coz i spend most of my time in my bedroom if i'm at home. I will fully utilise it if i put it there. Besides i have other HT (my old setup) in the house and 3 more old TVs with astro for other family members and guests. Leave the best only for me, no need to show it to the quest. Guest layan astro saja, enuf!

1 feet should be enough if u r not using very powerfull sub..

You have to test hear and feel it yourself ... its a matter or your own taste.
Try with different distances and decide which / how u like your bass to be

Tru also.. for subwoofer, dun have actual teory or formula to set up.. all depend on ur teste..
some bass nut will love alot of bass, as long as got bass is enough alr..

that is why many enthusiasts will prefer to have their own dedicated HT room if watch astro, really no need for surround sound lah. hahaha

my HT stuff is at the family lounge.. so if a lot of guests come over, really kacau lah. need quiet environment to enjoy movies and music to the fullest!

Ohh.Canare.Yep,u r correct.TQ informing.

My simple HT setup that I built 2 years ago, and needing to be upgraded to 1080p:

1. Yamaha RX-V1600 receiver powering 7.1 Energy speakers.
2. Sony VPL-HS60 projector (want to upgrade to HD 1080p projector when cashflow improves) - screen size is about 100"
3. Pioneer- DV-300 DVD player (to be upgraded to Blu-Ray player in the future, unless I build a HTPC with BD capability)
4. Astro decoder (mostly use it for news, sports and documentaries)
5. HTPC (under construction) - to be used as a DVR, playback of content streamed from my NAS boxes, maybe light gaming?

I'm actually still building and installing software on my HTPC so the area is still messy right now with cables, manuals and stuff.
I only took pictures of the left side of my 7.1 speaker setup, but the right side is basically the same anyway. The Linksys device sitting on top of my subwoofer is actually my Skype/POTS dual-line cordless phone base station. I took the photos when I stopped work on my HTPC to watch the Australian GP

Yay.... we got another pj kaki in da house. Btw, ur ctr speaker is too high up as well all other speakers. I hope that you did tilt downward a bit and done proper calibration.

Ya centre speaker is tilted downwards and most of the speakers are tilted downwards too. I had the speakers installed professionally and they calibrated it for me Besides my ears aren't that sensitive. I had to compromise on speaker location due to furnishing design requirements and budgetary limits, but it's good enough for me to enjoy

oooow nice projector,,, watst he bulb life like these days for these babies?
