WOW!!!
Finally got a chance to audition sir alvin's set-up.... first on is two channel audition and hear what the Elacs can do...wow!! those speakers arent just good looking and huge...but closing my eyes...as swore I though a band ensemble is in front me.
Next stop was the HT audition. I was particularly impressed by the PJ set-up. Considering that we have the same Panny ae900, the video output is way better than mine. Colors were richer and more accurate. Besides that its better calibrated (kong alvin surely knows how to...he has lots of calibrating software and equipment), what really impressed me is his pre/pro...ANTHEM AVM50. Me built in scaler nato...and watching LOTR was really impressive. Ive watched the same title in my set-up, but definitely, resolution is better ke alvin's. thats really taking it up a notch.
Final viewing was HD DVD. I am really curious on what the HD DVD camp would say, the Look and Sound of Perfect. He slipped the Chronicles of Riddick on...and seeing the FBI anti-piracy warning sign on the opening screen, I was aghast. coz the letters were sharp and you could read the small letters (department of justice) perfectly from afar, no jaggies whatsoever. dun pa lang, I could already see a night and day difference. Video on the movie was just way better. when viewed on smaller screens, i dont know if you'll see the same improvement. Its really just an awesome experience. Humbling too coz I know Im years away from experiencing that in my own set-up.
Congrats sir alvin.....
and thanks a lot for the demo. Learned a lot too. Laki pa ng HT room. 14ft x 22ft, spacious!!!
PS....watching the charlotte church concert, the video I saw there kong alvin was really like near HD na. That ANthem AVM50 really delivers the goods!! of course, ur calibration techniques too.
