Hi Alvin! Happy New Year!
Nahula ko nga na ang Panamorph lens ay kasama sa secret project mo but not the curved screen and the 4 subs. 
By the way, is the Statement A2 amp new?
Now, you can't just post these pictures without explaining each piece of equipment (D2, Panamorph, curved screen, subs; d na bale a35), its unique features and your impression of their performance! Kung wala explanation, cruelty to SARS-afflicted animals yun!
I am also quite amused na nagawa mo DIY ang subs, screen and panamorph mount - baka ma-explain mo rin konti. Parang cute ang panamorph slider mo.
Of course, no amount of explanation can substitute for an actual audition. Super curious ako sa performance ng lahat ng bagong equipment mo. Saturday, Jan. 12, mga 2 pm? Sama na lahat ng mga Region 3 addicts!
Like wise, Happy New Year!
OK, a little explanation for some of my new toys:
D2 is the Big Brother of my Anthem AVM50 , it has dual processors and all audio whether analog or digital are upsampled to 24/192. A lot of Lexicon and Halcro owners have switched to this unit because of the fantastic sound and HDMI implementation. It will have its own proprietary room correction circuitry by January hopefully unveiled at this months 2008 CES. This is what gives me goosebumps! BTW prices are said to increase by 8 to 12% this month, therefore magiging 7500 USD ang D2.
Panamorph UH380, I am new to CIH so medyo hindi pa na tweak nang 100% but I can assure you, it is very sharp from center to the corners. No loss of colors as well. I am happy with its performance at wala na akong black bars. I have a throw ratio of 2.16 so there should be very minimal Chromatic Abberations and Geometric distortions. Slider was just made from a drawer slide mechanism that I bought from Ace for P350? Just called my trusted carpenter and the end result was effective.
Curve Screen, its actually 44.25 X106 inches or 2.395 so I should call it a 2.40 screen. I think kahit hindi ko ginawang curve OK ang PQ, but might as well go the full distance. I used a radii of 40 ft, para minimal lang ang curvature. Used kiln dried 2x5's and stretchable velvet material for my 4" border.
Subs, Since I have the A2 as a spare amp, (Classe all the way for the 6 channels) and the Bass management of the D2 is second to none, I made 4 subs using a sub enclosure calculator from the Net. I then placed them at the front half of the room and the performance is better than a single sub. Less distortion more power. I used a spare 34 band digital parametric Eq (from my pro setups) via laptop to cut my room resonances which are around 27 and 50 Hertz. Its very difficult balancing Bass Frequencies as a cut on those frequencies will affect the response in the other seats. Its actually a compromise and its like adding salt and pepper to food, in moderation lang.
Sige Jan 12 would be fine, may konti pa akong time para mag fine tune. Bring the Gang!
