ATC active speakers for surround (at least 5 nos)
ATC BIG passive bookshelf speakers (2 used as center - powered by 2 individual Krell power amp) & (another 2 used as front surround)
Custom-made side speaker enclosure with around 10nos of ATC drivers x 4 nos
Mirage floorstand - put aside no use - probably spare
Speaker cables only = easily exceeded RM200k - RM300k (MIT shogun with few boxes - so many pairs laying around)
HDMI - Kimber Kable, Wireworld, Van Den Hul ... all hi-end or reference series
Power cords = as thick as can drinks = few
CD players = Krell
Media Servers = dun know what brand but cost more than RM 15k

Nope, not rich enuf yet ...

Yup, since i'm short of space and speaker stands, so gotta temporary put the Usher S-520 (AV) on top of my Dynaudio Aud.52 (Stereo-HiFi)

Actually, those egg crates meant to diffuse sound waves to avoid it from bouncing to so many surfaces, less boomy and also minus lil bit of sound volume to exterior.
One thing very obvious is, sound more focus,
I used egg-crates and wave-foam combination ... it doesn't wirk wonders, but its the cheapest way.
Decent hifi-stereo sound needs room for sound to travel and balance reflections to create good sound staging, merely covering walls and flrs not a wise options (my personal experience)

My initial intention is to reduce sound from protruding out, afraid disturb neighbours. Then when i listen to my hifi, i notice the music has became more and more focus and improved sound staging and imaging, thus my sound treatment has became useful for both use.
I know this is a NON-professional way of doing, however i felt that's all i can do and all that i afford too

Thanks, just upgraded the TV TODAY
Now i have dvd player, wd hd tv and htpc ... only waiting for xbox360 and/or ps3 or bluray player
Next question is " where's the money? "

You mean the " hole "
Distance is needed for it to 'breathe' and its also needed to 'bounce' / reflect

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

Lately i noticed almost MOST topics all off rail liao !

yeah, in tat case i'll spam once every skipping post ...

Very Good Saintos
Bravo
Long time no see pix liao ... !

looks like only b, c or d only works

Such great systems and equipments but poor arrangement and rack ...

It works ...
No problem, i'm sticking a whole pc approx 3ft x 6ft to my AV room door ... with DUNLOP glue !

WOW, playing 'spot the difference' ?

Any new pix updates from anybody ?
