5Speed's Simple AV setup....
« on: Oct 06, 2006 at 12:51 PM »
Just want to share my old gears....... not as 'high end' as what our pinoydvd masters had, but I am still contented with my setup for now.... I have these for years already...


Front View: AV Rack from Ikea. The LCD TV and Speaker stands is a DIY project...


Front Speakers: Mission M72i


Center Speaker: Mission M3c2


Rear Surrounds: Mission M70


Back Surround: Mission M7c1


Subwoofer: Magnat Motion Series


AVR: Denon 1804


DVD Player: Pioneer 676s (SaCD/DVD-A capable)


Couch/Sofa: Ikea Sofa Bed w/ Ikea oversize throw pillows ;D


another view.... DIY mount and shelf for back surrounds, Rear speaker stands from friendly A/V store  ;D


Display: Phillips 32" LCD TV with ambilights and PiP


in action, with Eagles Farewell Tour 1: Live in Melbourne... :)


Some of my CD's and DVD's.....others that are seldom used are in the box.. CD/DVD Rack from HMV...


Universal Remote: RadioShack Kameleon.....makes my life a bit easier... ;D

Many thanks to ser Munskie for helping me out regarding how to post a pix.. ;)

someday, I will upgrade everything.....hehehehe





Minor changes on my old setup

Can't sleep tonight....and I found myself checking my old digital camera :)


Minor changes in appearance..


Upgrade of gear in this area...


Additional gear on this part...


Additional Nad C535BEE CD player....forgot the brand of the interconnects though..


Upgrade the DVD player to Philips DVP5986K, it can upscale to 1080P...


My M72i now sits on a Steel Stands


New speaker cables...


Bi-wire Speaker Cable....this thing is heavy...


Upgrade my subwoofer to Velodyne VX10 Series 2.....


Additional Rack..


Some photo of the back surround with back lights on...


Back Surround with lights off...


My viewing area....

Not seen on the picture is the Monster Home Theater Power Centre HTS1000 MKIII with Clean Power Stage 2 for clean power and surge protection. :)


Thanks again for looking.... :) :) :)

Kung ako'y magagawi uli sa Hong Kong,
Di pa alam kung  kanino ako magtatanong.
Pero kung papalarin baka makasama si 5speed,
Cgurado sa aking pasyal ako'y makakatipid.
Sa ganda ng set-up nya, cgurado tayo ay marerelax,
Sana kung namili sa HMV, pag-uwi ay di tayo ma-TAX!!

congrats again 5 speed!!  ;D ;D

Master Matzz....

thank you ser.....okay pa naman yung sound nya...in fact ilang ulit na rin akong nakakatok nung neighbors ko...... yun nga lang pag minsan eh nangangati na mag-upgrade lalo na kapag me nakikita at naririnig na bagong gears....hehehe buti na lang at effective pa yung anti-SARS ko.... ;D

BTW, yesterday eh nakakita ako ng bagong Mission speakers...M6  series yata, floorstander at bookshelf.....sayang nga lang at low batt na yung cellphone ko...di ko tuloy nakunan ng pix...... Ganda...kaya lang parang maliit yung drivers nya compared sa M5 at M3 series, iba na rin ang shape nya, di na boxy as in rectangular shape....bagong release daw yon under the new owner/management of Mission UK....at yung unang batch eh talagang made in England....sayang, di ko narinig tumunog dahil me nag-a-audition ng PMC speakers.... :(

The M6 is the old Volare series that has been available here for years now. Also UK made.
