    Matt as someone who installs audio/video equipment, my only 2 critiques are that you would want the fireplace and audio equipment on 2 separate circuits as you can get an audio back feed, the second issue is the placement of the center channel as it's way too high in the air to get the best vocal rendition, I would have put the center below the TV so that the center channel is closer to the sitting position. Overall your 5.2 setup looks clean.

      Also, in my opinion, the drivers + amp combo he used are nowhere near powerful enough for a really good sound experience.
      I would have added more bass drivers, and used ports. I also would have redone the designs of all the other speakers to just be better...

I would argue the whole "timbre matching" thing is made to seem a lot more important than it actually is in the vast majority of cases, though. Those drivers could certainly be made to sound much better in a different design, but that's not the only goal of the project. He did everything he could to make the sound good. The Dayton DSP amp boards will especially come in handy for all of the quirks this design might introduce, and so it's conceivable that this design could be made to sound on par with very good dedicated systems. It's a really well done project all things considered.

    • @jeehaa7099
      @jeehaa7099 Před rokem +15

      I wonder if the difference between 5.1 and 5.2 would be the number of subwoofers? Or does the last number mean the number of signals, so if two subwoofers are getting the same signal it would still be 5.1? And can you even get a stereo signal subwoofer setup if you have two subwoofers? An AV receiver normally has only one subwoofer output. When you attach three subwoofers to one output, would that make 5.3 or still 5.1 since it's the same audio signal?
      I know you can hardly hear stereo on these low frequencies, but the naming scheme is still interesting.

      It really depends on the input signal. For example 7.2 has two separate subwoofer channels. If you have a 5.1 input and 5.1 amp, you can have a 100 subs its still 5.1. some floorstanding speakers have huge subs that go pretty low and with biwiring you can even go without a subwoofer.
      However this setup seems to be adjustable for all drivers (i believe only the surrounds are 2driver for one channel) and the programming capability is very interesting.

    Wow! This is amazing! Great Job!
    I have got to learn more about speaker programming but I can not wait to build one for myself!

    This video was so well done man, you can tell you put a ton of effort in editing as well as the physical work you put in to making the home cinema as well. Much respect! 💯

    I like this much better than those art tvs they gave now. You never cease to amaze me with the projects you come up with. Thanks for sharing

    Young man, you are operating at a whole new level of combined technical function and aesthetic form. This is the coolest thing I have seen from you, and the coolest entertainment center concept and finished product that I have ever seen.

    Excellent work, and I like the selection of speakers. One thing I would recommend doing in the future if you do other things like this is to use insert nuts and bolts to screw in the covers for the speaker covers, with a silicone gasket for sealing if necessary. This would aid in disassembly for transport as well as serviceability. You can also plug screw holes with dowels, or get caps for each bolt head. Not as seamless as filler and paint, but it's a lot easier to service.

    Really cool idea and execution 👌🏻 Being an audiophile, I would love to hear it. Generally, you want resonance free (not square) cabinets and the tweeters on all front speakers to be identical and pointed directly at the listening position, you want a full range center speaker, but there are few rules without exception in hifi.
    I really like the concept and the dual subs. Would love to see a motorised version. Keep up the good work 💪😃

      I suppose the speakers being on hinges mean you could point them at really any target in the room. Just depends on if the hinges can hold the doors in specific places

      @@Squeph I was thinking of the center channel, whick should be tilted downwards. The issue with the hinges (if they can not be fixed in a specific position is of course that any action has an equal and opposite reaction, meaning that when the membrane moves forward, the door will mobe slightly backwards, making the sound a bit less punchy. Usually it also improves the sound to have the speakers on stand mounts in stead of on shelves, so the resonance does not make the furniture “play along”.

    Great build, I especially like the LG Qlledminilediminiledqled TV.

    Its an awesome idea and build. However, I do wonder if in reality the doors will mostly be left open hence it would be nice to have some removable covers to hide the hinges to give it a more nicer permanent look.

      Painting the hinges the same color as the cabinet would probably be enough as you generally aren’t looking at the speaker housing when you’re watching TV.

      yeah agree, most will eventually just leave the doors open and definately in the UK most rooms are likely not that big therefore wasting precious space on either side of the unit just for the doors/speakers. Nice but probably not practical.

      Or just get black hinges?

      I think the hinges look great. If the intent was to have it open most of the time, they would've simply been on the outside. However, that's not the intent. You talked about reality rather than intent, and it's definitely fair to assume it might be left open more often than not. However, this is a purpose built enclosure. As for this specific one, the person who designed it will also be the one using it. That would make me lean more towards reality matching with intent. If this was a mass-market product, then yeah maybe the hinges should've been on the outside when closed. Again though, I like how they look lol.

    Looks great and it turns out well, that trick to hide the gap in between the doors I did not know that as an DIY person myself.
    what I should do is to color the hinges black or the same color as the closet.
    Now these look so dominant.
    I should probably use the walnut vernier at the center speaker as well.
    Great job, looking forward to your next project👍

      The masking tape trick has been used in Television for a long time of flats for sets.
