MGA SIR ASK KO LNG PO... BAGO P LNG PO KC AKO WITH THIS HOBBY AND BAGONG KASAL DIN AKO AT THE SAME TYM... LAMO NA MEJO MAGASTOS, E SINCE ADIK NMAN TLGA KO SA HOMe theater, i still pursued on buying my ht set... ang first kong binili is a generic brand ng sub wuth 5.1 speakers w/c at the end nagsisis ako kc ampanget tlga ng tunog and d sha decoded... so i bought a semi decent receiver para decoded nman ung tunog. tapos ung dati kong mga speakers from my crappy 5.1 ang kinabit ko dun... eventually, i noticed na pumapalakpak na ung mga front kc 10 watts lng pala un... (actually sinisira ko rin para payagan na ko bumili ni misis) so im planning to buy new set of speakers... but my dad told me na sayang nman daw ung baffles ng speaker ko dati kc wood din in fairness... galing akong raon kanina & i checked ung mga 4 inches na mga dai-ichi na replacement ko sana dun sa dati... advisable po ba un? wala kc kong friend na kaparehas ko ng hobby so tatanong lang po ako sa inyo mga kuya... penge pong tips... thanks po
Hi, bro, congrats on the marriage thing and welcome to the club. I've learned the hard way when I decided to get into this hobby, never had too many friends who were into this thing then, and I never found out yet about PinoyDVD then too, which would have saved me a lot of money, trouble and time. First, I've learned that there are some things that just can't be compromised. Everything about your system has to be decent, at least, for you to be satisfied. I suggest, getting speakers that would fit your budget but speakers that are decent. Speakers that are made by reputable speaker manufacturers, not speakers that are made by anybody like some unknown chinese brand. Now the lowest priced speakesr I know of that are pretty decent are from Konzert, then Daiichis, then Wharfedales. That's from lowest to not so low.
Now, this hobby is gonna require a lot of patience, some money, and some time. You have to arm yourself with a lot of knowledge for you to make the right decisions that would be right for you, too. PionyDVD is certainly a venue that would be a big help. For the smallest budgets, HTIBs or Home Theater in a Box, would be most feasible. Separates would perform better and would give you more options, but, of course, cost a little bit more. Analog systems are less expensive than system that use digital amps or receivers, then so on and so forth.... My rule of thumb has always been, and it has guided me well, "buy the best technology/equipment that you can afford". There are more answers that can be found here at PDVD to more questions that you have and will have as you get into this hobby more and more, I'm sure the guys here at PDVD will be happy to help. Good luck.
