salamat ulit sa mga nag-comment.

this is very close to my dream system. hopefully I am done with the audio merry go round. I consider most of them end of the road products and I am very happy with their performance. The last thing I want to upgrade in my audio system is the installation of the tubed 32 bit dac from Nova Physics - it will be a user installed kit. I am also getting close to finishing my 401.

As for my HT, one thing I want to improve is the stand. My current stand is not big enough and doesn't have enough shelves to accomodate more equipment. The Accentus is an awesome speaker, but being rear ported and quite big, I cannot crank the volume really loud as it could rattle the wall behind it. This speaker is rated at 26 hz, but outputting more bass than the VR5 which is rated 20 hz. I've heard how good this speakers can be when driven by Lamm, I now got the Arcam AVR 300 on bi-amp mode (channel 6&7 assigned to bi-amp the front channels) but even at total of 200 watts per channel, I feel it is now lacking the inner detail. I cannot move the speaker too far away from the wall because it won't look good, and the "boss" will disapprove. Well, I guess we cannot have it all. It is playing good enough sound, although the glare from the tv can be distracting sometimes. We are movie buffs and we use this system quite a bit.

We now have 6 working tv's inside our house already and I don't think we need another one, but after watching the scene where Matthew Mc Conaughey was playing Wii on a supersized screen in Tropic Thunder -I lusted for a 120" PJ more and more, and the Wii of course.  No, I don't need a projection system. no. As previously mentioned, I was considering a bigger lcd too - but I am concerned the glare (sound) from the reflection on the TV screen can screw up the sound of my main audio system..  Costco offered $700 discount on BenQ W5000 last Xmas, I almost pulled the trigger, but let the promo go away.

So, I am just playing it cool for now, hopefully the itch will go away.

Pag may ganitong system pwede na kahit ma-layoff,  close up pics naman ng units
huwag naman sana. my main system is drawing 10 amps - kailangan ko nang pambayad sa koryente  :'(

yes.

more pics, I hope you don't mind.

Wow dimfer...your set-up is cool and cozy.  I also see proudly filipino made gears.

I am sure with the tubes you are in for a non-ear fatiguing listening sessions for both HT and Audio.

Congrats.

thanks Joey. Yup, I have Mang Rod's 6c33c-b amps, Musika pre-amp with separate power supply, TVC (Transformer Volume Control) and V-Capped Compactron with separate power supply. BTW, I've read MR & Puresound (LSA or Ambiance speakers) will share a room at the hi-fi show this Nov 7 & 8. Check them out.

I watch concert dvd's quite a bit, it sounds cool really. Although I must confess I could notice some glare when listening critically (forward sounding), probably from the 50" Sony screen. I intend to cover tv screen with an absorptive material for audio only sessions. But I am still keeping the Arcam AVR.

I am very happy with the performance of my two systems. They are both good in their own way.

I like them both very much. The Von Schweikert VR5 Anniversary will satisfy many discriminating audiophiles for a long time. My other speaker, similar to Aurum Cantus Supreme is very musical and can be very seductive when paired with amps that can drive it properly. I think I am set for a long time... but you know this hobby, mahirap magsalita ng tapos.
