personal preference i guess...

Ps3 is there la

should see God of War 3 in 92" ~~

wait for GT5 tomorrow

mikapoh ya the movies are in .mkv and mostly for my dad
in fact i spend less and less time on my Ps3...

i bought him a dvico for xmas last year and constantly supply him with the latest movies...

i have movie nights with some friends also... tomorrow we watching scott pilgrim vs the world

how one can label someone with a 55" telly as a peasant is beyond me!

Nice toys logit85... u have a "larger" setup than my dad! *lol*

hey chokia what speakers and receiver are those?

I see wires!!!! ~

hahahahaha

hahaha! i am just wallowing in own personal obsessions...

there is no need to conform to anyone's preferences

this should solve some side wall reflection point issues...

will treat ceiling and maybe some bass traps later on....

treating a whole room with absorption/diffusers will make a room sound too dead or live...with the exception of bass traps...too much of something is often considered detrimental to performance...

even an entire carpeted floor can be blamed for some environments to sound "murky"...ever wondered why recording studios often use parquet flooring... or how auditoriums have shiny slick surfaces? some engineer must've figured something out...

the placement of my diffusers are to address the first reflection points from my front left, front right and centre speakers from the walls...

i have yet to address the ceiling reflection points or bass trap issues... still trying to think of something pretty with function

it is my own dedicated home theater area.. my man cave in which i can do whatever

not big actually... the "listening area" is only 14 x 10.5 feet...

it is flanked by a walkway in the front portion that leads into the bedroom and outdoors...

honestly... i think the audible differences are still negligible... perhaps the ceiling needs to be treated also...

but the "clap" trick (where one would just clap the hands and listen for any echos) is improved

of course the clap trick doesn't cover an entire freq range...

just removed the cloth-like fabric off my mezzos... got difference meh?

yup thats what i thought also... i read in other forums that a grille/cloth is effective in making a speaker sound warmer... since mezzo tweeters are exposed already then the highest freqs are not effected...

ill get a proper CD player soon enough
gotta get back all my CDs from overseas first tho...

HiFi... must... not..... play.... refuse.... resist.... damn those proacs....

dannyop,
your laptop ok without rattle on top of your Sub meh?

means u not listening loud enough?

nyquil,

Thanks bewdiful!!!
