So here's my final setup.....

Projector : SONY HW55ES
Screen: Grandview 106" motorized tab-tension
Amplifier : Onkyo TX-NR737
Source: Oppo 105D
Front Speaker : Kef-Q300
Center Speaker : Kef Q200C
Surround Speaker : Kef Q100
Subwoofer : SVS SB2000
HDMI: Golden Sound HD-V1000
Speaker cables: basic ofc 16awg
Power cord: 2.5mm core power cords

Just had my projector calibrated today

based on the initial readings....Grandview + Sony 55es combo...the blue is higher than the rest of the colour
therefore during grayscale, the light gray shade had a purplish blue tint

it was under contrast and brightness was not set properly

I also had issues with the projector installed tilted down.....corrected that error and adjust projector to flat against horizontal line....used lense shift to adjust image height instead of V keystone which affected the full HD output....which also explained my 3D movies wasn't sharp.

Hi guys,

I remember in an older posts some members bought some sign or plaques with THX, Dolby etc to hang in their HT. Where can I find them? I am looking to buy a few.

Surround speakers.

Decided to spend RM470 on a pair of Mission MV-DS bookshelf speakers (as surround) to complement my old Mission Volare V63 stand and V6C centre speakers.

Would the former complement the other? Will eventually add an ONKYO TR-N696 7.1 Receiver but for now, I’d be happy to just have 5.1 properly.

Can someone recommend a reasonably priced stand for said speakers? Dealer was trying to sell me stands which cost almost twice the price of the speakers!

don't get cheated by speaker stands. it's just a stand, some dealer or audiophiles will go and tell you how great a stand is but it's all bullshit. a stand is just a stand. as long as you can position the speaker it works just fine.

Stands do matter - to a certain extent.

Hollow stands will actually cause artificial reverberation, that could then be amplified by nearby boundary. Weak stands may also not be able to handle the weight of a speaker.

Of course, don't be an idiot and buy for some plutonium-infused blast proof glass stand or something.

lol. typical reply from so-called audiophiles. speaker stands are mostly for bookshelf speakers and generally bookshelf speaker ain't that heavy
most important is the speaker selection, that's where the sound comes from. not the stand.
