go for a 5.1 set up na agad if you are more into movies.mas makakapagbigay ng magandang advice yung mga expert kung magbibigay ka ng budget mo

Are you sure na 6 sq meters? That's only about 2 x 3 meters sir..

With an area that small I think you're already good with the HTIB (Home Theater In Box) package. I suggest you try it out first.

Kung nabitin at saka na mag-upgrade..

But in any case, I agree with Jhelenz na maganda kung 5.1 set-up.

Sir Billabong suggestion is good to take, if you're not satisfied then thats the time to sell your HTIB, coz w/ the floor area you mentioned the HTIB will bring justice. wala pang add on gastos

go for the ones na may Optical input as you will need this for your "future NMT". usually si Samsung ang meron, but I heard even LG meron na din. it will cost you around 8k to 15k depende kung tall boy o yung small satelites lang.

Try mo muna yun, baka naman OK na. ayus lang mag upgrade to a "separates" system ( recevier+ speakers) at least maririnig mo talga yung night and day difference nilang dalawa kesa talon ka agad sa mas mahal na option.

if you are going to HTIB route, try

Logitech Z906

or

Logitech Z5500

both are THX certified and can handle DD and DTS.

if you start an HTIB, You "MAY" eventually upgrade, some do, some dont upgrade, depends on how content you are

. You can not upgrade an HTIB, so its pretty much sell the whole package and get a new system.

With 30K, I would start with a 2.0 system, get a second hand 5.1 AVR, DVD player and Front speakers. When funds allow add the following in this order
1. Subwoofers,
2. Center Channel
3. Rear Speakers

this is pretty much OK if space is not an issue

for consideration ko po sir... another question? meron na po ba wireless na satellite speakers so that ma-iplace accordingly (i.e. rear speakers etc ) . what brand?

coastal · « **Reply #20 on:** Aug 26, 2011 at 06:54 AM »

I think Sony or LG has wireless htib systems. But these could be quite expensive given the technology. Besides the sound quality may be subject to signal transmission interference from external sources (running motors, radio, etc.) and may only disappoint you vis-a-vis the cost. Better go with the wired system approach.

praktikal · « **Reply #21 on:** Aug 26, 2011 at 08:12 AM »

back late 90's may nakita akong philips 5.1 na wireless. mahirap sa wireless, di mo maupgrade. cute lang kc wireless but baka wla pang isang taon benta mo na unless you simply enjoy it and never login to pdvd - ever.

tinoysounds · « **Reply #22 on:** Aug 26, 2011 at 08:15 PM »

your inputs on this plan set up of mine...
TV: Samsung UA40D5000 (plan to buy)
HTib: still undecided

given the space i'd mentioned, am i on the right track?
w/ the intended usage of 90% watching movies / concerts ?

pa3ck608 · « **Reply #23 on:** Aug 26, 2011 at 09:08 PM »

tip lng sir. try mo muna pakinggan yung htib at yung ht na separates, then decide if you can live with the htib.

bro baka mapaaga ang retirement ng thread. at mapunta ang OP sa threads na "help me choose an avr" etc.

coastal · « **Reply #25 on:** Aug 29, 2011 at 01:58 PM »

I still think your best bet is an onkyo htib. At least the bundled receiver allows you to expand and you can replace your speakers if you find necessary. But given the room area, the htib speakers would be sufficient. I'm not an onkyo htib user, but comparing with the available ones, i.e., lg, sony, samsung, etc. this would be a standout.

tinoysounds · « **Reply #26 on:** Aug 29, 2011 at 05:59 PM »

sir Coastal, i'm seriously considering na po yung Onkyo HTib po...

Good for you. Get the 3D-ready system para at least me future-proof ka. Next year ko pa pursue yung 3D e if feasible. Still happy with my Marantz setup. Godspeed with your endeavor!
