Night and Day ba difference if palitan ko na yung "bulilit" CS10 center channel ko ng, say CSi A4 or A6?

Im kinda contented naman sa performance nya ngayon, but i don't know what i am missing.

Main concern is placement, as going bigger center ch will require me to replace my AV stand.
Hindi na kakayanin ng stand ko (which is 3 layer glass) if palitan ko ng mas malaki, not to mention if magkakasya.

Putting the centre ch in a stand is no option too.

For surrounds, the Polk audio FXi a4 is better then RTi A1.

Don't mix the the Polk Audio RTi A7 with the CS10. Its not timber match. I would suggest that you also upgrade to the CSi a4 or CSi a6.

Any speakers pwede for home karaoke, music and movies as long as, as master tony would put it, "masaya ka". With that budget, you best bet would be preowned speakers sa MP. Or Konzert speakers kung bnew. But i do believe there are polk and wharf speakers that would suit your budget.

Im currently using Aaudio Titus BS. Ano kaya maganda upgrade dito? Budget is 30k but i can stretch a bit. Tia!

sientobente · « **Reply #2293 on:** Feb 11, 2014 at 11:52 AM »

^what kind of sound are you looking for? If you'd like warm sounding bookshelves, I highly recommend the monitor audio rx1 and rega rs1

Juice111 · « **Reply #2294 on:** Feb 12, 2014 at 03:15 PM »

How about recommendations for a low profile centre speaker? Budget from low to medium.

Hi all,

My current set-up:

Denon 1713
Mission M73 (fronts)
Mission M7C1 (center)
Mission M70 (rear)
Velo CHT (sub)

The Denon 1713 is new. And because I just upgraded my receiver, I am now itching to "upgrade" my speakers.

I read somewhere that one should spend 2 or 3 times the worth of your receiver for speakers. Assuming that to be true, I should be looking at speakers in the 30-45k range.

My current options are:

Option 1 - Zensor 5 (fronts) + Vokal (center) and maintain my rear speakers; or
Option 2 - Boston Acoustics A250 (fronts) + A225 (center).
Option 3 - just keep my current set up

My worry is that I am just so happy about my new amp that I am rushing to buy new speakers and will just hear what I want to hear - that these new speakers sound far better than my current ones. Hahaha. Should price (of the speakers) even be a consideration?

Thoughts anyone?

disturbed · « **Reply #2298 on:** Feb 13, 2014 at 06:39 PM »

I go for option 3! nothing beats more pesos in your pockets hehe! I think you already have a decent setup sir..try treating your listening room or area sir..I think mas mag benefit ka doon and will give you more sound improvements

jh@meeh · « **Reply #2299 on:** Feb 13, 2014 at 06:58 PM »

Or buy another sub for dual set up.

mykel18 · « **Reply #2300 on:** Feb 13, 2014 at 07:16 PM »

Option 1 ako. Heard them and its really good. Compared with your Mission, the Zensor's are award winning making it a reasonable upgrade. Listen to your system closely and decide if you are still enjoying that sound or you prefer a newer/different sound.

I'd go with option 1. Dali's are awesome! (powered by the right amp of course

)

Part 2 of my query (with revised options):

Option 1 - Zensor 5 (fronts) + Vokal (center) and maintain my rear speakers; or
Option 2 - Mission MX3 (fronts) + MXC2 or MXC3 (center)
Option 3 - just keep my current set up

Thanks for quick response. Kind of leaning towards that as well

Btw, may I get your thoughts on this as well -

when I was first buying my speakers, I was told to buy the floorstander version because at that time, I couldn't afford yet to buy the subwoofer. now that I have a subwoofer already, should I be looking at book shelf speakers (for example the Dali Zensor 1 or 3), rather than floorstanders?

Floorstander still since you're using one right now. I'm guessing your room suits floorstander than bookshelf. Unless the room is very small.

HiFi FreQs · « **Reply #2306 on:** Feb 19, 2014 at 10:50 PM »

You have a very good set-up no need to change at all. Perhaps a little tweaking in the speaker placement like tilting or adding platforms the front speakers so that the tweeters will face and reach a bit ear level. Perhaps reorienting your sub to a location where it will produce more sub bass freqs than just boom. But if you think (subconsciously) that a pair of new speakers will make you happy, then so be it. Perhaps you might want to consider the mission mx series. Check them at www.hififreqs.webs.com, there's a "see reviews" link there. Cheers!

If i had money for a floostander, pero may BS na better SQ (and swak sa budget) than the floorstander i had in mind, mag-BS ako.
