So healthy to see one of best audio people on CZcams is totally relaxed about his theater and is not obsessed (like myself) with upgrades and best possible components.
Erin, Your humble verbal description of your room did not do it justice. You should be so proud of yourself and the work you've done.
Well, thank you!
@@ErinsAudioCorner No Sir, Thank you. Please keep up with your great efforts, but try not to burn yourself out. All the very best to you and your family!
Dope setup Erin. Love those massive horns.
Thanks, Michael!
You seem to beat me to these non-theater room creators videos :)
You must love to watch their videos as well, I watch them so much they pull up on my front page now, haha. I love to try and give advice and offer to help. Awesome you support so many Mike.
For those that do not know Mike has a channel dedicated to all things theater room and he is obviously also a very good guy from everything I have seen.
@@Justeric78 thank you for the kind words Eric. I don’t get to watch a ton of CZcams videos as I’m busy making content, hosting Home Theater Tours and developing websites for my clients but I always love hearing everyone’s story and seeing how they chose to build their home theater.
@@Youthman That is why it is surprising to see your posts, I just got done watching your latest KC tour :)
Dude! You are so like us (my bro and I). I'm 53 yrs old, and I can totally relate to the good old days of the movies and music you showed. Best of times for sure. Thanks for showing your awesome room!
I love to hear your enthusiasm .. =) It's a great system! ..and .. im comforted that I am not the only one still using a GoPro for my showcasing. I really like the aspect and view.. Feels personal and real. =)
I'm impressed! I like it when someone can put the theory into practice.
Cool what a handyman you are! I love the fact that you bought out old movies theater speakers and are giving them a new life! Your channel is very very informative and useful thank you for all your reviews!
RIP. That was one nice man cave.
"now we are going to change things up and go behind the screen" yeah baby!
I love that you did this video to give your audience a glimpse into your background and personal story. I would guess most here can relate to many aspects you present. I too built my own LCR’s and baffle wall with JBL compression drivers (2447’s on 2352 horns) active crossover, and Si subs. (And, yes, inwall surrounds are probably better 😳). Great stuff. Thanks!
Thanks! Sounds like we have nearly twin setups!
Erin - thanks for sharing and congratulations on all the hard work you are doing with speaker measurements and sharing real data to help us make informed choices. Also love the fact you are using pro audio amplifiers in your home cinema or should I call it 'cinema at home'. Would appreciate a video on merits/demerits of pro audio gear at home. Best wishes.
I appreciate that. And I'll keep in mind your suggestion for sure.
Bro....I really like your channel, and I didnt know what it was that set your channel apart from others, besides the knowledge. Now it just dawned on me......its the honesty and authenticity!
I appreciate that!
Great theater, I love that you have the speakers from your old movie theater!
“Chunk loves Sloth” killer set up dude! I literally love all the exact same movies and albums 😂
Thanks, brother from another mother !
Man, the theater speaker story got me. Totally understand. Those were the days!
Thanks for sharing. I loved that you shared the video of your “regular guy” theater. I personally will be thrilled if mine comes out as well as yours.
Nice setup. One day I would like to have a dedicated theatre room; probably be integrated into my man cave. Future goals.
Have a happy New Year
I love this! My wife and I are closing on our house and we will have a couple extra bedrooms. I have always wanted a movie room but don't want to spend an insane amount on putting it all together. Thanks for the inspiration!
Excellent job, I wish some of the stuff I did look that nice.
That cut to Rocky 5 clip hurt. I just aged 30years in 3 seconds. I remember Drago as a giant grown ass man. Now he looked like a fn teenager. 😢
I really enjoyed your video and genuine enthusiasm for the hobby. I can completely relate to every aspect of this video. Thanks for keeping it 💯
Awesome, thank you!
Wow man. That's amazing! Great work man. Mind blown!
Thanks!
Looks great man😊
It is so awsome that you have used the speakers from your childhood theater experience, that is just another level of cool 🤪
If the worn out seat (s) bother you, thick blankes is great. It also helps with reflections from the leather 😊
Nice overview. I agree 100% on the movie poster picks! 😀
Very, Very Nice Home Theater. Happy New Years.
Thank you very much!
Those theater speakers are awesome. Great setup.
Erin... You need more time.! 😝 Nice work man.! Love your JBL LCR.! Don't replace them.! I'm also using JBL compression driver, and they sound awesome. Thanks for the tour. Peace 👊👍
Yeah buddy. Love that you made this video❤❤
That's a pretty sweet room Erin! Thanks for taking to time to go through it. I don't mind the gopro type video to be honest. Sometimes a quick n easy video is the way to go. Congrats on all the success you've been having with your channel as well!
Thanks so much, dude! See ya on Monday at the DHF! Take care!
Happy that your a car audio , home audio and also HT guy Erin , much respect brother.
Much appreciated. My car audio past taught me a lot about acoustics from drivers to DIY'ing speakers and room interaction.
Truly amazing diy home theater. 3 ft build out is great. If it was 2 ft you be tripping over stuff. Really impressive setup. Thanks for sharing.
I had a collection of over 500 DVDs (this was before Blu-ray took off) I worked at best buy at the time during the accumulation. I kept a few classics like lion king, Bourne trilogy, matrix series, etc...but sold the rest for $200. Streaming truly killed off physical media. No more dealing with a "high-end" DVD/CD player, no more wasted space and clutter.
Man Erin I've been listening to you and the guys on Daily HiFi for a while and you always downplayed your system. I was always really curious to know what it was like. It's an awesome space. I hope someday I'll be able to DIY my own. Thanks for the insight and keep up the good work this year
Love the room and layout. I have a false wall in front of a window as well with custom made stands holding up my monitors. Thanks for sharing.
That's cool! My custom made stands are cinder blocks. But they work. LOL
@@ErinsAudioCorner LOL, it's all good. Mine aren't super high tech. It was a simple design my buddy came up with and we built them. I am also in the process of making some movie poster acoustic panels, similar to yours. I have some of the prints already.
Nice setup ⭐️
looks awesome man!
A Huge BZ to your Pragmatic Approach to the Audio Realm😃! Truly inspiring Video about a REAL System & Space; the same approach I've taken in my journey as an Audiophile since my teens in the late '70's. I have a complete KEF Q HT 7.1.4 Hybrid, anchored by Q10, Reference 100, & 2 HT2005.1 HT Systems (In storage awaiting the renovation of my wife's ancestrial home). My Audio System is the venerable LINN Kan Mk.1 for near-field listening and a JBL Studio Series II 6 Ch. System with Yamaha DSP-A2070 from the 90's. Saving my pennies for some SVS SB 1000/2000 pro SW. I have a DUAL & Onkyo Turntables & DVD-A/SACD Players to complement my FLAC's & CD. Keep up the Fantastic Content, you're an Inspiration😉!!!
15" woofers... I bet those JBLs sound amazing!
Nice system!
Nice job 💪🏻
Sports is such a great album, well done!
Right!?
Nice set up.
Thanks!
Being a 2 channel music enthusiast and upgrading to an Atmos setup, I couldn't believe how much my noise floor had risen. I was so dismayed with the background signal noise, which btw, some people may call an ambient sound of the room, I was actually thinking of going back to a two channel setup. It was only when I shielded my cables of length, the noise floor finally come down to satisfactory levels! Hence.. what does your room sound like when you press mute or pause.
Love it!
Awesome man
Great video tour man. Always been a fan of your channel. This hobby can get you so far in life love to see it man. And it’s definitely understandable that you only have a 5.1 setup noting wrong with that at all. I personally own a 7.2 and a 5.1.2 kinda crazy but this hobby makes you spend some serious money lol
Awesome! Thank you!
@@ErinsAudioCorner no worries man 😀🤝
Hey man that room looks spectacular!!!, I have a similar system with 3678 at the front, but the same rear ones in a 13.2 configuration, excellent choice of yours, I don't know why people choose to put a small sound having the opportunity to be able to acquire the professional sound that was used in our time in the cinemas, where the money was put in the sound not in how the speakers look, Congrattsss!!!
You have a really great home theater. Awesome diy rack. Do you mind sharing the list of materials used to construct the rack.
I made it using some scrap 2x4s, a piece of MDF (for the top), some caster wheels and some perforated metal from Lowe's. If you hit the hardware aisle you should be able to find some stock metal tubes, etc and the perforated metal should be there. Just be mindful of the 2x4's you use. I used some scrap ones that were warped and that caused me issues where the steel rack part was too wide or too narrow at certain spots; the gear wouldn't fit properly. So, I had to rebuild with straighter pieces.
Have you thought about acoustic treatments for the ceiling or rear wall? How about black velvet for the front of the room?
Pretty cool.
"Justify the purchase". That's really on-point, Sir. Keep up the goodwork. Better days ahead. Plus, if someone really love good classic movies with great writing and storyline performed by well-directed good actors, yeah, the 5.2 system would be more than enough to not get bored to watch them repeatedly. Really love that memorabila-vibes through out the video (It must be really great to watch "Cinema Paradiso" there).
Also when someone does upgrade and gets an AVR that can upmix to 7.2.4 it is truely amazing. True DTS-X and Dolby Atmos is great, but I have really enjoyed upmixed 5.1 DTS-HD master tracks.
"Where does he get those wonderful toys!"
Classic line. 👍
Nice setup Erin! The other guys at daily Hi-fi don't have anything on you man. The Atmos/Auro upgrade will come whenever it comes..no rush. Thanks for the tour!
I'm gonna quote you on that and get them all fired up. LOL
Hey hey!!! I just moved to my new place about 6 months ago. Give me a second to get settled in! LOL!
@@ErinsAudioCorner Np man, I'll stand in as the firestarter 👍
@@joentell No worries Joe, we know you dialing in the Auro just right before you get even more advanced with the Dirac and Masterclass lineup of courses..bring it on bro!
Cool to see. Quite interested in the DIY screen. Was it based on any well known recipe? Have you measured the influence of the screen?
After seeing your setup i am kind of tempted to look into something that is acoustically transparent.
Nice setup 👍. Oh man you sound like me my wife and I both work full time we have 2 kids in weekly activities so getting a movie night in at home takes Planning lol my upgrades are also on hold most people wont understand the juggling of life and trying to enjoy your setup.
Right on, man!
Great setup bro, I wouldnt change a thing except to use it more! Swap those 3 front chairs to a couch so you and your wife can snuggle up and watch movies lol. Need to enjoy that space more!
Haha. Good tip!
Love your theater, thanks for the tour. Only thing I'd suggest is when you're able to upgrade your projector, receiver, and blu-ray player to 4k versions. Oh, and I know what you mean about pets....our cats can reek havoc on our coaches and speaker grills.
Thanks, man! Yea, I've been eyeing the JVC stuff for the past couple years but man... so much money for that upgrade. Maybe one day, though! Of course, by then it'll probably be 10k everything. 😂
@@ErinsAudioCornerLol, I hear ya. Maybe try the used market, sometimes it’s possible to find some good gear at reasonable prices…
Those boxes for your subs seem a lot smaller than they recommend for the latest version. How do you get away with the"small" enclosures for the HT-18s? DSP? Boundary effect? When I model your box and drivers, the -3db point is like 35db, but maybe WinISD stinks. Just asking because I'm about to build an enclosure for an HT-18 v3 and I'm not looking forward to carrying a 20 cu-ft enclosure down to the basement. Thanks man!
Love the high efficiency speakers! So cool! Just Wondering. I'm my experience Subjectively, it seems like frequency response drops off differently as you move back in distance on smaller inefficient speakers vs large speakers even if they are set to the same perceived volume nearfield. Seems like more high efficiency speakers somehow overcome this, but maybe its just because they can get louder overall?
It is *possible* that the smaller ones just don't have the chops. If you notice, I provide a compression graphic in my reviews that shows how/if the response changes as output is increased. Many speakers have a pretty big shift in FR as you go from 76dB to 96dB and 102dB. These are at 1m. So, you can imagine that in a large room where you are further from the speakers than 1m, that translates to less output. IOW, 102dB at 1m for a single speaker is about 92-94dB for a pair in a room at 4 meters. If we know the FR changes then it seems reasonable that could be what you're noticing.
Looks great, how do them crown amplifiers hold up?
Had them for a few years now. Maybe four years? Five? It's been a good bit. They're fine still. Noisy with high sensitivity speakers but I didn't wanna spend twice or more on amps that had a lower noise floor.
love your work first of all, thanks for all the contributions Erin! Question... if you were to "upgrade" your front soundstage, what would you pick? I'm in that mindset... i'm running BMR's... and they are awesome, but at almost 14' seating distance, i always wondered what something high efficiency would be like... :)
Honestly, there is so much out there I haven’t heard but want to that I don’t know what I’d get.
@@ErinsAudioCorner LOL, truth! I'll look forward to a video on it someday... :)
man would love to hear demo of those jbls or s theater demo
great video
Thanks!
Thanks for the tour. I enjoyed it. Did you talk about your rear speakers? I'll go back & rewatch in case I missed. Also, you mentioned Huntsville. Is that Huntsville UT?
Yea, I mentioned the surround speakers. JBL 8330A's. Huntsville, Alabama. :)
My favorite thing about your whole entire home theater is that stitch plush animal
Funny story is I bought that for my wife when we first started dating. Had it about 20 years now. :)
@@ErinsAudioCorner And when I grew up in Huntsville we did have the best freaking Bestbuy in the area
Excellent D.Y.I. job
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Erin, do you also have an hiss coming from your speakers with the crown xls?
I do, a little bit. But that's kind of to be expected. The crowns have a decent SNR but paired with 111dB sensitivity compression drivers, I can't expect to have zero noise.
Erin, have you done any measuring in this theater room? I ask because your baffle wall is very flimsy-looking. I've learned from installing a lot of speakers in baffle walls, that if the wall is not extremely rigid and and tightly sealed around the speaker, all manner of resonances are created. It takes serious bracing, double layer (5/8" drywall or one 5/8" MDF plus a 5/8" drywall layer) glued and screwed. All this make an enormous difference in performance for LCRs. What model surround is that? JBL Pro 8340A? Good choice...or the 8320 in a room that size. Cheers.
That's clean man, so you got a 5 channel setup? didn't see any more speakers or maybe missed your commentary. Wish I had a room like that, working with 12 x 14 but fortunately I dont have more than 2 people inside at any given time and I got no volume restrictions. Cant even have subs my room gets crazy overloaded, but I still enjoy it! Would personally say it gets louder than a theater in my room even around -15 to -10 db just cause it's so tiny
It's a 5.2 setup.
whats ground loop plug called again that is pluged into your projector again looks sweet
I added a link in the description. It's the HumX. amzn.to/3sHEEML
Undoubtedly your setup is fantastic. We will be most happy, by doing it ourselves🤟.
Can someone reply, What is the use of Horns? Is it for long throw or more treble?
Horns help provide additional sensitivity and provide controlled dispersion. In a nutshell.
@@ErinsAudioCorner Thankyou Erin😊
You did some very good work here Erin, thank you for sharing. This randomly pulled up on my front page and this is the nicest space from a non-theater room creator I have seen so far. I also have made the movie poster acoustic panels and I loved to see them. If you put some little cork feet on the back of them and get mounts that hang so there is an air gap they actually perform better. I created mine with a little thick lumber so it is built into the frame, yours though have many less mistakes in the construction than mine :)
For the screen, you mentioned the incorrect measurement, so I take it this cannot be true 16:9 due to that? Are you limited on throw distance on being able to take advantage of the extra real estate on the top and/or sides?
Excellent work all around though, it is cleaner than mine and I enjoyed the tour. I also have dogs though and I know what you mean by trying to keep it all cleaned up. I have dog blankets and toys all around me as I type this haha.
Thanks! Yea, I actually built mine to have about 1/2-inch of dead space behind them so they would be effective a bit lower in frequency. But I appreciate you looking out for me. ;)
@@ErinsAudioCorner very nice man it looked flush, again, awesome work I am going to sub since you review speakers :)
My dad got me one of the jbl 8340 I believe it is at a flea market …He passed away and I decided to keep it it..I’d like to get 2 more to complete a front stage,but sadly they are too expensive for me…cheapest I found was on eBay and they 200$ each …nice set up my friend !!
Well, here's hoping you are able to find a replacement soon.
NICE !!! ...
*❌ **_nice simple enjoyable setup 😎_*
Was it expensive to run the two dedicated 20A outlets from your panel to however far this is from it?
IIRC, I believe that Erin had this house built from the ground up on an empty lot, and the theater room and electrical runs were incorporated into his plans from the start...IOW, the dedicated electrical runs were not a retrofit or add-on after the fact. It's much less expensive when these types of dedicated circuits are included in the construction and electrical plans before building begins.
Yep, as bb foto said, I had it done when I built the house.
lol during your intro you downplay your home theatre but it's pretty impressive!
Erin, I believe you mentioned after the Kii3 speaker video that you would do a video offering your thoughts on the the Kii vs Dutch & Dutch 8C. So, just to let you know I would still like to hear your thoughts. By the way, I always look forward to watching your videos. Thank you.
That’s still planned. I already shot one part.
@@ErinsAudioCorner Thanks. I look forward.
Your ground loop issues could have been caused by outlets connected to different legs on your electrical panel. Let me come and do some wire management behind your home theatre equipment and put in an automation system. I bet your room sounds great though.
What a bout bicycle frame behind?? Is it made by you??
It's a Hoffman Taj re-issue. :)
Great setup! Sad you don't get to spend much time there. Someday you gotta upgrade to 7.2.4 and then Joe will get you going on Auro ;)
LOL.
If he had Auro, he would MAKE TIME to be up there! LMAO!
Oh boy Auro...hard to remember such an over hyped "format" in recent years. Nothing special about it.
power conditioner, furman makes good ones 20 amp is 500 and up 15 amp 300 and lower go for classic series
Feel like I'm part of the family
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🤗
Super super Awesome 😎👍 setup.
Thanks for letting us in your home theater.
I have a home theater setup but it's not really a dedicated room. Thank you again God
Bless. ✌️
Thanks for the kind words!
Erin…. Stick to what you have because you really won’t get much out of atmos because atmos mixing is horribly done these days except in few movies so you’re not missing anything there.
Your set up is perfect … just enjoy it with your family!!!
Our tastes are cut from the same cloth.
You lucky sob for salvaging those minty ex-cinema JBL woofers, drivers + horns.. Most likely for a very good price..
Indeed! I paid $800 for (4) of the compression drivers, woofers, horns, 8330A's AND a QSC 4-channel amp AND a 18" subwoofer. I sold the amp and 18" sub for $800 so those two paid for everything. :D
Why doesn't the projector's image not line up right with the screen? Looks like black bars on top and bottom and left and right. Could probably just zoom the projector in a bit, or move back to increase image size.
Because I screwed up the dimensions when I made the screen and never re-built it. That's why.
@@ErinsAudioCorner Easy mistake! I usually recommend to put the zoom in the middle, rather than fully maxed out, when setting up projector and screen. Then you have some leeway and can zoom in or out a little bit, and do final lineup without needing to remount anything.
Since it sounds like an easy zoom isn't possible, it wouldn't be too hard to move the projector back. . . probably even 2 inches and you'd be okay. Move it 4 inches back, and zoomed in a bit, and that would be perfect.
Why would you go on to do that whole build without setting up the screen right? That's like someone asking why there's no sound from the subs, and saying that the cables are too short. Like, okay, I guess that's a reason not to have working subs, but if the cables are too short, you get longer ones before moving on to room treatments or movie posters lol
Home theater basically has two jobs: audio and video. Should nail down the basics of both of those before all that other stuff.
@@DarthHater100 I don't think it's that big of an issue, personally. In some cases (full 4:3) it actually works out quite well. Standard 16:9 obviously has a top and bottom. Personally, I liken it to the folks who have anamorphic screens with the removable inserts; I wouldn't care to have to deal with that and I don't consider the extra "dead" space an issue.
@@ErinsAudioCorner More like "folks who have anamorphic screens with removable inserts THAT THEY DON'T USE THE INSERTS (screen masks) AND HAVE CRAZY GREY BARS"!!
At least your movie pictures aren't smaller than the frame and don't have bars on all four sides showing the backboard! Glad to see those get the proper treatment!
Would be weird if movie posters had the same problem as the primary focus of the entire room, all the equipment, and all the content being watched: the screen!
I could never do a screen of any size without screen masks to frame it in nice, let alone have grey bars in 16x9 _and_ 2.35. That's just a lose-lose situation.
LOL just busting your balls. Nice work on the build!
why 18hz?
Erin I saw your video of your own home theatre system & have been following your othe reviews & AVS forum,so wanted to have your opinion,here in India we do not have any high efficiency demos ,so wanted to have your opinion. My room is 20 feet X 26 feet with 9.5 feet height ,as locally the dealers do not give any demos I am unable to decide ,so to save money I read on internet about DIYsound group high efficiency kits ,also about PI kits , otherwise high end sounding G R research & CSS criton kits & also BMR Philharmonic kits ,I am unable to decide , hence a request to you advise me which speaker shall be able to fill my room. I shall be very much thankful to you.without any prejudice to kit builders . I prefer natural relaxed live music
If you have access to EQ (like miniDSP or Dirac, etc) then give the DIYSG stuff strong consideration. If not, you'll want a more linear speaker. The BMR stuff is quite nice.
@@ErinsAudioCorner . Thanks Erin’s great to have your opinion , I will buy AVR with Dirac equalisation,,som of the AVR,s of 2021 are equipped with Dirac..Thanks again
On man. That’s like- Simultaneously my future, and my past. We must be around the same age Erin.
By future I mean I always wanted to build my own home theatre. By past I mean, I too! am a 80’s tragic (The Never Ending Story)
The other thing is the creation. You build it; it’s great! Then it loses its gloss and you go onto next build. Not enough time to listen or watch for the mad scientist/ constructor/creator
Do you happen to love Stranger Things as much as I do as well? :)
Is this a 7.1 system?
As I said in the video, it's 5.2. It's wired up for 11 channels of surround. Plus subs. I just don't see the point at this point.
@@ErinsAudioCornerSorry my bad... I'm glad to see that you haven't fallen pray to the " numbers game" like most in HC... :)
Thats a nice setup, real nice!! If I were you id say f**k it and find a real turtles cabinet, just get the damn thing! My fam owned a video store early on in VHS, think i practically wore out my goonies tape when I was 5 or 6, lol.
Man, I've come close a few times. There's a fella in Chattanooga (a couple hours from me) who reconditions and repairs old cabs. He's got a TMNT cab but wants about $2800 for it. I would LOVE to own it but my goodness... that's a TON of money. And getting it upstairs would suuuuuuck. LOL
Where are your BIC subwoofers? Just saying... 😂 Lol
My theater is always incomplete. Im not super interested in packaged pro installed theaters. Diy theaters are much more interesting imo.
Airpods no headphones?I think i have more movies and my system aint anywhere near that. The screen needs some masking to fit the picture........
The airpods connect wireless to my appleTV which is what I stream movies through. :)
No 4k ? :/
Not on the Oppo. I'm not too bothered by it. My PJ can't do 4k anyway. For me to upgrade to 4k would be costly and it's not "worth" it at this stage for my family. Unless you want to send me a new PJ and BDP. :p
@@ErinsAudioCorner I was maybe expecting some crazy 4k projector and a closet full of 4k disks. That's what I get for coming to an audio channel lol. Players seem cheap enough.. Its them projectors costin as much as a car. for a good one anyway..
@@kewlbug I just don’t see a benefit in 4K at this moment. Mainly because so much of what my family watches is streamed and there isn’t much content in 4K for what we watch at this point in time.
@@ErinsAudioCorner I know you're into nostalgia. The biggest uptick for me is seeing all these older movies. Batman, Beetlejuice, Jaws, back to the future, etc.. all in super sharp 4k film scans. When some of my earliest memories are watching VHS of these on a tiny TV or on the TV with half the scenes cut for advertisement spots.
Sayin I totally get it with the cost thing tho. My system is all used Rti Polk and a refurb A2070. Got the mini DSP and REW tuning going though.
I'm not doing Atmos either, and it's mostly because it's a hassle. Hanging speakers from the ceiling is not something I want to even get into. So I'm 5.2 myself.
If you are into movies you are missing BIG time. Not that hard to place light speakers on the ceiling like Polk owm3 and you get to enjoy another level of immersion
Erin..you ruined cheap audio man!
Ruined how?
@@atticusrussell1225 ask the perpetrator
I don’t follow, either. I like Randy. Seems like a good dude. I’m missing something here.
czcams.com/video/U4RPUJpMGnA/video.html
I would say stop the channel, update the theater room and spend more time in there instead
Nah. I enjoy reviewing gear. I don’t do well doing nothing. I gotta be going. Just my nature.
