I don't know why - but it was enjoyable watching someone else take the time to do the stuff we do at home when experimenting with new equipment, or configurations, or placement.... it is time consuming... but the chase is the best part - knowing there is a great payoff once completed. Fellow suffrage, LOL
Thanks for the feedback brother.
Hi Michael. I’ve been following you since you started producing your content. I absolutely love your channel. You’ve been doing wonderful things for the home theatre industry and I really do admire and love your passion because I feel the same way about home theater. Watching your videos is like hanging out with a good friend. Honestly, you have a genuine love for what you do and it comes across beautifully keep it up. Michael I look forward to each and everyone of your videos and can’t wait for your Arendal sound review
Thank you for the kind words, Dave. I try to be as personal as I can with my content let’s face it, I’m just a big kid playing with some cool toys and sharing my love and passion with the world. Appreciate you brother.
Michael what if you just left an AVR set up and ready to go so all you have to do is switch an hdmi cord, and plug in speaker wire?
Your thoughts are exactly how I feel about Michael and his content. Thanks for the kind and thoughtful commentary ❤
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 appreciate all the love and support.
I love how you can essentially pull out your equipment cabinet to access the wiring from behind. Very clever design, beautiful theater man. I love the wood all around!
Thank you Reese. That was my friends idea who built the cabinet for me. I told him the only two things I wanted to make sure was that I had easy access behind my screen and easy access behind my equipment.
Michael I like the uncut, unedited live stream feel of the video. I like you giving this a try, fun to watch.
Thank you kindly Justin. Honestly I had a lot of reservations in posting it but I wanna step outside my comfort zone and try some new things. I never want my channel to become stale or even predictable. Let’s have some fun with it and see where it goes.
Michael this video was awesome It almost brings me back to the days when you first start doing this. I've been in the telecommunication industry for 30 years and it is always good to see homeowners play around with equipment and trying to figure out how to get it working right. You always bring a smile to the group and we enjoy watching your videos each and every day You put them out Don't stop keep pushing You have definitely help grow this passion we all call Home Theater. I wish I can get to your M-Wave shows maybe I can make it next year. Keep doing what you do and God bless you!!!
Wow, thank you for the kind words. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to share my passion for home theater with the world. We would love to have you join us for a MWAVE 2024.
I like the real time video, hope you will show how you calibrate the subs as well as the speakers, I think that would help a lot of viewers understand how to get more out of what they have and maybe put a big smile on their face after doing it themselves
Thank you for the feedback Jeff.
One theater for entertainment and another theater for testing gear. In your next house for sure ❤❤
That or either a Studio where I film and review gear.
It is a lot of work just to do a simple speaker swap. My HT is in a nearly constant state of fiddling so I can relate to what you're going through. Whoever invented banana plugs deserves to be in the Youthman Reviews Hall of Fame!
I literally could not do my channel without banana plugs. Such a timesaver and convenience.
Banana plugs are much better then wire itself but honestly, it should be speak on on All components
Why speakon? Typically Neutrik speakON connections are used in pro audio systems. Most home theater speakers and amps will accept bare wire, spades, or banana plugs. You would need to have a speakON adapter for each cable end (which would not be ideal at all).
@@Youthman i have diy speakers and put speak on on everything. My amps all have speak on out, or pheonix. But speakon is the easiest to securely Insert. Can do it blind from the Front with my Hand reeaching behind the speaker in most cases.
If everything would be speak on it would simply be the best way to connect speakers imo. Also speak on can be 4 pin or even more. So my active speakers that need multiple cables can be all in 1 speak on connector. No Chance of Sending woofer Signal to the tweeters etc pp.
The application for speakON would be very specific, and very small in the home theater community. But if it works for your set up, that’s great but it’s certainly not for the majority of people.
I have a new level of respect and appreciation for what you’re doing as a content creator. Great video. A lot of work.
Thank you Victor. I love what I do. But it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have its challenges.
Looking forward to the review. I just ordered the 1723 Centre channel, and will try and get the towers before the price increase. It's overkill for my lounge but I hope its a big improvement on my KEF Q series.
Although it's a lot of hard work, I wish I had a job like yours. Keep grinding, Michael! The community appreciates the great content. Good stuff.
Thank you I absolutely love what I do! It will just be nice one day to have a dedicated space to review without having to disconnect my personal gear every single time.
can u do a comparison between these and klipsch rf-7 III? really stuck on which one to buy.. love the videos!
Thank you kindly. I’m very well could do that once I’m done with the review. I also have the Martin Logan F200’s I could throw in the mix as well.
@@Youthman that would be awesome! thank u
I don't think any review (speaking generally) stands on its own. Every piece of gear is only as good as the other piece of gear that is the reference point in its class.
The reference is generally a similar price point and class, like a $1500 floor standing speaker compared to another $1500 floor standing speaker.
Different prices but I still consider these mid-tier category. Not budget, but also not high end either. Plus they all have similar size cabinets and drivers. Might be worth comparing. Who knows.
Arendal 1723 - $3,699 pair
Klipsch RF7 III - $4,400 pair
MartinLogan F200 - $5,500 pair
Awesome@@Youthman , really looking forward for this shootout. I also stuck between Klipch rf7 iii vs Arendal 1723
Speaker review idea/solution:
Buy a Denon AVR-X8500H or AVR-A1H. This will be your dedicated receiver for reviewing speakers.
Trick - Place the AVR in your cabinet with the back of the unit facing the front. This way, you can quickly hook up speaker wires.
There is space in your cabinet to accomplish this.
Having an extra AVR’s turned around backwards is not a bad idea. But then you also will have the issue of needing to get HDMI to the Projector, connecting sources that I would need to disconnect from my main system and then connect to the separate AVR.
Apart from having an entirely separate system in the room, or having a separate room with an entirely different system, I’m not sure there’s a great solution.
@@Youthman For the HDMI issue, you can use an HDMI switch with a minimum of 4 inputs and 2 outputs.
Both your processor and the new AVR will connect to the switch inputs. The Switch output will connect to the Projector (using your existing cable).
Switching from Processor to AVR and back can be programmed via the Harmony remote.
No worries on forgetting to put the screen down first. I noticed it but it made me think of countless goofs I’ve had to redo. I’m such a rookie by comparison but appreciate seeing others be real vs always edited and flawless. It really helps by giving us pointers as to doing stuff.
The video was great.
My basement is unfinished and a work in progress. One day in a few years you could come to Wisconsin for a home theater tour if you wanted to do a series on people that have imperfect rooms and used equipment collections based on budget. Example I just entered the realm of separates with a used Marantz av 7705 and two Marantz amps. I’m having fun and will keep watching your videos
Thank you for the kind words Brian. I agree, it’s easy to look at social media and think everyone has it all together but we have to realize that the vastAq show you only their best side, their best photos, and their best edited videos. But people relate to imperfection.
Hey Michael 😊
This format is A-OK Michael - love hearing your thought process and you "engineering" the connections of the speakers under test. - Great vid! - Cheers!
Thank you Garry.
always love your content....keep it up....God bless
Thank you so much for the kind words
lovd videos like that so much
more more more!
(but, with REW on the screen, plz)
looking forward to your tests
Nice cabinet to hold all the electronics. Did you install a computer fan (120mm) to keep things cool?
No there’s plenty of space under the cabinet for the heat to move away from the components.
You know you do this often enough. Have you considered making yourself a more accessible patch panel so you don't have to get down to your amp every time or even a "review" amp like a 2nd av7706 in the space. Dedicated for reviewing speakers so you don't have to disconnect your stuff every time?
It absolutely has crossed my mind. There are several issues though in my current space.
1) I'm almost out of space in my cabinet. I have one spot (far right) that I can add a component.
2) Even if I had a second AV7706, I would need another dedicated amplifier for reviews (again, where would I put it).
I'm not sure there is a good solution other than how I've been doing it over the past 5 years. My "Dream Big" is to eventually move to a new home which I can have a dedicated space to review products or I lease a studio that I can use to review gear. Unfortunately, the amount I make on each review video from Adsense does not justify leasing a Studio each month.
I like it 👍 I wish you had another camera in the back to watch what you were doing! Great content 👍
Someone else mentioned that on Patreon. Next time I do something like that, I’ll bring my GoPro in there. It has a wide enough and go to capture everything.
Looking forward to the Arendal review. Would love to hear those someday.
Just got an email, Arendal is raising prices at the end of November. If you are on the fence, something to think about.
Thanks for the heads up Will. I just shared it with the community.
@youthman Hi I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I currently have 8000f towers and 504c centre from klipsch paired with svs pb3000 sub. I am looking to either add and upgrade my speakers to Arendal 1723 Thx or Klipsch rf7iii out of the 2 which do you prefer. I'm 80% movies and 20% music. I listen at about 60-65db depending on content and 75db reference for occasional demo of a scene. My room is 15ft x 15ft x 8ft ceiling. What would you recommend
Very nice format video. I hear & feel all the sentiments in this dialogue. Kudos for opening up to change and style to better suit your flow.. ( or maybe just take it more easy? )
Overthinking is definitely a flaw of mine .. thinking / analyzing / ADHD / etc... It's a mess I always struggle with.
Looking forward to the Arendal review and scheduled event .. I hope I can join ..but I have Toronto Audiofest to shoot and cover all weekend.
Enjoy .. and keep up the Good Good .
Thank you for sharing and for the kind words. I shared this video yesterday with my Patrons and asked for their feedback and whether they thought I should post it on CZcams.
I shared also my struggle with over thinking, analyzing, and my own ADD struggles and how that often paralyzes me from making content because I don’t want to make the wrong decision on how I should film or structure of the video.
Hope you enjoy the Toronto Audiofest. That’s awesome that you have one near you.
Time to invest in two patch bays. One for video, one for audio! 😊
Great video Youthman. I can't wait for your review. I currently have 6 Ultra Toweres in my setup, and I'm interested in switching out my entire SVS system for these 1723 thx towers and the 1723 thx center.
You should put towers and subs on carpet sliders when reviewing them. That’s what z-reviews does for easily moving them around and placement.
Typically I don’t use spikes but had installed them during the unboxing and never took them off 🤣
Hi Michael, just a thought, it might be an ideal if you get some speaker junction boxes, so you don’t need to keep connecting in speaker wires, when you’re reviewing speakers.
Definitely a possibility, but I'm almost out of space in my cabinet. If we ever move, I'm definitely going to install a massive rack.
@@Youthman haha yea you could do. I brought one earlier this year. I’m 6’2.5” tall and my rack is 6’11”, that’s including the castors.
That would be amazing.
@Youthman
Was there ever a review on the Arendals? How do they compare to your JTR setup? I'm very interested to hear your opinion and thought! Thanks!
I was hoping to begin working on the review earlier this week, but I’ve been dealing with kidney stones. I was completely useless yesterday.
I got up early to begin working on it today. Should be finished by Sunday. They won’t compare to JTR. These are more comparable to say the Klipsch RF7 III or Martin Logan F200’s.
@@Youthman
No problem! I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss it. I hope you are feeling better. Thank you for all your content. I'm very close on pulling the trigger on a full JTR setup. I was considering the Arendals (which is the reason I asked about the status of your video), but I think the JTR's will be a better fit. Take care!
Thank you sir feeling much better today. Last three days dealing with kidney stones wasn’t fun. JTR are on a completely different level, especially the subwoofers. Being able to hit 5Hz at 115dB in my room is no easy feat.
Cable management 😮 now there's a whole video.
A speaker selecting patch bay is what you are need of for MUCH easier speaker setup and selection.
That could be a decent solution. Appreciate the suggestion.
I love this style of video. Thanks Michael. Looking forward to more content.
Thank you Jason for the feedback. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how it would be received. Seems like people are enjoying it so I’ll give it another shot in future videos.
Great Video, love the behind the scenes. Thanks for all you do!!!
Glad you enjoyed the video
Cant wait for the review. I'm subscribed and I still keep checking the channel to make sure I haven't missed it.
Thank you, kindly. I got behind on reviews due to the five events that I attended since July.
@@Youthman Five events full of great content. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, kindly. I love going to the woman sharing those with everyone.
much appreciated, but I did use fast forward 😉
I use 2X all the time. Your brain can still comprehend what is being said and you are twice as efficient with your time.
I like my 1723’s with extreme toe-in. Left speaker pointing at right seat and vis versa. Try it out
I definitely will. Every speaker seems to have a different amount of toe in to get great imaging. Some require very little or any toe in.
Hi Mike,
Outstanding Video!!! Listen Sir😉,
Is your MadVR connected to your Logitech Harmony remote to turn on when you turn on your JVC Projector? I have the same one but I am trying to figure out how to turn the MADVR on without physically pressing the button on every time. Once again, Truly appreciate you and your CZcams content.
Thank you for the feedback. I’m glad you like the style of video. I just wanted to try something new and get out of my comfort zone to see if it would be something people would enjoy.
The madVR Envy’s either has to stay on all the time, or you have to manually push the power button to turn it on/off.
@@Youthman Thank You Kindly Mike.
I was hoping for a way around that😉. Thanks
those are some really nice speakers...
Thank you for sharing this. I have a new appreciation for you and the content you create.
Thank you Victor. Honestly, I had doubts if anybody would enjoy this type of video but just wanted to step outside of my box in my comfort zone and try something different. Keep it fresh. I appreciate the input.
@@Youthman you are a phenomenal job. Keep up the great work.
Love it!
Smh, this AWEsome!!!But i'll take those JTR's back there. They Big without being Crazy.. But those Arendal's will do there best - lol
I like it. It's nice to see the work involved in doing a review. I am REALLY looking forward to the review, because I'm trying to decide between RTJ 210RM and the 1723s for LCR. Are the RTJs worth the extra $3000? I hope you'll be able to help me decide. :)
Thank you for the feedback. I believe you mean JTR 210RM. RTJ and JTR are owned by Jeff Permanian. But RTJ has different models and is twice more expensive as RTJ.
@@Youthman yes, you are correct. That's what I meant. I found a few guys near me on AVS forum who have JTR, so I might meet up with them and hear for myself. But I'm still looking forward to your opinion :)
I always recommend trying to listen a Demos speakers for yourself when possible. That’s great you’ll get to hear them in person to see if they’re a good fit for what your ears like.
Waiting for part 2. Video was great the real struggle of a setup 😅
I think we all go through some of the same struggles in our Home Theaters. It's nice to know I'm not alone. LOL
What happened to the Martin Logan full review?
It's still int he cue as well. I got BURIED from the 5 events that I attended (MWAVE, Audio Advice Live, Atlanta Home Theater, Scott Newby's event and CEDIA). Some of those events I filmed and edited 10 - 14 videos each. Plus I've been spending a lot of time working on MWAVE 2024. Needless to say, I'm WAY behind on my reviews. Just trying to work through them as best as I can.
You need a patch panel for your speaker connections. Then all you need to do is unplug yours from the front of inside the cabinet and plug in the new gear.
That would work for speakers. What about AVR’s, Processors, subwoofers and amplifiers?
please compare arendal to JTR give u have both sets in room
I can certainly share my thoughts but it’s still a bit different simply because I won’t be listening to them in the same location.
Enjoy your very informative and professional education on audio. Have you considered doing analysis on audyssey multeq X?
Thank you for the kind words Collin. I have not tried multeq X yet, so that may be a while before I free up some time to vote to learning it.
Sounds cool it will be fun ❤
great job lets go
You have a difficult situation ahead of you, trying to complement the Arendal 1723 speakers when you have become used to your JTR setup. LOL, Good Luck.
It actually is easier than you think. Anytime I review a product, I review it based on its own merits. For example, it would not be fair for me to compare every ultra short throw projector that I have reviewed with my JVC NZ8. So I simply share from a consumers perspective what I like and what I dislike about a particular product. Sometimes I will do side-by-side comparisons between one product and another, especially if they’re in the same price point.
Are those speakers JTR?
Yes, behind my screen. I have a 7.2.4 JTR system.
Here are my surrounds - czcams.com/video/C22TupIi3-o/video.htmlsi=UrUR0P10_Oa6ESLa
If I had filmed a video of myself moving my equipment around I would have ti heavily edit that video before I could post it 😅
Just wanted to keep it raw, unfiltered. Stepping outside of my comfort zone
Look forward to your review.
Thanks!
Interesting something different I like it
Thank you Robert. My actual review videos will remain more “polished” but I will begin to incorporate more of these candid, unscripted, let’s hang out together type videos that lead up to the review.
you really need a dedicated studio for reviews.
It’s definitely on my vision board.
Time to find a better way to work on your equipment. All that crawling and weird bending won't work forever. I just hate to see you hurt yourself. I am a fan and enjoy your videos. 👍😎
Appreciate it, Dan. It has worked well for the past five years, but you’re right, I need to begin to look for a solution to have a separate room or may be a Studio for Review units. Growing pains is a good thing.
I can see being a reviewer awesome because you get new cool products to review, but I can also see this being a pain in the ass to have to constantly install and remove speakers/amps etc. A gift and a curse, but it beats having to punch a clock every day, brother!
I Ken career, there are pros and cons. Overall, I absolutely love it. I get to share my passion for Home Theater with the world in hopes of inspiring others.
I dont know how you guys on YT do it, your room looks bigger than mine but its not, my room is 18x25 and some how looks way smaller...
It’s likely due to the wide angle lens. I film with a Canon 15-35mm 2.8 lens.
Reviewing speakers is a lot of work!
This is true. But that can be said of most jobs. It just “comes with the territory”.
Note to self, have a door from the next room to access behind the screen.
That’s a great idea. In my current Theater Room, I have three exterior walls, so that wouldn’t work for me.
Αν δεν τα βάλεις να τα ακούσουμε μόνος σου τα λες!!!
I'm used Google to translate, but I'm not sure what you mean.
Nope . I prefer an edited video with more useful information.
Don’t worry, there will be plenty of both. Just trying to offer some variety. I don’t want my channel to ever become stale or predictable, stepping outside the box trying some new things.
Also, the stats of the video confirm the majority of my audience are enjoying it. The video is ranked 3rd out the past 10 videos that I have made.
@Youthman I see what you do behind the scenes. If I can make a couple suggestions most likely you already know. Get yourself a buddy. They can help you run wire and move speakers. When it comes to your wires I will already preset them up before the next video. So it won't be too much on you to run wires. I would roll up the wires that's going to be for review. And leave them behind the case. You have carpet so you can hide your subwoofer wires and leave them behind or on the side of your room. I love the concept that you bring to us. But also I don't want you to kill yourself. You can do it right but I don't want you to kill yourself . Get yourself a buddy that's interested in the Hobby as well that lives close. Keep up the good work, and if you do choose to do it like this again please. make sure you have a buddy.. don't forget Michael we are not getting Young anymore.
Thank you for the suggestions Christopher. Honestly I have been doing it this way for five years. Nothing wrong with it, it just takes time if I have something really heavy that I can’t carry myself, then I call somebody over to help me like when I have theater chairs or massive Subwoofers that weigh over 200 pounds.
@@Youthman shoot get some dollies or hand trucks. That me man . I maybe a lurker but alot of people like seeing other ppl stress out over setting ups. I enjoy what you do no matter if you look like Hulk Hogan or body slamming like Andre the giant. I still enjoy your content no matter what you do and how you do it. From me talking on and off to you like I get a lot of my input and stuff from you and a couple other creators on this youtube. I enjoy the setups I enjoyed the knowledge that's what put me where I'm at now.
I have a small handtruck that I used to bring Subwoofers and Speakers and amplifiers from the garage into the theater room. Sliding them around the room is easy.
@@Youthman okay @youthman . Always have fun ! I remember you saying that this is a job instead of fun. Do your best to keep it fun ! Because this hobby is fun to experiment with.
This is absolutely my job. But I absolutely love my job. 😀 i’m a firm believer. If you don’t love your job, find a new one.
WOW! What an absolute pain in the neck you go through every time you want to do a review. I would hate to have to do this with all my gear all the time. You probably don't get enough credit.
One day I want to have a separate space just for reviews so that my system can always be setup to enjoy.
And one day I want to have a separate space just for my home theater and get all the speakers out of the living room. Wife is making noises of using the tv speaker and getting rid of the speakers. Not to mention I ruined our popcorn ceiling installing two atmos speakers. Surprised she hasn't dumped me yet. @@Youthman
Just blame it on me like everyone else does 🤣
@@Youthman haha! Done!
Great, now your wife is among the many who hate me 😆😆😆
Please compare these to the Rp8000f ii and the RF-7 iii
I no longer have the RP-8000F II in for review. I can tell you the RF7 III are a significant improvement over the RP-8000F II so no need to compare the Arendal 1723 to the RP-8000F II.
Yeah, a shed is another solution. Granted another expense, but it's a dedicated space.
I have to get Jessica a pool before I build a shed 🤣
