Very nice, Meg.

Suggestion lang -- Pagawa ka ng small stand for the center speaker so that it is just below the TV. That should help in the clarity of the dialogue kasi it raises the tweeter to around ear height and it provides some distance between the speaker and the shelf (otherwise, you get "boundary interference" which is not good).

magandang suggestion. or it can be mounted na lang din under the TV.

im sure di pa tapos yan and you'll do something about the cables para malinis na malinis na talaga

nakakainggit.ganda ng setup

Thanks!

tiles ang nasa likod ng TV. Can't remember how much, but pricier than the Mariwasa/Lepanto models. Got it from Tile Center or is it Floor Center branch in Pasong Tamo. It's got branches everywhere.

3 years ago, I was thinking of getting a new receiver. 3 years later, still nada

But soon. The problem with not being updated is that I have no idea what receiver to get, and what are these latest technologies that everyone is talking about. Hahaha!

The only criteria I have is that it doesn't have to be 7.1, but has to have HDMI (which will qualify every darn receiver in the market). Looking at the Denon 1713 (since it's on sale) or the counterpart newer models from Denon and other brands like Onkyo.

Truth to tell, I think I'm more excited about the thought of getting new fronts and center.

I updated my first post to reflect recent acquisitions, but here's a shot of the updated set up

An enjoyable read tonedeaf, it's great to hear of a member of the opposite sex who understands why us guys get so excited over Audio & Video. A slow journey but it looks really good, congrats ma'am.

Congrats...!

tonedeaf · « **Reply #192 on:** Feb 13, 2014 at 06:47 PM »

Thanks everyone!

The only problem now is that I want new speakers naman. Hahaha!

In fact, I already put my current fronts and center on the MP na, though I'm having second thoughts.I'm not sure kasi if there will be a discernible difference between the sound produced by my current fronts/center versus fronts/centers in the 25-40K range (which is my budget).

just upgraded my TV (still plasma, but from Panasonic 42pv70 to Samsung's 51F5000)

My brief review of the 51F5000 after a few days of use

*PROS - I love the bigger screen; cheap; good PQ for digital cable tv and other HD sources; it's a plasma

*CONS - a tad more reflective than the 42pv70; for regular cable tv viewing, the PQ of the 42pv70 is better; tv speakers sound a bit shrill.

next up:

1. a stand for my center speaker, as recommended by streetsmart a few years back;
2. an AVR;
3. read up on the threads here on how to improve sound quality of gears by improving HT area;
4. and maybe, new fronts and center?

The way to go mam, unfortunately with plasma's not a lot of choice since Pioneer & Panasonic pulled out of the plasma market. Have fun with your other upgrades

Ni 8)ce madam, very neat.....maaayos lang ang mga cables, very very neat na

tonedeaf · « **Reply #200 on:** Feb 27, 2014 at 10:23 PM »

Thanks to John E., oReOsHaKe, stilljey, jh@meeh, Oldboyracer, sovrain!

@sovrain, I wish I had the patience to fix the cables. Hahaha! Maybe if I change the fronts and center, since I'll be forced to fix the connections at the back of the receiver

Since kakatapos lang ng awards season, may I ride on the Oscars euphoria, and also express my thanks to:

1. all, who gave suggestions and contributed to the separate thread I opened regarding my search for speakers and patiently answered the other questions I posed in the Recommend a Speaker thread, the Denon receiver thread and even the Samsung 51F5000 thread. Salamat din sa mga active posters sa PSB, Polk Audio at GoldenEars thread;

2. Paul (@tein) of Sound and Vision, for the Denon 1713 (and the demo of the Boston Acoustics FS, and for answering all my PMs about setting up the 1713 and what speakers can be matched with it) and Rex (@otep_32) of Watts Hi Fi (for the PSB speakers, and for accommodating my every request during my audition);

3. all the other helpful sellers in Pinoydvd, like @avshop and @E-Reply, who never fail to answer my queries on the brands they carry; si Epoy of Architectural Audio, na pinagbigyan ako sa dalawang request to audition the Dali's he had on hand (Zensor 7 and Lektor 2), and the folks at Sound Dimension, who demo'ed the B&W 685 to me. Mabait din pala yung staff ng JBL Megamall, who allowed me to hear the Infinity Primus 363 and made me want to buy a Harman Kardon AVR. Nalaman ko din tuloy na maganda ang Book of Eli (in terms of sound effects).

Thanks again PinoyDVD! Hopefully, it will take at least 5-7 years, bago ulit ako magtanong na naman kung anong magandang bilhin na TV, receiver at speakers
