Topic: Tonedeaf's HT/audio set up

[iiinas]

what's a sat-sub set-up? satellite speakers? what are the good brands for these type of speakers?

yup satellites. i think polk has some satellites. but energy and definitive technologies are the award winning ones. yun lang nga, i think a set includes the sub. ganda na sub mo maam, or just buy the set then sell the sub from the set para you can keep your velo.

[audiojunkie]

you can check paradigm also....     


just my thought?...   

[ment]

Thinking of replacing my Mission speakers (M73, MC71, M30i) with a soundbar. Reason: space contraints when I move later this year. I won't have a dedicated HT room and I don't want to duplicate my present set up which was wires all over. Plus, the space I will save for not having floorstanders. Para sub na lang problema ko.

My best candidate so far is the Polk Audio Surroundbar. Speakers lang siya talaga, so I can use my present receiver, sub and video sources.

thoughts?

kung di na practical maglagay ng speakers then this should do .....

i have heard the yamaha .... not really impressed ..... but then  at the time i didn't really paid serious attention to it .... as i was just fascinated by the idea that one system can recreate 5.1

FYI, I'm moving houses early this year. I'll be selling my Sabre Luna stand (seen in photo above). Should be available no later than middle of March 2010.

Still can't figure out whether to keep my set up, modify it slightly to get smaller fronts or get a surroundbar. Decisions, decisions.

My experience on the soundbar so far when I had a Philips soundbar. It worked well because it was a small room. By the time I had moved it to the living room. It didn't give me the punch I was looking for.

Just my 2 cents. Check it out first. There are a lot of Soundbars out there from Philips, Teac and Polk as well.

Coming soon....

@Onkyo606,

Dati pa kasi, mahilig na ako sa movies at music. So it was a logical progression for me to start buying HT stuff when I could afford them. Mahirap yata if wala masyadong hilig ang wife mo sa mga ganitong bagay. For example, a lot of my friends can't understand my fascination as well - mas masarap daw bumili ng bag or shoes or clothes.

Coming soon....

nice!

Been a bit busy lately, never got around to updating. But here's the finished product:




Decided to retain my floorstanders, instead of getting a soundbar.

Planning to upgrade my receiver next year, kasi medyo luma na ang Onkyo 494 ko  Is this the best route to take? Or do I upgrade my fronts instead?

nice ganda sir ang linis! congrats! 

[frootloops]

Ganda!!

I will let go of the 494 ma'm if I were in your shoes and get a higher model at least an Onkyo 6xx series or anything equivalent w/ other brand.

I like the final outcome of the entertainment center both colors & design. Congrats!

Congrats Ma'am! Very nice and neat.

thanks sa lahat ng bumati sa mga nagandahan, si Levi ang nag-design ng unit ko. Will take more pics this weekend, pati placement ng surrounds.

you could get better picture by trying out a better hdmi cable than cd r king . i used to have around 7.. for kicks i'd swap one out just to change the picture. i'm satisfied na with my hdmi-x. i have an hdmi-a and a dh labs lying around. wanna borrow ?

Hi Mam,

   How do you like the sound now that you've  boxed your front speakers? BTW, very neat set up!

[Nelson de Leon]

Nice. Parang wifey ko, comment ng comment sa system ko. Mahilig din kasi. Ok yun pagkaka-enclose ng FS. Wag lang sana tamaan ng SARS kunsi sayang yun gastos sa enclosure. I hope madaling kalasin, relocate or convert into a rack or sumthin in the near future.

Congrats!

Hmm...wala naman ako napapansin na difference in sound. kasi the front portion of the enclosure is like a net lang, sound waves can easily pass through.

ang mas pansin ko, in terms of my rear speakers. the placement isn't as ideal in light of space constraints. pero puwede na din

Madaling alisin ang front cover. Pero yung full enclosure, kailangan ng panday kung gustong alisin

For future upgrades, siguro ang limitation lang is that the speakers I should buy should fit into the enclosure. Pero malaki naman allowance in terms of height. Maybe sa width ang mas limit, but front speaker sizes shouldn't vary so much.

finally got an upscaling DVD player:



next up, an HDMI switch..and a PS3!
