Thanks Sir Louie. I use a pair of Zensor 1's for the LR
I like the details of these small speakers. But it's the Vokals that convinced me.
Mostly for movies ko ginagamit sir Louie. Di ko pa masyado nagagamit for audio since I have another set-up for that
For me enough na to fill the room ang Zensor 1's. Was initially considering the Zensor 5 kaya lang mas crispy ang highs ng 1's kaya I went for them instead (besides mas mura siya). I love how it delivers details sa movie without being harsh

Doc, Very nice touch on the planks! Very nice setup :-)

Thanks sir oyie. Bagay na bagay yung kulay sa Dali's light walnut

IMHO, as long as you continue to browse PDvd, the itch will never leave you.  ;D


Bakit nga ba ganun???? Pero parang hindi kumpleto araw ko pag hindi ako nakasilip dito sa PDVD.... Dahil healthy at very active ang Market dito, parang nakakapag-Upgrade na din ako everyday kahit MIRON lang hehe.

By experience sir, masarap kasi kamutin eh. Until sumakit na at dumugo ang bulsa, haha.
Sometimes mas madali tiisin ang pain over itch ;D

Congrats Sir very nice setup!
Thanks sir

Of course Sir Donnel anytime kaya lang I'm sure sa ganda ng mga gear niyo baka naman ma disappoint kayo sa set-up ko, hehe. Although ayos din yan para kung may mga suggestions ka regarding treatment and positioning maka-benefit ako from your experience.
Dami pa ko kailangan gawin sa treatment, halos makeshift lahat ng treatment ko, hehe
Come to think of it, matagal ko na din di nakikita si Doc Tabs

Naku Doc...si Doc Tabs lang ang matindi gamit, ako puro pinaglumaan lang.  ;)  Let me know Doc the best time to visit you, sana masilip mo din ginawa ko treatment kay Doc Tabs para marinig at makita mo. Yang kwarto nya ang aking showcase ngayon, you will hear how a 22sqm room sounded so well.  :)

Two things that really interest me
Finally got my Olympus OM-D EM5 this weekend, woot-woot! Testing...

Those wood fiber cones give the Dali's a character unique to each loudspeaker


Parang magkapatid...come to think of it, magkababayan naman sila


Dynes still singing through Master Cal's cables

Thanks sir.
Since I got my new camera medyo napapa-tambay ako sa kabilang forums hehe.
But of course di ko pa napapabayaan ang pdvd...
By the way, just an update on my Aikido pre-amp...
At this point, I'm already around 235 hours of burn-in time...

Here are the changes that I have noticed:
1. Bass is detailed yet deep bass
2. Voice and the dynamics are livelier

IAt this point, I know I should be setting my focus on room treatment, medyo naguguluhan pa ko on how to proceed with it lang. My main problem actually are the stuff that are in the attic. Wala ako mapaglipatan, hehe
