Ugh 😑 my plan to go separates was for next year. But now I’m not sure I can wait 😢. Got my rack put together last night. It was pretty simple. Mine was very well packed and no damage on any panel. I had one small scratch and one bad M8 screw. It was one of those Philip head screws, had no star 🥴.... later this afternoon I’ll start unplugging and managing all my equipment into the new rack.....Thanks for doin this video series. I’ve been putting off the rack route for 6 months. I’m glad I finally got some motivation to get this done.
Awesome video man! I haven’t watched the youthman video that you were talking, but I have demoed that ready player one scene many times and I heard exactly what you were describing! It was like watching a whole new scene. I even got more action out of my rears on the coin part that I had never heard before
First you got me into the slippery slope of cigars, and now I find myself reading and learning about TRUE home theater. Damn you man :) Here's to countless hours of forum readings! HA HA
Haven't seen you this blown away since you first heard the LSIM speakers. You have my attention and my Yamaha 2080 may be up for sale if your full review of the JBL goes the way I think it will. Thanks for the heads up on this.
@@COGuyStuff Wonder if receiver is just as good.I would have to buy a 6 channel amp to go with the 55 since I already own a 5 channel Parasound Amp and my system is a 7.2.4 setup.
I just got mine hooked up last night and it was the same way. Big difference over my Marantz SR5010. I’m trying to find the Dirac settings. Such a pain to setup this thing lol. Oh I got mine from Zach as well lol.
Love your clip descriptions. Great video. Considering JBL SDR-35/38 though I do have 4 QSC 900/1500 watt stereo amps. Are the processing guts the same in those and this SDP-55?
So where or which sud out of the processor did you use to connect you minidsp to. I’m using rca but can’t get the sound out of the sub1 rca out (red one), or should I be using the (black) sub2 out?
It doesn’t matter they’re both the same signal. Make sure you go in the web interface under speaker types, and select your appropriate configuration. The one just labeled subwoofer is the RCA sub/sub to output. If it’s set to none, you won’t have any sound, I have multiple so I happen to be using channels 15 and 16 for my subs
Sounds great, but I'm curious to see how much of a difference remains after calibration, particularly when you mention increased volume and bass response out of the box.
@@COGuyStuff This (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hTN_MyqKpeg.html) is one of the few setup videos of Dirac and Youthman had lots of trouble with it. I'd love to see a clear and simple to follow Dirac and Dirac Live Bass Control setup tutorial. Hoping you can give us some clear and concise info on how to set this up!
I'm considering the same processor. I think I heard your speaker configuration is 5.1.2. If so, are the heights in front pointed at the seating? If not, what is the setup?
I have gotten 3 dimensional sound objects to come into the sound bubble (rather than simply panning around the outside of it) with a simple 5.2.2 with Top Middles using a mid-ranged Denon. In my case I think its mostly good setup. The top-middles are in a good position to help bring sound objects into the space near where I am sitting is the only way I can describe it. I need to pick up Ready Player One to see if that 3 dimensional sound with the coins is present. I wouldnt expect that it is. I doubt the Denon has the resolution for it. (I have seen RPO on streaming but I wouldnt expect anything like that from streamed audio) I recommend trying out Jupiter Ascending to really test out your system. That has one of the best immersive mixes I have ever heard. Even better in some ways than Mission Impossible: Fallout (another good one if you dont have that)
Oh I had a 3d soundfield with atmos before, but not like this. It's another level. This isn't something you can get from a regular receiver, not even close.
@@COGuyStuff I imagine its partially due to better room correction but mostly due to a much better surround processor and better software in general thats capable of pulling more spacial resolution from the soundtrack.
Oh no. All this is with NOTHING on. Zero processing. The Logic16 is Harman's own type of upmixing, competing with DTS NeuralX and the Atmos upmixer. Unfortunately it's still in development and not advised to use though. When I was talking about the 3d effect that was TWO channel only, not surround.
Not specifically because they are XLR. The balanced outputs are just higher, at 2v, allowing the amp to reach full power. Some RCA are also 2+. Like I said, the Yamaha was only 1v.
LOL He also completely botched the test, using twice the correct input voltage. Harman responded with a detailed report, he did not post it. Old news, BS test.
@@COGuyStuff hmm I really love jbl.! And that processor.! But I'm not paying for something that have several issues.! Did the last updates fix the noise when running test tones.? Not trying to diss you in any way bro👊
That's a bug with the Dirac Software, not the unit. There are no showstopper bugs with the unit at all. cdn.fbsbx.com/v/t59.2708-21/221343516_2723783047912459_4793812937957952482_n.pdf/AV40-technical-review-15th-May-2020.pdf?_nc_cat=103&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=0cab14&_nc_ohc=RfaUh4XNDsUAX9zpd9z&_nc_ht=cdn.fbsbx.com&oh=e3456db63cae3224b433d3b9d749ee2e&oe=613C38DB&dl=1
