Hello, just to share with you guys, my very 1st humble set up that I can afford currently . In fact nothing much I could do with this rented property as well, hopefully surrounding flat neighbour and landlord wont knock my door and complain and that will be great enough



(will have some tiny upgrade on thursday as another pair of floor standing is on its way)

Cheers

Oh Thank you! You would nt believe they are 8 yrs old - 10 yrs old B&W 602 S3 & 601 S3! I was stunned when I found out those models are so old because they are so new when I bought it! Centre is Mordaunt short 905. I have to keep them to the left as I need to keep some space for some path, access to dining table ( behind the camera view) .

Yes will defintely get a proper one ! Shall let my pocket breath 1st

Cheers bro

No worries bro! nothing to feel sorry on tight budget ! You are absolutely fine to ask a question here.

From my point of view, you should be able to get an amp at around that price, maybe a little bit more on top, but bear in mind, that is just to buy an amp, you will need some budget to buy speakers, cables etc.. It depends on how you want your set up really.

If you can specify some details in terms of what sort of system would you like to have (stereo, 5.1 / 7.1 etc) , maybe some sifu would be able to give you some suggestions .

Cheers pal.

They are indeed very poisonous snakes!

Then it must be me

Ron is being humble

The thing is will he feel satisfy ?

Oh nothing could be better than that toy !

Saw my set up from the link back in April and that reminds me that I shall share some of my budget upgrades to the current system:

April:


Current:







Cheers

Yeah and that makes the TV bigger !

I'm not sure but I will definitely give it a go when I am free, have been busy with study and stuff not much time to play around with it Thanks for the suggestion !

She asked for the arm chairs (previously was a 2 seater sofa which was not comfy she complained), and if you could notice, the 2 arm chairs are not at the same height, the lower ones belong to the misses just to fit her height and she says

Ger her some ear plugs and you can carry on with the volume you like ~ peace

my misses wants me to sort out a dedicated HT room as soon as we can afford our own house which is still long way to go

how jealous I am especially seeing some sifu's dedicated room with nice set up !

Guys, just curious how would that be if connecting 2 centre speakers to the centre channel?

Im not sure but my AVR is the pionner LX82 i ve not got 2 centre speakers yet, just got one 8 ohm at the moment.

Thanks. I am using the HTM7 which has 1 driver only , sound quality is great in small room. I was just wondering if gear up the centre channel by adding 2nd centre speaker will be anything like those giant centre speaker which has 3 - 4 drivers in it.

I will probably leave it as it is for this moment, more assignments and exams are coming up after Christmas break

Also let the pocket to have some breathing space

Added on December 9, 2011, 10:08 amOne more question, can LX 82 drive Dali speakers (4 ohm) safely without risking the amp or speakers?

I did some reading on the internet but still not got a clue on them Some suggested receivers with THX select or Ultra certified can drive 4 ohm speakers but some seems to object the idea.. Would like some advice if anyone of you dont mind sharing your thought

Guys, would using B&W 705 as surround be a waste? I saw many use them for stereo set up with quite good amp but I saw 1 pair on sale at reasonably cheap price hand start to itchy already

I dont know how much better it would do compare the my current old B&W 602 S3 as surround, but it would be lovely looking to have the whole family sat in the living room

WIll buy it for for a go then

I have heard about land beyond 4 ft below ground level is no longer belong to house owner, is that true? if yes you might want to dig half basement only also there might be piping works below the ground, it's probably worth to get the plan drawings just to confirm you wont be digging towards any main pipes
