My Dolby Atmos Home Theater Setup

Here's a tour of my dolby atmos home theater. My speaker setup is a 5.1.2 surround sound system.

Despite me using SVS Speakers and Subwoofer I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM. I had a really bad experience with them and do not endorse or support them.

I'm an audio guy.... That has designed "many" audio amplifiers... Your system is just fine! What so many audio guys can not wrap their heads around is: Audio is a personal thing, and if you're happy, that's all that matters! Great Job Armando!

not enough TV for that much sound, especially when sitting that far back.

You know you're successful when your wife lets you build your man cave in the living room

Nice home audio setup... Nice pad too... I don't get the negative comments regarding the TV?? "Each to their own".. A 65" TV is not a small TV by any stretch of the imagination.. it fits in nicely to its surroundings too.. There's not many people can afford to buy a 65" TV and put it in a place they can call home.. People can't even afford to buy a home with a living room big enough to fit in.. So good on yah!!

I see the "Audiophiles" have arrived. It seems some are missing the point, this was a project that had a bunch of compromises. I am 100% aware of speaker placement, heck I even said it in the video (some seem to have missed that). There's only so much I can do with the current layout and design of the house without ripping walls and redesigning things.

This house already has a dedicated movie theater that was wired and is perfect in size to have everything done correctly. However, I chose to make that room my studio because the size of the room is really big and having my own studio is more important to me than having a fancy theater in my home.

With that being said, I love movies and appreciate a good surround sound system. So knowing the limitations of the room and challenges we did the best that we could to make it work and also keeping it minimal. Yes, the TV is on the smaller side and the most I can fit is 70" which I haven't bought because I'm waiting for the right TV.

Bottom line, it sounds perfect in the given conditions and everyone that has experienced it has been blown away by how immersive the sound experience is. In fact, I wish I would have recorded this but the first time I fired it up, my kids were looking around the room because they thought a bird was flying around when I played an Atmos demo. It was pretty awesome to see.

So although I appreciate the comments, you're preaching to the choir because I already know this lol. We are 100% satisfied with everything and love watching movies and entertaining our guests which is better than not having anything at all and listening to the sound coming from the TV or a soundbar.

Yes, swiveling the rear speakers a bit toward the listener is a good idea. You should also move your couch up about 6-8 feet closer to the TV. This will solve a few of your problems. It will make the TV appear larger, it will triangulate your distance to the left and right speakers closer to an isosceles triangle which will improve imaging and stereo sound (currently you're way too far away from the fronts and center), it will also place the ceiling mounted speaker closer to the listener, and it will improve your surround sound overall. I would also experiment placing the sub in the rear left corner of the room but if it sounds better where you have it now just leave it. You can place a magazine shelf behind the sofa so the new placement of the sofa doesn't look unusual, and it you'll now have full access to the windows in the back of the room which is always nice.

I noticed that you have your SVS bookshelf speakers inside of a cabinet which very negatively affects sound quality such as resonance. I would suggest to stick acoustic foam in the entire inside of those cabinets so that you don’t get resonating sound reflections.

Love the area under your TV that holds the speakers and audio equipment.

I like this design even though it may not be ideal, especially if this was just a living room setup and you had a separate home theater one. The minimalist approach in your living quarters provides a great sense of space and balance.

Very nice setup, very clean. I still remember when one of my colleagues dropped $10, 000 on a Pioneer 50 inch plasma tv years ago, this is a much better deal. LOL

[HopeNewDay]

That house setup is so freaking nice. It's like I was looking at a home growth magazine. All you need is pictures on the wall.

[topc_]

I know there’s a like and dislike button but where is the jealous button. Love this setup.

[Pyper]

Alexa was going crazy looking for things in my house at the end of the video...really nice setup...love those in-ceiling directionals

[stanmanh]

Nice setup. I have a similar setup. I have a 70 inch 4K tv for my daily use and a 100 inch projector screen that comes down from my ceiling for movie nights. BIG projector screen is your next step into real immersive theater effect. Maybe your next add on!

[Babumoshaaai]

Too unfortunate there is no space for a bigger screen size, beautiful home though.

[quentinbrown]

With that cool of a setup, you really need a good tv. C8, Q9FN, P Quantum... something to match that sound! Love the setup though, that’s the first home theater setup I’ve seen that’s clean enough to go in a living room

[sparkymahoney]

"If the wife is washing dishes or something...." Yeah. Clearly he's not married.

[TDonitrowsb]

Nice and clean! Don't forget that this is in a living room and not a dedicated Theatre. $10K on a theatre in the living room is more than the average but for a dedicated theatre set-up, $10K will be spent just on cables alone. B&W, Krell, Anthem, Martin Logan...so much goodness.

[ShreyTyagi]

Alexa seemed a bit slow while dealing with the lights ! 😂

[edwardsanchez]

My favorite part is those happy looks on that guys face right at the beginning. Reminds me of being a kid all over again :)
