Its a great guide for beginners and experts too. 👌 Thanks
You don't know how much I appreciate this video. Thanks!

This is awesome!
Just the video I was looking for.
Just got a set of Jamo c97's (floor standers) with a Jamo center channel and a Denon receiver (x1700h). Something I didn't expect - as a person new to the hobby - was that I had to make my speaker cables. Once I set it up, blows away my old soundbar setup. The wife really took to it too. Good video.
A great service to newbies looking for great sound. How to get started in home audio. Thank you, Mike!

Good video and excellent advice.
I've had several soundbars and surround sound package but it was only when I purchased a budget AVR and a pair of budget speakers, I realised what I was missing (stereo imaging, thumping bass) besides going down this route.one can always add to it overtime... surround speakers, subwoofers one could even get hight speakers and get the full on on virtual Dolby Atmos experience. Nowadays AVRs are so easy to setup, they even walk me through the process!
Remember folks "movies are 50% visuals and 50% audio and there are occasions when the audio out does the visuals". 🤔

What kind of audio system do you want to build. Is it just for stereo music or is it for music, gaming and movies. If it is for the latter then what kind of the TV do you have and are you likely to upgrade the TV in the near future. Your total budget would also help.
I got two cerwin vegas vs-150. Whats your thoughts on these vs new speakers?
This kind of equipment is very expensive where I live, so I had to improvise. I went the Ali Express route to a sound that I think holds up against expensive hifi systems. It sounds great to my ears, for sure.
2 Nobsound NS06G amps, each with a dedicated aftermarket switching power supply. With a proper power supply, these amps are absolutely silent when no music is playing. No hum, no hiss. The amps were $50 each and the power supplies $20 each.
An Ayima Tube A3 preamp with the chips upgraded to Muses02. About $70 altogether.
Speakers are Yamaha NS F150 floor standing speakers that I got for $200 the pair. 2 Monoprice mini-center speakers which were about $40 each, and two Monoprice powered subwoofers at about $50 each. In addition, I added 4 cheap Boss tweeters that I mounted on a couple of plastic brackets. They cost another $20.
One amp powers the floors and feeds the subs, and the other runs the centers and tweeters.
My source is a Raspberry Pi 3 with HiFi Berry DAC and 7" Touchscreen running Max2Play OS. About $140.
Altogether, that's $750 for an loud and really clear and punchy hifi setup, with lots of brightness and bass. I can also control the Raspberry Pi from an app on my phone called Squeeze Controller, browse tracks, create playlists etc.
I'm sure that some might scoff at the low quality of some of these components, but I've had nice equipment in the past and what I've put together beats it for volume and clarity.

I like the shirt bro, nice throwback 👍🏻
Thanks, I sell them on my online store! Check it out www.audioarkitekts.com
Yes, that does help. I didn't even know the names of the equipment I needed ...well I knew I needed speakers and wires. Lol
I am glad I could help!
Does anyone know where the background music at 21:08 is from? 🥺Thank you!
My first thing in life, in the house 🏡 is to buy speakers 🔊 and amplifiers 😅I have Jami speakers and pioneer amplifier, it’s amazing sound, specially for watching movies! Before i had Norks Audio speakers, beastiii i still have them back home in Serbia 🇷🇸 Niw i live in Malta 🇲🇹 And first thing which i bay were good speakers 🔊 😅The only thing i didn’t buy subwoofer
Thanks-I’m a dyed in the wool, 2 channel caveman.
I'm only a minute and 30 seconds into your video bro and I just want to say thanks man
I am glad you like it. Share it with all your friends, I would love to grow!

Great video!
Can I connect AVR-S750H with Aperion Verus III Grand Bookshelves?
I have it connected to the Aperion Concert Towers, their Verus Center channel and the grand towers as rears and it sounds fantastic!
i am actually trying to learn this i have bought tons of broken things and have watched numeroud video and nobody has offered to hold a hand lol. but im starting from scratch. bare speakers building voice coils and making the cones as well as the rubber . im building my own amp and pre amp and base and trebble filters im building a set of tower speakers of just mismatched speakers but when im done everything will be matching. i just would like some tips thats all. cant wait till the next video
What I would recommend is to get a few books on the subject. Read about all the science behind it. Building speakers and components is very difficult but not impossible. I would start off with a few DIY projects available out there, then make the jump.
Great video!!! I have a serious question. I want to upgrade my current 2.1 Logitech to a better 2.1 'hifi' audio setup - mainly connected to my computer. I have a soundcard connected to my PC (Komplete audio 6) through which I run my Z623 speakers. I'm looking to buy either the Q Acoustics 3010 pair or the Wharfdale Diamond 12.2.
My questions is - Do i absolutely need an amplifier?? Is it possible to draw power from my computer through the soundcard I have connected already?? I'll need to buy a sub anyways, so I'm really hoping I can avoid buying an amp :((( Please advice! Thank you :))

I want to build my first real sound system.. Right now my sound system is just 2 Logitech Z623 amps with 3 subs and 4 speakers which are connected via 2 aux cables to a bluetooth adapter. Maybe its my time to build a real system. I mostly listen to rap, pop, edm, hip-hop and other bass-heavy music. Thats the main reason i have 3 subwoofers in my current system. But i think that one great subwoofer would outperform my 3 cheap subs easy. My current speakers are Soundqubed 6x9 speaker x2 and 2 of the original logitech speakers. This was a helpful video, thanks a lot.
Thanks for watching the video. Depending on your budget you can go many different directions. I’m going to give you some recommendations though: Replace your current speakers with the Q Acoustics 3030i’s. Those speakers alone have a ton of bass and are great for the type of music you listen to. Next, invest in an SVS PB-1000 Pro. That right there will be a game changer. For amplification use a basic two channel receiver with a sub out. SVS has something called the Soundbase which also streams music. Marantz also has that CR610 I mentioned in the video. Good luck friend! Let me know if you need any more help!
@@mykandrew Thanks a lot for the tips. Does the SVS PB-1000 Pro really go 17HZ? Because thats like.. super low bass. On my current setup i can hear bass only down to about 27HZ or so. I’ve actually done some thinking of what buying and this is my current shopping list:
SVS PB-1000 Pro subwoofer
Q Acoustics 3030i speakers
Denon AVR-S650H amplifier
@@basslover666 I have the SB1000 Pro and it gets nice and deep. Remember, positioning is everything with subwoofers. Depending on where you place your sub can completely change your entire experience!
@@mykandrew Alright, ill keep that in mind.
Great informative video. I’m just getting back into hifi after many years. Let’s just say I had reel to reel. It’s all very confusing but I’m trying to learn. Great video.
Thank you, I am glad you liked it. Of you have any questions I would be happy to help.
Optical cable has little red lights on it? 😂😂😂 That’s a good one
Subd. Thank you for speaking a different language. Here is my issue; I have an AVR that is 5.1 pushing 45 watts per channel. I was recently given a set of tower speakers that is starving for 200 watts. I do not have any pre outs on my older receiver. How can I get more power to the 2 front towers and still use my avr to control volume etc. any ideas ? Thank you in advance
Sorry to tell you, you need pre outs
Hey my name is Jessie that was very good how you describe how to pick a sound system for
Thank you Jessie!
Sensitivity will determine how much power you need to drive the speakers Klipsch are high sensitivity, Jamo have some very reasonable bookshelf and tower speakers. Also Fluance has some very good sounding , reasonable priced speakers
Absolutely....Polk too..Jamo S 809 towers are umder $400 a pair on Amazon
Question: What are these components and how do they fit in a system? - “Bridge” “Endpoint” and “Streamer” vs “Streamer-Transport”

Hello!
I currently bought a set of
Klipsch RP-8000F speakers
I am planing to use them for a combination of music and home theatre.
Can i ask what amp would you recomend? Or is the denon avrS750H a good pick?
Klipsch are notoriously easy to drive so yeah the Denon would do just fine. I have the Denon powering 5 power hungry speakers at the moment and it doesn't break a sweat.
@@mykandrew thank you for the feedback !
Hey, great video! I'm very new to speakers and audio and had a question - I am doing a full size skoolie build, we are about to close the ceiling but wanted to wire in ceiling speakers before so. We will put in like $25k when this is all said and done so we are wayy over budget - my question was what would you recommend for skoolie, tiny home 110v ceiling speaker set up, amp, reciever for Like $400 max for all of it. Hoping to have split bedroom and living room/kitchen deal. Maybe like speakers 6-8 speakers total. Any thing you can recommend would help or resources. Thank you! I'm Subcribed for more.
Email me, I will help build you a proper system. mike@audioarkitekts.com
@@mykandrew I'm not doing a skoolie, but I am interested in ceiling speakers and system too. I hope you will do a video on that as well.

I have older tv flat screens can I use a sound bar to link em for watching movies off Netflix and what about gaming PS4 can I use sound bar to hear my game play? Thanks for vid btw .I have older tower speakers that hook up to a receiver by dvd .can't link it to my flatscreen looking for sound with the updated text 👍
Starlord, I am so sorry it has taken me this long to reply. If your TV has an optical output, most sound bars offer optical inputs. So yes you could definitely connect your flat screen to a sound bar.

Infinity was the best in the. 70s & 80s, don’t know what is now. I bought my first stereo in 76, got a great set for $600.00 back them. Probably worth 1500.00 or $2,000.00 now.
Good to do homework and research before considering. Others have less inhibitions. (Personal issues requires i wait for Yamaha to bankrupt and totally invalidated before even considering... ) video comes after audio in audio-video.
What led to the decision of your logo design?

Comentário brasileiro que você procura🇧🇷🇧🇷
Deixando minha recomendação de sistema de áudio para vinil. Pesquisei bastante pra comprar meu primeiro setup quando eu era estagiário e a grana era curta. Montei um sistema muito sólido mesmo para músicos profissionais com o mínimo de dinheiro. Foi o seguinte:
Speaker: Edifier R1000T4 (bookshelf)
Source: Toca discos ATLP60x (record player)
Eis a explicação no geral, pra haver som você precisa 3 de coisas:
A fonte (source): de onde o som vem
A ampliação (amplification): como o som se transforma
O som (speaker): onde o som sai
Quando mais complexo o sistema, mais peças isoladas são usadas para fazer essas funções. No caso do meu sistema a fonte fica por conta do toca discos junto com a pré amplificação, a ampliação e a saída do som fica por conta da caixa de som. É o jeito mais barato de montar, simplificar o número de peças. No começo procure por essas 4 etapas

Weird question- your videos titled “how to build a HiFi system in 2023”, but the video was uploaded 2 years ago lol? Did u just change the title as the years went by or something?
I did because the information is still pertinent and not outdated.

@@FunnyGtaVidz what are your goals? Gaming? Music?
‘Dude has stereo PLANTS on his coffee table; we can trust him.
Bookshelf speakers: subwoofer isn’t negotiable. There are VERY few genres of music that don’t benefit from good bass.
Amplifier: look at the % THD spec. Lower is better. You don’t want it distorting when you turn it up. Mass market A/V receivers usually stink here. Go for an integrated amp instead.
I figured a five channel plant setup would have been overkill lmao
The problem with reviews and audiophiles is they're so spoilt by top tier stuff that their advice is useless for the average person who just wants an affordable improvement. Like, if my "sound system" has just been the internal wall TV speakers, *any* sound system is going to be better than it. If I ask a reviewer/audiophile, they're going to tell me the entire low price tier is trash, because compared to their *baseline* the low end *is* trash. But compared to what I have, even the low end may be a significant step up. This makes audio seem elitist, and makes many people just give up on trying to improve their setup because they're told everything in their price range is "trash". That's on top of head-spinning jargon and the "absolute requirement" to have every single piece of equipment when even just a couple of the components would be a step up.
Advice should be tailored and compared to what a person currently has, not compared to utopia.
So seeing videos like this makes me happy. Simple, to the point, understandable for a newbie. Not elitist. Not giving the impression that it's *trying* to scare you off if you're not in the circle.
Most of the high end stuff I get my hands on for review is overpriced and overrated. Your point is right on. Glad you liked the video, I try to keep it as real as possible. Just as any hobby there will always be a price to pay to play, but as you mentioned, an entry level setup can sound 10x better than tv speakers. I could probably build someone a system from thrift store finds for Under $200
@@mykandrew Glad there are people in the "community" like you man, keep on keeping it real!
Date when video went out?😮
Nothing has changed.
I’m looking to do diy, not what components to buy.
How to build a hi fi home stereo system..... prepare ton of money.
Dude if you are on a budget just buy second hand stuff! Waaaaay more bang for buck. I never bought a new piece of equipment, even now that I have some money I still get second hand. Because hifi brands usually build quality stuff and you will want to try out different gear.
