Really authentic discussion guys. This video feels un-rushed and is packed with info. Great job.
There's honestly some very well thought out design features on these chairs. Definitely a great looking option!
Really love the chair and it's features, but i'm really surprised it doesn't have a memory function. If they can add that in the furure, i would definitely consider a purchase. Thank you for the video, it was awesome!
Only wish they had multiple color options!
The dimmability is huge. I have chairs that only have on/off for LED. The tray table is also an issue with my current ones. You guys did a superb job walking through this. Now I have to figure out how to sell my current ones.
If only seats like this were the norm in movie theaters, SMH.
Seriously, with the price of movie tickets these types of seats will make it worth it
@@CECriticyou have to go to the right theater
@@SaimesierP we have some really nice ones by, but the neck position is my biggest issue.
They are in our town. I was shocked to see that they had seats close to this quality inside of AMC. But we have a full Atmos setup so we still watch most stuff at home.
Looks like a great seat! Just throwing it out there that I use USB in my seats all the time to charge my phone and theater tablet ;)
Great video. I actually have the prior version of these chairs and love them. These additions you reviewed in this video are only going to make them better. When I move, I'll plan on leaving my current ones and getting these
We currently have Valencias that we got 2 years ago. They have been nice seats. But we got to sit in the Revelations today at Audio Advice Live. My husband and I both wish these had been available when we bought ours. These are more comfortable than ours, particularly the lumbar. But also we cannot use the LEDs because our currents ones are only on and off. The dimmable feature is huge. We also don't use our current tray tables. After seeing the one in the Revelations, we are both really impressed. We can't buy them today, but we will probably look to buying them for Christmas this year. Great video Michael. I really liked how you all just talked and interacted.
good looking seats!
Great job @audioadvice - shows you guys really care
Nice seats😊
I always enjoy Scott's Positive, Energetic and Knowledge of all things Home Theater!!💯💯
Discuss an amazing guy. I really appreciate him and the Audio Advice team.
Awesome video as usual 😊 thanks for sharing!
Thank you kindly.
I'd inevitably fill up that USB port on the side of the cup holder with beer at some point 😅
Super nice chairs.
Nice and informative video. Love the chairs but what is the name of those chairs you were reviewing in your video plus how do you get them in a extra large size in a single chair?
These seats look amazing! - My only complaint with my own (no name) seats deals with the "recline speed" - I want something that moves quickly. In addition to that, the next step up would be to add a user memory setting - just like my truck has - user 1 and user 2. - Maybe for V2 seats! - Cheers!
These seats are going to sell like crazy!
I like a short back seats I’ll be able to hear the back surround speakers!
The compromise with short backs, is it difficult to watch an entire movie without upper back and neck support. The simple answer is to recline when watching a movie and you don’t have any obstruction.
@@Youthman I’m only 5”8 inches hahaha
When I’m reclining, I still need neck support. I don’t want to sit straight up watching a movie but that’s just me.
I bought a row of 3 Seatcraft Diamante for my recent home theatre build. After using the seats for 2 months and watching this video, here are the features I wish I could steal from this video. 1. Tray - My trays are square with a shiny finish. Not only can I not use the cupholder when using the tray, but they are slick and big vibrations cause the remotes to fall off of them. The trays also get finger prints all over them and start looking gross after use. Audio Advice should sell the trays on the side, I'd buy one to upgrade my current tray. 2. Dimmable LEDs - I have to keep the LEDs off because in the reclined position, the bottom half of the screen becomes blue. I still think they could design it where the LEDs are pointed or focused downwards so you don't have the light bleed on the screen. 3. Food Catcher - My favorite movie snack is popcorn, which is also one of the hardest foods to eat. I am constantly dropping popcorn on my seat and losing it underneath. 4. Chair Connector - That was one of the things I was most disappointed with in my purchase. No way to lock the chairs together, sure you can push them together but its hard to get right. I might try and build or fabricate a solution for mine. Great video, kind of wish these chairs were available like 4 months ago, but oh well.
Will you do usb c ports for the couch? No one use A ports anymore.
Good job to AA and youthman.!
Super Super 😎👀😁
I watched Audio Advice’s video on this chair last night and had to hold my breathe as I have a row of Valencia Tuscany Ultimate Luxury being delivered tomorrow, so I was happy that while these look great, I think the Valencia Tuscany Ultimate Luxury were still the right choice for me…but of course they are a little more.
Hey Dustin - I will be purchasing theater seats soon and my first choice was the Valencia Tuscany Ultimate Luxury chairs. I would be curious to hear your opinion after you set up and use your chairs.
@@scottruiz5897 They came today and then I realized…I ordered the wrong seats!!!! I had no idea that had a Tuscany Luxury and Tuscany Ultimate Luxury and I ordered the Tuscany Luxury, so now I had to exchange them…it was totally my fault, but I do think they should be named more uniquely.
Hey Dustin - what do you think of your Tuscany Ultimate Luxury chairs now? I am in the market and trying to decide. Any regrets?
Are these as good as the Tuscany Ultimate?
Can you raise the back of seat so that you sit straight up? I don't always want to be in the reclined position and like to sit up straight.
I am in the market looking for theater seats. I like a lot of the cool features but when I called to see what kind of warranty they offered I was told only one year. Most of the good chairs I reviewed have 3-5 years warranties. If they believe in their product then they should give a better warranty.
Does that tray table fit on a Valencia?
Yes,,,,they would fit perfectly.
Was there a lot of people requesting curve vs straight seating?
Thanks guys! These are a very attractive option. Can you comment on how that material compares to the cheapo bonded leather as far as durability? Ive read mixed opinions
These are not bonded leather. As you likely know bonded leather usually is pieces of leather effectively bonded/glued together. As you point out, this creates a durability challenge historically for bonded leather. These are Vegan Leather, which has no animal products in it. The durability is very high in this type of Vegan leather we use because we expect them to get heavy use by children and many others. Hope that helps.
@@scottnewnam6976 would you say it wears better or worse than the "top grain" options on competing chairs?
@@hifihometheater Great question. In my opinion, the broader market is moving towards vegan leather both for environmental reasons but also it is incredibly durable (even more than "top grain" options on other chairs that we and others sell) and has a host of advantages (Telsa and Rivian have both done this as well). Because these chairs will take a stronger beating than even a seat in a Tesla or Rivian, these seats use a slightly thicker vegan leather that has texture that you can see in the video shots. Unlike leather, you don't really need to treat these at all to keep them in great condition. Whereas on leather you need to regularly treat it to protect the leather and its durability and even then you will see scratches, wine spills, etc on top grain leather. You can also sit on these with bluejeans as many times as you want and you won't see anything or hurt it. I have now lived with this fabric for testing purposes for some time and we've spilled food, jumped on them, worn jeans, you name it, and the look and feel has not changed. I suspect in 5 years the vast majority of high end car manufacturers and furniture manufacturers will have made the change to Vegan leather for all these reasons. Hope that helps.
@@scottnewnam6976 Thank you Scott. Yes, that helps a lot.
I honestly think the material looks shiny and cheap, I would prefer a real leather as an option.
I use usb all the time to charge my wireless keyboard stuff since I play games in my theater
I have demoed these chairs personally at their other location. I liked them quite a bit and they made my short list of considerations. Like Michael in the video, I also noticed the extended recline position these go to in comparison to Tuscany (which I ended up purchasing instead)
These were just released today so unless you were in the store today, you were either sitting in their previous model the Revolution or maybe a prototype when they were getting feedback. If your local definitely come back and check out the new Revelation seats.
@@Youthman Michael it was the definitely the revelation. I also tested the Revolution. They were ready to sell to me. Again. This was at their Charlotte location. I made a comment about my feedback and experience on their video yesterday and they said it must have been a prototype (but the salesman never told me as such but anyways) I decided on the Tuscany instead cause I didn’t like the feel of the lumbar feature when not in use (I still felt something there). In my Tuscany I can go from zero to in use. Hard to explain. But anyways. I will be at AAL tomorrow and sit on them again and see if it’s been changed. I did tell them I miss having the memory function but do prefer the button and usb location on the revelation above Tuscany and I was very very impressed at the touch and feel of the fake leather.
Very cool Frankie definitely come and say hi
Hey Frankie - I am looking for theater seats now for my theater I am building. I am leaning toward the Tuscany as well but saw this video on the Revelation seats and was curious. I was surprised to find out they only offer a 1 year warranty. If they believe in their product then they need to back it up with a good warranty like Valencia (3-5 yrs). I have chronic low back pain. Do you think this chair might aggravate that?
@@scottruiz5897 I will be demoing the Revelations again tomorrow and can report back what I feel after trying them again.
Love the seats, my only concern is spilled drinks on the buttons that get very sticky hard to clean those areas.
I’ve had my Theater Room for 17 years and I can’t recall ever spilling a drink in my room.
@@Youthman you are the man my friend.
Is there a dedicated spot for butt kickers?
^ This
The only thing you people do not realize that there’s hundreds and thousands of handicap people that are not able to use their hands nor their feet their mobilities is very limited by myself. I’ve been written for 11 years confined to a recliner 24 seven for all those years, and I desperately need this can I buy it?
Youthman, how would you compare these chairs to the Tuscany Ultimate Luxury chairs? The Tuscany has the memory button but also costs more.
Both are great chairs. The leather on the Tuscany is softer to the touch but as a result, you have to wipe them down more as they more easily show if you have any grease on your fingers or hair. I personally prefer the feel of the leather on the Tuscany Ultimate Luxury but both seats are super comfortable to sit in. The tray table is much nicer on the Revolution. If you do decide to purchase either one, I have affiliate links for both and would be grateful if you used them.
They are clearly the result of much consideration, but unfortunately they look cheap with the shiny faux leather and buttons around the cup holder. Bet they are comfortable though. Come to think of it they would be perfect in a commercial movie teatre because of their intuitive controls, comfort and cleanability. Audio Advice should definitely approach professional custumers as well with these seats.
Are these seats made by Valencia per the specs of Audio Advice? It's a great video but if this was taking the best of these two companies (OEM & post-sale company) it would be good to understand. Thanks, E
I’m not sure I understand your question. Audio Advice designed a seat that would compete directly with Valencia. It would not make sense for Valencia to manufacture seats for a competitor.
@@Youthman Thanks for the quick reply. I'm in the market to buy a 3-row front row seating (later 3 or 2 in back) and navigating the best to purchase isn't easy; especially for someone oblivious to home theater trends/advice/info. Your video is the best I've seen but a similar product from Valencia (a clear OEM of chairs - that's their main business) is $700 cheaper for 3-row seating. Audio Advice strikes me as a consultant/retailer of home theater not an OEM (that's a big difference). Therefore, when I see Audio Advice selling home theater chairs like they make 'em themselves doesn't make sense. They may have designed them but someone else is making them. Therefore, my question is "who is making these chairs on behalf of Audio Advice? This can matter because if you have warranty or service issues, the OEM is obligated to assist. FWIW, think of Costco branded goods that are really made by someone else. I understand if you cannot answer but I'm wondering should I pay $700 more for Audio Advice because they designed the chairs better than the OEM (Valencia)?
I guess my concern is two-fold: 1) Why would I buy chairs from a consultant/retailer of home theater 2) If something goes wrong with my purchae that requires service/warranty, will I get support? I don't know this industry well but Valencia is clearly an OEM of theater chairs & that's their main business. Audio Advice - as their company name suggests is a consultant or a retailer of brands. This just happens to be their own brand. It's not like they are competing to be an OEM of projectors or TVs or speakers. See what I mean?
Thank you for clarifying. I thought you were asking if Audio Advice had contracted with Valencia to design their chairs. I see what you mean now. Honestly I have no idea who Audio Advice uses to actually manufacture their chairs..
Respectfully, this comes across as more of an advertisement than a review, which is not what I expected here. As for the chairs, "affordability" is a relative word but they seem quite pricey to me.
Is there any other way that the video could’ve been done? I have other comments on the video that say the exact opposite I guess it’s all perspective.
@@Youthman Fair enough and you certainly have the right to produce your content in any fashion you choose. It just seemed different than your usual fair, which I've been a huge fan of.
Genuine question, is there a better way I could have made the video? Just curious what is different and what suggestions you have
@@Youthman I'm surprised and somewhat humbled you would even ask for my input as you've obviously experienced enough success to not need it. As a fan of your content, I've always appreciated your honesty and objectivity. I just don't personally see how this can be maintained when the CEO of the company that makes the product is sitting right there with you. It felt more like a commercial where Audio Advice enlisted the assistance of an industry insider to sell their product, just as other companies use celebrities. While these types of videos are not uncommon and have their place, it's just not something I've seen you do before with the possible exception of JTR.
Until companies come to realize that USB-C is becoming the standard, I will continue to do without theater seating. Not only that but are blue LEDs just cheaper for companies to use because I swear EVERY freaking theater seat company insists on blue leds! Either give me an led color option or remove them imho
No mention of warranty on the site but seems like it’s only one year? That’s shady. Do they not believe in their product?
Does this chair come in different colors? I may be the only person in the world who want to white chair in my dark theater 😂
Affordable clearly means something different than what I thought, since this chair starts at over $1,200 😂.
Yes. Affordable for theater seating. Valencia sells some models for over $2,000 each. Jaymar and Cineak are MUCH more expensive.
@@Youthman I guess I just assumed we’d be talking Amazon knockoff prices. Maybe Octane.
I have only one experience with Octane and the head rests were super stiff. Not comfortable.
I'm surprised at the 99% of people don't care for USB. My kids love to watch TV on the big screen, but want to charge their phones/tablets. Of course, they aren't the target person buying the chair...
Yeah,, ,I was surprised at that too…..my devices are the first thing I connect to charge as soon s I go into my room lol
Vegan leather. How long is that going to last before it peel like PU fake leather. Real leather lasts much longer. Had a sofa last 20 years with leather. Had a bonded leather chair once, it's done within 1-2 years before cracking and peeling. It's garbage. So this plant based leather, I am highly skeptical of it lasting.
Looks like a carbon copy of "Valencia Tuscany". Did they license it out or is this plain stolen design?
King Solomon once said, “There is nothing new under the Sun.” Take a look at the Seatcraft Diamanté - www.seatcraft.com/theater-seating/seatcraft/diamante/. They were actually being made long before the Tuscany.
I know i shouldn't add this and I'm Sorry i just dont understand these type of seats. Again why make them so tall at the back? My wife and family would have no chance of hearing rear channels clearly. Why put electronic controls in a zone on the chair that may family is bound to spill soda all over? In the cup holder! Seems like the worst place to add controls if they're not water proof. Why even have lights in a" theatre" chair in the first place? when you need a room with total darkness. why add these things that just drive up the price with lights and charging. It just seem to distract from watching a film. Why not just have seats without lights and usb sockets in the seats to deal with? I like the zip crumb catching but. I'm so very clearly not the customer here. But for a theatre seat. I can't help but lean towards a regular recliner sofa seat if u wanna put your feet up and still listen to your surround sound channels with maximum quality 3 seats sofa for under $500. Anyways.. If u like them. Good for you. Enjoy
Only downside of this video is that their not remotely affordable.. if I made 150k a year then maybe. There are definitely other brands that have similar features with hardwood bases then are 1/2 the price.
It depends on what brand you are comparing them to. Have you seen the prices for Cineak? Some of their models are $4,300 per seat.
@@Youthman I am comparing them too “affordable”
Affordable is subjective though. Everyone’s affordable looks different. Most people that buy these seats very likely do not make $150,000 a year. Cars, fishing boats, RVs, ATV’s, And any number of other things cost equally as much or more. We all choose to spend money on what we find important and everyone’s budget is different. The great thing is, there are products for all budgets .
Your are correct. There not affordable for me.@@Youthman
@timothydecoursey7546 absolutely nothing wrong with that. 👍
Its more affordable than Valencia cause its fake leather which will peel. No thanks.
