Well done nice setup I have full klipsch 7.2.4 system and 75” tv. And spent ten of thousands of dollars to get to the system I have no don’t get hug up on the hype at the end of the day enjoy what you have.
Your system is awesome. I agree enjoy what you have, I have a simple 5.1.2 system running all monoprice speakers because that’s what I can afford and I love it. I’ll retire and watch movies on THX certified speakers but I have about 20 years before that happens! If you want a bigger screen I would suggest getting a projector and filling up your wall, you could get a nice 300” screen and projector for about a grand.
Thanks Steve. I did have a 75 inch Sony XPR full Array but it didn’t have the picture of the oled I wanted so I downsized for the same price. My future plans are to get a 4K projection. I’m using a Oppo UDP-203 for a blu-Ray.
@@rwrjw I added my atmos speakers. Now this time I went with an overhead speaker configuration and not my previous config of having top front and back wall speaker mounting. Boy, overhead speakers really make a big difference in my space. My previous configuration left me underwhelmed with Atmos and I was angry at myself for upgrading gear for just a "Meh" experience.
@@rwrjw I'm currently running a 5.2.2 setup. I came from a 7.5.4 setup in my previous home with all 11 channels powered by external amps.

Roman Lewandowski I bet that sounds amazing ! I had a Sony 75 inch tv but returned it because I wanted the oled. I do miss the bigger screen though. I’ll get a projector once the 4K HDR prices fall way down.
Hey Rob! I have a similar setup and I have been playing with the receiver settings of the atmos speakers. I have similar height mounted speakers like you do, but I set them as "In ceiling" speakers in the receiver itself. I thought it actually made them sound better, even though they aren't mounted as so. See if you have a similar experience? Thanks!
justun chan hi Justun- I actually went back and forth a few times over the last year but with my room it just didn’t sound right. I wanted to use as a height so it wouldnt take away from my fronts but the sound wasn’t as enveloping for whatever reason.
I turn my itty bitty subwoofer down. Got the Dayton 8" sub kit, built myself under$300. It kicks @$$. Don't think you need those 2 Grand svs to anyone looking at it.
having 2 subs is better as they share the workload.. also 2 subs fills in any dead spots where you don't feel the bass. Front firing subs are better at the front of the soundstage.. If you go 3 or 4 subs then it's better that the subs behind the listening position are downfiring subs and they can be 8inch drivers..
When one hears sound come from above, the sound is usually off in the distance first! 🤔 therefore by my calculations height speakers are always better than ceiling speakers.
@@rwrjw Just imagine if you had got 5 RP 450 centre speakers and keep them all horizontal like the centre....... Perfect soundstage and balance ....... Food for thought. :)
ah so you've just put bookshelf speakers on brackets as your front height's? How do they sound? Cos I was wondering if I should do something similar or buy the R-14SA speakers instead?
Tybok C I think they sound pretty dang good but like everything in home theater it can always be better. It works for my room but I’m still looking for a solution to getting front ceilings to have the true Atmos experience. Thanks for the comment.
So I literally just purchased the same setup minus my sub is a "Klipsch R-100SW 300W Subwoofer". Can I use my book shelf speakers as rear speakers or are they supposed to be mounted above the t.v like you have it? I was thinking of using them as rears, thoughts?
@@rwrjw I'm new to understanding the surround sound setup process and would like some advice on where to place my bookshelf speakers as well as my surround sound speakers. I understand that my floor standing speakers will go to the right and left of my entertainment center, center channel speaker in front of my t.v which is a Samsung 4K 75 inch smart t.v, the sub will go in the corner in which I will eventually purchase a second one. My question is where do you recommend the book shelf speakers to be placed? I've seen them mounted above the t.v up high and I've also seen them on floor stands in the middle of the room. Also for the RP 250s, do you recommend them being mounted on the wall up high or viewer listening level? I hope all this make sense, thanks a lot. This is what I just purchased below.

#BIGBRICK it depends on what you’re trying to achieve. What kind of setup are you doing e.g. 5.1, 7.1 or atmos? If you aren’t doing atmos your rear speaker tweeters should be a little above your head so they don’t become overly pronounced and your front tweeter should be at ear level. If you’re doing an atmos setup then the rears should be more at ear level to give separation. Hope that helps.
Dexter Sanchez hi installed speaker cable wall plates behind the speakers then a central one behind entertainment stand then fished the wire behind the wall.
Hello, I know Dolby Atmos requires a in-ceiling speaker for immersive sound effects, however not everyone has the required setup for it. My main question is the front height speakers, will it gives the elevation effect like a actual in-ceiling produces?
@@rwrjw, the reasons for my earlier comment is I'm very intrested in the front height channels speakers. I seeing them more, and more in various home theaters room setups, personally I dont have any experience with them, and I don't know what to expect out of them. In-ceiling speakers are a very tall order for any consumers, and I'm appuled in Dolby Laboratories, in thier ideas of asking us to cut 2 or 4 holes in our ceiling to "immersive ourself" with Atmos experience. Lastly, I need to know from you a pair of front height speakers, are they a solid alternative for Atmos applications; or what do you think of them?
@@alclowe1481 Front Height speakers are very immersive.. As the speakers are aimed down at the listening position.. I can't comment about the upfiring or in ceiling speakers.. but I love my Front Height speakers.. the sound shoots across the ceiling, bouncing of the back wall.. creating a very immersive experience.. Also putting acoustic foam behind the speakers helps including putting foam behind the subwoofer..
What are you’re room dimensions if you don’t mind sharing? I have KEF R series fronts/rears/centre with SVS PB2000 sub, still to decide heights though - can’t cut holes in my ceiling and want to keep the heights discrete and minimalist as possible...ahhh decisions decisions!
Hi Rich- it wouldn’t be Atmos. Think of Atmos as 360 enveloping sound which needs the rear in-Ceiling speakers. In all honestly if you add just height speakers you may take away from the front sound stage. You’re stretching the sound from the fronts which in my experience thins the sounds stage sound.
I run my front heights at 80hz. I tried tons of combinations in my room and honestly 80hz sounds by far the best on almost all my speakers for my setup. The only speakers I have that aren’t 80hz are my in ceiling speakers which I run at 100hz.
Nice setup man...How big is that room?...and you mentioned something about your ceiling...is it vaulted or cathedral?...I have a Klipschs 7.2 system that I have not even unboxed...280s front...450C center...250S sides and RP 260s rear...and I'm going to have to put it in a 18 by 16 "media" room...I want to add (4) Klipsch 500SA height speakers but am not sure it will work with my cathedral ceiling....right now I'm running my Pioneer 5.1.4 system in the cave with flat ceilings...Atmos sounds great on it...so I'm not in a hurry to set it up....
bee nasty thanks ! My room is 17x18 so it’s not to big but the problem with my ceiling is it’s a drop ceiling the previous owner out in then dry walled the duct work in which is lower then the drop ceiling. With the way it is, front heights wouldn’t be heard. Another aggravating thing is the bass is trapped within that front zone. I had the sub in the rear but the near field sucked and the bass was ridiculous. It still sounds good but not as great as it could be.
@@rwrjw It's always something when it comes to home theater...but I have learned to just kick back and enjoy...sometimes we're so busy listening for defects that we do not enjoy the movie or music...constantly rewinding and tweaking...and upgrading...you have a great setup...definitely in the top 20 percent of what anyone has in their homes...so there's that...another thing...you probably need another sub to balance things out....like I say...it's always something......
bee nasty 100% agree, it’s always something and always tweaking, in a way it’s frustrating but on the other hand it’s fun. I definitely agree that I need another sub to equal out the bass but in due time. I used to have dual klipsch 12s but stepped up to the SVS and couldn’t be happier. It will only get better once I can run dual. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments !
Yes I’ve tried the sub inside of the left front speaker and TV, I’ve tried it on the side wall in the center of the room and a few spot behind me. The one behind me was absolute insanity with how hard it hit. Not shitting you, one day my wife came home and comes down and says why did you move the washer and dryer so far over? The sub was buckling the floor ! Where it is now sound pretty great, it’s not insanity but still hits hard and blends well. What’s aggravating is having my duct work in the middle of the room that is dry walled in and the drop ceiling is about a foot higher on each side. The bass does get trapped in there a lot because if I move toward the TV it’s again hitting super hard.
asiboy29 thank you, I appreciate it ! As for the best atmos experience there are a bunch but I thought John Wick 2, IT even though it wasn’t a good movie to me the sound was great and mad max fury road had really good atmos sound.
What did you do after calibration to get the sound up? I have the denon 4500 and I have to turn the master volume way up. Source level or channel level ?
Jerome Williams honestly it depends on the situation. If your AV has enough power than more times than not you’ll only have to go into channel level and trim the speakers to 75db. If you’re having to increase the trim above 0 in the trim then I would turn up your source level. Try not to go over the 0 on trim so your speakers have the headroom for volume fluctuations.
Pursuit of home theater bliss ok there’s a Channel level and a test tone level . After calibration all of my speakers are in the negatives. I’m kind of confused as to which your saying not to go past zero. Thanks for the advice and time!!!
Jerome Williams that is good. Your calibration will try and set all your speakers to 75db. If you don’t have a sound level meter than pick one up on amazing for like $20. After calibration you want to then test every speaker to ensure they all read 75db. I’m sure they’ll all be close but no AV is perfect. Some will be louder than 75 and some will be quieter but when you dial them all in it will blend perfectly. If the AV is showing negative on all of them then don’t increase the source level.
Thanks for the video. Nice set up! How did you manage to get the moving city screensaver?? I’ve got LGC9 and I’m stuck with the black screen/firework screensaver. Thanks.
Roman Lewandowski I can’t imagine what the PB 16 sounds like because this one at least in my room is insanity. I’ve had to move it to a less than ideal location in my room just to tone it down to match my fronts. Amazing sub !
Daryl Austin hi , I was looking at changing over to the ultras. I’m never happy and always looking at tweaks to make my system sound better. I love the design of them and the size. With that said I really like the klipsch RP series they’re a really good speaker for home theater I’m just looking for a change. Thanks for the comment!
@@rwrjw thx for answering i hear you just got into this a few months back and wow its addicting and expensive, lol. I was just curious if you felt that the SVS were better than the RP line. I am currently running the refrence line, but plan to update later, either to the RP line or the B@W 600 series.
I used to own B&w cm7s which were fantastic and completely different sounding from the klipsch. You aren’t joking with addicting and expensive ! You will see a very big difference in my opinion going from the reference line to the reference premiere. A lot of that harshness and bright sound with the reference line is gone with the RP line.You also get a titanium Tweeter on the RP vs aluminum tweeter on your reference line. The SVS sound is a much more neutral which some don’t like coming from klipsch. Klipsch are known for being on the brighter side but have good dynamics’s. They’re much more efficient than most speakers so you don’t need a lot of power to drive them which is a plus.
Imhigh Onlife funny enough I was just having conversations with my neighbor who is an electrician. He is going to install a 20 amp for me in the spring. I haven’t had any issues being on the 15 and sharing all the outlets in the basement. Thanks for the comment !
@@rwrjw I found a low tech method of getting the right angle and height is to sit down in your fave viewing posistion.. Then grab a flashlight (torch). Then switch it on and hold the handle to the side of your head.. aiming it towards the direction of the height speakers.holding your head forward as if watching something on the TV. Then angle the speaker where it reflects in the centre of the light..That way you'll have the speakers perfectly aligned.
Nice system. At least moving your sub is easier than mine lol. Thinking of getting a second one to even out the bass? It's pretty hard with just one to fix room nulls. (I've somewhat managed, but just barely) Mines a FullMartySub (my channel has a few videos of it)
@@rwrjw Awesome! I've never heard SVS's subs in person, but I know they are great subs from all the great reviews they get. It's crazy how big of a Voice coil the 16" has
It’s incredible ! The sound pressure it generates is insane. A quick story on how much pressure these generate and to think I have the SB and not it’s big brother PB16. I had it setup behind the couch originally and our washer and dryer were directly above. I was playing a ton of music and watching movies while my wife was out and when she got him she asked why I had moved both the washer and dryer over. Obviously I didn’t so I went up to look and the pressure was bucking the ceiling / floor above so much that both machines had moved about a foot over and started turning sideways !
@@rwrjw Haha that's hilarious. My Ultimax violently shakes the ceiling of my house as frequencies below 20hz, so I'm not surprised that thing moved your washer and dryer. I have some "Diversitech MP4-E E.V.A" (google search should bring you to amazon) and I wonder if they'd help with the washer and dryer moving on you. I use them for my center speaker now as my original use for them has changed. I also had part of the ceiling fall in the garage 30+ feet from this room. I wasn't playing anything at the time, however, I wouldn't be surprised if the subsonic bass shook it loose over time.
Looks like a nice place to watch a movie :D Do you feel like the Emotiva was worth it for watching movies? I am currently using Marantz SR6011, and looking into something like it.
Mrenjoy92 In my opinion it’s a very big step up. You will give yourself much more headroom and you’ll have better dynamics. I only got the 3 channel amp because I just don’t need an external for my surrounds in my size room. Thanks for the comment !
dominic cadett solid luck to be honest, I was looking at that for a year but refused to pay almost $2k for it. I had gotten a gift card for Best Buy and decided to go get a cheaper stand when I saw that on the floor and asked them if they wound sell it. They agreed and sold it for a total with tax of $120.
Curious Pete I thought about going to projection but what I want in a pic like HDR and 4K with a great pic would cost outrageous money. Once the prices start to fall then I could almost guarantee I’ll be in that market. In the mean time in my opinion OLED is the best picture you can get currently. Thanks for the comment !
Sure it sounds nice but damn... how do you watch TV with all those cumbersome speakers staring at you? 😅 The focal point is 90% bulky speakers and 10% TV 🤪

@@rwrjw It's always something when it comes to home theater...but I have learned to just kick back and enjoy...sometimes we're so busy listening for defects that we do not enjoy the movie or music...constantly rewinding and tweaking...and upgrading...you have a great setup...definitely in the top 20 percent of what anyone has in their homes...so there's that...another thing...you probably need another sub to balance things out....like I say...it's always something......
bee nasty 100% agree, it’s always something and always tweaking, in a way it’s frustrating but on the other hand it’s fun. I definitely agree that I need another sub to equal out the bass but in due time. I used to have dual klipsch 12s but stepped up to the SVS and couldn’t be happier. It will only get better once I can run dual. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments !
Have you tried the subwoofer somewhere towards the centre of the room yet?
Yes I’ve tried the sub inside of the left front speaker and TV, I’ve tried it on the side wall in the center of the room and a few spot behind me. The one behind me was absolute insanity with how hard it hit. Not shitting you, one day my wife came home and comes down and says why did you move the washer and dryer so far over? The sub was buckling the floor ! Where it is now sound pretty great, it’s not insanity but still hits hard and blends well. What’s aggravating is having my duct work in the middle of the room that is dry walled in and the drop ceiling is about a foot higher on each side. The bass does get trapped in there a lot because if I move toward the TV it’s again hitting super hard.
Nice setup! My dream setup! By the way, what's your top 3 best movies with Dolby Atmos sounds?
asiboy29 thank you, I appreciate it ! As for the best atmos experience there are a bunch but I thought John Wick 2, IT even though it wasn’t a good movie to me the sound was great and mad max fury road had really good atmos sound.
What did you do after calibration to get the sound up? I have the denon 4500 and I have to turn the master volume way up. Source level or channel level ?
Jerome Williams honestly it depends on the situation. If your AV has enough power than more times than not you’ll only have to go into channel level and trim the speakers to 75db. If you’re having to increase the trim above 0 in the trim then I would turn up your source level. Try not to go over the 0 on trim so your speakers have the headroom for volume fluctuations.
Pursuit of home theater bliss ok there’s a Channel level and a test tone level . After calibration all of my speakers are in the negatives. I’m kind of confused as to which your saying not to go past zero. Thanks for the advice and time!!!
Jerome Williams that is good. Your calibration will try and set all your speakers to 75db. If you don’t have a sound level meter than pick one up on amazing for like $20. After calibration you want to then test every speaker to ensure they all read 75db. I’m sure they’ll all be close but no AV is perfect. Some will be louder than 75 and some will be quieter but when you dial them all in it will blend perfectly. If the AV is showing negative on all of them then don’t increase the source level.
Thanks for the video. Nice set up! How did you manage to get the moving city screensaver?? I’ve got LGC9 and I’m stuck with the black screen/firework screensaver. Thanks.
Rob that svs16 must rock
Roman Lewandowski I can’t imagine what the PB 16 sounds like because this one at least in my room is insanity. I’ve had to move it to a less than ideal location in my room just to tone it down to match my fronts. Amazing sub !
Great set up, just curious , you said you might be updating to SVS speakers, why? And which ones are you thinking about?
Daryl Austin hi , I was looking at changing over to the ultras. I’m never happy and always looking at tweaks to make my system sound better. I love the design of them and the size. With that said I really like the klipsch RP series they’re a really good speaker for home theater I’m just looking for a change. Thanks for the comment!
@@rwrjw thx for answering i hear you just got into this a few months back and wow its addicting and expensive, lol. I was just curious if you felt that the SVS were better than the RP line. I am currently running the refrence line, but plan to update later, either to the RP line or the B@W 600 series.
I used to own B&w cm7s which were fantastic and completely different sounding from the klipsch. You aren’t joking with addicting and expensive ! You will see a very big difference in my opinion going from the reference line to the reference premiere. A lot of that harshness and bright sound with the reference line is gone with the RP line.You also get a titanium Tweeter on the RP vs aluminum tweeter on your reference line. The SVS sound is a much more neutral which some don’t like coming from klipsch. Klipsch are known for being on the brighter side but have good dynamics’s. They’re much more efficient than most speakers so you don’t need a lot of power to drive them which is a plus.
go projector for a larger size, feels more like a theater in the end. I prefer it
Nice setup. My system is very similar (sr 6012, xpa-3, etc)
Just curious, are you running a 20 amp dedicated circuit?
Thanks for the video!
Imhigh Onlife funny enough I was just having conversations with my neighbor who is an electrician. He is going to install a 20 amp for me in the spring. I haven’t had any issues being on the 15 and sharing all the outlets in the basement. Thanks for the comment !
Where did you get the media console?
I lucked out getting one at Best Buy. I don’t think they sell them there any longer.
Looking to move up to SVS in the future, why? They might have better subwoofers, but speakers, no.
what size room you got? I switched to a Klipsch R-100SW and love it I wanna get another..
Sounds awesome 👏
Great setup! What are the dimensions of the room?
16x20
Great theater setup!
mbranham9270 thank you !
The sounds amazing but... what do you mean?
Did you toe in your front height speakers?
Yes but not a ton. I played with all kinds of angles and found this slight toe in was perfect for my room. Thanks for the comment !
@@rwrjw I found a low tech method of getting the right angle and height is to sit down in your fave viewing posistion.. Then grab a flashlight (torch). Then switch it on and hold the handle to the side of your head.. aiming it towards the direction of the height speakers.holding your head forward as if watching something on the TV. Then angle the speaker where it reflects in the centre of the light..That way you'll have the speakers perfectly aligned.
@@rwrjw How did you toe them in? I thought they sit flush with the wall.
Do you have a dedicated room as a projector needs a dark room, the OLED is a great tv
Roman Lewandowski Yes fortunately I do ! I have this room built in a basement.
We need more videos.... they R.O.C
49ers more to come soon. I’ve been getting a new camera setup and ready to start cranking some out.
Beautiful clean n neat 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Nice system. At least moving your sub is easier than mine lol. Thinking of getting a second one to even out the bass? It's pretty hard with just one to fix room nulls. (I've somewhat managed, but just barely)
Mines a FullMartySub (my channel has a few videos of it)
Josh M I am definitely getting a second sub in the future. I previously had 2 klipsch subs.
@@rwrjw Awesome! I've never heard SVS's subs in person, but I know they are great subs from all the great reviews they get.
It's crazy how big of a Voice coil the 16" has
It’s incredible ! The sound pressure it generates is insane. A quick story on how much pressure these generate and to think I have the SB and not it’s big brother PB16. I had it setup behind the couch originally and our washer and dryer were directly above. I was playing a ton of music and watching movies while my wife was out and when she got him she asked why I had moved both the washer and dryer over. Obviously I didn’t so I went up to look and the pressure was bucking the ceiling / floor above so much that both machines had moved about a foot over and started turning sideways !
@@rwrjw Haha that's hilarious. My Ultimax violently shakes the ceiling of my house as frequencies below 20hz, so I'm not surprised that thing moved your washer and dryer.
I have some "Diversitech MP4-E E.V.A" (google search should bring you to amazon) and I wonder if they'd help with the washer and dryer moving on you. I use them for my center speaker now as my original use for them has changed.
I also had part of the ceiling fall in the garage 30+ feet from this room. I wasn't playing anything at the time, however, I wouldn't be surprised if the subsonic bass shook it loose over time.
Looks like a nice place to watch a movie :D
Do you feel like the Emotiva was worth it for watching movies?
I am currently using Marantz SR6011, and looking into something like it.
Mrenjoy92 In my opinion it’s a very big step up. You will give yourself much more headroom and you’ll have better dynamics. I only got the 3 channel amp because I just don’t need an external for my surrounds in my size room. Thanks for the comment !
More demo's please 💯
GREAT SET UP WHAT IS THE SIZE OF YOUR ROOM
john reicher thanks John, my room is 15’ W x 16’ L x 7.5 H
THANKS
Where did you get your entertainment stand from? Been looking for one just like that..
dominic cadett solid luck to be honest, I was looking at that for a year but refused to pay almost $2k for it. I had gotten a gift card for Best Buy and decided to go get a cheaper stand when I saw that on the floor and asked them if they wound sell it. They agreed and sold it for a total with tax of $120.
If you would like to know the name of the stand it’s BDI ola 8137
Aww Inspiring Set-up!!!
AnticRecovery I really appreciate that, thank you !
Very nice my man,if you can you play transformers extinction the beginning scene please.
Why not go for a projector if you want bigger?
Curious Pete I thought about going to projection but what I want in a pic like HDR and 4K with a great pic would cost outrageous money. Once the prices start to fall then I could almost guarantee I’ll be in that market. In the mean time in my opinion OLED is the best picture you can get currently. Thanks for the comment !
equipos poderosos , pero (según se oye), mal configurados... esto mismo en un sr6015 es otra cosa... saludos.
Sure it sounds nice but damn... how do you watch TV with all those cumbersome speakers staring at you? 😅 The focal point is 90% bulky speakers and 10% TV 🤪
Lights go off or dim and I don’t see any of them. Lights are only on for the video and the black screens are always on.
that's why having black speakers helps.. when the lights are out you don't really notice the speakers.. Unless your walls are a very light colour?
Tybok C well to each his own for sure : ) Just preference and no right or wrong 👍 I just like only a TV and nothing else at all on my TV wall 😀
@@webflys depends if you want an immersive expereince from ATMOS or not?
