Aha, sa'yo pala yung Atmos speakers na nakita ko one time.  Congratulations on the setup, sir!  :-)
How much did you spend for those speakers?

congrats.. looks like a well sorted system. I am using an Onkyo TX-NR 737, I was looking at the 646 but the cheaper sale price of the 737 lured me... according to numerous reviews I've read, the 646 is very capable.

@dimfer - thanks sir! I actually just came from a 636...the 737 is a very good choice for sure. :) Yup, the 646 is pretty good, i would definitely recommend the 747 once you decide to upgrade. It addresses some of the issues of the previous models with the DTS-X upgrade option. Or better yet, maybe the 757? ;) thanks again.

Hey guys!

After a relatively long hiatus from HT stuff, just finished building up a new one. :) It's in our bedroom in a condo unit, so the space is relatively small and the setup does give a pretty good HT experience for what it is.

Here we go, sharing the gear with a 5.1.2 config:
LG 65" UF860V
Anthony Audio Titus Gold FS
Anthony Audio Titus Gold Center
Anthony Audio Atmos Speakers, Front
Anthony Audio Atmos Speakers, presently used as surrounds
SVS SB-2000 + Auralex Subdude v2
Onkyo TX NR-646
Mede8er 500x2 + 4 bay external RAID 5
OTT MS8





Thanks PDVD! :)
where did you get that table =)

I think the 737 will stay for a while >:D I use it strictly for HT and quite a step up compared to my previous HTIB. The 646 was less than $200 more expensive than the 737 when I bought mine, and I could probably stretch the budget if so inclined, but I didnt. Main reason is I watch movies with my wife 90% of the time, and she complain when the sound is loud (same reason why I never upgrade my car's stereo/speakers), so the immersive effect of all the Atmos and other ek eks are usually suppresed. We were watching I Am Wrath last night, there was a bar scene, and the sound was actually pretty good, considering I am also using cheapo Mordaunt Short monitors as front speakers.

If I use the system for music, or I can crank volume way up when watching movies, then I would serious consider the 646.

how's the 646 compared to the 636? is having DTS-X a big upgrade?

I used to own a much more expensive receiver (Arcam Diva 300), but don't really miss it now that I use the Onkyo. I think Onkyo offers excellent value.

very nice system, rj_md!  :D


I'm curious, what do you think of the SB2000's performance for home theater?

@joogeman - i made the table, hehe. Thanks! :)

@dimfer - Same here, mostly used for movies as the wife and i are very much into it more than music. Would most likely get a saparate setup for music if ever. As far as i know, i dont think the dtsx upgrade is released yet (the lack of material also makes it less of a priority). Its the little things, like improved accueq, lip sync, more minor adjustments on the fly, and overall setup  that makes the difference (and more of a "future-proof" update if anything)...Yeah, i personally can't justify any update for my receiver anytime soon as well. You're on spot with the great value part. :)

@DTNS - i think it's excellent! I used to have a ported downfiring polk sub. The boom was there of course, but a tad too boomy for the room now (condo unit). I thought going with the SB2000 would still give me that low sound without the boom but minus a certain amount of character to the low end. I was very pleased to get an even fuller sound than my previous polk, and without the muddy, boomy bass. A tighter, more controlled sound for sure, but enough body for an enjoyable ht experience, especially in our small room setup (without distubing the neighbors...the auralex helps as well). :) if in a larger room, and not in a condo, i would most likely consider a bigger, ported svs. The sb-2000 delivers for our needs without a doubt.
