ako po ba?  present!  with the ongoing sale at 5th ave and archi audio, nasa's HK + MS setup is a best buy for less than 99k... with the HK 7.1 sale at archi audio, the AVR5500 + PA2000 combo = P44,250... plus if you're lucky to get 20% off plus 5% off on the MS speakers, i estimate all 8 speakers would be between 53k - 55k.  that is A LOT of speaker for less than US$1000.  great choice on the AVR too.

Yeah thanks sa inyong lahat sa pagwelcome hope i could extend the sound force that we are fighting for!

Yes NELZ one of this days i will post here my pic unfortunately im still fixing my new home apartment(feeling bachelor kaya kalas muna tayo kina bros and ermat).

to LEVI naman bro kung alam ko lang sana tong website na to its before siguro di na ako dinugo sa bangkok pero bro hanep sa thailand kumpleto sila dun ng system lahat ng hanapin mo meron.

NARAYAN oo nga ganda nga ng setup ni akyat di lang system pati yung room nya panalo.

To AKYAT pre panalo talaga yung set up kaya lang pre ingat ka baka maging home boy ka nyan mapabayaan mo mga chika bebeng(joke lang bro) yes bro maybe the only draw back for my dicision was i acquired my AVR and PA separately i was not able to get a discount around 4T rin yung nawala sayang ilang DVDs din yon.

Bros check out this configuration i did very effective;

1. Movie Set-up

AVR5500
- 908 for the fronts
- 905 for the center
- 903s for left & right surrounds
- 907w for my sub

PA2000
- 902 for my surround back

2. Music Set-up

AVR5500
- 908 for the highs and mids (bi amp)
- 905 for center
- 903s and 905 for the surrounds

PA2000
- 908 for the woofer (bi amp)

3. Karaoke function

 AVR5500
- 908 for fronts
- 905 for center
- 902 for surrounds
- 907w for sub

PA2000
- 903s for voice reproduction from my separate DVD player with karaoke and AKG microphone.

palagay ko kaya yan. the power rating of the 9060D is about the same sa gamit na marantz 7300 ni akyatbundok. the best thing is to try it out sa any branch of 5th ave.

dre,

baka mag-clip at higher volume.
Remember, the 908 has a woofer (btw, is the built-in woofer powered?)

I'll give you tips how to know:

First, connect 902 or 912 to the 9060D. if you can reach volume of up to -5 to 0 and yet still sounds clean and that you notice na bawat galaw ng woofer or the bigger driver you still hear sound is being delivered, then, that's ok.

Now, connect that to 908 and same volume level, if you noticed na medyo distorted and the woofer is moving excessively and yet you do not hear sound is being delivered, then di niya kaya.

Don't go for that combo. Hindi mo maibibirit 9060D upto the last increment.

To AKYAT pre panalo talaga yung set up kaya lang pre ingat ka baka maging home boy ka nyan mapabayaan mo mga chika bebeng(joke lang bro)

pre, yun talaga ang primary reasons kaya ako nagsarili -- stereo at chikaboom, and a far 3rd is convenience... hehe. oo nga, naging homeboy ako, diretso uwi.  paano mo nalaman?  ;D ;D

coolkiks, tama si nels76... try mo mag-audition ng proper match sa 908, medyo mahirap i-drive yung 10" woofer, passive kasi yun hindi powered.  pwede yata i-audition sa 5th ave ang 908 with the 9060D.  kaya sya ng sr7300, pero mas gusto ko pa rin mag separate amp.  mas dynamic kasi sa music.  kung sa movies kaya na ng receiver yun.. kaboom!

coolkiks, it depends on the amp syempre, if its up to the task, pwede na.  pero check mo na rin with the receiver baka kaya naman.  kung sa movies 80w/ch was really good enough.  sa music lang naman medyo kulang ang receiver.  or if you could spare the time, sama ka sa listening session, paminsan-minsan nagkakaroon.

I noticed in 5th ave.'s listening room, they dont optimize the setup.  For instance, they use a budget dvd player & receiver, and they use very long & thin speaker wires that run across the room.   Sa iba kasi all-out ang demo, naka separates pa minsan, with the best sub in the lineup.  At least people wont have unrealistic expectations.  This may also be the reason hindi popular itong brand na 'to sa atin.  The good news is that bcoz of this, they're selling it at a great price compared to other countries.  And when it starts to sing in your own setup, you'll be pleasantly surprised that its better than you thought.

Bro sa tindi ng setup mo di na kailangan gumimik kaya ko nalaman.

Coolkiks tama si akyat mahirap idrive yung 10" woofer ng MS908 kaya yung MS908 ko naka bi amp. Sa movies no problem pero sa music you need to have separate amp para ma maximize mo yung performance ng MS908. Pero hayup kumanta yung MS908 kapag naka bi amp kasi nauutilized mo yung low frequency signal like me if im playing my rock music i want the detail of bass guitar but i dont want it to overriden the low frequency signal from the bass drum just like other system malakas yung bass guitar pero halos di mo na marinig yung bass drum. Kaya sa system ko i noticed that all LFE like bass guitar comes from my fronts and the subwoofer take charge of the low frequency coming from bass drum.

I really want to hear the slam of my 912 kaya on sunday i wil make an experiment.

I'll bring my 912 with the receiver sa new house at our backyard. maganda acoustic doon. All concrete and nasa 1st floor. baka ma-amaze ako sa bass.

Right now deprive kasi 912 ko. diba akyat? you've seen the setup.

Next weekend I'll bring my 912 at james16 place and test it side by side with his b2. (broken in na iyon by that time).

nasa,
broken in na ba MS Speakers mo?

akyat,
napansin mo din pala iyon.
That's the problem with them. Kaya tuloy pag may nag-audition ng products sa kanila, sinasabi di maganda tumunog products nila like kenwood and MS.

Eto namang mga nag-auaudition di iyon tintingnan.
Some guys really don't know the true auditioning parameters.

Isa pa actually napansin ko sa 5th avenue. Iyong pang-test nila na DVD Movies and Audio Cd's are pirated. What can you expect from its quality?

Open your EARS and EYES fellows.

Narayan and Akyat,

I am planning to bring my MS 912 to james16 place to compare side by side with his B2. Just to have a friendly comparison. Of course, in the end there will only be hands down winner - we don't know yet.

We'll keep you posted on this.
Probably, before the month ends.

And you Narayan and Akyat,

Update niyo naman kami para madinig din namin MS niyo. I am curious lalo sa setup ni Akyat - ALL MS.

woohoo! speaker shootout.. alam niyo yang mga speaker niyo ang pumipigil sakin bumili ng dream speaker ko na yamaha ns-1000 para sa kuwarto.  worry ko kasi baka patalbugin ng shoebox size speaker niyo itong vintage refrigerator size speaker na balak ko kunin eh.  kaya im eagerly anticipating the chance to hear them!

Update niyo naman kami para madinig din namin MS niyo. I am curious lalo sa setup ni Akyat - ALL MS.

before or at the end of the month pre.  kita-kits tayo ulit!  maayos na interconnect na lang kulang ko.

MS-902 -- the speaker terminals are big.  the good news is that they're not cheap parts.  the bad news is that you can't use ordinary spades.  if you have factory terminated speaker cable with spades, you may have to double-terminate with banana plugs, or cut off the spades.
