If anything, I want this video to demonstrate that you really shouldn't let too many things deter you from pursuing higher-quality audio.

Congrats on the channel and sharing your Home Theater Journey!
Thanks for checking out the channel! Truly means more than you think.
Congratulations 🎊 on the channel. Have Kef too, similar to what u have
Great story. My brother… you would love Atmos. It’s similar to going from 2.1 to 5.1. Better than 7.1!
Nice! Way to go!
looks great man
Thanks! Plenty more to come on the channel.
Nice video,really like your chosen gear. I'm doing all SVS 5.2.2 Prime center and mains with satellites for atmos and surrounds. Dual PB1000s 65" 4k TV
Nice sleek setup
Good for you. My own small room home theater consists of 4 LS 50 Metas plus a Kef HTC 3001 SE Center, an eight channel USB DAC (Octo Research DAC 8 Pro), various power amps (Purifi Eigentact, Behringer A500, Aiyima A07), two SVS SB 2000s, a Home theater fanless PC running JRiver with Dirac DLBC, a LG C21OLED 55", two headphones (Audeze LCD X (2021), Sennheiser HD 800 SD), a Smyth Research A16 speaker virtualizing surround sound over headphones processor, a Subpac S2 Tactile Subwoofer, and a Topping A70 Pro headphone amp.
Yes, high quality home theater is possible even in a dinky room.
77 inch s89c.
Try and get that before it all runs out.
B3 was at 1896$...
Samsung s89c is 1699$ and its in another league of its own.
Buckeye is a good choice. Its an endgame amp.
And then get an AVR with dirac. Theyre going to have atmos, you dont have to use it, but dirac will be game changer
Deep bass for home theater can't be understated. You're kind of limited in an apartment , though. I'm running two Full Marty cabs from GSG with Dayton 1,000W RMS 18's on a Crown XLi 3500. I have two Stereo Integrity HST-18's waiting cabs and a Speaker Power 8KW amp. Deep bass into the subsonic range really makes a difference for movies.
No doubt! I know I don't get close to other dedicated systems in that regard. I'm sure my extension probably doesn't go too much lower than 24hz in this room. Hopefully that can be up at some point when I have more room. Probably like dual 16's or somethin.
Top notch Hi Fi :)
Adding a stereo amp with av bypass to the front left and right av receivers speaker preouts, for better more enjoyable 2ch music playback. Then a emotiva basx A3 3ch power amp to the marantz cinema 70s centre and surround speaker av receivers preouts, makes a difference, takes less strain of the av receiver
Thanks for checking out the video! I'm gonna be looking into external amplification once I move. Later on in the video I explain why I'm likely gonna be putting my LCR on a Buckeye 3ch, and then upgrade to 7.1 and put the 4 surrounds on the marantz until I can get a 4ch Buckeye. At least that's the road map for now lol. Always subject to change isn't it?
Here am I worried about Samsung q990c for apartment I guess I have to look for at neighbors too
For atmos in my apartment I used Polk OWM-3 and used 3m command strips to stick them to my ceiling. They come over without peeling the paint or drywall IF you follow their instructions and remove them properly. That being said, atmos wasn't that big of a deal for me. I can take it or leave it.
I know exactly what you mean about wanting to get into a rental house. I have 3 subs in my apartment and I have gotten 2 complaints this month.
My journey strted in 2003 with philips 5.1 nd a dvd player
Man those small little home theater kits turned us all into menaces huh? I know many got sold to normal people who didn't yearn for anything more, but for many of us, it was a kick off to something so much crazier.
nice setup! what is the name of the app you use to play your ripped movies?
I use Infuse on Apple TV!
Dad got it right with the Sony TV. You call your Apartment your own. Just dont nail anything to the walls and keep it down!! To each his own. Enjoy your shit
Got to go duder. Listened way to too much.
Next time buy used. You won't be buying KEF.
i wish...i have dual pb1000 pros and i can't do anything with them. neighbors ughhh
I would bring the centre speaker up to head height when you're sitting down. It would sound a lot better. Anyway all the best.
Plus, bringing the centre channel out in the open allows for virtual effects to be portrayed into the environment (room)
No issues with the neighbors?
Nope! I've asked many of them in passing and they said they hardly hear anything. I'm watching my movies at like -12 unless it's a really quiet mix. Even flirting with reference in this room gets pretty annoying. The loudest I ever pushed it was for this video to make the excursion look cool haha.
WHATS BEST SVS OR KLISCHP?
SVS
It's not a better or worse, it's more a preference...... listen to both and decide on your own
