Lol! Thanks for the shout out guys. Seriously, sure they don’t measure well and they do look like a 90’s throw back (specifically the Polk RTI6). But I’m guessing they’re not terrible, especially for the price. The build quality looks good. Not hating, just poking fun. These are just material things at the end of the day. As a wise denim and spectical enthusiast once said “The only person who needs to enjoy your system is you” 🍻 P.S. AIWA is life!

As someone who bought a Marantz 11 channel processor which failed, and had to be replaced under warranty, i totally understand the fear of buying new gear. If i were to shop for a new processor, i could no longer afford Marantz as an option with their new pricing. But, there are always options. Just my opinion.

They’ve grown up always having 5.1 surround sound in the house, so movies and gaming at other households falls flat for them. My pieced together systems don’t have the latest tech, aren’t scientifically placed or tuned, and may fall below the standards of many followers here, but they rumble and damn are they fun! Someday, I can see myself searching the market for gear for a kids first system.

Hello Andrew and Kristi! I wanted to express my gratitude for providing such an entertaining video! I hope you don't mind if I ask an off-topic question. Thanks to your recommendation, I purchased the Q990C at a quite decent price, considering my location (Malta, to be exact). Now, I aim to maximize the soundbar's capabilities with my current setup. I have a PS5 connected to a Feintech VAX04101, which is then linked to a relatively inexpensive projector that, as far as I know, lacks ARC/eARC capabilities. My main concern is whether I can achieve the full 11.1.4 experience with this setup for gaming, TV shows, and movies, or if I should consider investing in something else. I appreciate your time and assistance!
@andrewrobinsonreviews
6 ай бұрын
I want to help, but unfortunately, I don't have any first-hand experience with the Feintech product or gaming with a projector connected to the Q990C. The 990C should pass through the video if you connect your PS5 to the HDMI input and then runthe HDMI out, out to your projector. I'm unsure what adding the Feintech gives you or does in this setup? You don't need to run audio to the projector as the soundbar is handling it so ARC/eARC isn't necessary here? Again, I haven't tried your exact setup. I'm doing my best to visualize the signal chain in my head, and I think you may be overcomplicating things.

This was a really fun video to watch! Thank you both! I bought the Jamo Studio 8 home theater package when they were dirt cheap on Amazon ($143 for the package) and they are what really got me into home theater. I only bought them after watching your review on them from a few years back and after watching the Cheap Audio Man (CAM) review the s803 and s801 speakers. After I got everything setup I went right to reddit and posted in both the home theater and budget audiophile subs because I was proud of my first setup and excited to share them and I immediately felt like everyone wanted to rip apart my speaker choice because "they don't measure very well". I think that there is a lot of "gate keeping" in the home audio world and It's just really refreshing to have your channel and CAM highlighting fun speakers at a good price point. It's also really fun to watch you review speakers that are way out of my budget but to also see you be happy enjoying my same speakers even if they don't have the flattest measurements. I've since upgraded significantly and am now enjoying the Klipsch Reference Premiere speakers in my home theater and the Jamos are still going strong in a secondary home theater area. I would have had a hard time purchasing the Jamos and the Klipsch speakers had there not be reviewers like you willing to recommend fun speakers and highlight pros and cons of fun speakers on a budget.

Hey just wanted to say thank you for your content and the way you both deliver it. I almost never engage with this community based on what I feel is an unwillingness to help others and their willingness to just flat out belittle people by the vocal few "audiophiles" who dominate the comment threads. When I was finally in a position to invest in a home theater system, I made a purchase based entirely on your review of the Polk R200's. I had seen others nit pick this speaker, but your thorough and unbiased review sold me on it. I have so much fun watching movies, even more so now with a 5.1.4 all Polk Reserve setup. I couldn't care less how it measures, it's budget friendly price, or that most wouldn't classify it as Hi-Fi, I just love how it sounds.

Well put in your comments about looking for "perfection" in a $300 speaker. One thing for people to critique a speaker system after living with it for a while, listening and objectively testing its performance. Another thing to crap all over something without every listening to it in the first place. Thank-you once again for your open and balanced approach to your reviews and all your videos. The mix of both your opinions is so well done. Love it. It appears my wife has the same issue with the high ends (frequencies) and dialogue as does Kristi if not more so. To the point where she watches TV and movies with subtitles on. I have an older Axiom 5.1 bookshelf whilesystem with a small Polk subwoofer and Onkyo AVR. My next upgrade will be a new center channel as after numerous tweaks to postition and volume it doesn't seem to cut it for her. Keep up all your great hard work!

Speaker manufacturers need to evolve with their center channel speaker form factor; who really wants the distraction of a hulking box of a center channel right smack in front of their sleek Oled? Or why not a center channel bar with integrated ATMOS speakers (for those that don’t want to place hideous ATMOS speakers in their living rooms)? As a consumer I’d sacrifice a little elitist audiophile/HT nerdy performance for something that has a more balanced aesthetic for real living spaces that don’t overwhelmed the pleasure of watching. I’d be curious to see a review of the KEF HTC 8001.

Thanks for covering some of my comments / questions. Let me clarify, though. I understand the role that the center channel plays and how valuable it is, however, that statement is incomplete, it needs to be how valuable it is for certain situations. Let's take the movie theater situation that Andrew mentioned in the video. He is completely correct with a seating area that wide having center channels to anchor dialogue to the screen is a huge advantage over phantom. This is because of how wide the seating area is. Here is where things diverge, though. In homes a lot of people don't have the equivalent of a theater where people may be sitting way off center. A lot of in home systems have 1 to 5 viewers that are all relatively close to on center. With speakers that have a great center image this is child's play for a phantom center set up. Some listeners jave budget Best Buy speakers and may really need that center for any seat off of dead center. There are others though that have a scaled down cinema in home and will greatly benefit from a center channel many viewers that are well off center. Phantom isn't the best solution for everyone. However, it is a viable solution and a great one for a lot of people. The problem is a lot of people don't even know it is an option at all. That is what I mean about the industry conspiracy. Why would "they" want anyone to do phantom. It is a xash cow. Convince people to buy expensive mains for good misic performance. Now for movies, well now you need an expensive center as it is the most important channel because almost all dialogue goes there now. That is true, except there is an exception to that which is almost never told, and that is that it isn't mandatory. Fhe center is the most important channel for sureound content IF you add one. If not then your mains remain the most important speakers, and dollar for dollar they are simply better.

As someone who likes his music a bit on the louder side and who has been checking db levels the past few months out of curiosity in the interest of avoiding hearing damage, 85 db average with peaks 90+ db at the listening position is quite loud. I find I like my music in the 80 to 85 db average level but beyond that it's getting excessive at least for any extended period of time.

I use KEF Q35 as front channels and my wife and I keep trying to add a centre speaker but it comes off as so much less natural sounding. It calls so much attention to itself.

Jamo's design isn't for everyone. If you like black rectangular cubes, there is a wider selection. I'd personally add them to my system if the price is right. I bought several pairs of the S803 based on the price and the looks. I think the new design will hold up better than the previous generation.

I totally agree with you: there is no right or wrong in this hobby. It’s so personal, we hear all in a different way. A long time ago I was visiting a college and he was doubtful about with amplifier worked well with his new speakers from Jamo ( big floorstanders). He had 3 amps to his disposal. We were the about the same age and we loved the same music (classical) and we had a totally different preference. Who was right or wrong: nobody. I never get personal over someone taste, if the other person is happy and I have another taste so what. Greetings from Ludo Belgium

Hi Andrew! Thanks for the great content! I've watched a bunch of your videos, and was hoping you could drop a recommendation. I am building a film studio for video production, but it will double as an intimate unique event space. The space I need help with is 22' wide, 45' long, with sealed concrete floors, 13' exposed commercial ceilings with exposed metal i-beams, and there's not a ton of reverb, but I will be hanging acoustic panels parallel to the floor from the i-beams to clean up some of the slight echo there is. I'm rocking the Hisense C1 at 175" for video, and while I have the Samsung Q990b at the house, and the Q990C in the green room, I know I need a real setup for this space. I'm unsure if the theater style screen/sound will rent out well, so I want to go very mid/low tier. Ideally under 3K with receiver, but I could jump it to sub 4K all in. I'd love if it could be an Atmos setup as well. Because nothing can be permanent if at floor/wall level, I was thinking tower speakers for the front L/R, a center speaker brought in at ear level, or a permanent mount angled down from an i-beam, two bookself speakers at the rear, and either up firing atmos speakers, or I could easily mount them to the ibeams pointing down. Depending on what you recommend, I may need a dedicated sub as well. Keep up the great content, and thank you for your time and help!

Okay, first, thanks for the support and supper chat! Because this is a larger space, but one that may need to accomodate a lot of different configurations, I'm not sure I'd go with towers. I think on-walls may be the most freeing as they won't be in anyone's way (or foot path) if you do an event or gathering --something you'd have to consider even with towers let alone bookshelf speakers on stands. If we go with on-walls, we can keep all the speakers the same, which is best for surround sound honestly. I was going to steer you towards Arendal 1961 bookshelf speakers all around but they're discontinued. My next choice would be Magnat's THX cinema line here amzn.to/49hO6rS. These are great, wall-mountable speakers that can be used for all channels. Add a sub or two and you should be good to go! For an AVR, I used the Onkyo RZ50 and it was a great combo. Now, we may be pushing your budget here (not sure) but this would be a good setup for a large space like yours.

@@andrewrobinsonreviews I was hoping you'd say these. I've watched A LOT of your videos and this is the system I initially built out. Really appreciate the input. What would you do with the center channel? Would you mount it at roughly a 10' height hanging from the I-beam, would you bring out a small table to set it on when in use for screenings, or would you skip it all together?
@andrewrobinsonreviews
6 ай бұрын
I would likely experiment with both center options, or mount the center to the wall below the screen. If this is going to be a semi event or gathering space, I would advise against ANYTHING being on a stand/table out in the room.

I got into this hobby because of an old Sony stereo my dad bought me at a garage sale which had a built in tuner, CD player and cassette player with a pair of speakers that had the speaker wire attached to them and I thought it was the coolest thing when I was a teenager and it was FUN to jam out to my favorite music. Fast forward 15 years and I’m STILL having fun when I listen to music on my current rig, I never want my hifi to not be fun, because if it’s not fun anymore…what is it and why are you doing it? I think people mess up big time going too far down the “audiophile” rabbit hole and it becomes not fun because you care more about listening to the gear than you do the music and THAT is very uncool in my opinion.

Definitely having fun. Too many people though decide to align themselves with internet teams and form opinions without ever hearing anything for themselves. It’s unfortunate but an aspect of the internet echo chamber age. I would absolutely encourage people to goto a local Hifi store and hear for themselves. I would also encourage that they respect what someone else might like and that not everyone needs to be in your camp. Like what you like and enjoy and don’t sweat what others may think since it’s yours not theirs.
