He has been so successful because he enjoys the chase/journey more than the destination. People like Matt are the innovators because great is never good enough enough. Michael is the same way. One of Michael's greatest talents is being comfortable with being uncomfortable. Truly a pleasure to follow Michael and his life journey. It has been an incredible ride.

I don't know what you're using for WiFi so this may vary somewhat but on your WiFi settings play around with different channel options to see if it improves it. Additionally if it runs on multiple bands you can usually split them creating discrete connections for each. For example, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Then try connecting devices specifically to 1 such as the 5GHz channel as the bass transceivers are likely running at 2.4GHz.

Ah the joy of changing / Upgrading stuff :D i miss it, every upgrade costs me so much now haha :D

[brucecarter]

Interesting. I can definitely change my channel levels after running Dirac Live with Bass Control on my HTP-1. Must be a NAD limitation. My HTP-1 even has a quick center channel dialog adjustment button right on the remote, which I believe allows for a quick +3dB to -3dB adjustment if memory serves.

I noticed the marantz has a field for transducers, im loving it, Im ordering one right now

[dhowting]

Here we go again! Woohoo!!! Lol... I watch Adam LZ's channel too! Thats cool that Matt's his friend!

Matt's GT3 is GORGEOUS!!! Arguably THE BEST street car on the planet!

I love the Cinema 30....if I had one I'd take the glass door off my media cabinet so the view of it wasn't obstructed!!

I don't ont know if it would work OR if Matt would want too but I've seen some speaker Spike/feet designs like those that are reversible. Flat part goes on the under side and the spikes hold them in from the top.

A 9.5" woofer has 1/4 the area of an 18" woofer.
The dual 9.5" configuration is designed to eliminate cabinet resonance. It's a push-pull arrangement.
Having 4 of these should still give you peaks exceeding 115dB plus all the advantages of multiples for evening our bass response.
I have a 12x13 room which will have 4 Starke SW15 on a 2x4 miniDSP. Less than 2500 all in for that. In room 12 Hz at 88 dB.

Hey Mike, with the wireless sub wifi conflict issue, have him check what "channel" the svs wireless device is using on the wifi router. He most likely is in the 2.4GHZ range. The wifi device channel can be changed and that should help with the conflict.

The Marantz Cinema 30 is an absolute beast. It's sounds great and looks like art work. Great video. Thanks.

That's interesting what Matt's experiencing with WiFi. I have the tri band as well and don't have any issues. But I put as many devices as possible on my 6 ghz network band and have my AVR and Apple TV connected via ethernet. Maybe he should try something like that if he hasnt already to limit any wireless interference

[doyleshafer]

This was more interesting than I thought it would be.

[skippyturtle]

I'm a lot like Matt, and I have a basement full of speakers, amps and receivers to prove it. You may already know this, but those plugs on the speaker terminals are so an electrical plug is not plugged into them. I read somewhere that the UK plug has the same distance between the posts. I have never tested that, but that was what I had read.

[HomeTheaterCommish]

He spoke about CENTER Channel audio, time for you guys to try A1 EVO before you buy MultiQ X. It will bring those 4 subs together and better center channel audio.

[JayPatrol]

He's got a Nice setup
I have the svs pinnacles with pb 2000 subwoofer, a Marantz cinema 70s and a emotiva xpa 3 channel external amplifier
Good enough for me.
I hope he enjoys his speakers

[Iank]

Awesome! Take a photo of all the settings Audyssey made before playing with any. Distance, tone, etc.

[SGTOldSchool]

Dyn EQ is great for a living room setup IMO. Like others have mentioned, look into the OCA A1 EVO script. It takes Audyessy calibration to another level in conjunction with REW.

[joelkuznetsov]

Wow 2 of my favorite guys!!! I'm a detailer who enjoys obsessed garage! I think a lot of car guys are also audio fanatics. It's a certain group of people 😅

[voiceofreason]

Matt made a lot of good choices. I love Marantz and that Cinema 30 looks like a great choice. I also like the black speakers, never was a fan of while. Super clean looking front end. 👍

FYI the older Marantz AVR's gave you a lot of control over the center channel. Since I'm a big fan of quality center speakers I found I could really dial it in to my personal preferences using the Marantz.

[emiller]

Stay tuned for more crazy! Enjoyed this collaboration.

[jonathanhaworth]

I enjoy most approaches. There are always tidbits or things that didn't work and other killer bits.
Now, not everybody has the funds to do what you guys do but I am not jealous or bothered by it.
I have a small room and I found my PB2000Pro was a bit boomy. I decided to add a pair of Starke SW15. Way better for the room. Still in the process of installing a MiniDSP because my Marantz 6014 has a dead Sub 2 output. Always a pivot to be made but the tight bass was worth the moderate cost
