Baka after holy week pa kasi nagbabakasyon mga braders including me he he he

[XanderCage]

planning to get A3 for main and A6 for center.

ok na kaya yung tsi100 pang surround? yun kasi gamit ko for main right now. hehe.

Yes sir that should be fine. You will be amazed how the A3 and A6 sounds....

Someone please please buy my excess gear so I can get an A6 already

Notice I'm even willing to do without surround speakers ... Polk Polk Polk.

Sir Courage madali lang yan.. DIY center stand lang kelangan mo.. hehe.. 

[lncc63]

7-3/4" H x 24" W x 14" D   .... medyo nga ano ... ok lang yan.  It crossed my mind to put the center above the TV but I think it would look funny.

KOnti na lang space sa harap, pag naglagay ako nang stand baka masagi nang mga bata pag naglalaro...I tatabi ko na lang sa akin.. naka kalong habang nanonoood ako para protected ha ha ha.. it would look weird and funny though..

[XanderCage]

thanks sir! i guess i'll use my tsi 100 for surrounds. hehe.

speaking of the size of the A6, share ko lang yung rack na nabili ko sa ace hardware. 





it has adjustable layers so pwede ko sya modify to accomodate the massive A6. hehe. assuming makakabili nako. lol.

 Pero how about the Width? Mahaba kasi yung A6 at yung Depth nya mahaba din.. pero since bukas naman yung likod ok lang sa Depth.. yung width na lang... 35.56 cm ata yung A6. Ano ba yang current center mo sir?

Magkano sir bili mo sa rack? Saang ace mo nabili? At anong tawag nila dyn? Nagpuna ako sa Ace sa batangas wala silang ganyang rack..

nag measure ako kanina, yung width sakto lang, may extra pa each side mga 3 inches. depth naman, lagpas lang ng mga 1-2 inches yung likod ng A6 pero ok lang since open naman yung likod nya sakto lang din. current center ko yung tsi cs10.

nabili ko yan sa sm north annex na ace, iba ibang kulay pa yan. kaso walang black nung time na bumili ako. ok na din naman yung blue. hehe. ewan ko lang anong tawag, nakita ko lang sya dun sa mga shelves na area nila sa may mga cabinets and tables. got it for 2k tapos nagdadagdag ako isang layer for 500 pesos.

Yan na yung standard height nyan sir? Anong height? Plano ko kasi LCD lang at Center lagay ko eh so kelangan ko medyo mas mababa nang konti kasi yung bed ko walang frame, naka patong directa sa floor so pag nakahiga ako baka sobrang taas nang LCD...

Tamang tama sa akin siguro kung saan nakapatong yung Center mo yun na yung pagpapatungan nang LCD then yung center andun sa lalagyan nang AVR. bale dalawang layer lang.. Unless pwedeng customize yung height?

check ko maya sa bahay ano yung height, ka height nya lang kasi yung mga standard office tables.

kung gusto mo talaga mas mababa pwede naman putulin yung braces nya sa gilid. haha. since naka screw lang naman yung mga layer.

Anong material sir nung Braces? at nung Layers? Baka nga lagariin ko na lang pag nagkataoon. Sana may black.. pag wala Metal Spray Paint ang katapat he he he

metal lahat yang mga yan. hehe. yung braces medyo makapal. nung nagtanong ako ng black meron mga shelves pero di daw pwede pagpalitin yung shelves ng isang set. lol.

Tamang tama may magagawa na naman ako...Ang ganda kasi di takaw sa space adjustable pa...

yup, yun yung gusto ko sa kanya kasi adjustable. kasi mamaya magka upgrade itch nanaman. lol.

kung di naman masyado mataas, pwede mo na din singit avr mo sa baba. hehe.

Yup di ko napansin sa picture mo may shelf pa pala sa pinakababa...maganda nga ito.. I hope meron sa ibang ace dito sa manila..

Tanong lang mga Bro:  I have A3 as my front now.  When I replace them with the A7, can I put them in series and use the for the center?  I realize there is an impedance mismatch but putting them in series will just mean I won't be able to get their full power potential (?) but I have no intention of going anywhere near that anyway.  So it is this a terribly bad idea?

My plan is currently to use the A3 for surrounds but that would be a sad waste of the A3's true abilities.  I could sell them but why if they will work very well as a center.

Kuha ka na lang nang center brader... Kung cherry lang yan brader, ako na kukuha nyan gagawin kong speakers nang Harman for pure audio listening.. Sayang naman kung pang center lang sya...

A6 muna! Hehehehe...

Chief, question!

Can I use "Large" settings on the A3 and A6 and turn on the double bass option so that the Sub would still pick up the low frequency?

I noticed a fuller sound when I tested it that way, I'm just not sure if this will have any negative effects on my AVR or Speakers.

Any input on this guys?

The A6 has a 3db down point of 55 Hz and the A3 is 50 Hz. I would just set them at 80 Hz and let the sub handle the rest of the work. You can experiment setting them to the values that I mentioned and see what sounds better to you. If you set them both to large or full range, the receiver will be doing more work by trying to reproduce the low frequencies for fronts and center.

Actually, the Audyssey setup placed it on 80Hz and Small speakers.

I tried lowering to 60 Hz Crossover, but the 80Hz Crossover sounded better.
Sub is connected via RCA->LFE and knob is set to LFE mode. It's a PSW110 btw.

So setting it to Large makes the Amp work harder and consume more power? Tama ba?
Then small na lang.. lower electricity consumption.. Hahahaha..

I see no harm sa receiver as long as it's properly ventilated and not playing at full volume, if you like the sound that way then use it.. Wala naman nakalagay sa manual na masisira if you set it that way with bookshelves right. It's true that it will give your receiver a workout but matibay naman mga receivers natin.. as long as properly ventilated at walang short sa wiring then your good to go.. Ako i put in a small fan on top of my receiver to suck the heat out...

I set my A3's to large when listening to music with sub turn off by the way... Also do that when listening to music running 4 channel stereo so my A1's are also set to large and sub still off... So far i'm lovin it....

Correct pero minsan we are curious what the A3's can do he he he... so bigay natin lahat sa kanya he he he...And the result is good right.. like what you said setting them to large make their sound fuller...

Dont be afraid as long as di mo pag ooverheat ang amp at walang short circuit na mangyayari... Matibay ang mga receivers natin that's why they are expensive....HIndi sya CDRking
