May established protocol na kasi.  ;D

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

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

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.

Warlocks or Mangkukulam :) haha thanks sir. actually ok lang din sa akin magpakulam, given the right time and resources available. ayos lang  ;D

sir what is a PJ?  :)

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.


as suggested by streetsmart,  i placed the speakers near the TV

Here's a list of acronyms used in Pinoydvd: http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,54967.60.html

Tell us if you hear a difference with the difference in speaker position. Also point them inwards, towards your head.

wala pang kumukulam, let me start...  ;D

since you said you dont have adequate space for a sub. i suggest you look at the svs pc series (tubular) subs, space saving but definitely goes deep too.

i will let the others guide you to where you can find this sub...  ;D

played Dave matthews "crash into me" and during the intro parang merong echo yung acoustic guitar (if you're not familiar to the song baka hindi mo marinig). Eto yung speakers placed near the walls.  ???

Played the same track but this time the speakers are placed near the TV, almost ear level and angled ng konti. wala na yung echo and mas clear.  ;D  ;D  ;D

Thanks Mr. Streetsmart!

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  ;D





Oooops hindi naman po ganon. :( You dont need to upgrade your gears if you are still very much happy with it,wag ka muna pumatol sa kantyaw ;D biro lang po lahat yon or sometimes inggit yung iba kaya gusto ka isubo sa alanganin ;D ;D ;D. Just keep in mind, you dont have to please anybody but your wife and yourself, basta happy ka na you have to be contented na. Yung tweaks naman, very minor po yon and most of the time libre mo makukuha yon sa ating mga fellow members ;)

It's a neat setup indeed.

Curious lang sir, is the layer where the TV is placed fixed? Or nakapatong lang sa rack? Thanks!

That's nice to hear.

It would also help if you bring out the center speaker a little more into the room. Make it jut out a little bit from the edge of the shelf. It's not good for any speaker to be enclosed and the center speaker happens to be the most important. Aside from "boundary effects," you also get other problems like diffraction.

Salamat. Nakapatong lang sir. Here’s a pic of my old setup ☺

the way i see it, di mo nga kailangan ang PJ. di mo lang mamaximize ang gamit dito. nabanggit mo about the echo when you moved the speakers. kaya sa palagay ko makakatulong itong link na to: http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php/topic,3739.0.html

meantime, you may add plants and curtains to minimize if not eliminate such echo.
