Latest Update:

For the longest time, I've been looking for speaker stands that will be high enough (for the sweet spot) but at the same time, match my RS1's wood grain so I ended up going to the neighborhood roadside wood carving shop (going up Tagaytay) and luckily, there was a big enough solid log to make a pair.



Thanks to my brother in-law, I was also able to acquire these stainless cones thru his machine shop.



Finally decided to jump in the PJ bandwagon and got the Epson 8350.

I do not have the acoustic screen yet but it should get here after the holidays. (currently using a temporary/extra portable office manual pull down screen to cure the itch to use the PJ)
...excited to do a DIY screen with the speakers behind it. That would be my next project.  :D

Also acquired two hdmi hubs with 4 inputs/1 out, 1 input/2 outs.

Brader Alvin, I am also interested in upgrading to that same model of PJ as yours. Can I audition it in your place one of these days? Good reviews kasi and the price is so tempting. Congrats by the way on the new gears!

Thanks brader...papasko na lang sa sarili..naku, ikaw pa...i do like the way the stands fit the RS1. Psychological siguro, pero parang gumanda din lalo ang SQ...hahaha. ;D
In the end, i'm happy with the turnout.

cheers pare and a super Christmas to you and Rich!

Matagal ko din hinanap yang kahoy na yan bro...naka swerte lang at nag match sa RS1...feeling FS sa BS...siguro na miss ko na nga din yun RS6.

Regarding the PJ, you (and all our friends here) are welcome to check it out but i am not sure if it will be accurate (or a good time now) because of the screen that I am using. The picture quality is great..no remorse but then again, I know that it can still get better with proper calibration. Di pa lang ako mag request from our chief Mark (ahem/hint)  ::) :D because of the "screen" issue.

Merry Christmas parekoy...bisita talaga ako jan this holiday....excited to see the SVS kambal and u of course and the rest of the family. Miss ko na ang sessions natin from way back.

Congrats brader Alvin on your new toys! ;D

Ikaw ang dapat e congratulate at sobrang ganda ng Pasko mo brader Marts! Nakakatakot ngang humirit at lahat ay naka SVs na! Baka makulam pa ako e happy pa naman ako sa kambal na Jbl kong luma.

Very nice! Musta pq ng pj?

Thanks Sir Mark. Di pa lang nahirit Chief, pero alam mo na yun...need your expertise when i get the screen.
PQ? out of the box, no regrets. Happy with it. I agree with most reviews.

I do not have an enclosed dark room (it only gets fully dark in the room at night time) but the projector is naturally bright even at Cinema mode. I tinkered with the settings a bit using the settings i read off the net. One site recommended gamma to be at 2.4 and auto iris on. Another recommended some adjustments off RGB. I'm not really that serious with it yet since I think its kinda premature to set it with the screen that is temporary. Anyway, still playing with the PJ and will most likely do so over the holiday when I get some more free time.

I am so confused with the correct skin tone. ;D ;D :D

ganda ng stands bro!

ganda rin ng PJ!

naku! nagiisip na yang neighbor mo bumiyahe ng isteyts
para kumuha rin nyan..... ;D

No doubt...dapat bumisita yan sa East Coast!
I still feel that our neighbor's favorite soda is still number one in the U.S. - kaya lalo yang magbibitbit pabalik. ;D ;D ;D Ilang tansan lang yan sa kanya..hahaha.

Brader Alvin, I am also interested in upgrading to that same model of PJ as yours. Can I audition it in your place one of these days? Good reviews kasi and the price is so tempting. Congrats by the way on the new gears!

You know what bro..since i am also new at this PJ and I don't feel comfortable with my current screen...

Let's do this..i am willing to unmount my PJ and try it on yours or Jake's - just to compare it.

Game? ;D :o

Ang ganda ng stands brader Alvin!

Congrats also on the PJ!!!

Thanks brader! Merry Christmas! See you sometime also!

alvs, you may need to have your windows tinted dark so you can maximize your PJ.

I already taped the adjacent windows with an inch thick insulation plus double curtains. hehehe ;D ;D ;D
Well, i also watch movies at night time so it helps...why I decided that a PJ will not be so "an off the wall idea" for the wifey. Because of the size of my room tho, i can only project a limited size; too big even at a throw distance of only around 8.5-9 feet. We almost have the same viewing distance bro...what diagonal size did you end up with nga parekoy? better yet, width and height please? tenks tenks

I'm also thinking of a DIY screen for now with adjustable masking for all the different formats. With the speakers behind, im sure that the throw distance will get adjusted again. Pero curious talaga ako sa acoustic screen na dadating kaya sacrifice ko na lang a few feet just to experiment with it.

Hi bro alvin, good thing you waited and now you have an awesome pj ;) Welcome back. Pasilip din ha, hindi pa dumating yung sa akin :(

Of course, you are welcome brader anytime...pag napag usapan na kung kelan join ka cyempre.
Keep you posted here pare...kelan daw dating ng PJ mo?
Merry Christmas! ;D
