@@HomeTheaterHobbyist HI, I just wanted to ask approximate cost of your home theater sound set up including basically the speakers, sub, and the receiver. Just an idea of close guess on total cost? Or guesstimate on total cost of the previous speakers vs the new one
@jamegumb7298
@jamegumb7298 2 месяца назад
@@biggesttboss I went cheap as possible. So I built my own speakers. I made 27 liter closed box SB Acoustics 8 inch fullrange drivers (7 for 5.1.2, at €56 per driver not including MDF, banana plugs, padding, paint, glue, etc). I love the sound. Capacitor tuning only, no filter or BSC. I recently calculated a nice closed box for 12 inch fullrange, the Fane Sovereign 12-250TC, and built 1 test box. I may build 3 for the LCR. I went as small as possible, with 47 liter, but ideally we are talking 75-90 liter. But you will need to correct them at such a small volume. Either of these on a nice 5.1.2 will do golden as a start, or in my case as end station, single drivers have a lot of pros and a few cons, the pros for me outweigh the cons by enough to not go anywhere different. I personally find these have no real need for a sub but you can if you want to of course. Klan+Ton has a recent issue with a 4 smaller driver one, but ifa big boomy rumbler is for over accurate and fast, dont go there and get a big huge single drivers instead. I have one with plate amp built into a sewer pipe (most rigid I could find) and it goes nice and low. I have a Denon AVR-S760H myself, up from a Denon AVR-1513. Both were ~€500. There is no absolute need to go super highend, but if you do want that, I'd personally not go for a super expensive receiver but a prepro and 1U amps, something like Crown. But that will cost you, obviously.

Especially if you snag them on sale (like I did), I don’t see myself deviating from them any time soon. I do, however, upgrade my subs on occasion. Bass is an addiction. 😂

I had Klipsch reference premiere 5.2 for 5 years. It was a great system, but I really want true 3 way speakers and soft some tweeters to reduce ear fatigue and better off axis response. I ended up going with a 5.2 monolith setup and the difference to me was much improved. I did need a 5 channel amp to get the dynamic range. The vocals are less muddy and cleaner, off axis response is significantly improved and ear fatigue is gone.

Honestly any speaker tower under $2000 a pair will be pretty similar especially if you use direct or dps will give it all pretty much the same exact sound some will be brighter then the other but dps will flatten them down alot when you ab tell you'll notice only very small differences all the speakers in the price range will pretty much have the same distortion at sed volume level in that price range

I was surprised you didn't get the Arendal towers but I think you made the right choice. The extra woofers on their towers roll off really early. I think around 100 -120 Hz so they hardly get any use when paired with subs.

I am in the process (have the center, waiting on the towers to arrive tomorrow) of swapping out my THX Ultra II fronts and subs for the RP-504C II and the RP-8060FA II, and I've pre-ordered 2 of the RP-1600SW subwoofers. Arendal was high on my list, and really the only two reasons I stayed with Klipsch was my in-ceiling speakers are Klipsch and I wanted to maintain a more cohesive listening experience, and the dealer I swapped my speakers with didn't carry Arendal... darn. Such a great looking system though!

I have the 2016 reference from Klipsch and I still love them for movies! Looking to pick up the Heresy 3s for 2 ch. Soon! Idk if it's my hearing or my reciever or what but I never noticed any brightness. I've heard that enough that there must be something to it though.

Cody, I obviously follow you because I'm a home theater hobbyist, but I am also a recording engineer and composer and as such one gets a sound in one's mind about what "perfect" sound is and how a song I produce for example should sound the best to me. It sounds like you have come close to your home theater panacea. Congratulations.

😁😁 thanks! I don’t think these are perfect or even “endgame” for me but it’s going to very hard for some other speakers to dethrone them. 😆 Email me sometime, I’d love to talk about your recording engineer experience and what speakers you like. 😆

Congrats and welcome to the Arendal family! I went with Arendal back in July 2022 (replacing my old Pioneer Andrew Jones set). Currently have the 1961 towers with monitors for surrounds and did opt for the 1723 S center. In my room, I found the 1723 S also paired really well with the 1961 towers as far as seamlessly transitioning and did test out one of the 1961 monitors as a "center" and found that I was glad to have gone with the bigger 1723 S. They make some great speakers though and like yourself like the neutrality and their ability to use more power. I'm actually waiting on a purchase to provide the front stage with some more wattage. Will you be applying for their Ambassador program? (I joined that as well). Congrats again!
@HomeTheaterHobbyist

Thanks! I'm happy to be here! 😁 The 1723S does pair well with the 1961 Towers. I didn't talk much about it in my 1961 review because I hadn't broken mine in yet but it works. Bigger, bolder sound. To be honest, I haven't really thought about applying for the ambassodor program! I looked at it a few months ago when I was doing research for my initial review but haven't thought much about it since. 😁 Are you a member?

Hey bro, I have a similar setup, I'm running the Klipsch RP 8000f, RP 404c center channel, RP 502s for surrounds, 4 RP 500sa for Atmos and the SPL 150 Sub. I bought the whole setup in January of 22 and the sub stop working a couple weeks ago and I've since taken back to audio advice to have a look at it. That said, now that the LFE are being routed to the tower's I have a new love for these speakers. I'm amazed at the way they sound, the bass that's coming out of these has got me wondering if I even need a sub at all. But I just pulled the trigger on the SVS pb 3000 and it'll be delivered tomorrow. I guess I said all that to say I'm with you bro with the Klipsch.
@HomeTheaterHobbyist

Hey Cody, just wanted to reach out to you about PB 3000. I'm sure that they are definitely an upgrade from the SPL 150. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy the Klipsch subwoofer but I think that I get a little more from the SVS. I haven't gotten my Klipsch subwoofer back yet. I reached out to audio advice last month and they said that they were waiting on Klipsch to send a replacement amp and that it's still under warranty, no $$. When I was reading Klipsch warranty statement and it said that when their product is in for warranty issues and they can't repair or no longer carry said product, then they will replace the product with a equal or higher quality/value of the same product. That said,they just came out with the new RP line of subwoofers and I'm hoping (fingers crossed) for the new 16inch but will take the 14inch. Now I'm excited to add this with the PB 3000 to see how they play together but if they do repair the one I sent back I'm still hooking it because I just want to see what two subs sound like in my room. As I write this I'm watching Godzilla vs Kong 2021 and the 3000s rock's. If I do get a new Klipsch subwoofer I'll let you know how that turns out. Thanks for video that dropped today as well and keep up the good work.

Wow beautiful speakers! I started with Sony HTIB then upgraded to Def Tech satellites. Got a part time doing installs just to learn more about custom home theaters. I had heard some incredible systems (that I couldn’t possibly afford) and just had to upgrade eventually. Somewhere along the line I ended up with PSB (they sound great with music, theater not so much) then it was Monitor Audio Silvers. However, once I heard THX certified speakers I knew that was it. I realize that a lot of people have a negative opinion about THX as a brand. I blame Monster for that because they slapped the label on everything and THX went along with it ($$$) of course. I was able to pick up a full set of M&K 5000 which was the first THX set and was absolutely floored. The realism, dynamics and seamlessness were second to none. Unfortunately, they are a bit power hungry so they are in storage. I was later introduced to Atlantic Technology and found a complete 370 set for $500. Grabbed em and never looked back. Say what you want about the marketing/branding of THX, but I can say with confidence that I have yet to hear anything better for a dedicated home theater. Sorry for the long winded post! Enjoy the new speakers and enjoy the holidays!! 🤙🏻

Good video and enjoy your new speakers! I always tell people that this hobby is expensive and it never stops. One word of advice for anybody trying to get into this hobby.... Don't buy the first set of speakers you think sounds good. Do your research and save your money until you can get a good set. If not you will always be searching for that "good sound"...💲. (Which could also be a good journey).

I have been looking to upgrade my Def. Tech 8015. Thanks for your review on the Arendal Sound. I would like to know what AVR or Amp you are driving them with. I know my Marantz 5014 is a 8 ohm and Arendal are a 4 ohm. So it would be nice to see a review system when driving your new speakers.
@HomeTheaterHobbyist
@HomeTheaterHobbyist Год назад
Good question, I'm using my Denon AVR-X4400h as my surround processor and Monoprice Monolith 7 Channel amplifier for amplification. The monolith outputs up to 300 watts per channel (4ohms, all channels driven), 200 watts per channel (8ohms all channels driven). It handles all my floor level speakers. In general a lot of receivers can drive 4 ohms speakers even if they are 6 or 8 ohm receivers, one reason is because speakers don't stay at 4 ohms all the time. One piece of advice though, as an owner if you have 4ohms speakers with a 6 or 8 ohm receiver, try not to run them at really loud volumes, that could trigger the circuit protection in the receiver and shut it down. Hopefully this helps. 😁

@HomeTheaterHobbyist
@HomeTheaterHobbyist Год назад
I would stick with the klipsch brand for the sides and rears if you’re doing those upfront. That way you have a nice tonal match. Having an extra set of surrounds for the 2nd/3rd row is not a bad idea but I would go for rears if possible before adding an additional set of surrounds speakers.
