Hi everyone,
how would you spend a 45k budget? I currently just have an LG 42LK450. I have yet to get receiver and external speakers for it. I'm thinking of either getting an entry receiver + a 5.1 speaker system, or a mid-range receiver + bookshelf speakers. (subwoofer, surround channels, center chanel to follow)
which would you recommend and why? please give specific brand/model suggestions.
Thanks! :)

Yung 45k mo ba kasama na reciever and speaker front and center?
Check your PM for recommendation. ;) ;)
-
Yung 45k mo ba kasama na reciever and speaker front and center?
yes. kasama na receiver at 5.1 channels sa 45k. :)
-
BNEW or USED?
-
BNEW or USED?
preferably brand new.

yes. kasama na receiver at 5.1 channels sa 45k. :)
Kung gusto mo ng maganda ganda na setup with that budget receiver + front and center ka muna then kuha ka ng surround pag may budget na pero kung 5.1 malamang second hand or wharfdale ang mabibili mo. ;) ;)
-
preferably brand new.
naku bnew pala...hihihi
receiver and 5.1 speakers?
hmMMMm....
receiver
budget friendly
you may select
onkyo 509
pioneer 521 or 821
kung may budget ka na ngayon check the marantz na SALE ni DEFCON dami nung choices
speakers
wharfedale siguro
SUB....medyo mahirap budgetan
psw 110 at 11k siguro
bitin pa din ung 45k
pwede used?
-
pwede rin receiver + 2.0 or 2.1 i-suggest nyo. ;)

Witches he he he...
DTNS - Get a midrange receiver, pero choose wisely on your bookshelf speakers...Later if you wanted to complete your setup, you can always put your bookshelf as surround and get the best fronts and center you can afford...Syempre of same brand.. Planning your setup is the key..
Unless mayaman ka tulad ni xrampage na may palasyo at madaming pambili nang gears na anytime pwedeng palitan kasi madaming moolah...

Or
Get a simple receiver, 2nd hand will do.. then get the best front speakers you can afford that you think will last with you for 3 years or more.... Then follow mo na yung iba pag nagka moolah ka..

reading the thread, parang ganyan-ganyan nabasa ko doon sa chit-chat ... HTIB initially yung tanong, maya-maya palaki ng palaki recommendations :)
anyway sali na rin ako - I would be spending my 45k for a mid-range AVR (Onkyo 609 or 709, or Denon 1912), then just budget for a good 2.0 system and wait till another budget is available for the center, then for the rear, and last yung sub-woofer ... a good floor stander 2.0 system would give you very good performance on sound quality compared to a cheap 5.1 speaker setup ... yung entry level na AVR naman limited yung power and features.
-
I suggest pick first the speakers you like then build your system around them.
Ang receiver madaling maluma (yearly nagpapalit ng models) pero ang magandang set of speakers will last for so many years.
With an initial budget of 45k, kung ako I'll get a preowned mid-end receiver and a pair of floorstanders muna. To follow yung sub, center and surrounds.
Not bad din naman ang 2.0 or 2.1 set-up for movies especially kung maganda yung fronts.
-
Onkyo 609 13k, tsi400 4k, tsi200 3.5k, cs20 3k, psw125 4.5k. ;) TOTAL 28,000 cashout
May tira pa sir na 17th.........free na two months na amortization mo ;) all new pa! :D
Check mo sir si sights and sounds, pwede swipe lahat yan, 7th monthly for 12 months all in. The good thing is that you enjoy your gears ryt away and spare you from sleepless nyts of thinking how long will it take to complete your home entertainment.
Gud luck po and hapi hunting. ;D ;D

ang naiisip kong setup (2.1) ay ganito:
Onkyo 609 (pre-owned) - 25k
Polk TSi 100 - 8500
Pilyo sub (JBL GT5-12) - 10900
TOTAL: 44400

Ako get an avr with preouts to future proof your system. Look at the 709 instead of the 609. Or look for the yammie 671. I think that's the lowest yamaha model that has one. Regarding the speaker choices, tama si don master paul/billabong. I suggest you audition first and find the speakers that catches your liking. Regarding the sub, just make sure its not the jbl gt5-s12 model, it's fake.

ako ang payo ko, wag mo na gano pahirapan ang sarili mo, banat lang! kasi kahit anong isip gawin mo ngayon at kung ano man ang maging resulta nyan, im sure mag a-upgrade ka pa din. ( bitternes) ;)
-
I got to audition the Polk TSi 100 earlier at The Listening Room. they sound pretty good and clear to me. though Ronald (the guy who attended to me there) doesn't recommend using it without a sub if I'm gonna listen to hip-hop, rock, or other things that need much low-end punch.
regarding the JBL GT5-12 in marco's subs, I don't think he'll use a fake on his work. he even warned against JBL GT5 fakes on page 1 of his thread. ;)

natawa ako dito. :D
dumaan nga pala muli ako sa JBL concept store. grabe ang patong nila! :o ang laki ng price difference ng jbl products sa kanila compared kina tein at avshop!

Alam ko hanggan POLK RTI A7 need mo pa ng sub pero ung A9 di mo na need ng sub. Ang masasabi ko lang sa pag setup mo pag entry level ang bibilhin mo panigurado after ilang months mag uupgrade ka. ;D ;D

I suggest kung ala ka plan na mag upgrade get the HTIB 5.1 pero kung may plan ka mag 2.0 ka muna para unti unti mo buuin. ;) ;)
-
pagisipan mo mabuti if you will go the htib route or even the polk tsi100. kung ako, unahin ko muna yung front speakers na maayos sa pure audio listening. also, should be flexible enough to be placed as surrounds sa future in case of upgradititis. partner it with a receiver that has a good amp section para maitawid lng. tsaka na muna yung center, sub at surrounds when additional budget comes along. mabubuo mo din yung straight system before you know it. good luck! ;)

I like both routes (5.1 and 2.0). pero nasa isip ko, gusto kong mag-upgrade sa future. ::)

Agree ako kay Master Patrick, maski di nya inaupdate ang signature nya ng mga latest toys na hinakot. :P

I understand your dilemma. Yan ang tinatawag na masarap na problema! ;D
5.1 HTIB - Instant gratification. Meron ka agad complete 5.1 HT set-up pero yung tunog is relatively mediocre. Chances are you're going to upgrade din agad.
2.0 first then slowly to 5.1 - Long term satisfaction. The sound quality will be far better compared to an HTIB. Matutuwa ka dahil paganda ng paganda tunog ng HT mo as you add more components. The itch for upgrades will always be there. But if you start off with a good foundation (your preferred main speakers + a mid-end A/V receiver), the chances of you upgrading is lesser.

+1 to this.
back when i started, i had 50k as budget. i bought a 25k receiver and a 25k HTIB.
the receiver lasted awhile longer, but the HTIB was a total "loss" when upgrading.
25k could buy a decent receiver with preouts back then.
i would recommend the receiver + 2.0 route. then add a sub. then new fronts (move old fronts to rears). then center.

With the right channel and resources yan 50k mo magandang setup na makukuha mo. ;D ;D ;D

I'd go for the Midlevel Receiver + Front Speakers for the 45k budget.
You can check out the new genesis collection from Anthony Audio.
If brand conscious, the RTi A3 would be a good startup speakers given the budget.

I'll probably go for an HK AVR 265 or Onkyo 609/ 616 + Polk TSi 100 for the fronts. I'll relegate the TSi 100s to surrounds when I have the budget for floorstanders and a center channel.
