Reposting for jaygee75,


 ??? Which receiver is better a Yammy rx 620 110W/chn or an Onkyo txds 494 which has DPL2 100/chn?

And Is wharfdale 8.3 , 8.1 and Center any good?

or JBL LX 2002, 2000c and 2001 better

Should i get d pioneer 533 DVD plyr

I hav limited budget abt 40K max

any shops u can recommend?



I suggest get a Pioneer 233 then get a Yamaha 420 and you still have money left for good speakers. You can get a B&W LCR3 for center and B&W303 for fronts then save for the rear speakers. You can also get yamaha or Wharfedale speakers, if you want to complete everthing. Just my 1 cent

Hi jaygee . . i actually posted the same question about a week ago . .a a now on the set-up help thread.

anyway, halos pareho tayong budget and checking out the same models as you do . .

heard from the gurus to just get
a. pioneer 233 - around 9,800php

b. denon 1602 receiver - they said its below 20k, ut don't know which shop offers best price; ill check electronics depot in a while

kaya lang lalabas daw next week ang new models ng yamaha, so we better wait daw

c. front speakers like B&W (around 10k) - i tried it last night and nagustuhan ko tunog

would just like to know reviews about JBL LX series, dahil its around the same price range as B&W???

sige happy scouting and hope we get the help of the GURUS here . .hwaag daw tayo magmadali . . ithought i can enjoy it this wkend aleady

dagul, try electronics depot again . .may stock na and try negotiating, i think they can give it at around 20k

levi, you recommended B&W front and center first . . puede ba iyun 3-pc lang?  I was told na dapat kasama na ang surround if I use the center?

Ok ba i-match ang B&W with Denon? ???

You start with the front then if you still have some budget ,then buy a center, then eventually the surround.  I dont mean that you can use 3pc setup but due to budget constraint, you just have to wait till you complete evrything. You can also use old speakers for the surround while waiting. Just my 1 cent

hi onedown,

technically a receiver is not required to watch videos.  you can just buy a dvd player and connect it directly to your TV and use the built in speakers of your TV.

yung function ng receiver is to split the audio to the different channels (front, center, surround, sub) para surround yung sounds mo.  let us say yung movie merong gunshot from behind, then yung receiver will process the sound so that you can hear the gunshot only sa surround speakers mo.  then parang you are part of the movie kasi you'll hear the sound din from the back.  parang ikaw yung binanaril.

syempre kung may receiver ka mas enjoy manood ng movies...   :D

para sa mga pro sa HT, tama ba explanation ko?   ???

hi onedown,

dni,

i can imagine what you mean (hehehe). pero, hindi ako discriminating pagdating dyan. as long as the video and audio are clear enough to be understood, ok na sa akin. right now, 'ala pa kasi akong dvd player. nakikinood pa lang ako.
peace man!

Would it make sense to have two front speakers and 1 center speaker lang for the moment? Kasi yun mga receivers may virtual or stereo mode eh.. would that mean walang lalabas sa center channel when set to this mode?

or some DVDs support 2-channel output, does this mean that left and right fronts lang lalabas yun sound and wala sa center?

Thanks all!

Furry,

While you don't have surround speakers, you may want to use virtual mode (...or the avr activates this, by default, depending on the speaker setup configuration on the AVR, and the activated DSP or effect setting).  If you are set to DD5.1, DTS or even DPL, merong lalabas na center channel sound.  For DD5.1 and DTS, basta me center channel info, lalabas sa center speaker yon dahil discrete digital ang encoding.  For DPL, "matrixed" ang center channel ng in-phase signals coming from L+R channels.  Nung una, habang walang surround, at di pa gawa kwarto ko, ganito setup ko.

Pag DD 2.0, lalabas pa rin yun sa center pag in phase ang signal ng L+R, as long as enabled ang DPL mo. Pero, the move to a 5.1 speaker setup is a giant leap so don't expect too much from a 3 speaker setup.  Dinaya lang sa Virtual DSP para kunwari me depth ang sound kahit walang speaker physically.

Saw in your other posts Yammy 1200 and Dyna floorstanders ang setup mo.  Tindi!  Kung di ako nagmadali late last year, ganyan sana gusto ko.  Enjoy.

Oops sorry, my mistake.  Feline kasi pareho ang dating ng mga pseudonyms nyo kaya nalito ako.

Anyway, YammyRXV800+B&W600's ang setup ko.  Wala pa subs, shakers lang.  Am seriously considering the MS907 (yun lang pasok sa budget ko eh) pero out of stock lagi.

If you don't have any surrounds yet, you may want to consider the cc6 or the lcr6 so that when you upgrade, you may consider the 602s or 603s and then move your 303s (i hope i assumed correctly) to the back. - my unsolicited advice.

Bejiboys ;)

hahahah :) no problem. May mga thread kami ni meowpao na sunod-sunod eh.. nakakalito nga! hehehe :) Okay ang setup mo ah.. i almost bought a Yammy too! Na-discover ko lang Denon dito sa pinoydvd eh.

For now, I cannot afford B&W600 series na! hanggang 303 na lang talaga ako and I am really satisfied with its performance for my fronts, and most probably will be buying the same for the surrounds. I can't believe na-addict ako sa home theater! I never would imagine :) Are you using LCR3 din?

pasingit mga tsong, balak ko ring mag 600 series,
ang question ko,
okay lang ba na 300 series yung surround ko kung naka-600 ang front ko?
o mas maganda kung 600 series all throughout?

ok rin lang ba kung naka-floorstander ako sa harap tapos yung 601 o 303 lang sa likod?

last question:
kung maliit lang yung sala namin, okay lang ba na mag-floorstander?
::)

Kawboy, may mga nag recommend ng ganyan setup especially if you can afford the 600 series, then yun 303 sa surround na lang :)

Question for everyone, what speaker cables do you usually use for surround? mahal kasi pag mag Kimber or Ixos pa ako eh ang layo ng surround speakers sa receiver! lugi! hahaha :)

Kawboy, ano yun timbre matching? sa speakers lang ba yun nag-apply or pati sa cables? ano ang mangyayari when that happens?

Pre, you can always use Pro-Audio speaker cables.  They have prices ranging from P30-120.00/meter depending on the gauge of your cables.

skabyol,

malaki talaga ang price difference ng floorstander na 603 sa 303; kahit yung pinaka mura sa 600 series, yung standmount na 601, ay mas mahal sa 303 dahil higher-end ang 600 series.

ganun pa man, medyo mahal ata ang na-quote sa iyo - unless nagtaas na sila ng presyo. Alam ko makukuha mo yung 303 ng mga P10K at yun 603 ng mga P33-P36K.
