it's not too near. don't worry.

Anyone here with 7.1 speaker setup and playing 5.1 movies with upmixing using Dolby Prologic IIx? How do you like it?

nice video on room treatments

sorry bro...i can't find any value for money items. i have a tough time searching for high quality and reasonably priced items.
reading through internet forums and all US guys suggest OC703 or OC705. read the UK stuff and you'll see rockwool.
all DIY or buy from GIK acoustic.
too bad tune-tubes are super duper expensive locally. this is a niche market, so seller can put whatever price he want...perhaps sell to datuk or vip.

i do found some cheap stuff from taobao. value buy.

any feedback on these foams? i wonder will it degrade over time?

if only somebody willing make GIK bulk order (use sea ship to reduce freight charges), it would be perfect. anyone?

anyone making absorbers and bass traps for a living?

In my opinion, if you're going to place 2 speakers together, then, it'll be the same as a single speaker, minus unwanted interference due to too closely placed speakers. So, 6.1 is good enough for your case.

The AVR will upmix 5.1 and downmix 7.1 contents to fit 6.1 setup.

@pltan

pity the mains get hidden in the corner.

the left and right surrounds should be placed a little further back, 110 degree for 5.1 setup.

For those who wanna toe in the speaker with an iDevice:

Malaysians are paying A LOT for all HT items, not just Onkyo.
HT items are overpriced locally besides cars. For cars, we can blame government for protecting Proton and Perdua...but what's the reason for HT? There's no local HT competitor.

gov view on HT: for datuk, yb, vip. denon, onkyo, lexicon...whatever HT brands, entry or high end are all rich men toys. for general consumer, if wanna setup HT, go to jln pasar to buy stuff.

it's like: toyota, honda, aston martin...whatever brand, entry or high end...all rich men toys. for general consumer, go to Jukebox shoe store and buy a slipper and walk yourself.

why ask this?

thanks for the clarification

Hi taukeh...u got your Dune Base 3D already? If yes, how was it?

I saw it in Viewnet Lowyat plaza @ RM1099.

What's the projector screen you've got there?

Do you remember what was the price for the black diamond screen?

With 8 feet, you need about 80" to 90" screen to give you field of view of 40-45 degrees...perfect for movies.

To me, 40-45 is just perfect. Less than that...lose the cinematic effect.
