mataas nga ceiling mo, sure ka 9 meters up? almost 3 floors na yun.

why 7.1 only? should be at least 7.2 para dual subwoofer.

include also sound proofing/acoustic absorbers/bass traps etc. tutal 5x5 meters ka lang kaya mura lang maging total though you have cathedral height.

THE best, centerpiece element of a home cinema is the projector. Please take the time to consider my YAMAHA DPX-1300 720P/1080i DLP projector (P18,000), or the JVC RS-2u 1080p LCOS (P3,900), SHARP XVX12000 DLP (P15,000). These are used units but they're solid, durable equipments with working bulbs, able to serve for many more years. The 1300 has 300+ hours on the bulb, the JVC has 1,400+ (now dim), and Sharp has a brand-new lamp taken from Germany (good for 2,000 hours). Thank you for listening Sir, Alice Go (09202-833-970).....

thanks for the offer madam... im looking for bnew units ...cheers

Unahin mo muna ang room and acoustic treatment. Napakalaking factor ang room treatment. It's mostly at least 25-45% of the sound quality. PM me when you hit Manila. I maybe able to hook you up with the dealers. You can also check out my room to prove to you that room treatment is very crucial.

As streetsmart's sig says, "No room acoustic treatment is like running a Ferrari on ice.".

Even if you don't buy products from me, no biggie naman because alam naman ng Pdvd peeps na nakakakilala sa akin. Kape lang ang katapat ko.  ;)

Mid/lows and extension ng flutter echoes ang problem niyan. Meron kaunti sa 60-70hz, 120-140hz pero kapag na-tame na ang mid/lows, may slight improvement sa 60-70hz. Ang highs madali lang pero w/o treatment, ang gagawin ng auto calibration ng receiver is to roll off the highs. Kaso mawawala yun "bakal" na tunog.

so balak ko sana carpeted floors and gypsum board ceiling and padded walls lang.... hehehe tipid meals

also the room have 2 rows with different seating height.

Please do not forget to include an Earth Ground in your electrical layout. Preferably all outlets with Earth Ground . The Earth Ground made the floor noise of my system much more quiet.

I suggest you put hangers on the pipes to control movement and weight when flushing; and put a thick layer of epoxy on the joints. You dont want them to have a leak and ruin equipment.

Good luck!

Btw I hope they did not use vulca seal to join the pieces, that will surely leak in the long run.

For the wiring do not forget ground wiring. It helps a lot to make your floor noise to be as low as possible.
