@@timg3580 thanks. I’ve got a bunch more videos coming out on a family room, open concept system and how I solve the acoustic and reflection issues. Then I have a simpler 5.2 system built from Sonos, and then finally a full walkthrough of my theater build, although I’m just starting the design on that one, so I’m pushing for around CEDIA or shortly after. If there are any questions, or content you’d like to see, just let me know.

Thanks. I’ve got some additional stuff coming out soon, so please like and subscribe if you didn’t already so you don’t miss it.

Still runs through my play list. Guitar is signed by Slash after I helped him with some rack stuff, and the Beatles album is from a private tour at Abbey Road when I was at B&W. Harmony remote was one I designed, as were the headphones. Porsche helmet for track days, which may not be in frame. A few of the things that mean a lot to me. Appreciate the watch and the comment.

Yesh, bigger is always nice, but the curve rises dramatically. And for a lot of people, they add in a bunch of extra seats that don't always get used. Nice to know they are there, but better to invest in quality over quantity sometimes as well. I hope you are enjoying your theater. We may need to do a video of it at some point. I think you mentioned in a comment to Youthman before that you'd be open to it?

@@faqnatics Yeah we have some movie nights with friends and family where it'd be nice to have a few extra seats but then the space would be overly crammed and not optimized. Also, would be happy to have video shot. It's a pretty straightforward theater as we just did stretched fabric with Colorbeam vertical linear lights and low-back recliners to keep the focus on the screen and not any effects like shooting stars, etc. I mentioned to Trevor at an event a few weeks back I'd be glad to have him or anyone else come by and demo or video anything he wanted as he had some colleagues from Australia visit before CEDIA last year. Would be glad to do same with Michael as well since mentioned it to him at CEDIA also. I'll see him at MWAVE in June as well.

Appreciate the support. I've got another video coming out in the next week or two on AES67 and Dante, as well as a lighting tutorial series on whole home lighting, but you know I'm gonna do something special for my theater as well...

cheers! super high quality lighting with a minimalist design has been one of the most challenging of our remodeling and new annex build projects.

Agreed. The house I recently bought has more than 100 switches and only two dimmers... Actually have a delivery of more than 100 lights from Proluxe coming today. They do some great bulbs and linear lighting for a reasonable amount. I'm also getting ready to put an order in for some Lutron Ketra lighting for the areas I really want to show off. I expect to build a 10-part series, with overall education, and then room-by-room demonstration. Always appreciate the support KR.

Thanks. We have a presentation on this at MWave today at 2pm. More content to come.

No doubt. Hope all is well.

@michael, just to clarify, are we discussing the comment from Anthony about having a narrower setup of the rear surrounds, or something else? Also are you saying that you have 3-4 speakers on your back wall, or are we discussing rear wall and side surrounds that are further back? Here's a good resource from Trinnov a while back on speakers placement. Every room is a bit different, then you have whether we are discussing Atmos or DTS preferences. This document has most of those things covered, and you can start around page 15. drive.google.com/file/d/1qFpM5c9_n_0PU6EcW-J5qFvf4QDWqjg3/view Clarify the setup if you want to discuss, otherwise that document should get you started as well.

@@faqnatics Yes sir! I'm referring to the back wall setup...I know it depends on the room dimensions... However, the plans for the new build w/dedicated Theater (21x30x12).

I’ll ask Trevor on Grimani’s sales team, and I’m sure I can get an answer for you. It’s a Sunday so just give me a day or two. Any idea on how many you’d need?

A few different ones. I’ll come back with a few brands for you. Just away from my laptop at the moment.

@@faqnatics Curious this as well. Thank you.

So the treatments used in this build are MSR, which is Anthony's acoustics company. Great product, and I've included a link to the pages here: www.msr-inc.com/home_theater/hometheater.html It could use some updates, but I can connect you to their sales team if you wanted more information. Effectively though, the walls and ceilings were 24"x48"x4" in order to actually absorb down to about 250Hz. Anything shallower than that, and you are really only absorbing the high frequencies. and not taming the bass at all. The front set of sidewall diffusers were horizontal, and the remaining side, rear, and ceiling diffusers were randomizing diffusers. They are plastic in this case. and we added a bit of absorption material behind them. However, these are meant to sound great, but also need to minimize packing space and weight since it's a temporary solution. These work great, but more solid diffusion solutions are available that do as good or better of a job, but at a more premium price. I will likely be doing a video on acoustics soon, so if you didn't yet. please like and subscribe so I know it's a topic people want to see.

Hmmm, I will check it out. To be fair, not much has been added yet, and I know I check the box to alert subscribers. I’ll check the settings again though, appreciate the heads up.

@@faqnatics 2 of ur last podcasts with Grimani I didn't get any notifications, found out only when I visited ur channel page.

Yup KZfaq is messing up your notifications for sure, I didn’t get them either

@@matta9316 okay. I’ll double check and make sure especially on the next video. Can’t leave my fans waiting… but just make sure you check back on the page each week anyways… 😉🤣🥃

As a VIP heads up, I have a new video dropping today on networked audio. It's actually an interesting watch on what will likely be the future of audio. This way you can see when the notification comes, and either way I wanted to make sure I told you! ; )
