Guys plan to setup for HT pero bitin pa pera ko. Gusto ko muna sana unahin 1 pr speaker and a receiver.
Bigyan nyo naman ako magandang combination ng Sound system na di ko pagsisisihan. Ganito gusto ko magyari sa budget ko 75%-AVR, 25%-Speaker.
Thanks.
catgreg2k2,Here's a good starting point for music/HT:
For receiver:
Onkyo TX-SR 701 or 702(newer model): Price 37,000 This one is a THX-select certified receiver; DVD-A/SACD ready with 5.1 analog inputs and preouts,
7.1 channel capable; 192khz/24 bit DAC's; lots of reserve power should you decide to upgrade to larger
floorstanding speakers in the future; also has 'pure audio' or 'direct' mode. Excellent for both
music listening and movies.
For speakers:
B&W DM600 s3:
Price 15,000Nice starting point to give you a 'feel' and 'taste' of what high quality, high fidelity sound is all about.
These are small bookshelf speakers that sound just as good as floorstanders costing several times
as much. Limited bass response though, but will serve well with music. When you upgrade,
you should make these speakers your surround speakers and buy B&W floorstanders (for front),
center speaker, and a Velodyne subwoofer (CHT/CHT-R series). These speakers will give you serious,
audiophile quality sound for both movies and music listening.
Here's the price breakdown summary:
Receiver - Onkyo TX SR 701/702: P37,000 (71% of total cost)
Speakers - B&W DM600 s3: P15,000 (29% of total cost)
=======================
Grand Total: P52,000
Actually, these are retail prices so you can negotiate for lower prices
to avoid exceeding your P50,000 budget.
