I was honestly surprised to like this episode that much. What a great man, into audio and video but using youthman deals all over. Enjoying his equipment to the fullest instead of keeping on focussing on upgrading. It might be an age related thing, from a consumer of equipment to a consumer of content and enjoying life. Wish him good luck learning to play instruments and achieve his life goals!

I love that about Don. 😀

This is honestly such an underrated set up. And it kind of inspires me for the future as to what I really wanna do with my living space. Being forced with constraints with certain room sizes not being ideal, your talk that you both gave has given me a lot of input as to what I wanna do in the future. I’m 32, so I know I’m still young in the whole home theater game, but making minor upgrades little by little, and especially watching videos like this really inspires me with excitement towards what my future set up could look like!

Can't go wrong with big Tektons. Eric is a really great speaker designer who happens to be a genius. Really liked this clip.

Another great video! Love this setup and I’m beyond curious how those speakers sound. They are so unique and really cool. And what a cool guy he is. So happy to see him just enjoy his passion.

Well thought out set up, I'm very impressed!

Oh man, I am in love with this man. Great man with lots of equipment with lot more knowledge than young guys. I really appreciate his passion over music.

Thank you for the kind words. You are correct I truly do enjoy the relationships and friendships I make along the way. It’s always great connecting with other passionate enthusiast

Don, great system! Just a thought have you tried telling the Anthem that there is no center channel and allowing it and the Tektons to create a phantom center. This should be especially effective for when it is just you seated center. Since you still have 2 spare profiles, if you like the results you can have a profile with the actual center and one with the phantom. I am pretty confident that the phantom center with those Tektons will be able to produce better results than the physical center for the MLP. The phantom image starts to breakdown as you move off center, thus why you may want to keep the physical center around for larger groups.

I enjoyed this video and I am so much like Don because I have 4 systems in our home and I am learning to play the guitar, bass , piano and organ with a full studio. I am going back to the vintage speakers as well I am restoring 6 DCM speakers from the mid 70s to 90s when Steve sold the company to MTX so I can relate or I’m just old. Haha

Great tour, nice to see another non-dedicated set up, My "media center" is in my Den and wife has allowed quite a bit of freedom. Don's got a complete "house of media". And I have some of those same Circuit City Infinity's (including the CC-1) in storage. Too bad I didn't take better care of the towers, actually tossed them about 6 months ago, it was my 3 generation back set up. I'm a couple of years behind Don, but I hope my passion (and hearing) hang on to enjoy the ride as much as he has.

Despite having my sofa against the wall, I use DML speakers as surround back speakers (which I dun see in this setup) for my 7.2.5 setup. They do wonders. Should give it a try.

This was a really fun video. Although it's fun to see the high end dedicated rooms, I think the more 'down home' and DIY/budgeted the HT is, the more I enjoy the theater because I can relate to just about everything being discussed.

I have one of those dual 10 inch sony subs and for what it is and for the cost I say for the money it performs suprisingly well.

I am SO excited to watch this. I was going either JTR 212's or Tekton Moabs for my fronts. The JTR won, but I never got to listen to the Tektons, which fills my thoughts with should have, would have, could have.

Stand in the middle of your room and clap your hands loudly one time. If you hear a massive echo, then absolutely, your room needs acoustic treatment.

For Roon music storage I use an i3 Dell PC with 16 gigs of ram, 240 gig SSD for operating system and storing Metadata, 2 gig high speed hard disk for music storage. So far I have used 800 gig of storage. If the recording is something I play alot then it is stored in FLAC. For compilations, rarely played music i store them as a MP3. Although lossy it still sounds good and I can always pull the CD and rip in FLAC.

The M700 monoblocks are class H and barely get warm Although the Outlaws are class A/B they are mostly driving surrounds and Atmos that get much less use. I have checked them even during heavy usage and the heat is a non event.

Youthman, I may be crazy but I thought I read a couple of decades ago that strong base you can "feel in the chest" actually can mess with a heartbeat and should be avoided with a person with heart issues. Is that factual or was it just an urban legend? I trust your knowledge, so.....

Interesting that at the start of the video you felt it nessacary to mention the gentleman's age. Forgive me if I am wrong but you have not mentioned previous subjects ages before.

@Youthman

That is correct. The point of mentioning his age was you’re never too old to enjoy music and movies. I specifically asked him if I could share his age as he shared it with me during my visit. Near the end of the video he also shared that he’s been doing this longer than I have been alive which I think is absolutely phenomenal that his passion for home theater and music has been over 50 years. I wanted to celebrate that fact.
