HTkaki,

If you do enuf homework on Bass Management, I think the bass will be overkilled in this room coz every drivers are Mega-Sized. Even the center drivers are extra large. The SVS sub alone is already a scary monster.........

That's the point. I knew. Coz' many did ask about hooking up a 7.2, which I think will simply overpower my room.

All speakers are being set to small. The front is being cut off at 60Hz, center at 80Hz and the surr at 100Hz. I am not using the PC12-Plus as the PB13-Ultra simply jaw-dropping.

I have yet to do full calibration using Audyysey. Once done, I shall check again the FR with the SPL meter.

That's the way to set all channels to small coz you have a damn good sub to take care everything below 60 or 80hz. I was wondering how come you set your surround at 100HZ as you are using bookshelf speakers right?? Maybe 80Hz will suite them well?

My set up is no league player comparing to the rest.. But no harm sharing.

TV Model : Samsung CRT 21' given by my brother

Amplifier : NAD T763

Front Speaker : Epos ES11 (made ?1990)

Center Speaker : Fostex FE167E with standard cabinet ported (DIY)

Surround Speaker : Jamo Cornet (made ?1991)

Subwoofer : not yet... (will be another DIY project in due course)

Interconnect/Cable : No Name. Centre speaker cable: Cable Talk 3, front speakers cable can't remember the name. Surround Cable = nameless.
Interconnect = Some DIY cable as CoAxial. Other average RCA, name cannot recalled.

Future project:
1. Projector DIY
2. Projector Screen - most likely DIY too, or maybe ScreenGoo paint.
3. Subwoofer DIY. Source unclear as yet.

I would welcome any good advice about subwoofer speaker driver and amp recommendation. smile.gif

Here's the epos ES11. The front grill is gone which is good sonically. But my daughter has poked the speaker many times with her little finger, prompted me to DIY a grill, plastered at the side by black rubber tape. It works well !

Centre speaker - DIY Foxtex FE167E with its bookshelf cabinet. Painted black to fit the rest.

My rear surround with stands. A little bit of luxury I guess but thats what is fitting at the present house.

Another view of the rear speaker setup blasting the viewer.

Here's the humble brain of the HT system. NAD T763 bought in 2nd hand from one of the forumner here.

Finally here's my backup component, currently under cold storage until I move to a newer place in a few months time hopefully.
On top, a fully functional Marantz CD52 mkII;
The middle unit is a vintage Marantz 2252 receiver Amp circa 1978, bought by my father at my tender age of 11 ! After servicing, it still sings very well !!
The bottom unit is the first generation Kenwood Prologic Receiver, bought in year 1991 I think.
