I have to say that this is a really cool room and he did a great job of making it look and work really well for a home theater setup and I wouldn’t remove the posters from the room because they are a part of his journey to make the space feel more like a theater. Great job Chris and thank you for sharing.
Thank you, maybe some upgrade videos in the future.
Absolutely love this room! What a great use of space and I can tell he enjoys it.
The hinges for the screen is a brilliant hack! I have a pull-down screen Infront of my TV which is ok but would love to make myself a ridged screen and until now I couldn't think of a way to do it. So glad the CZcams algorithm sent me to your channel today! 👍🍺🍺😎
Thanks for watching! Glad my video is pushing to new people
Really cool use of a small space. For the acoustic treatment, you can have the best of both worlds and build your own panels and print movie posters on fabric to cover them! Treating the sidewalls would probably be a significant improvement in this size of room.
Pound for pound a very good system.
Thx , just wanna do a couple improvements.
Love the room, great job. With how good he is at DYI, make your own panels with movie poster art work. Tons of videos on how to get the art work ordered. I use accessories for less to save money on my equipment. Their refurbished equipment is great and comes in looking like new. Again love the room🙂
That’s a nice room, great example of being creative with space.
I was waiting patiently for this video. Chris you knock this out of the park. Nice woodwork. The TV setup was great and the backlighting is just right. I am a huge Star Wars fan. Yes I saw the original movie 5 times in the theater. Hopefully we will see another video after some of your upgrades.
Thx for the compliment, yeah hopefully I can get Kyle to come back and do an update video.
Room is awesome
As long as you are happy!!!!
Fantastic! I love it.
Awesome room ! Great commentary 😀 🏆
Great use of a small space. Good work
Love his set up great video 👍👍👍
I wouldn't change it. Awesome job on the flip down screen!
Ayyyyy love that buckeye blanket!! OH-
Oh,keep the posters,definitely!
Probably will
First off! Amazing room Chris !! Keep the posters personally. Once you enjoy the sound that’s all that matters. If you want to add more panels then absolutely but the room looks great !!!
I would keep the posters. He did a amazing job with the space he had to work with. He’s very talented with woodworking. Great job 👍🎬🍿🎥📀📽
Great job with the room. Looks awesome . I say keep the posters you could possibly add some acoustic treatment to the ceiling that may help a little.
Thx for the compliment I really appreciate it.
You built a great hometheater out of a small space bro 👍💯 cool😊
Couple things I think to make it a bit more theater like. First remove the fridge, glass hanger, shelf.... everything from the front wall. I would lower the proj screen to fit evenly on the wall and it would have to sit a bit under the lowered side of the ceiling. Build a false back wall to get the speakers behind the screen and upgrade to better floor speakers .. all 3.. to get better sound and dynamics. Move the fridge and glasses to the back wall. then evenly spread the subs against the wall . That alone I feel would make a major difference
amazing work!! 💙
Thx I appreciate the compliment
Very clean, nicely done.
Def make your own acoustic panels instead of posters, you can use the same images even.
Also, raise the rear channels above the headrests of your seats so you can hear them!
Maybe move 1 of the 3 subs to the back of the room?
Finally, ditch the projector, you don't have a big enough room, instead sell it and the TV and get a 77 or 83" OLED (and an HDMI earc splitter, keep the old projector, but still get surround from your xbox!)
:)
Well done 👏🏼 👍🏼 Chris and thank you Kpaceguy for the demo 👍🏼 from England 🏴
Thanks for watching !
@@Kpaceguy You’re welcome 🏴
Hey great job on the room space!! He should use a fiber optic cable from the tv to the receiver since the Xbox is connected to the tv by the hdmi arc, so he can get the sound out to the speakers! That is what I had to do, I have an older denon receiver and it works great!!!
Great room. The TV behind the screen on the hinge blew me away. I would definitely replace the posters with acoustic panels it would beyond improve his sound especially the muddy mid range. Some companies sell the same posters as custom face acoustic panels. Also try putting one of the subs behind the chairs. My near field sub took my movie watching experience to the next level. Overall, what a dope room.
Thx, I think I'm going to try and put one of the subs behind the chair once I move the surround speakers off the stands and mount them on the wall to make some room.
I used to have mirror on my rear wall within my small 13 x 11.5 ft living room and after experimenting by placing a blanket on top of it. Got rid of the rear reflections but the depth within my 2-ch stereo soundstage had gone! Sorted both problems out by purchasing gik absorption/diffusion acoustic panel. 🥳
great space
small room but very nice home theater, congratulations,
11:28 Great video and what an excellent use of a smaller room turned into a cool, cozy home theatre. My makeshift home theatre/media room is probably around the same size.
I'd keep the posters on the wall for sure instead of sound treatment panels which have no character compared to cool repro or original movie posters to set the mood properly. :)
Thx, yeah I think I'll stick with the posters.
i see what your saying but you will loose that cinema sound, i would add panels and add soft dim wall lamps, sound first in my opinion. posters are a ''cosmetic''.
@@nobaccos If there were smaller sound treatment panels that could be placed between the posters or on other areas of the walls, that would be fine (since panels are so plain and ugly compared to posters as well as other personal decorative touches) and in any case, I don't have any sound treatments on my home theatre walls; just posters, furniture, carpeting on the floor, a big comfy fabric couch, etc. and I have a blast watching movies or listening to music and not once have I thought to myself, "If only I had added panels to make the sound better." I'm sure the sound would be improved, but I couldn't be bothered. :)
You can use the same exact prints, on DIY acoustic panels, so you get the best of both worlds...movie posters, plus great sound!@@chrisway8672
BONUS, the acoustic panel fabric won't add reflections from the screen like the plastic over those posters does.
Freakin dope
Do posters that are acoustic panels
Yeahh Chris you did a great job. #1, i have mad respect for someone who takes a small space and makes it work into a home theater system. #2, i can relate - i also did a tv behind my projection screen for gaming. Its a great decision. My only suggestion, consider going atmos for your movies. I definately think it is worth it. I hope the receiver you get has preouts so you can do a 5.2.4. Also consider bass shakers bro.
Im also a big fan of showing your personality through memorabilia. A budget home theater with personalized decor is always the most interesting. So ya, I'd do the posters instead of sound treatment.
Thx for the compliment, and yeah I wanna do atmos, hopefully with the new receiver I can get at least 2 maybe 4
Nice setup ⭐️
Thx, for the compliment
Combination of panels and posters, have them alternating. That tiny room would significantly benefit from sealed subs, he would get a ton of room gain and likely get flat extension down to 10hz with a minimal investment IMO. At some point he should make the switch to sealed for that reason.
i see that. i have two monitor audio silver g6 sw12 subs 'sealed' and i see what your saying plus he has 3 so the bass weight would be on point 👍
he's got 3 12 inch subs , i don't think he needs room gain
@@LarryGivens vented subs don't benefit as much from room gain compared to sealed subs , sealed subs will give him a MASSIVE boost in extension. He could easily achieve 7-9hz Flat without spending a ton of money.
Hi! Love the theater!
There's a company that makes sound diffusing panels that are movie posters.
beautiful home theater room 😉👍
Thank you.
I would recommend the inoko 7100 receiver which is a 9.2 Channel receiver and it has an add-on to select Klipsch speakers which I own the Premier sound excellent
Firstly the flip up fixed screen is ingenious and creative considering the space he is working with. Secondly with size of the room posters are just the way to go gives the room personality and besides how much sound is he really losing all things considered.
I'm just starting to build my dedicated home theater and my plan was to start with some Klipsch R-51s then save up for some tower R-620Fs later, it never occurred to me that maybe I could go with R-41 as surrounds wondering how they sounded you never gave us a sound demo, could you discribe the sound combo? My room might be slightly bigger but not by much although I'm balling on a budget sooo yeah 😁
Thanks Great setup
Yeah we forgot to do the demo
Was waiting for this one
Thx
@@chrisway8672 I like your setup do you plan to go with a 5.3.4 dolby atmos system because that room can do 4 heights.
And the amp I recommend you buy is a Yamaha or onkyo since they pair well with those speakers if you want a more neutral sound
I would love to do heights, I was asking Kyle about doing side heights or ceiling. On the amp I will definitely look at the onkyo because I'm considering going with either the tx-nr6100 for the price or the tx-rz50 because I could use amps with it in the future. Just need to decide if I wanna pay the $1000 price difference. Lol
@@chrisway8672 definitely go with onkyo I own a TX-NR686 model and it’s discontinued because I gotten it when it first came out. Had it since 2017. Has a beautiful sound signature towards it. And I heard onkyo is amazing with Klipsch speakers.
And the next upgrade I will do the onkyo RZ50 since there amps last for a long time. And I haven’t had to use the warranty ones on my onkyo. And the customer service is pretty good
Yeah I think I'm sold on the onkyo, and I'm pretty sure the new onkyo avr have a set up menu for klipsch speaker, so when ur setting it up u can enter ur speaker model in to get the right calibration.
This just gave me a really good idea for a non-dedicated theater room. Is there a video of how the hinge for the projector screen was made?
No
Alternate pictures with acoustic panels and see what it does for the sound but the pictures are a nice touch.
You can buy an amazing 98” TV with just 4k and 2.5k ❤ if you wait for the right time
with the speakers on top of the cabinet and the subs right below it.. do you have rattling issues? I had some cabinets that shake and rattle during the low rumble in action sequences.. i had a similar setup as this.. so im curious.. Getting everything off the cabinet and using speaker stands helped tremendously for me.
This is a Dope room man gut great job man if you would do something different In your room what would it be ?
I would move the wine rack and the fridge I would have the front wall dedicated to the front stage. I would take most posters off the wall and put acoustic panels.
i just seen this video, you can add a surround back dipole rear speaker. get that sound right and what you may find is that ' that' tv may well be quite perfect if not as cosy, and if it is for you then you can add some top surround in ceiling speakers. however you have to remember that denon receivers are more on the bass end. for me have a listen to maybe a yamahar receiver for clearer high's, add some aqustic panels, kill them reflections. surround back speakers are night and day to a cinema rooms and you actualy have space for one. that room has great potential.
Thx for the advice, upgrades are coming
I have a small room like this myself, but I use a 85in TV and have the absolutely over kill Klipsch THX ultra2 system with a Denon 4700.
My wife suggested using a projector because we have big TV in ever other room. I have a 75 in in the living room.
If there were smaller sound treatment panels that could be placed between the posters or on other areas of the walls that didn't detract from the room's appearance, that would be fine (since panels are often so plain and ugly compared to posters as well as other personal decorative touches) and in any case, I don't have any sound treatments on my home theatre walls; just posters, furniture, carpeting on the floor, a big comfy fabric-covered couch, etc. and I have a blast watching movies or listening to music and not once have I thought to myself, "If only I had added panels to make the sound better." I'm sure the sound would be improved, but I haven't bothered yet.
I never had any complaints from my girlfriend, family members, or friends enjoying movies with me. :)
I had a fridge before in my audio area and got rid of it as the light hum made me angry.
Great Room. No need to update your AVR or projector. Do invest in HDMI 2.1 audio splitter. This will allow you to connect your xbox etc to the TV and split the audio into a second hdmi that is 1.4 and connect that to your AVR. They are only $50. Home Theater Gamer did a video a few days ago about same product.
I have a dedicated theater room, but, I have posters rather than acoustic panels. Throughout my home theater, I have about 30 posters! If I had that space, I would measure diagonally, to see what size 4k tv I could put in that space, also put 1 sub behind his seating position. Just a thought.
Thx, the screen is 96 inches diagonally so I'm assuming 80 to 90 inch tv would fit, and I'm going to try the sub behind the chair
Great use of the space, I bet it sounds pretty good. Not sure why he couldn't have his TV and projector hooked up to the receiver? Also, he should consider mounting the surround speakers in the corner to get them above his chairs and away from the door when you walk in.
Receiver only has 1 hdmi out
good job but i would have just gone with an 86in TV and be done with it maybe put the projector somewhere else
Yeah, it was my wife's idea for the projector, she told me to do something different because I have big TV s in every room. Bedrooms I have 50, 55, 65 and living room 75
I wonder if u can make it a lot bigger like the whole wall to wall, mine is 170 in wall to wall and my center is on the floor angled up
Thats one Bitchen set up I would never would come out of there Lol I bet concerts sound awesome
what about the glare off the posters?
The only thing i would do..is riser up the surround sound speakers...
Yeah that's something I'm going to do. Probably get rid of the stands and mount them I little higher on the wall
@@chrisway8672 That's a good idea 😉
That's cool hiding the wires. My wires are exposed and haven't figured out how I want to hide them yet.
nice
Thx for the compliment
@@chrisway8672 hi Chris klipsch are great speakers good to see a small room turned into a theatre.
Not bad
That’s a well thought out design for the space. Well done. Chris, are you in Ohio?
Ky
@@Kpaceguy oh I saw the Ohio state blanket.
@@gregbartley2475 could be from there originally 🤷
Born and raised in Kentucky, my wife is from Ohio.
Ventilation for the av and the Xbox? That’s not good if there going to melt 😅
What is the name of the star wars art ?
Not sure what there called, my wife and I are truck driver and we used to deliver to Home Goods store and that's where I found them. They come with a decal that u put on the wall first then hang the head, they also light up.
How do I send a video to you off my own setup🤔
Either email Kpaceguy@gmail.com or Facebook Kyle Pace or Instagram whatever you can find
if sound matters remove some of the poster for panels
That has to be too much base for that wine rack . i have to remove a subwoofer from my system .
What are the dimensions of the room?
It very well could be a 12ft by 12ft room with 8ft ceilings but he'll have to verify it when he sees your comment.
I'm out of town at the moment, I'll b back home on Sunday and I can get u the measurements.
The room is 12x9 with the ceiling height of 7'9
Acoustic panels instead of the pictures
Maybe, we'll see what the future holds.
keep the posters
Probably will
No keep the posters
dudes room is tiny with a lot of stuff, im sure theres no need for acoustic treatment
There's a need in every room
How far away is the kitchen anyway? Remove the stupid bar and fridge. Put bigger projection screen. Lower it so it can fit, it is too high anyway.
