Title: Poor Man's Home Theater and Stereo Setup
Post by: saolmatt on Feb 01, 2015 at 11:01 AM: I am a newbie in Audio. Just started a year ago. Please bear with my setup, I have limited space and budget so I have a not timber matched set of speakers for my home theater and stereo setup. Once budget permits I'm planning to upgrade to all B&W set of speakers and also upgrade my subwoofer to SVS.

Here are my setup
Onkyo TX-NR709 7.2 network receiver
Sony SS-X9S 3 way florstander
Polk Audio TSI 100
B&W DM600 S3
B&W HTM62
Boston Acoustics ASW250
NAD 326; Added NAD 375BEE
Audio Technica LP1240
Pioneer PD-217
Polkaudio RTIA7
Denon DN-S3000
HTPC for XBMC media player
Musiland Monitor 01
JBL PT800
Dynaco ST70
KEF LS50

I tihnk he does not necessarily need a DAC because his CDP has a built-in DAC already.

Post by: tein on Feb 14, 2015 at 02:19 PM: Nice gears! ^ I agree. No a poormans setup ;)
Title: Re: Poor Man's Home Theater and Stereo Setup
Post by: zram18 on Feb 14, 2015 at 02:48 PM: i watched your video, nice gears having separate setup for music and movies, four floorstanding branded speakers,separate amp and receiver, with subwoofer- this is already a pricey setup.

maybe you can add a little sound isolation/sound proofing materials for reflective surfaces for a better audio. i noticed that you have a very limited space for the cluttered gears, maybe the reason why you settled for a small led tv.

your video is comprehensive, precise and humble down to earth with its title as poorman's setup. (i realized i am poorer than you...)

and you have a nice voice too, you can be a good DJ.

Post by: saolmatt on Feb 27, 2015 at 06:47 PM: Thanks sir zram18. I will look into adding sound isolation once I have enough budget

I agree with you. maskailangan ng sound absorbers lalo na sa very small room because immediate and malakas ang reflections jan. Maaaring noticeable ang fine flutter echoes pero big difference pa din kung may sound absorbers in the proper place.

And since you mentioned sound reflections, may may friendly and suking sellers tayo dito sa marketplace. May free advice pa! ;)

Post by: box1025 on Mar 15, 2015 at 05:12 PM: Wow, kung ang tawag mo dito ay poor man setup. Ano kaya ang tawag sa setup ko (nanliit ang mga gears ko hehe). Congrats very good setup indeed.

Post by: shoktongxxx on Mar 15, 2015 at 05:18 PM: congrats sir..pang poor man pa yan ha.. :D
Title: Re: Poor Man's Home Theater and Stereo Setup
Post by: zram18 on Mar 15, 2015 at 05:20 PM: sir based on the manuals, hindi advisable na nakapatong ang mga gears from each other especially yung amp kc umiinit yun.

if i were you, i will use av rack to separate the gears and leave small ventilation on top for sufficient air flow.
Title: Re: Poor Man's Home Theater and Stereo Setup
Post by: saolmatt on Mar 28, 2015 at 12:05 PM: Noted sir. I have limited space but will try to invest on avrack. Tnx
