Hi Paul! The only serious upgrade has been the Sony VPL-VW500 4k projector but that was a year ago. Picture quality is incredible. I also got a Lumagen 2041 video processor to further improve video quality but that was also a year ago.

I am waiting for the Denon AVR 5200 to be available locally. It supports Dolby Atmos, which everyone is praising to high heavens so I have suddenly gotten very interested in another upgrade. If I get this AVR, I will likely buy 4 more speakers, for the ceiling.

How are you doing?

I'm fine, been away from PDVD for more than 2 years...too much poison in here hehe.

Whoa those are very nice upgrade you have there Mark! I haven't visited your awesome HT for a long time! Haha yes Dolby Atmos is the hottest cake now & I can't wait to experience it at your place! 4 more speakers? Nice!! The more the merrier :)

Thank you sir Mark for allowing us to experience your new atmos system, audio was superb as expected. But the one which really stood out for me is your new 4K PJ. One word, phenomenal!

Left you feedback for the great deal and it was a pleasure meeting everyone as well.

We missed you bro. Sayang. How intense was the sound? On the avalanche scene of teenage mutant ninja turtles, the top rear subwoofer moved forward. I thought meron sumabog na sub or speaker hehe. Atmos, how do I describe it? buong buo ang sound.

Based on reviews, the new release of gravity, with dolby atmos is a demo disc worthy. Sana we had that as one of the test disc. I should have brought my regular gravity bluray disc. Just for the dtshdma sound. If sir Mark will buy the new gravity disc, then we can compare it with mine.

We missed you, and a lot of other pinoydvd friends. Short notice kasi.

Yes, I think that both audio and video have clearly improved. Video upgraded to Sony 4k pj and Lumagen 9x9 color cube processing. Audio upgraded with more and better speakers + Dolby Atmos.

April 19 gusto mo? Sunday?

Thanks Sir Mark for graciously accommodating us. We appreciate the experience and conversation, together with the food and wine.

There is an evident improvement in Audio and Video compared to the last time that I was in your place. Your new LCOS projector delivers a nice and punchy picture despite the large screen; I think the color processing and scaling work very well with the available dynamic contrast from your PJ. The surround experience is also much better than I remember, especially from the sweet spot. I'm not sure if it was your new speakers, the revised placements or the change in processing, but it made what was a great experience even nicer.

Congrats and thanks again.

Thanks sir Mark for the invitation. I wasn't there last December. Pero malaki ang improvement sa panning with the rear speaker placement and the Atmos speakers. Truly very seamless na. Room is filled with sound even in the middle. The PJ is to die for.Ang ganda ng contrast niya. Colors are very vivid. And may I add, this is not a dream theater for me. This is my fantasy theater na because alam ko maski sa panaginip hindi ko ito maabot. Congrats sir and advance congratulations kay Luther for his new LED PJ.  ;)

Though I haven't seen Master Mark's theater for a long time im sure that the upgrades he made to his set up will propel its performance to new heights...heights that we can only read about and dream of. For me this set up remains as a true testament to one's pursuit for his passion. Congratulations Mark.

If I may share my observations, the upgrade to atmos alone did a lot of improvement since my last visit. Sound is fuller, panning is more evident, there's a sense of height when scenes call for it like the tmnt avalanche it got more convincing to me. The bass also got stronger now room gets pressurized even more to think .5 hotter lang and setup(tama ba). That's why the room sounded a bit smaller(in a good way) and the action scenes got more immersive and heart-pounding, good thing that we took short rest in between.
The 4K pj is really stunning, period. Contrast, colors, definition 10/10 sometimes I find the clarity distracting sa details tumatagal ang mata ko partida 130" yung screen at upscaled 1080p pa lang yun. ^-^
Always a pleasure to be invited sir Mark. Thanks and congrats!
