good afternoon

i have a blu-ray player connected sa LCDTV. im planning po sana na dagdagan, pero di ko alam kung amplifier or receiver ang ibibili ko due to limited budget.

Mga sir, sa tingin nyo po kung amplifier ang bilihin ko, anung klaseng amplifier po at anong speakers ang pwede sa kanya. Ganun din po sa receiver..

Thanks in advance.

may nakita kse ako kanina lang sa isang mall na konzert amplifier...

[warmaster]

may nakita kse ako kanina lang sa isang mall na konzert amplifier...

reserve konzert amplifiers for videoke sessions, but if you want a better home movie experience go for a multi channel AVR

[eyeyousee™]

my receiver is onkyo tx-sr313 (65 W/Ch. 8 Ohms, 20 Hz–20 kHz, 0.7% THD, 2 Channels Driven, FTC)

Kaya ba nito yung polkaudio RTia1 which has 8 ohms Nominal Impedance and a 20-125 watts per channel recommended power amp.?

Thanks ulit!

pede na yan siguro sir, kahit 2 speakers pa per channel.

ito po sakin, DIY nga lang Modefied  Yamaha P3500s kaya nya 4 speakers na TNT 1000W double magnet.




maraming salamat po pinoyDVD

QUESTION mga sirs :

If my AVR has a pre-out,  pwede ba kong mag connect dun going to my integrated AMP then speakers?
Will just use it pag mag play ako ng digital audio.

Do AVRs have features  where I can select between the pre-out  and  non-pre out? 
please pardon my ignorance on such terms and jargons.

Gusto ko sanang set up eh,  padaanin ko sa AVR ang digital audio ko, then labas sa pre-out going to my integrated amp.
Then pag movies, sa HT speakers.

pwede ba to mga sirs?  sorry kung magulo tanong ko.

3. pwede ba to mga sirs?  sorry kung magulo tanong ko.

1. Yes.

2. usually, yun zone 2 preout is always available.

3. You might also want to consider an automatic speaker switcher from Don King Markcrenz.

[ponky26]

1. Yes.

thanks for the prompt reply Sir Nelson.

I was also thinking of a switcher.

follow up question,  if I have two sets of speakers ( 2.0 for audio,  5.1 for HT ),  can I connect them at the same time to my AVR ? We'll just select which one to be used. 
considering the above metrics are met. 5.1 AVR with pre out ?


thanks

Kasama sa assumption natin dito yun intagrated amp where the 2.0 speakers are conected tama? If yes, then it's ok.

Mga masters and gurus of Audiophile i have question in my mind and I hope someone can help me

Do i need equalizer to my system?

I have yamaha receiver with marcopilyo amp4v2 and pioneer sub

A bookshelves and planning to buy a 3 way LEFT and Right loudspeaker...

Ano po bang magagawa ng equalizer pag bumili po ako nito?

Mas maganda po ba ang bagong equalizer or yung mga old models?

I play different kind of music but most of the time Hiphop/RNB like dubstep, lilwayne,remix etc.etc. and Alternative/OPM( Linkin park/parokya ni edgar/rivermaya etc etc) sometimes lang po lovesong and oldies song  ...

I hope someone could help me decide if I really need this stuff...

Hindi ako audiophile pero let me try to answer your question. If ok naman sa iyo yun sound ng system mo, you don't need an equalizer. Check mo din yan receiver mo baka may EQ na din yan.

Purpose of EQ is for room correction and/or if you want to boost certain frequencies to your liking. Pwedeng gumanda, pwede din hindi depende sa tuning (or preference sound) mo.

Preset equalizer meron sir like Concert Hall, Jazz Club, Disco, Rock Concert yung mga common po sa receiver...
Sabi po kasi ng friend ko mas lalakas daw pag gumamit ako ng equalizer +/-6 dB daw po ang ilalakas and kung bibili naman po ako ang sabi nya yung mga bagong equalizer daw po is matigas ang bass unlike  ng mga luma malambot...Mixer na nga lang po sana ibuy ko kaso hindi naman ako mahilig magmix ng music continous playing lang po...

Unless may line driver yan, it's possible na lumakas. Pero hindi ko sure kung kaya ng 6 db. Parang double amp power na yun. Normally speaking, ang electronic EQ dati, and ngayon, dapat walang pinagkaiba ang bass. And, as what an average person percieve as matigas or malambot, for me, is nasa frequency na ilalabas ng track.

Thanks master Nelson... kakareview ko lang din ng EQ sa youtube it can remove unnecessary noise pala so I think i need this stuff...

Last question master nelson if I change my subwoofer to a single 18 inches subwoofer with the same enclosure of marco rather than purchasing another 12 inch sub can i still get the same gapang effect... 

I want to save room space kasi sana pag 2 pcs kasi masyado na malaki...hehe

Normally, wala dapat noise ang system mo. Kung may hiss or loud hum (excluding tube system), may problem ang system mo. you need to fix your system, not EQ it. By EQing the hiss (not recorded) of your system, you also sacrifice the details in the recording that the recording company wants you to hear. Example, may hiss sa 10khz due to faulty amp, by lowering the 10khz freq, yun mga decay/extension ng voice, cymbals, ma-le-lessen

Though there are unnecessary noises din na kasama sa recording, why would you want that removed? Masarap madinig yun ubo ng mga musicians from the back etc.  Ano yun unnecessary noise na sinasabi mo?

Normally, bigger drivers would require bigger enclosures to maximize it's output and tuning. My 15" sub has more than 8 cubic feet of area. Pwede siguro, i seal mo na lang. But make sure na kaya ng pilyo amp mo ang 18" sealed. And prior to replacing it, kakasya pa ba yun 18" subwoofer (width and/or depth) sa enclosure? Baka naman pwede na ang 15" sa iyo. or add passive radiator sa 15" or 18" sub enclosure. pero, ang alam ko, kasing price na ng sub ang mga passive radiators.

Sa noise sir maybe hindi lang kaya ng bookshelves ko yung music na pinapatugtog ko like Dubstep and Skillrex  meron mga noise dun na it looks like it can't handle by the bookshelve speaker distorted and output nya kahit nasa 10 o clock pa lang ang volume knob ng receiver ko and since im still searching for a big Left and Right with a good woofer and tweeter im still searching if equalizer or mixer can add more enhancement to the bass, mid and hi...

haha... parang nakukulangan pa ako sa lakas ng sub ko master nelson im still thinking if i will get another sub of marco or change it to 18 inches like what i see in lab of marcopilyo haha ... magpapalit din po ako ng enclosure syempre galing pa rin po kay sir marco kapag nag 18 inch ako na sub...amp4v2 can handle naman po up to 2kw...

I got your point na. I think you don't need an EQ. You need a bigger and more powerful speaker for that. I think yun noise is, either yun amp or speaker mo ang hirap na. Boosting certain frequencies ng music via EQ will only add stress to your already stressed gears. And the mere fact that nabitin ka sa low frequency ng 12" pilyo sub, music apps pa alng, that means malakas ka talaga magpatugtog. I would suggest sana, mga pro audio speakers kung ganyan ka kalakas magpatugtog kaso from your posts above, maliit lang ang room mo. Though may mga pro audio speakers na stand mounted. Teka, ano ba ang bookshelf speaker mo? Baka naman sobrang liit talaga.

Daichi and JBL po 5 inches woofer lang po ito kaya maliit tlaga hehe and 50W rms 8ohms lang which is not enough for my Yamaha receiver na 65W RMS... Pag nag loudspeaker naman po ako i think receiver should follow because my yamaha receiver has a maximum of 80W RMS only... Good pair na po kaya yung Aaudio charisma na for sale sa speaker marketplace plus my the marco sub or should i get loudspeaker 3 way diy from marcopilyo again...

kaya naman pala. Akala ko katamtaman size. Anyway, best option would be to bring your avr and audition different speakers and see which would fit your preference. last resort mo na ang EQ, final tweaking, only if necessary.

Ehh hello, paClarify lang... because I am getting mixed answers from googling/binging about the "SW+" setting on my receiver on the internet. (yes I use 2 search engines )

Does the setting "SW+" mean that mapupunta lahat ng Bass sa subwoofer regardles of your speaker size settings?
OR
It means pagnaka Large ang setting mo sa front speakers, mapupunta rin ang Bass sa both subwoofer and sa Front Speakers?

Thanks mga master.

If you set your Fronts to Large and enable the sub at the same time. All low frequency will be directed to both your Speaker and Sub..

Ay sorry, bale sa settings kasi merong SW na settings with Normal or SW+ ang option

Di ko alam difference.

ok thanks ulit.

I think yung SW+ is if you want to use your Sub even with speakers set to Large...

Normally kasi sa AVR when you set your speakers to Large, walang pupuntang LFE sa sub.. by enabling the SW+ gagana pa din sub mo even with Large settings of speakers. When normal, gagana ang Sub mo only if your speaker setting is set to small..
