What sub do you have now and what will you likely upgrade to?

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. Will do. I’m really enjoying movies on my system. So clear and spacious sound.

@@KevisFilms Clear and spacious 👍🏼😃 I've never thought that my setup can sound that good!

It will do it atomically :-)

Thank you for watching!

Yes. I changed the crossover for my rear top speakers. It still sounds great! What is the script telling you to set them at? What are you trying to set them to?

A1 EVO set them too: 10:32:51 PM [INFORMATION] Speaker C: 90Hz 10:32:51 PM [INFORMATION] Speaker FL: 60Hz 10:32:51 PM [INFORMATION] Speaker FR: 60Hz 10:32:51 PM [INFORMATION] Speaker SLA: 90Hz 10:32:51 PM [INFORMATION] Speaker SRA: 90Hz 10:32:51 PM [INFORMATION] Speaker TFL: 80Hz 10:32:51 PM [INFORMATION] Speaker TFR: 80Hz 10:32:51 PM [INFORMATION] Speaker TRL: 90Hz 10:32:51 PM [INFORMATION] Speaker TRR: 90Hz My speakers are the following below. I was told they should be around 10-15hz more than what the specs start off with Klipsch CDT 3650 C* II- 63Hz-23KHz Klipsch RP-504 C** II - 50-25kHz Klipsch R-5502 W II - 46Hz-20KHz Klipsch R-5650 S II - 60Hz-23KHz Klipsch RP-1000 SW - 19Hz-131Hz

Take a look at your final frequency response in REW (after script finishes) and see where they (each speaker) starts to drop off as they cross over the subwoofer frequency.

@@KevisFilms They look a little off. I think its because I may have the Subwoofer Target settings wrong in REW for my Klipsch RP-1000 subwoofer type. What should these settings be set too? I went with the default as you indicated in your video and I think this need adjusting to match my sub specs of 19Hz-131Hz Target type: Subwoofer Bass management cutoff (HZ): 250 Bass management slope: 12db / oct LF Cutoff (Hz): 12 LF Slope: 24 db / oct

I’ve not come across this on my end. Let me see if I can dig into this and get back to you.

Disregard this one, I uploaded the wrong Audessy file. Uploaded the right one and all went well

Great!!

I appreciate the feedback. Thank you.

I will adjust any speaker that the script tells me to crossover below the speaker’s capabilities (I changed my rear Atmos from 40hz to 80hz). Also, I may bump up my center channel a db or two. I believe he said that he is pretty much done and really could not improve the script any more than it is now. We shall see.

@@KevisFilms I will be trying it out this weekend and saving myself days on days trying to figure my calibration out. After A1 Evo have you measured your setup at reference 0db on your avr? I m just curious. I will do that just because I have to know.

I have not measured at 0 on my AVR. I might try as well. Let me know what you find out with measurements after you run the script. Good luck!

in my case I prefer the directional mode on my Denon 3800X I have 4 subs that are place in every for corner of my media room and compare it with standard bass the directional mode sound way better , bass is more punchy , voice are crisp and detail and the immersion of the surround is more vivid . The standard mode with Evo 1 scrip sound very good also but I prefer the sound more crystal with plenty of bass

I agree with @mauriciob8260 with the results. Also, I went back to REW and studied the frequency response of A1 and EVO and they were overall similar. EVO had better summation (not by much) around the 60-70 ish hz region which usually is a problem area (nulls) in my space. I used the latest EVO target curve which was also more aggressive in the low end than the Floyd Toole curve from A1.

@@mauriciob8260 I have four subs connected to my AV10 using minidsp 2x4 hd. I'm planning to get rid of minidsp and just connect my subs directly to my AV10 as it already has 4 independent sub outs but I'm not sure how A1 would time align them .

OCAs script calculates best delays for multiple subs and then converts back to Standard bass mode where all subs get same signal, which is best for bass response across multiple seats. The reason for measuring in Directional mode is to get the measurements for each sub so that they can be time aligned for best response as a combined unit. BTW time aligned doesn't mean that they are phase aligned at all - not for sub frequencies.

Thank you! I’m using 4 mic positions. Center main listening position, 10” to the right and left, and 10” in front of the main listening position. Let me know if this helps.

@@KevisFilms Hello , why just 4 position and not 8 position 🤔

@@mauriciob8260 that’s a great question! Being that I’m keeping my sampling bubble pretty small, I did not see a need to keep moving the mic. The frequency response from the positions that I use are very similar overall (reviewing in REW once extracted) Maybe at a later date I may try 8 different positions within my same bubble and compare.

@@mauriciob8260 A1 Evo is optimized for use the first 3 positions as far as i know. Middle of your head left ear and right ear, is where the mic must be placed for best results. I use A1 Evo v3 it sounds great indeed, with the use of Fir filters there are no phase shifts in the sound and the system sounds like high end headphones or electrostatic speakers.

I love Gladiator! Have you seen the trailer for the sequel?

@@KevisFilms I have! I'm not sold on it yet. A few things that don't look/feel great but hopefully its just the trailer and doesn't reflect the movie.

Sounds like you have a great set up! What projector did you end up going with? Thanks for watching!

@@KevisFilms Hi , my projector is the Dangbei Mars Pro 4k HDR

Thank you! It’s definitely a painful to clean my popcorn machine, but my boys insist that I make popcorn 😂.

😂👍🏽

Thank you!!

Thank you

@@KevisFilms You’re welcome 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Thank you! Too many to name but I’ll try :-) The Dark Knight trilogy, The Usual Suspects, Speed, The Six Sense, Mystic River, and many more. How about you, what are your favorite movies?

@malcolmarcher4239 Thank you!

@sofabaton Thank you for watching! Yes, very interested. I use 4 different remotes now for the different components and there is a lot shuffling depending on what I’m watching, powering up, and shutting down.

Thank you!

Thank you! Will do :-).

@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.

Thank you! What are some good options for screens that you recommend? Maybe I can order some samples for comparisons.

They sound great! They are heavy for sure, but with the right mounting they can be placed pretty much anywhere. Thank you for watching.

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?

Thank you @piperboywilliams !

Thank you!!

This 5.1 mix was great with the upmix! Thank you for sharing! I love Braveheart!!

Funny, but true lol.

That one is a classic! I’ll be back! 😊

Thank you!!

@denniso9503 thank you!!!

@djparra41 let me see if I can put a short video together this week. Is there anything in particular that you would like to see?

@@KevisFilms awesome thank you! I’d like to see start to finish, any additional equipment/programs (if needed), before/after graphs of time alignment would be cool and personal takeaways/benefits and whether it made just the main listening position better/all seats/or some seats more than others. I know it’s a lot but this isn’t well covered and I believe it to be the future go-to for tuning. So to have someone break it down into something more digestible would put you on the map. Thanks again sir!

I like this. Let me work on it. I have a few planned videos ahead but should not be too long to get one like this out.

@@KevisFilms sounds awesome! I’ll be sure to tune in!

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.

Thank you!

Thank you! Definitely make the drive to Audio Advice. The staff was super welcoming and I was the only one in the room (it was early) enjoying all their demos :-)

@chriscurry5557 approximately 15’ wide x 25’ long x 9’ tall.

@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.

@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.

@triplerinse thank you! What was your favorite setup at MWAVE? I’m planning to go 2025! Congrats on the ls12000!

@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.

Thank you! Audio Advice’s room was silent! They really had an unbelievable setup!

Thank you!

@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.

@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 🤯

Thank you! I love family movie time! Popcorn, a snack and a drink! Maybe a rack way down the line. I like that the receiver gets plenty of air in the open.

Those speakers were great to me for over 14 years! I still have them.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

@rick-val22 I bought these off strong-tech dot com. They had six left at the time of purchase.
