@HomeTheatreEngineering --- So is there an audio processor that's for home theater surround sound that's the equivalent of this or are all the best audio processors for Hi-Fi stereo?

Don't think they are as good as Micro LED Walls

You’re the best! Agreed on this.

Lyngdorf Room Perfect is excellent. It is also licensed to MCINTOSH

Can you help me ?

Dude this video is beast. I can’t wait to calibrate my projector

You’re the best! Andrew

Seating distance can be a big factor, watching a moderately sized screen of 120" is great from around 18ft distance

Thanks for sharing I can’t believe we buy one of these then have to trawl KZfaq to find how to use it! Apple 😕maybe one day we will buy something and it’ll work right out of the box wouldn’t that be something 🎉

RGB High better than YCbCR?

did Acurus solve the problems now?wondering what have changed during this one year

Great review, thanks! I'd personally love to see a CEA2010 2meter groundplane RMS (for all Krix subwoofers, even the huge ones, just that people can compare using actual numbers -dB's- for each frequency)

Minchia. But…are you serious? It’s an italian volgar word…

Free the hostages

Joe Kane from ISF is intended for dim old CRT displays

HDCP is 😂😂😂😂. Yifi ftw. Do

Great video. Thanks from Lübeck/Germany

in the format option, why do you not wanna enable 4K HDR rather than 4K SDR? there wasn't much elaboration in the video regarding this.

It's unfortunate MadVR is so expensive. I am budgeting for a projector for my 2.35 screen but unless every movie in the world has changing aspect ratio, MadVR just does not seem worth it. There are probably 80-90 movies that do this and the ROI isn't there. Regardless of how amazing the tech is. It's simply over priced and only for the ultra rich folks. I am getting a JVC projector budgeting 8k-10k but even then this 10k MadVR is insanity for its price. It's amazing no doubt but only 1% of the people who buy projectors will prob adopt it (those who get it for free or at a hefty discount don't count because the average person doesn't get that kind of deal. I want it but for 10k there are so many other things one can buy.

Amazing material. Thanks for that! What's the size od the screen used in this video?

First video i saw of u guys was crapping on other ht designs. That was a bad start. Focus on yoursekves.

Great video guys - very clear and love that you explained WHY you chose the settings. It guide so much motor confidence and authority when you do that. Thx so much!

Here is why HDMI sucks. It's a product of racketeering, that is why.

What's with the short skinny French guy in the grey shirt with the black hair, is he about to have a nervous breakdown or something?

I am astounded that virtually all discussions about nominal screen size, including this one, fail to start where they should: at THE source of it all...professional cinema standards. A combination of SMPTE specs for nominal viewing angle range for 'scope screens (around 42 degees to 45 degrees subtended viewing angle at seating center) AND "where" folks like to sit in their favorite commercial cinema will result in answering this question for each client. How "big" do they like it there? The other factors are solved as part of design details (screen material, projector, etc). Also never mentioned is the law of inverse proportions with regards to ANSI/simultaneous contrast degradation. Bigger rooms allow more distance from walls and the ceiling, therefore less light reflecting back to the screen to lower ANSI contrast. This is a plus that high performance projection in large media/great rooms enjoy as opposed to dedicated rooms. Dedicated rooms are almost always smaller, therefore more vulnerable to contrast degradation. Larger rooms can have a medium reflectance paint tone and not degrade contrast due to the law of inverse proportions, aka light fall-off. If the client insists on white paint, then contrast will suffer in large rooms, as well. Food for thought.

I have an epson 12000 at around 14feet distance wall mounted from the screen... Is there any downside to watching the projector with the lens zoom all the way at around 140inch of screen size?

HTE! Love the channel. Can I ask some general advice. If in a living room meaphonix are too ugly. Do you prefer to not use towers? Eg Krix neuphonix. Something about bass management? Would I be missing anything going with monitors / acoustix LCR? Thank you! Love your work

yeah I learned that the hard way :D not Eq filter can cure dips due to room modes, live with it :D

Shout out to procella speakers remember that old THX bafflewall. Timeless truly. Great seeing someone using them here. Shout-outs kisses all around

Great theater. Is the theater framing made so is a room within a room for soundproofing or done for easier speaker placement?

Great work guys.

My passion for surround sound and great audio quality was born in June of 1993 when I first experienced digital sound when the DTS logo swirled around the theater before Jurassic Park, and it absolutely blew my mind! Then 4 months later I watched the movie again in a budget secondary theater that had low quality sound with no bass or proper surround processing, and I realize just how important audio is to the movie watching experience. I sat there for the entire 2+ hours being completely disappointed by how diminish the experience was without the incredible sound that I experienced the first time... And in 1995 a kid in my 10th grade high school class said his dad hooked up a surround sound setup and I begged him to let me come over to hear it, and after a few days he finally said yes. When I was there he put Jurassic Park into the VHS player, and during the helicopter scene where they first arrive at the island, I walked around to every speaker and was dazzled by how each one was putting out different audio. And 31 years later I'm still dazzled by it! Cheers guys!

With the high-end equipment being used here doesn't mean anything if it hasn't been calibrated in conjunction with room treatment. This room by all accounts should sound fantastic and Grant should be extremely happy, I know I would be. Another outstanding job by HTE, the knowledge and experience behind putting a room together like this is impressive. A job like this is best left to the professionals .......... congratulations to all involved.

Extra hair (lol) Hmm! potential ducks arse hair style, back to the 1950's. Hmm, again! That would have been for the drive-in, it might not suit home cinema. We want hair gel.

Nice room and looks like another satisfied customer 💪

Exceptional job and results boys, but can I just ask on behalf of us with limited budgets, can you PLEASE show some more realistic and cost effective home theatres? Let's face it, the one in this video was obviously a budget no limit...cheers!👍

Looks great 😁👍

Congratulations Grant. Looks like Andrew did it again. Well done HTE. NB: I’ve very jealous 😅

Oh boy. I may sound like a keyboard warrior but man, many of the channels i used to watch, now have 100 000 subs and up. They went pure marketing. With all the knowlage i have gathered in the last 4-5 years, i started asking the important questions or to pinpoint mistakes in the room designs. Everytime i ask a question, or point a mistake, i don't get any answers. I think i might actually be shalow banned on those channels. There are very few channels that actually serve good information. The rest of them are pure marketing or for content only. "Look at this room" -which is rubish. "Look at all this equipment" - but the room is just, and speaker placement is .... "How can a 6 inch coaxcial paper coned driver, produce 117 db/1m with 200 watts ?" i don't remember exactly but It was something ridiculas. I never got an answer. No measurment, no data, nothing, jsut marketing and content to have views.

Certifications, Journalism credentials with ethics code published. These are the mark of a professional, which also opens them up for public criticism and even legal action for the things they say.

Totally agree with you. I was lucky enough to have relatives who are sound and projection engineers. The thing I really learned from them is to scale the sound to the size of the room, something I wouldn’t have thought of and just gone for “biggest”

Very good explanation and demo. With the capabilities that the madVR brings for auto aspect ratio switching I'm guessing that a (scope) screen with automatic masking is no longer needed? When I watch 16:9 content, will the madVR stretch that to scope; or is masking the sides of the 16:9 image still the best approach? For me, image quality is paramount, so if watching 16:9 content stretched to scope degrades the image, then masking will be the way to go. Thanks again for the content.

the accustic panels you guys sell are on another level

I have been following your channel for a long time and I value your work, I really do but oh boy, honestly, I don't think this video was necessary or useful. Nor will it gain you more clients/engagements. It sounds as if you were complaining. Even though I also think you are absolutely making a point and you are spot on right, I doubt it would make much of a difference. KZfaqrs/Influencers have been as well as will be around. Some of them are pretty knowledgeable, others not so much. They function by the number of clicks. A lot of viewers make decisions based on what these people say. But here is my point. These prospects/customers-to-be are NOT and will seldom be your clients! Through your knowledge and professionalism, you provide value-added consultancy services to those appreciating it! You cannot service anybody who does not need it (for whatever reason). At the end of the day you are going to have to accept the fact that yes, there will be loads of people you simply cannot convince. As a matter of fact, it is not even your job to convince anybody. If someone goes into your shop or gets in touch with you via phone or mail will get the impression pretty fast that you are 'different'. Your advice is based on decades of expertise, science, industrial standards, or recommendations. The more you stick to your kind of customer service the more people will be able to differentiate you from the 'competition'. So the way I see is that don't deal with these kinds of things, ignore this trend (you cannot do anything about it anyway), and let go of all the prospects following the flow! Keep doing what you are good at! Maintain the level of the work you do every day! I know it is hard but there is no other way but disregarding these channels.

I like click bait! A calibrator with training and a good name is worth the expense. My biggest problem was not knowing what good sounds like. (I still don't) Good becomes bad when you hear something better. People are happy when they're getting the best out of what they've got. (or not listening to anything else and not asking for other peoples opinions) Playing around can be fun, but too much, and you find yourself analysing speakers instead of watching a movie. Ceiling surrounds aren't the best? hmm! Maybe I can attach them to pull down retractable cable and lower them when in use.

Im a big fan of erins audio corner. Klippel backed speaker data

Doesn’t help when some of these reviewers also make unhelpful comments, I nearly fell off my chair when a certain reviewer stated that just because someone is ISF certified (or PVA) doesn’t make them a good calibrator. Not many of the reviewers come from a technical background and most are just paid shrills. No real qualifications or training. Sadly they get sent calman and calibration equipment for gratis, where as we have to pay a fortune. Cheers

I’m over here in the UK, and although I couldn’t use your room engineering services, I took away lots of useful information over the years from your videos. One of the most valuable tips was not to go as big as I could for the screen. My wall can accommodate around a 122” screen with floorstanders either side, at a squeeze, being a bloke you want the biggest right!! After watching your video on screen size and how many ft/lamberts you need for a decent HDR image, not to mention one of the most crucial points you made about being too close to the side walls and having light reflected back on to the screen, I’ve dropped my needs and wants to a 115” screen. I’ve also gone a size smaller for my floorstanders. This makes for an aesthetically pleasing and well balanced front viewing area, now everything looks and sounds in harmony, and everything has room to breathe. I have the Sony VW760es laser projector, and because of the points you raised in the screen size video, I feel that the image output is near perfect without losing all its best attributes had I gone with a larger screen. I’m sat 11.5ft away from my screen, I also personally feel had I gone 120/122” on fast action Michael Bay style scenes and fast panning shots, my eyes couldn’t handle the image, causing fatigue and blurring of the image, for my eyesight. I am using Black Devore all around the screen and approx 4ft into the room on all sides and ceiling, this is a revelation in how much contrast I’ve gained. The rest of the room is painted in a neutral flat matt dark to mid grey. I have a 22ft x 11.5ft lounge, the fixed 16:9 framed screen is at one end of the room and I sit half way in the room away from the screen, utilising a 7.2.4 system. Behind my seating is the front half of the room which is used for general lounging and watching tv, where there is a bay window which is the only ambient light coming into the room. The room is near enough pitch black when curtains are drawn. The only thing I haven’t done is room treatment for acoustics…yet. It just remains to say I have a wife that was made in the Victoria Bitter factory😂. as I’ve not had to compromise anything in the lounge/cinema room. I married a fantastic woman. Regards this video, I hear you, and agree with so much of what you have said and value the honesty and transparency, so many KZfaqrs have sold out and it is so apparent to see, they need to give some of us a little credit for having a brain to be able to read or “see” between the lines. Thanks for all your time and effort and wish you continued and greater success in 2024.

Great video. More power to you boys.

guyz we love you and what you do keep on it.
