Yup, it definitely is cheaper than the A1's. But they're surrounds. You don't need to spend that much, unless you're setting up a "theater" hehehehe...
Contact Marc sa AV Shop. He'll get you a great deal on them.

Salamat sir JC.. definitely audition ko mga to when the right time comes.. hehe..

Its hard to tell, it would depend on your taste because they sound different imo. why dont you compare them side by side, i believe MLY (avshop) has BX and RX series ready for audition. They say MA's sound best when paired with yamaha or onkyo.

Oo nga, it's hard to stop and take pictures lalo na kapag katulad ko, OC!
Hehehe..
Been playing around with settings and re-doing Audyssey 2EQ with my 509.. Kasi up to now, I feel like my A6 isn't "unleashed" yet. Solid yung bass and highs, sablay sa mids.. medyo masakit sa tenga..

I am fearing na baka mismatch yung amp ko

Polk Audio PSW 660wi or SVS PB10NSD

Go for the Polk Audio DSW Pro 660.

@Courage:
I changed setting to Large.
Then, I moved the crossover from 100 down to 80.
And... I inverted the center speaker so that it would be angled towards my ears (suggested by the guy from Ask Audyssey.)
Better sound at last!
My volume is between 60-65.
Safe lang ba to for my amp and speakers?
Thanks for the suggestions bro!

Conan · « **Reply #386 on:** May 04, 2011 at 08:59 PM »

Center channels really have to be aimed directly at the listener's ears for best sound. Very narrow ang on-axis or sweet spot ng center channel.

Narrow indeed!
Grabe, peace of mind at last. And more relaxed ears...

Thanks sir Conan uli sa kabilang thread!

I had the same experience bro kasi eh, when i connected my A6, sabi ko bat masakit sa tenga..... pero nung nag audition ako sa MLY maganda sya tumunog... So i played with my receivers crossover, nung check ko yammy ko nasa 120. So what i did was muted all the channel except for center and played a movie na puro dialogue then while listening i started to play with the crossover settings of my yammy. Center lang anng may tunog so i can concentrate on the SQ. While i change my xover from 120-110-90-80 i noticed a huge difference.. Paganda sya nang paganda... Then i started to play music only, again center lang tumutunog... Maganda na sya.. so naisipan ko naman, pano kung i large ko? While playing music, i set it to large.. aba lalong gumanda he he he.. Kaya ayun... Buong buo na ang tunog nang center ko...

I dont see any harmful effect on the receivers end basta again like what i said before properly ventilated yung AVR, i'm using a fan so talagang never na uminit ang receiver ko...

jcsantamarina · « **Reply #389 on:** May 06, 2011 at 11:53 AM »

Update:

<Guys, let me know if this is just a psychological effect of my tweaking and tweaking and tweaking..?>

I just watched a movie that was full of dialogue and again, the harshness was back. I returned my speakers to "Small" again and set the crossover at 70Hz. I set it back to "Small" when using 5.1 because, I heard that setting the speakers at Large sends a lot of power from the amp to drive the speakers. Which, may not be good in the long run.
I then noticed when I stood up, the sound seemed better as I got up.
I then remembered that the CSi A6 has a black antenna looking stand at the back, so I tilted the center speaker to point a little lower than usual so that the tweeter would be pointing directly at my ear level. And it is much much better now because of this.
Not tiring mid-range sound + speakers set at small + no more need to increase center channel volume = More peace of mind and movie joy!

Hehehe..

Next project, since my couch is backed up against a concrete wall, I'm planning to put a thick curtain behind me to reduce the sound reflections. Should I still install the "egg-crate" looking foam on the wall behind the curtain?
