The Athena Micra 6 is a speaker package that consists of 4 satellite,center speaker,and a sub. I use to think that it is a HTIB. Thanks for the info.

saw the HTS 570 at sm appliance center. looking for something decent and cheap with opticals for my dvd player and xbox.

you might want to check this out. i started a thread on this.

thanks sir....

pero i think thats way over my budget...

kung pwede nga, second hand... anybody?

antikryst · « **Reply #64 on:** Oct 24, 2007 at 04:07 PM »

got it na and its fantastic for 21k...0% on 12 months.

ive been searching forever as well and this was the cheapest solution i found with 2 opticals and 1 coax. others just have 1 optical extra. theres a toshiba i think that has a dvd player included for around 14k.

how about yung yamaha tss?

my room is quite small kasi.. i think ok na tong tss.. how much na kaya ngayon ang
yamaha tss?

antikryst · « **Reply #66 on:** Oct 25, 2007 at 12:29 PM »

if this is the entry level yamaha htib i checked...around 15k..problem is it only has 1 optical input so that didnt work for me. there is also an onkyo entry level htib without a dvd player selling for less than 20. again, only 1 optical input.

i really need 2 so i chose the pioneer.

optical 1: xbox
optical 2: future upgrade (hd dvd player)
coax 1: current dvd player

this is why i need 2 opticals. i have no problems using my future hd dvd player as my primary dvd player...although since i am planning to get it from the States (soon) it will be locked to region 1.

What do you think is the best HTIB out there for HD players?

thanks sir. but isnt that thread just for lcd's and plasma's? I checked some of the pages..

meron kaya ng ganito. Our office will be getting a lcd and htib for our function/conference room. I think the karaoke feature will be very useful sa room na to. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Hi Friends,

Im pretty new to this forum and im thinking of getting a HTIB with HDMI upscalling features na. Can you please give me your recommendations and pricing narin. I was thinking of getting a wireless one for the sorround speakers na para no wires masyado but im not sure if this would compromise the sound quality

your thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

How big is your room? For a small bedroom, an HTIB might do but for a bigger room or open area baka mabitin ka. Also, if ever you go for an HTIB, stop browsing this site or else you might get infected with a very prevalent disease here, SARS.

steelcrazy · « **Reply #79 on:** Jun 06, 2008 at 12:00 AM »

Check out pioneer and perhaps u may like it and be included in your list too.

hi, my room is only about 4mx5m =)

I would suggest the new Jamo HTiB system. (I think it is about 27K)
Player/receiver: DMR 70
Speaker: A 102 HCS 5

or the
Sony DAV-DZ555K (20K)

both have HDMI outputs

I have not listened to them so I cannot comment on them. I was not impressed with the samsung ht-x30 when I demonstrated it. It is best if you can try each one yourself and see which one fits your taste but the Philips HTS3548 looks good on paper.

Don't you have any plans of going separates?

20 sqm (4x5m) is already mid-sized. if you already have a dvd player, you would need just a receiver, 5 speakers, and a sub. If you're not picky, there are a lot of bargain finds in the buy and sell section for pre-owned receivers as low as 8k. You can buy 5 Wharfedale Speakers brand new for 14.5k (9.1 at 5.5k/pair,9c at 4.5k, and 9dfs at 4.5k/pair). Finallly, there is a DTX 4.15 sub in the B&S section at 6k.

So for a little over your budget, you would get a much better sounding system that would immunize you temporarily from the much dreaded SARS.

Just my 2 cents

Separates are really awesome but very vulnerable to SARS virus. It's up to you to decide

20 sqm is a big room for HTiB, Separates would be better. But truth is, it may cost more than 20k to satisfy.

But bottomline is, as long as you (are sure that you) arent picky with the sound then HTiB will do. Satisfaction is relative & subjective to each person.

If you are satisfied, I repeat what other members have said: DO NOT browse these HT forums anymore to avoid upgrade disease

. Dont audition separates in specialty shops or join EB's going to high end setups

! Go straight to the DVD discussions na lang and promote buying original DVD's!

DVD collecting will set your wallet back even more! I know people with DVD collections that are more expensive than their formidable HT setups.

thanks everyone for the suggestions. i'm not really picky in terms of HTiB since i don't really know that much in terms of this technology. same reason why i don't opt into assembling the HT by myself. right now, no plan upgrades as well in the near future since i still have other things to buy cause i'm building a new room for me. i just want to have clear picture, better sound (compared to ordinary component system).

currently i have the following in my list:
Philips HTS3548
Sony DAV-DZ555K
Pioneer (no specific model yet, any recommendations?)

hope i can make the right choice given all your expertise. i still have a week to decide.
