Nice set-up!

Nice. All equipment are well-chosen and the rack looks beautiful.

How do you find the SB-13 Plus?

Edit: SB-13, not PB-13

Sir Mark at first it was weaker than the PB10 SPL-wise although definitely more agile and tuneful. I reversed the phase to 180 and increased the volume to -18 dB and now I can feel the LF in the chest as it shakes the room nicely.

sir John,

that's a big display!

in my 2600cuft bedroom, i have my SB13Plus at -15 volume (0db at receiver) but i think i have set mine to at least 3db hot.

are the sides of the rack open? baka ma-overheat yung PS3 if not.

sir mark,

di ka kasi pumunta to listen

meron kumuha today ng SB13Plus, and mukhang gumana yung special water ko, he's now thinking of the M series speakers

sir iiinas,

cough SB13Plus naman cough

WoooW!

Another Great Setup!....

Congrats!..

Sides of the rack are straked so well ventilated siya. Got this rack from LIS.

The SPL metern you sent arrived just as I YPAO'd the speakers. Appreciate the service Mike.

Thank you gentlemen for the welcome and the kind words.

It's far too early to tell Louie as there are just so many options on the AVR that I haven't began exploring yet. It sounds fine on the MA's on 5.1 movies using an unprocessed decode Yamaha calls STRAIGHT. The speakers are barely over 10 hours run in.

Billabong · « **Reply #17 on:** Oct 22, 2011 at 11:20 PM »

Nice gears sir!

Just a suggestion.. Maybe you can wall-mount the TV to free up space for the other equipments. Then place the center on top of the shelf para at ear level siya. Most likely may improvement din yan sa sound dahil hindi na siya naka enclose sa gitna nung rack.

May type of wall mount na adjustable so you can move the TV forward para hindi nakadikit sa wall.

Billabong, that is something I would love to do except the wall behind is ply wood so it won't hold the 70-lbs TV. I would really appreciate suggestions from builders on how to solve this.

as long as you hit the solid vertical 2x2's at the back, i think puwede i-mount. but you might need the one they use in the US to detect the solid parts. (kasi the katok katok style might hit the edge of the vertical wood)

un nga sana itatanong ko kung castle line filter..musta naman ang performance sir?

lithium_deuteride · « **Reply #28 on:** Oct 24, 2011 at 10:44 AM »

Si Mr. H kasi ang supplier nun.

Good bang for the buck performance at build quality yung Castle - ang dami pang outlets - 12. It's rated to handle 3000-watts I believe.

I need to replace the 2000-watt Yaden AVR with a 3000-watter na tahimik. Can't find the thread where someone was selling Imarflex AVR's.
