Not for now... happy camper for the last several months, no itches to upgrade the SQ, the last upgrade was a netbook and dac and this was done out of convenience.

Neat!  :o

Added July 2012

Onkyo Integrated Amplifier solid state, about 65 watts
Infinity RS 4001 (1989 Model),  three way with 8 inch woofer

When I got this the infinity, it was in poor shape, tweeter was not working, Enclosure was water damaged and the enclosure was really realy dirty. I almost walked away from purchase, but I said to myself, i traveled about an hour and half to get here might as well get it, when i got home and saw all the damage parts, somehow I got buyers remorse, as it needed a lot of work.... well it paid off... the Solid state Onkyo paired with Infinity was bright, forward and in your face which is a total opposite to the tubed Cayin and Usher combo, basically I get to enjoy a wider variety of music due to the oppsing characters of each combo ...






before and after shots



still needs masilya, mahirap pala habulin yung color hehehe naka apat na attemp to get the color right


Light oak and special edition "Dark Oak"

Congrats! Likewise, I'm torn between S/S class D and tube.  :D Both have different characters for different types of music.

Btw, instead of matching the color with the same color ng masilya, you can also try a contrasting color for your masilya.

Thanks, I thought about using black putty, but since not all edges have a problem it would not be balanced, over the weekend, I may just go to a paint specialist and have my putty done there

ngayon may problema.. minsan di ko alam kung anong amp and speaker combo ang gagamitin ko. sa ngayon its just 2 systems as I can  not mix and match as the speaker terminations are different for each amp, gusto ko ma try yung Usher sa pioneer as i  have not used the Usher in a high powered  amp ever...hehehe

definitely enjoy yan set-up nyo sir :)

Actually mahilig din ako sa HT,  Yung screen size ko is about 50 feet diagonal.  I just need to pay 200 to 300 once a week to watch movies. :-). Katabi ko lang kasi yung mga Movie Houses.

Seriously may "HT setup" din ako, pero 2.1 channel lang, HK DVD player , Pioneer amp, Pioneer speakers with JBL subwoofer, but their seldom used for movies, its being used daily by my wife for her aerobic exercise.

How were you able to control the gain ng different amps feeding the tweeter and woofer, did you use an electronic crossover ?

Planning to do the same to my Usher X-719, SX1050 (120 watts/ch solid state) for the woofer and Cayin A-70T (30 watts/Ch Tube class A) for the tweets.
