you can consider any decent HTIB... there are lots of models in the market of different brands...

If you could possibly consider pre-owned stuff, try to find an AVR for around 7K-8K and then try to work out with DIY Master about a possible 12K-13K set of speakers.  I think you wont be able to include a subwoofer muna for that amount, so sa next ipon nalang yon.  Gamitin mo muna ang fronts for LFE tutal tight naman ang 9 sqm na space.  Or perhaps get 3 speakers (2 fronts + subwoofer) muna.  I think that would sound fuller than most HTIBs.  Hindi mo nga kailangan ang loud because of your room size, but you would still want a fuller sound kahit hindi mo malakas ang volume dahil sa kabitbahay - nagagalit ba kapitbahay sa ingay?

Problem with spending good money on an HTIB, you might end wanting to upgrade to a full size HT soon.  In that case, mapapamahal ka lang lalo.  So I would suggest na kahit hindi mo makumpleto agad ang full 5.1 system within 20K, then paisa-isa nalang muna.

Kung masikip ang room, maganda rin sanang combination ang sound bar + rack type subwoofer.  Tamang-tama sa 9sqm yon. Kaso aabutin ka rin ng over 20K kung isasama mo yung amplifier.

sir,

if it's just a small room, you're only considering b-new, and you're on a less than 20k budget, HTIB would be the best way to go ... some sellers here like Oysterboy and Remal Sales have HTIB's starting at 8k+

another way to go is if you can spare a few more pesos is to buy a 32-inch tv and package it with an HTIB - the HTIB gets heavily discounted ... i saw Remal Sales selling 32-inch Panasonic 32c10x LCD TV for 20k, then just add 6k for HTIB .... this makes for a total home theater package

[audiojunkie]

I think, Onkyo 5.1 package consist of entry level AVR + small BS speakers and Sub... 

also check other brands with same package...  prices varies according to model and package...

Just want to add, if you are comfortable with DIY you may want to add an external Lattice Phase Equalizer circuit (connected to the output of your DVDP and AVR or amplifier). Should cost less than Php 200.00. Please PM me is you want the schematics and Bill of Materials.

ano po purpose nyan sir?...baka kailangan ko din? thanks

Iyung Lattice Phase Equalizer naglalagay ng phase shift o delay sa audio signal para maging mas distinct mga musical instruments. Mas mababa frequency mas mataas ang phase shift o time delay. Kapag meron ka nito hindi sabay sabay ang dating ng LF, MF at HF.

Binebenta niyo ito sir? Same din sa harmony or different?

[rascal101]

Hindi ako nagbebenta nito. Nag-share lang ako nitong technology para sa mga members dito.

Galing ito sa patent ni Otto Zobel (patent 1,792,523 noong 1931) at base sa experiments ko puwede gamitin pang audio at home theater. Since expired na iyung patent, puwede ng gamitin ng publiko.

Iba po iyung technology gamit ko sa Harmony.

[rascal101]

Ito po iyung link sa Lattice Phase Equalizer

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_phase_equaliser

Ito po ang schematic diagram ng sirketong ginawa ko.



Puwede niyong paglaruan iyung R3. Subukan niyong gawin 1Kohm o mas mababa.

Hindi na po ako nag compute sa sirketong iyan. Dumampot na lang ako ng nakita kong mga piyesa sa bench ko.

Kung gusto niyo makita ng mas buo iyung sirketo, right click po kayo sa picture i-save niyo iyung image at buksan sa paint o anumang picture viewer.
