thicker is better to absorb low frequencies but looks ugly on the wall

But in actual, the thicker they are the more problem they will produce.
Aesthetic is the 1st one then the dead sounding.

For HT might be different but for Stereo, the bass traps are more preferred than foams.
This, I suspect mainly it is because of the inefficiency of the foams to absorb extreme low frequencies.
Bass trap will just err.. trap those low frequencies..
Once the low freq goes into the trap, they will never get out.

It seems that almost every week also can see someone pouring in investments into their systems.

Forget about the economy downturn.. bring on system upgrades... rclxms.gif

High end would be like Martin Logan, MBL, Wilson Benesch, Wilson Audio, Klipsch THX Ultra 2, etc which could easily buy you a car or a house for a 5.1 system

One more one more.. I would like to add.

This pair of speakers can buy a Toyota Avanza. If go for 7.1 setup, can buy a beemer  sweat.gif

They are indeed one of the best.

Hopefully, Perfect Hi Fi will repeat another showcase of them this year.

Hi,

I am keen on turning my spare room into an entertainment room....size of room about 24X18 feet. Are there companies or ppl that can plan and design the room? including all the AV hardware.

Thanks

Yes. If your room needs more treatment, then it will be more expensive. brows.gif

I think it is mpyw. But, he told me that a few of it didn't last long  sweat.gif  Kimber banana plug ok?

jchong, since you are going to repair your special OTO SE, you can ask abt their AN banana plug. I think it is a dizzying RM50/plug.

I am also thinking about the Kimber's banana plugs.
If there are spades, I will also consider.

AN banana plug is very expensive here.
Over in Lion City, AN is selling at SGD15 each.

To all sifus,

this might not be the right thread to ask but i do not want to start the new one. Regarding the Acoustic panel, is it only available for DIY ? Do you all think it's better to have professional install it for the whole room ? will it be too expensive and not worth it ? 

I'm moving to a new home and wife has gracefully grant me 1 one room for HT.. and i'm wondering the what should i do first during the renovation period...

Thanks.

Having a professional to install it is of course better, after all they are the professionals.
This in return will require lots of money as those branded acoustic panels dont come cheap like Echobuster and Auralex.
That's the reason why many people want to get OEM panels and DIY.
Well, if you have a strong budget, you can go for professional installation.

PureAV is sort of like a combo of UPS, AVR and Power Conditioner.

Yup.. sadly, it is not cheap in Bolehland.
The Star's Sujesh is using one, if I am not mistaken.

Edit... I remember wrongly. He is using PurePower 1050. Not the Belkin. blush.gif
