This guy should be a professor. He makes complicated things understandable.

That’s a very nice comment thank you. In a former life I actually taught advanced research designs to faculty. Much of what I did was learn new ways of researching complex topics using advanced statistical methods and then translate them into a kind of crash course for professors.

Good information

I only have surround in the back, one is in a corner, and I have them higher than the listening position. My room is just terribly planned out by who built the house. But with a little treatment and the processing on my Yamaha A4A it all works pretty well.

What I get from this video. Use monopole side surrounds. The zipping around sound created by bipolar is not the the content creators intention.

You and James should do a video on his theater. I only ever see tiny bits of his screen wall as backgrounds of his speaker photographs.

I can ask if he would want to. I get the impression he isn’t necessarily interested in putting it out there.

Am I actually loosing much by not having back surrounds? Due to my room I cant place my sofa far away from my back wall (only about 2 ft). Did alread treat my back wall with absorbers to remedy the negative effects but back surrounds are not viable.

Hi Christian, short answer is no. It’s not a huge loss. In fact better to not have them if you would sit too close.

What do you think about Kef T series for a small 10x12 room? Are they good quality speakers?

Would Arendal 1961 be a better choice?

@@tazoriginal hi Taz. Totally different speakers. Kef makes great speakers and their Q and R series are good for the money. But the T series is a problem solver product. It’s a low profile speaker and it’s output is compromised. So to save room it’s great. However the performance isn’t as good as the full sized products. A Kef In-wall or Q/R series is going to be better. The Arendal are better than the T series but more expensive and substantially larger. A Q550 would be more comparable to the Arendal. Arendal is a great value.

Well the way I look at it, I didn't build a house with a dedicated home theater, I built a theater with a dedicated living space;-) Even so, it still doesn't have perfect ratios.

It’s fairly rare that anyone can design the theater space down to the stud placement with infinite flexibility. Typically we are stuck dealing with what we have.

Thanks for the video. It would be nice if he made a video of his room and that people could perfectly see the cave effect of it with a 1 and a half second RT60 that comments. And that the listening point is quite close. Imagine having it further away, where in a simple mobile recording you can perfectly hear the difference between a closer and more distant listening point. Something that later when seeing the ETC with REW is seen perfectly. written with translator Greetings

I am not sure I fully understand what you are getting at. This was a video to share what’s possible. I’ve done videos in my family room. You want to see that specially?

Do you listen to your videos after they have posted? Your intro is loud and then you're whispering.

My wife edited it and posted it while I was at a press event and I didn’t have the ability to check. The sound needed to be normalized. I don’t know what happened exactly but I will start paying more attention to this. I do apologize.
