Its coming today! I will be installing it tomorrow. Grabe, I was sleepless last night thinking of this (and how to wall mount the LCD TV)  ;D.


Thanks Bro  :)

I read somewhere that the room comprises 50% of the listening experience, a THX guy said this I think. So I decided to put some budget on the listening room rather than upgrade the gears. And I do believe it worked. My upgrade itch for audio has stopped (or slowed down significantly).

Too bad I cant say the same for my upgrade itch for video.  ;D

Bro whats coming home today,the PJ or the LCD? dami mo kasi project eh ha ha ha. May welcome home party ba? ;D congrats in advance.Bro hindi mo use yung saber plasma/lcd rack for your new lcd?

The PJ is finally coming.

I will be using the Sabre wall mount for the bedroom. I do not think its safe to use the other tables (for now) cuz there is a very active kid around the house who just learned how to walk. He might knock over the TV. ;D.

But I will still use Sabre Crescendus A (2 sets) for the HT room though.

*********************

Btw, I got PM that the pics of MAtZTER's Den are also being posted by people in another website (skyscrapercity.com.) Would anyone care to post a link to the thread where these pics were posted? TIA  :)

I will be installing it pa lang tomorrow. Anyway, you & I will have our xmas party on Saturday, you are welcome to come earlier to watch a movie here.

I will also invite our OFWs  :D from Poland, Mon & Conch over so we could go straight to the party afterwards. I just got off the phone with them now.

Thanks  :). But my only officemate is my secretary and my kargador. Its not appropriate to have them watch HT at our house. hehe  ;D

Thanks Ricky. Apparently this thread is apparently being referenced by another international site on condo living, there were very funny comments there.

Hey guys from skyscrapercity.com , I will answer your inquiries here in this site soon.  ;D

YAWN! kakagising ko lang.... ;D joke.

I woke up at 1am to find my wife sleeping with my son in his room, so I also went to sleep...with the Panny 900 ;D, then saw ricky's text at 3am while playing some DVDs, haha!

I watched STEALTH last night with some of my wife's friends and at 720p and 100 inches viewing size, the PJ was just awesome, jaw dropping and it can project a great image even with some ambient light on. I have seen better of course, but I wont pay 1.3 million pesos for it (the PJ at the Nov. HiFi show).  ;D. Marlai, bili na!

The PJ experience was simply amazing, one that even my old 50 inch TV could not match. All the details are so visible & vivid, I could only think of how much of this experience I missed since I started the DVD hobby, so now I plan to rewatch those movies again on the PJ! I am so glad we chose this option over a plasma or whatever for the HT room.

I will be posting some pics soon, the wires of the AV components are still a horrible mess as of now.

Shhh! Nanunuod ako ng DVD... ;D

Bro, you really should post your setup. Its really very nice! NakakaSARS yung audio setup mo! very detailed..Sayang lang, you cant turn up the volume of your Velo cuz of your neighbors...

Thanks so much for your hospitality yesterday. Your house is very warm & cozy. I really enjoyed watching your DTS-ES X-rated films in your setup ;D...joke..

Thanks bro, I dont regret waiting several months for the AE900. But I dont think the prices will fall by January. Baka ma miss mo yung free screen) promo, sige ka!

Pero you dont need to buy yet, I suggest after the honeymoon na. baka di ka maka-concentrate sa honeymoon mo pag may AE900 ka sa HT mo... hahaha.  ;D

congrats on your new pj! it will be interesting to follow your posts to see how your dvd viewing preferences change. cheers.

Thanks Boss!  :)

Hahaha!  ;D

Anyway, just wanted to post some setups I did for my close friends and relatives:


I did this many months ago (April) . The owner had a tight budget but it was for 2 HTs. The other one is with her game room w/ a Samsung plasma TV. We used JBL SCS 260.6 system. I couldnt find the pic of the plasma setup.

 Wala pang Sabre racks that time so my friend looked for other stands and I didnt like the one she chose..Thus the idea of selling better design AV racks at affordable prices :)

Samsung 55 DLP
Samsung HD748 720p, 1080i upconverting player.
Yamaha 450
Mission M32 & M30i
Mission M3c1
Wharfedale SW150
*** speaker stands


I installed this HT 2 months ago for my sister and asked her to wait for the Sabre plasma rack.

I was only able to install the plasma table last night...Their only comment: "it was worth the wait!"

Hitachi 42PD300TA Plasma
Yamaha 650
Velodyne CHT-10
Samsung HD938 w/ DVI for 720p 1080i upconversion
Monitor Audio S6
Monitor Audio B center
Wharfedale 9.DFS
Sabre Centauri A Plasma rack

PS, I dont do this commercially :D

Thanks munskie.

I like the way Jairus put it : 
Indeed, I literally squeezed this HT room into the living room just to accommodate our hobby. The initial design of the place wasnt like this. I had to tear down a few walls & a doorway and put up a few walls just tosqueeze this setup in our tiny 80 sqm place.  ;D. With this area, a dedicated HT room w/ these gears is impossible.  :D.


Its bit late to post this, but I found the original plan of the unit:


After 6 (or maybe more) revisions, several sleepless nights:


Note the path to the kitchen now has a new wall and the storage area was reduced to give way to a path to the kitchen. Sliding door added to kitchen to confine the airconditioning in the Dining & living room.

Maybe this idea would help those in skyscrapercity.com on renovating their condo units.  :)

We discovered it gives better sound due to the acoutic properties of the divisoria rug...joke. :D

The floorstanders has spikes kasi, para di magasgas yung sahig. Yung owners na naglagay nyan.

Will you be joining skyscrapercity soon to give some tips for CGS dwellers or soon to be owners?

Bro, I forgot to tell you, they can ask their questions here in this thread, I dont think I can check that thread from time to time. I will answer the best I can. I will send you PM on another matter.

Pare bakiiiiit inalis mo yung bar????? ??? ??? ??? para LANG SA HT room? Dapat yung dining ang inalis mo para bar and ht room lang ok na! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Di pa kasi kita kilala noon. hayaan mo next time pag build ko ng dream house ko gagawa ako ng bar para sa atin...and mga gulaman boys like Hans, jetok,akyat, s2kov, rony, new age, punk kid, audioslave, iceman...hi guys!!!   MERRY XMAS!!!
