For me, SONY for its SACD capability, PANASONIC for DVD-Audio and CD playback but for movies and cd playback, definitely Pioneer.

Philander · « **Reply #12 on:** Aug 03, 2004 at 05:03 PM »

For HTIB, i'll choose the Pioneer (the models that supports SACD and DVD-Audio)

Yup, the Pioneer Universal HTIB is good but too expensive. You can already setup a decent separates having same features and better AV quality for its price.

I completely agree, that's why we still opted for separates.

I was already supposed to buy a pioneer HTz700 a few months ago, but after auditioning them, I found the bass lacking (most have 75w subs). "Matining" ang sound, parang LATA. Or maybe the salesperson did not know how to adjust the settings.

I saw the JBL 6 speaker (75w satellite) system and the sound was truly awesome for satellite speakers, maybe due in part to its great 100 w subs. There is also a 100 w version of the satellites. But its a speaker package & not a HTIB cuz you need to buy the amp separately.

With regards to the LX8000sa anf the MX5700. I would choose the LX8000 simply because it has a faroudja DCDi. Though I have no confirmation yet if this DCDi makes a lot of difference as a high end progressive scan, the price of an separate DCDi player would make me favor buying the LX8000sa.

Porma and malakas ang MX5700 but it uses passive subs while the LX uses active subs, which makes the LX better IMO. Sayang, the speakers are just 35w each. I have auditoned the LX and it sounds good, but the JBL system would blow you away.

MAtZTER · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 26, 2004 at 11:39 AM »

Anyway, I ended up buying separates & I never regretted the decision. Separates sound so much better cuz the speakers are bigger and better sounding, its also more flexible & easy to upgrade (gastos nga lang). But if you have a small room & you hate making "kalikot" to your system, HTIB is OK.

I am also about to buy the LX8000 soon just for its SACD player w/ DCDi, then I will sell the speakers. I hope I wont regret this experiment...

Thats great! When I was shopping around for my HT last year 2004, I almost bought the JBL SCS260.6. It was the best sounding satellite speakers I have auditioned. Galing ng bass nyan and hindi bitin.

In the end I opted for tower speakers cuz it sounded better, kahit masikip na sa house

.

By the way, the first time I went to www.htib.com, even the site itself admitted that "HTIB's dont compare to the quality of separates, but is a good alternative or secondary HT system (for smaller rooms, etc.)".

jettt · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 08, 2005 at 02:10 AM »

Try the JVC THA/THM series, they offer DVD-audio/MP3/WMA playback... medyo kapos nga lang ang bass ng sub (since passive nga lang sha

) but at least youll get a descent sound, may 1 or 2 optical inputs pa sha dava...?

Pokendi · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 10, 2005 at 08:09 AM »

Thanks pre, Satified na ko d2 sa separate i'll try to upgrade by JBL SCS260.6 to Infinity Primus series cguro mga after 2 years pa, sa Bedroom HTIB na lang gamitin ko, try ko din audition yang JVC THA/THM series...

Pre, not sure dyan sa Pinas kasi based ako dito sa Singapore. But I dont want to recommend this model there anymore. Although ok yung performancenya, masyadong mapili dun sa mga PDVD na available dyan.

Trixter · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 28, 2005 at 09:47 AM »

Pre, I've found a JVC TH-A35 in a store in a mall here in Phil. They sell it for 19K. Ok naman ang pag read nya. In fact yung salesperson pa nga nag lagay ng diff types of pirated DVD's. Ako din nag lagay ng mga dala ko DVD. Ok naman sya. Yun lang ba CONS nya. What do you think about the price here? Mahal ba?

Trixter · « **Reply #24 on:** Apr 10, 2005 at 02:30 PM »

I've seen the TEAC PL-D2100 in a mall here in Quezon City. Ang level daw nito is same with Kenwood? 5.1 sya. DTS multi-region and ganda ng sound nya! Is this good? Any feedbacks?

Lahat pwedeng palitan, coz most active subwoofers have high level inputs anyway. So kahit yung speaker wires from your HTIB ang kabit mo, oks pa rin. This is what I did in my transition period from our old Yamaha DVR-S60 to my Yamaha/Wharfe separates setup, when my first step was to get a sub.
