Inside Kris Deering’s Deep Dive AV Home Theater

Join me for an in-depth tour of Deep Dive AV, the personal home theater of Kris Deering — professional calibrator, reviewer, and one of the most respected technical voices in the AV industry. Kris walks us through his reference theater, built more for accuracy and immersion rather than flash. We’ll look at the design philosophy, acoustic treatments, calibration approach, and the gear that brings it all together — including his projector setup, screen choice, speakers, and processing chain. If you’re serious about performance-based home theater design, this is the kind of setup that shows what’s possible when every detail matters. 🎬 Topics covered: Room design and acoustic treatment philosophy Gear selection and system layout Video and audio calibration process Dirac Live ART and advanced room correction Lessons learned from decades of reviewing and building theaters #HomeTheater #DeepDiveAV #KrisDeering 00:00 - Start 01:39 - Building a Home Theater/Test Lab from Scratch 13:16 - Upgradeitis? 18:24 - Going to the Movies 19:28 - The Future of Home Cinema
