[praktikal]

you mean na feature sa magz ito amigo.

as sir Mark's usual advice, ilabas mo ng konti ang center speaker if di kayang ipatong sa topmost. wala naman atang takip ang upper potion ng rack so no need to move your center everytime you need it. since monochromatic ang color scheme ng place mo mas lumutang ang gears -- ganda!

congrats and welcome to the gallery! 

[XXXyzledge]

Nice & Neat !!!

Congrats & welcome to PDVD Gallery!

yes sir it was featured before na chambahan lang   noted, ill move the center speaker.

im saving for a sub to replace my old one, hirap when i showed my wife the subs that i like wala daw malalagyan. We dont have that much space. The only option is to place the sub on the side of the small table (with candles) in the dining area. Since exposed wires is a no no here have to create a hole so the power cord and wires of the sub can pass through the wall.

Thanks!

Salamat sir. posting your setup here also gives that extra pressure to update your pics, and how do you update them? by upgrading your gears.. patay early SARS symptoms na ata

Tama ... and the left & right speakers would also sound better if they are mounted beside the TV. Kasi nasa tabi sila ngayon ng walls and the principle is to locate the speakers as far from the wall as practically possible. Otherwise, some bass frequencies will be over-emphasized and that will "muddy" the sound.

You should also "toe-in" the speakers so that they point at the ears of the listener. You will get better high frequency response that way. For the center speaker, try to tilt them a bit upwards so that the tweeter also points at the ears.

Noted Sir. Ill make the adjustments later, maraming salamat!

May established protocol na kasi. 

Thanks! Sir what do you mean when you say mangkukulam? 

Warlock sir. Mga lalaking witches na walang inatupag kundi buyuin ang mga TS ng HT gallery upang mag-upgrade ng gamit. 

Don't mind them sir. Mga walang magawa sa buhay yan mga yan.     

Kesyo hihiritan ka nila na magpalit ka ng sub kasi di hamak na masbagay sa new HT nyo. Na-madali lang naman i-stealth ang mga wires kasi may mga rubber wire runners na available. may makakakita ng magandang guitar nyo, then sasabihin nila, a new sub would definitely rock your world.  May mga warlocks pa dyan na sasabihin sa inyo na since white ang motif nyo, na ang linis tignan, di hamak na masarap lagyan ng PJ kasi the stock color of some PJs and screens would perfectly blend sa interior nyo.

Pero since nasa page 1 pa lang ng gallery nyo kaya hindi sila makahirit.
