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!!!

@DCfocal 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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

@AudioAdvice 2 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

@AudioAdvice 11 ай бұрын

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.

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.

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......

@AudioAdvice 2 жыл бұрын

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
