Pre, just go to your friendly neighborhood aluminum and glass supply. Had mine made for P500 each two years ago. But, an officemate told me that the frame, just like my Dolby and THX poster, cost only P1,000.00 at Hidalgo (mine was P1,200 from a cross-stitch framing shop near our place also 2 years ago).

Nice neat set-up! Congrats!

May I suggest that, if you have space, you should try to move your seats a little bit forward. The closer you sit to the rear wall, the bigger will be your bass problems. The bass will become boomy as you get closer to a wall. Or maybe have 2 rows of seats, the front with an even number and the rear with an odd number. The front seats should have a flatter bass response.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I have very limited real estate

. OTOH, I have not noticed any bass problems so far. Despite the modest gears, the system performs surprisingly good -- too good perhaps (to me, of course) that I haven't upgraded it since 2004 hehe

Hehe...I agree. Mejo high-investment na yan sir. Even your audio gears are clearly not 'budget.'
Nice HT/ AUDIO rig Jairus!

Thank you kefq and Marl1 for the compliment.

Relatively though, these gears, taken individually, are really just budget bang-for-the buck equipment. Part of the fun in being a member of this community is the joy of hunting for those bargains. I already miss the Marketplace, its good we have pinobazaar to tide us up for the meantime.
