White screen: need a suggestion here. ^^

That is all i need right ? Anything else i need to put to make it a real HT room ?

ok,here come the question.
1.Is there any better projector than AX-200 in that kind of price range ? (5-7k)
2.Most of the time,what i heard from people,Bose is a waste of money.But i do thinking of it because im confident with their brand since
im using their headset,speechless.Im here to ask some suggestion if u guys can give me some other brand that i should consider since
im such a noobiee. ^^
3.What and where i should buy the white screen ?

Really appreciate all your advice. smile.gif

WOOOOO!!!!!!! HOLD ON THERE BRO,18K FOR BOSE HOME THEATER IN A BOX?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I THINK YOU BETTER BROWSE AROUND THE FORUM,THERES A LOT OF DISCUSSION REGARDING SPEAKER,AV RECEIVERS AND SO ON.MY ADVISE IS TRY TO AVOID HOME THEATER IN A BOX IF YOUR PLANNING TO HAVE A DEDICATED HT ROOM WITH PROJECTOR AND ALL.UNLESS ITS A SMALL  BEDROOM.SPEAKER BRANDS SUCH AS KLIPSCH,PSB,DEFINITIVE TECH,KEF, SOOO MUCH MORE TO MENTION!.AND AV RECEIVERS SUCH AS YAMAHA,ONKYO,DENON,MARANTZ...AND FOR THE PROJECTOR IS THINK ITS BEST IF YOU GO FULL HD,JUST ADD ANOTHER 4 TO 5K AND YOU WILL GET FULL HD,DAMN WORTH IT,BRANDS SUCH AS OPTOMA,INFOCUS,PANASONIC ALSO HAS ITS RANGE OF FULL HD PROJECTORS.CUT DOWN THE BUDGET FOR SPEAKERS AND TOP UP FOR PROJECTOR,SO MAINTAIN SPEAKER SYSTEM BUDGET FROM 18K TO 14K.WITH 14 K STILL SO MUCH YOU CAN SPEND ON!!


Added on May 14, 2009, 1:51 pmAND FOR DVD PLAYER,GET A BLU RAY PLAYER OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Added on May 14, 2009, 1:53 pmAND TO ALL THE OTAIS,PLEASE HELP THIS GUY OUT,OR HE WILL BE MAKING THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF HIS HOMNE THEATER LIFE!!!!!!  HEHE

Yes, AVR stands for AV receiver. It does 2 thing mainly, decode the sound and also amplify the signal and sent it to the speaker. In another words, it's an amplifier + decoder

thanks mate.
just check out htkaki thread for Klipsch RF62.
that set come with subwoofer rite ?
how is the performance ?
anyone have the experiance ?
speaker set+avr+projector= complete ?

yeap, i am going to suggest this also

receiver can change to onkyo 806 or even 875, while speakers set get klipsch RF-52 or RF62 is great

the money you save can get a good Blu ray player and the rest buy blu ray disc biggrin.gif
and again, spending 5.5k on a HDready projector is not worth it since optomo HD65 is good enuf, and most important its cheap (around rm3k, can get lower if you buy all your stuff from 1 person)

if got the budget, get a Full HD projector (around rm10k) such as HD803, infocus x10

QUOTE(mpyw @ May 14 2009, 02:48 PM)
if you hv 5.5k for pj....u either go for the cheapest one or top up get a better one....
get the Panny AE3000 or Optomo HD82 or even the JVC RS10 (all around RM12-14k range)
*
now i get.it means nothing if u buy middle range pj cause the diff not big rite ?
how much the onkyo 806 or 875 will be ?

BMB is a premium karaoke product, which comes with a premium price tag. At that price, you can get better set albiet not as well known as BMB

Seriously, I would give Bose a miss. Bose is a lifestyle product mainly for those with space constraint. Frankly speaking, it AQ doesn't impress me.

b&b speaker is not for a movie rite ?
ouh.thanks for sharing your experiance.. smile.gif
btw,can i connect the karaoke computer to the onkyo AVR ?
where i can plug in the mic ?

Hi guys.

Im in sg rite now.
Just now went to Sim Lim mall.
I got 1 offer for a HT setup.
Heres the Component.

Currency rate 2.45

Wharfedale 9 HT set,5.1 for SD 2300=MYR 5635.
Sub using Sw 150.

For amp,he recommend me Denon AVR 2809 for SD 1500=MYR3675.

I ask him about onkyo AVR,but he said onkyo is hot when running.
About the speaker,is it cheap compared to Malaysia shop ?
Some more,he said the sound quality for Wharfedale is smooth compared to klipsch.

Any advise for me ?
Thanks guys,really need yours advice. smile.gif

I think you should pm htkaki, he's now selling the wharfy as well. as for the amp i think some forumers here are getting the marantz 6003 from him as well.

for 5.6K i think you can get better 5.1 than the wharfy .. could get a velo 10" with that budget i guess.
