Just want to share my simple set up with you guys. Hope you'll enjoy.
Any comments and suggestions will be gladly appreciated
It all started with a simple HP desktop, a birthday gift from my wife last Aug. 2009
Then I used my good old Ganzklar 5.1 HTiB for my sounds. I was very satisfied and really enjoyed the set up...
Upgraded the monitor to Chimei 23" LCD. A really bang for buck monitor during those times
It was June 2010 when I upgraded the monitor to AVision 42AL69 with 120Hz motion flow. I can say that this TV was an amazing product, it can rival the more expensive Samsung and Lg LCD's that time.
After a few months I bought a second hand Logitech Z5300 5.1 PC speaker system and Creative X-Fi soundcard... Wala na kong actual pics
I think it was December when I gave my NVidia 9800gt to my nephew as a gift and downgraded my VC to HD5450, after knowing that this video card could bitstream HD audio and after much reading here in Pdvd specifically the HT Gallery, I was convinced to try the full HT route
I sold my Z5300, Creative sound and MSI u230 netbook and bought the Onkyo 508 AVR, Polk Audio TSi 100, CS10 and the Mirage Omni S8 subwoofer March 2011
Then after a few weeks there was a good news that we will be given performance bonus and I immediately grab the opportunity to upgrade to Polk Audio RTi A3 and A4... Was inspired by brader Courage here
I sold the TSi100 and CS10 then bought these babies April 2011
I was really enjoying the sound of the RTi set up but you can't really help the itch to try the best Polk has to offer. So in preparation of getting the LSi9 and LSiC, I traded the Onkyo 508 to Onkyo TX-SR805
After hooking up the Onkyo 805 to the RTis I was amazed of how the RTis sounded. They were more fuller and detailed. The power output of the 805 really made the difference
Then I decided it was time to upgrade the video side. First I sold the AVision 42AL69. It was really hard to let go of this TV because it is quite a performer but had to produce budget for the TV upgrade. After which I bought the Toshiba 47XL700. Picture quality of this LED TV is comparable to Plasma TVs. And the 14bit video processing is really amazing plus the 100 clear scan. The cable booster is also a bonus!!!
Then after a few days watching on the 47XL700 I noticed na parang maliit lang yung difference nya in terms of size to my previous 42" so I inquired sa SnS if I could upgarde to the 55" and luckily they offered to get the 47XL700 without price depreciation and I added for the price difference. And now I'm completely satisfied with the 55XL700. Ngayon malaki na talaga and size difference. And sarap manood, sulit na sulit
