!
@@KevisFilms You’re welcome 🏴🇬🇧
Dope room bro! You've done a lot to make it like a proper theater.
Thank you!
Krix are cool. They have such a wide range of options. I was looking into them for atmos speakers. They make some that are angled.
Yes! I’m really enjoying my speakers!
Excellant video. Can you suggest what cross over you have given for centre.
What is your sub crossover set in. Lfe in 80 or lfe+main in 120
My center is at 80hz. My subs are lfe 120hz. I used A1 to calibrate my system. Thank you for watching!
@@KevisFilms thanks
Can you suggest in what level is your centre speaker been put in test tones?. Is it in + or in -

For room correction Audessy cannot even TOUCH Dirac Live ...... the best upgrade you can possibly make for sound
Do you have bass management as well via Dirac? Thank you for watching.
Nice
Thank you for watching!
How can you run 7.2.4 with the Cinema 50 without external amp?🤔😄
I have a small 2 channel amp for my rears. I should have said, I would not need any additional external amps to drive my front speakers.
I’m so jealous of those subs, I am probably gonna upgrade my subs this Christmas, I can’t wait
What sub do you have now and what will you likely upgrade to?
Sweet room. Love the layout. I am looking to get my 4 atmos installed in about a month.
Thank you! Awesome on going for the Atmos! Good luck!

Great room and choice of speakers. Just curious and if you don't mind me asking. Who did you purchase the Krix speakers through?
I bought them through a company called Strong Technical Services. They focus more on the commercial side.
@@KevisFilms That's interesting and I appreciate the information. Are you in the U.S.?
Yes, U.S.

Hi Kelvis, You really need to run a demo of your equipment
Short demo video went up today :-)

Where did you purchase your Krix? I couldn’t find a dealer in the US.
@rick-val22 I bought these off strong-tech dot com. They had six left at the time of purchase.
When we build a house 40% of the space is a home theater 😂
Funny, but true lol.
