90 degrees on the dipole, any recommended model or brand? 

i must mention pala that ceiling and floor are all wood

The rule is that as much as possible, all speakers must be of the same brand, preferably same family.

Wood is good but you might put an area carpet between the front speakers and the sofa to absorb the first reflections from the floor.

Maybe the more important decision will be on the receiver. I'm biased for Denon or Onkyo with Audyssey MultEQ or better, MultEQ XT. These are room correction features which are essential for all HT's.
No room acoustic treatment is like running a Ferrari on ice.

Para iwas SARS get  Denon 4311 or Onkyo 3008 w/ audyssey xt32. Laki diperensya especially if it will be matched w/ good subs like the SVS. Mura na lang ngayon at prices ranging from $1100 to $1300.

thanks for all the suggestions. I will start this off with HTIB muna, as i eagerly await an  AVR from the US, di ko kaya price d2  :)

Q1: on AVR - Anyone using  the Zone 2 function, its that like a Front Left-Right in another room? or may other use ba ito sa setup nyo? Does it make sense to provision connection for Zone 2 for music? (i.e. Zone 1 is the HT and Zone 2 is a floor below it (Living room).

Q2: plan is to mount the LED TV to the wall cleanly then let the PJ screen cover it when its PJ mode. do you see any design flaw dun? -- with a PJ screen motorized (found a low cost one), OK lang ba  to put the LED TV mounted to the wall and just set clearance so the PJ screen will drop cleanly?

Ayan na, meron na ko pinto and walls are painting as of this writing.

i ordered a PJ electric for 72" lang, parang malaki masyado if 84" given the depth of the room is < 4meters.

I asked anong ideal height ng LCD, relative to the eye level  -- here's that-

sir makikisabit na din magtatanong lang regarding the placement of the dipole speakers.
when you say dipole eto po ba yung parang wharf DFS? if eto nga po dipa dalawang 45 degree facing na speaker to left/right? will you still mount it dun sa location ng surround (side speakers) or will you put it sa wall sa likod ng sofa?


thanks!

thanks!

the advise i got was to put in the sides not sa rear. i laid speaker wires na rin inside the cornice just in case.

pero mukang dipole nga bagsak ko at 6ft mounted.

Sliding door to the HT room





Yan shot from the room entrance.

Notice black curtain pero may window djan and it opens to our rear backyard, love the airflow kaya pag fully open yung sliding doors ng HT, lusot ang hangin papunta sa airwell (right side ng sliding door).

Egreat S900 3D beside the Popcorn Hour C200(nag-aaway kaya sila sa gabi kung sino mas magaling? hehehe)

Mounted the LED TV 46" finally.  you wont notice kasi may hard table pa din sa harap, na tatakpan ng 2 HD player (si S900 at si C200).
likely i'll transfer the table elsewhere, pagdumating receiver ko.


for audio, abang na all wires nyan 4 sa likod, rest sa harap.
for ceiling mount PJ, abang na rin kasi HDMI at power. cutout na lang pag meron na.

gears( for now):
Enjoying my old HTIB Samsung bundle,  while i wait for the incoming receiver (looking at airplay).



sa lower left, temp rack :
you will see :
PHP 2k Plexing 99,000 songs!
PHP 4k Sakura mixing mike amp  i use to output to  Bose 301 (traded from bien) pang karaoke session mode :)

Sa top ng shelf the Egreat S900 (left) beside Popcorn Hour C200(right). (dont ask kung alin ang region free at may 2D to 3D conversion ha?  pero leftie ako:)
Sa open shelf yung center speaker ng HTIB, then 4 bay NAS (Thecus N4200 that i plan to sell)
yung sa right is a slim imarflex tower fan with remote (walang black eh!)
  






Plan: yang wood rack is molave, likely  palitin yan likely wood pa rin (love the lighter shade of molave) mounted on the wall. dun ko lalagay ang gears.

dami pa kulang eh. HTIB pa lang yan setup. di pa ko happy sa upholstery as those are all from another room.

I ordered the motorized PJ screen, pero saka ko na pa ship pasabay ng other items ko from china.
Still a toss up sa receiver between Onkyo, yamaha, and pioneer, pero likely via anya ito (airplay/3D)

Between the 3, I'd go with Onkyo for its Audyssey calibration. And preferably, get a model with at least a Multi EQ XT. :)

thanks sir, always loved wood,

Problem ko is a tad high that when my wider devices need tO be on top, sakto sa height difference ng table top at ng wall mount. So likely hanap ako ng wood to serve as rack ng wider devices.

Have always monitored your wood work post, one of Those I check everytime am online at Pdvd. Must be very fulfilling to create such pieces

609 only has 2EQ a MultEQ at least would be better but if you can afford MultEQ XT or MultEQ XT 32 mas maganda definitely.

oo tried both USB 3.0 and eSATA, bilis ng transfers. it houses 4 x 2TB na puro movie and movie series.
yung next unit will bear all my 720p movies and Animation (4 x 2TB).

i think meron din silang USB 2.0.

oo nga, masyado lang maliwanag pag in operation yung blue Led indicator sa harap. pero if connected to the NMT, kita mo 4 drives, the fans are hardworking but ok even while watching movie.
