jchong,

May I ask you again what is the IDEAL screen size for 11.3' width wall with viewing distance at 12'?? I am in dilemma to choose between 80" & 90" screen. I would love to have 90" size which leaves enuf side space of 2', but I am worried too that 90" & view from 12' can be uncomfortable. What do you choose if you were me...





In dilemma....

Wow, you say minimum is 89" so it means 80" will be too small. I would give it a try, thanks.


Hopefully the fix screen of 90" with the side frame will leave me min of 2" for my front speakers & also the beast SVS pc-12plus which I plan to put left side in the middle of the room...

The "semi-full" previews of my dedicated mini home theater room.

Nothing fancy compared to Yonggoh's equipments, just budget system

Room acoustic installation by Sound Fusion S/B

Thanks bro .

Any particular color paintings you recommend? But the next thing I wanna do is to treat the plaster aluminum beams right above the SVS sub. There are some rattling sound. Might get somebody to inject fiber on the aluminum to mitigate the vibration sound.

Yeah after running the Audyssey set-up & SPL meter, the sound effect is more accurate. Ah Wei has installed a total of 12 brass traps in my room
With these bass trappers, diffusion & absorption panels, it really brings the best from your speakers.


Still cant compare to your Mezzo & Panny AE4000u....I am using Optoma HD20 only

What do you mean by taming the beast? Using the fiber??


The wall color is actually Nippon brown, the pictures do show on the reddish side... Front wall is black, Ceiling is gray in color.

11.5 x 13.5 x 8.5. small room that can house 3 ppl only. But mostly I am the only one to use it

Thanks.

If the acoustic panels are auralex, I would be a broke man by now!

There are total of more than 30 of them Luckily Junwei from local hifi shop is able to source the identical with same materials from another Co. in China. The intensity of the foams are similar to auralex, not the soft type.

We have compared Auralex & this non-branded panels side by side. The shape size, colors and the cuttings are identical and most importantly, the intensity or compression of the foam is the same (not the softer type like the dish-washer foam). For the pricing, I would say you can save half the price of Auralex per piece...


For actual price, you better pm Junwei, Sound Fusion. He orders in bulk & can get cheaper some more. I think he is willing to ship over from Kch to KL. These items are selling HOT in Kch here & currently running out of stock. More ppl here are discovering the importance of room treatment. After my room has been treated with these, the booming effect has almost diminished and eventually mid to high freq has become clearer. As my sofa is 1ft away from back wall, I use 3 absorption panels to reduce the reflection & creates a more space ambience at the back.


On another note, by proper installing (not too many) in your room you will know the true characteristic of your speakers, whether they performed up to task

Yonggoh,

Finally see the full view of ur HT room. Very nice wall color match up with the rest. Really envy the Pana pj 4000-U. Must look terrific on the screen. Sadly I can't afford that

Added on October 19, 2010, 1:46 pmLast couple of days have been busy with few elites, I mean serious AV kaki, who came to "visit" my HT room & testing... I am shy as mine is not even a fraction of their gadgets . They tested quite number of movies and concerts & find that "Up" animations PQ is pretty good for demo. Oh yea, the Velodyne DD18 owner looks impressed with the SVS, saying its timing is fast. Asking me if the driver is facing upwards

What brands so mysterious? Monitor Audio Gold Series?? I would love to hear one of favourites.

WAH LAU, a pair of box speakers costing more or less like a BMW car....salute

Care to show the picture, at least we can drool on it.

Bro, seems like you are a local lad. Care to share your HT pic? Where do you buy your gears, Sound Fusion?

Imagine playing PS3 via the Mezzos....& SVS PB-12plus Not only joystick vibrates but the sofa too due to the intense bass nearby.



yonggoh, since u play games, do you have time for movies? Thought that you have at least 2k mkvs

Holy shoot, even the front wide is using hi-end speakers. Wonder watching concerts in that room...

I think by the time I visit him in Mar, they are "fully" run-in, dont expect to run in these speakers within a month or two. And hopefully by that time, they are all still there in the demo room....

Thats why I never invite him to come. My wires are all over the front stage. Later failed me like no biz.

As many audiophiles have said speakers without grills tend to sound better than with them on. Maybe is more applicable to those warmer sounding speakers.

I used to have them wear-on when my system is in living hall as I have experienced my old speakers tweeters being poked by my kids. Now, all my spkrs are naked in my av room & look sexy too.

The difference might be small fraction or even negligible as far as Mezzo is concern. You know why? Remember the Mezzzo tweeter is basically sitting on top of the Spkr cabinet. Even, with the grills on the tweeter is still "naked" so you are hearing the same tweeter sound...On top of that, using receiver to play thru cannot detect minor flaw. Hifi using cd is more obvious. Just my 2 cents.

Yes. A dedicated cdp is a must if you wanna listen pure music. Think hifi bugs are hitting me . Even it spreads to some sifus like anfiledude, htkaki already......haha. Ah Tan has said along the road of AV there will come a time we go for hifi for the purest sound.

Beginning of new year, and already added Naim Audio kits into the family.

Below sharing my Entry-level and humble 2-in-1 set-up, HT cum Hifi.
