Mga HT enthusiast need your help/opinion in deciding best option/s and looking for other suggestions as well.
Background:
Room - 4m x 3m with acoustic treatment
Receiver - Onkyo TX-NR656 (Pioneer VSX522 before)
I'm currently upgrading my HT to a 5.1.2 dolby atmos set-up. Speakers that i'm using is a Wharfedale Diamond 9 HCP. Initially i just want to get the Onkyo upfiring speakers. However, nasira yung front right speaker ng wharfedale so i'm just thinking to upgrade the whole speaker set. For now kinabit ko muna yung PSB Image T5 as Front and Right that i've taken from my audio setup. Huge difference.
Reasons for upgrading the speakers are:
1. To get the most out of the dolby atmos experience
2. Hirap drive wharfedale and looking for a more efficient speakers. Onkyo volume needs to be at 60 - 65 para enjoy sa movies.
3. Looking for more efficient speakers.
4. Nakahanap reason to buy new speakers
Speaker Options:
Full PSB Option - (Estimate is 24K if go with in B&W in ceiling. No sub yet so price will go up)
a. PSB Image T5 - Front/Right - (Already have it. I used this sa main music room ko)
b. PSB Imagine XC - Need to purchase one
d. B&W in ceiling speakers
e. PSB Imagine XB for surround (Already have it gamit ko sa isang audio setup)
Downside of this one is I need to replace PSB Image T5 and PSB Imagine XB sa audio system ko. So mas mura nga pero in the end mas magastos because need new speakers for my Audio setup.
Whole new set - Paradigm option (Estimated cost is 56k for BS 67k if FS)
a. Paradigm Monitor 7 (FS) or Paradigm Mini Monitor 7 (BS)
b, Paradigm Center 1
c. Paradigm Surround 1
d. Paradigm Cinema Sub Gloss
e B&W CCM-362
Upside is I get to keep my speakers for Audio. Less gastos.
