Good guess.


Now, he wants me to help him calibrate using SPL meter

I am using Mezzo series for HT

Dynaudio for all HT speakers?? I bet you need to ditch your Emotive amp and get a Krell power amp instead for those power hungry speakers. No worry, there are quite a number of those amps in H4S forum.


I saw you have Marantz cdp, PS Audio & Dynaudio bookshelves for Hi-Fi. Enjoy the music and tell me how's the combination sound like.



Cheers.

I am afraid there are not many who own a manual SPL meter. I bought it from Htkaki.........

Sigh, Dyns really need some serious juices to come alive, if not they will sound harsh.......I am sure dlyz is a dyn fan boy

zrill,

WOW, this is a very nice looking HT room. I think you are the first one here to have this starlight ceiling design. So, do you change the lighting color according to different movies??

I am intrigued to find you can install a 92" size screen for a seating distance of 10 feet. Is it too close? No room treatment? Bass traps at least....

Anyway, care to share us your equipments?




Enjoy.

Added on September 3, 2011, 8:54 amSee who's talking now, our taiko also recommend beefy amp.


There is one used krell kav-2250 (packing 250Wpc) selling RM5.8k nia. However, it looks like China made Krell model. Am I rite Htkaki? US made will be in black color.

Htkaki, one question for you. Talking about Class A amp for HT (I know Hi-Fi is different). Do you think Class A-B is more efficient and decent for HT playback? Say if the movies are dialogue based or comedy (less actions) where no serious power is consumed, do you think class A amp is wasting its energy?



Correct me if i'm wrong

Thanks for the info.

WOW, guys you know what AVR is Shenton using?? Look carefully....it is Denon AVC A1!!! One of the few top AVR in this forum. Bingo, enjoy your movies bro! You are in a very elite club now.

Congratulation on the new killer system!

One more thing, your MS Bipole rears are really "no match" for your system especially what this AVC A1 is capable of. Your surrounds are only good for Denon 3311 or 4311 level.

Hahah.....good recommendation

Any surround speakers below RM5k is peanut to your AVC A1 lar

Put on sale, they are too peasant for him. Only Confidence series will float the boat


If not mistaken, DM series are their entry-level models.

It is a lovely set-up with dual subs.

But try to beware the 2 hot Onkyo babes squeezing together which can generate lots of heats problem.

Talking about Subwoofer and cables, my friend's friend just told him that by swapping to a higher grade powercords (costing few grands), this has instantly elevated his Velo sub performance by 30% !!!!!

Wow, like that all higher grade sub can 'tah pau' already. All you need is a top grade cables! The chap's sub locality in the room is unchanged. Hearing is believing. However, to each its own.




Thanks Htkaki for the Bi or Dipole info, now only I know its detailed function albeit heard them before

+1. Power cables are also system dependent. On my Naim electronics, the VDH Mainstream does not bring any 'real' benefits. On the contrary, Denon receiver does reap certain benefits from it BUT quite frankly is pretty minimal. I was doing the testing using Tsai Chin Bluray concert. I bet I would not have noticed the difference during movie playback. However, the same cannot be said for projector since I have not tested it.

+1 on matching concept. Certainly you do not want a monster svs or rythmik sub pairing with satellites speakers

Why my name get mentioned? Peasant like me still use BD60

I watch movies solely on my Dune player unless I have got tonnes of bluray disc.



Htkaki, I thought you care less for video quality why now opt for 3D pula??

1 word of advice if you really wanna to venture into 3D. Get Biggest screen you can afford since you've got a big demo room. 80' to 100' for your room, boh kick for the image to pop out!

Haha. 3D is definitely not for you and me. Not for Htkaki too cause we all feel

I still feel it is useful for wow factor only.

Among the equipment list, he obviously forgot to mention the beast SVS PC-12NSD Sub!

sonerin,

Try spin some Lady Gaga tracks with sub gain at 12 o'clock and dance to the tunes. Now this is what i call ENJOY.

Hmm.....I smell some insulting

+1 Exactly. Be reminded this is Home Entertainment column and not what Building Construction forum!

P/s have the courtesy to exchange ideas. One can still show off his knowledge but insulting is intolerable here!

Especially the rubber surround which can affect how a speaker sounds
