Part 3 of my query (with revised options):

Option 1 - Zensor 5 (fronts) + Vokal (center) and maintain my rear speakers; or
Option 2 - Lektor 3 (fronts) + Lektor center and maintain my rear speakers;
Option 3 - Mission MX3 (fronts) + MXC2 or MXC3 (center)
Option 4 - Polk Rti A3  (fronts) + Csi A6 (center) and maintain my rear speakers;

Thoughts?

My current set-up being:

20sqm room, but listening area is only 10sqm.

Denon 1713
Mission M73 (fronts)
Mission M7C1 (center)
Mission M70 (rear)
Velo CHT (sub)

Go for option number 4.  Can't go wrong with Polk Audio RTi Set up.

Yes for me ok sya..hindi ko sya afford noon kaya iba kinuha ko..great deal na yan IMO for the price..na ttempt na ako kunin yan kasi walang pumapansin haha kaso pigil pigil muna

I have no experience with the two brands..but you won't go wrong sa dalawa..as long as the budget permits..best to demo them sir..dun ka lang mapapalagay sa pag pili sa kanila

Goodpm PDVDers..
Tanong ko lang, ano mga recommended in-wall speakers nyo? Application for music sa living room ceiling.. Preferably white para di pansinin..
Budget is around 30k per pair, kelangan ko 2 pairs so 60k? Give or take..
And also a receiver narin, ung pede ma turn on over wifi. (Budget, the cheaper the better 20k-30k'ish?)
Thanks and more power!  ;D

Hi Sirs, new to PinoyDVD. would like to ask your inputs. Ano pong on-wall speakers (soundbar or 2.1, etc.) ang marererecommend nyo sakin. basically, i like to have it wall mounted, slim design. ok lang di hi powered since di ko naman itotodo ang sound. ok lang din hindi hi fi or pang audiophile. for movies use and casual TV watching (btw, will be using it for a 42in LED TV). how much is the cheapest decent you can recommend? thanks

Konzert, kaso i'm not sure kung may slim design. Very limited ang choices mo sa slim design unless you get the maggies or have a custom built speakers. But even custom built speakers have at least 5 inches depth due to the basket and magnets. I'm also on the hunt for 2 years pero wala akong makita. Or PC speakers alam ko may slim design. I'm leaning towards DIY but still looking for a shallow basket easy to drive speakers because HTiB ang mag-power sa kanya.

I noticed that there are folks here who have "audio only" set ups, with dedicated CD players or turntables or other digital sources and amps specially made audio/stereo.

Are there speakers (brand or model) which are more for audio than HT?

There are speakers models and brand that doesnt have a Center or surrounds on their line up. but that doesnt mean you cant use it for HT.

I really don't believe that there are speakers that are good for audio or HT. What really mattera is our preference and budget.

Mga bro, need your suggestions. I have a Q acoustics 2050Si floorstander speaker, 2000Ci and driven by Yamaha RXV375 AV. What I'm looking is the sub woofer, what will be your recommendation this?

Thank you.

wow, 2 new owners of the 2050i. since these are floorstanders and it would be difficult to bring them around different stores, Avshop/MLY is your best bet to try it out with the AVRs they sell.

Im starting a new HT setup for the place I will be transferring to by May. I am looking at getting either a Yamaha 573 or 575 or Pioneer 1020/1021/1022.

Since I have limited space, I will go for four BS and a Center. What are your recommendations with a budget of no more than 15k?

Thanks.

Add a little more and you can get the PSB Image B6. I have paired this with my Yamaha and it sounded awesome for both Movies and Music... I think it's around 16k+. Try to audition it at Watts Hi fi or AVSHOP
