i do understand some of our shortfall but at the basic placement is there.

for example both surround speakers, try to place them such that their sound can’t be specifically pointed to or “localized” by the listeners. The goal of surround speakers is to immerse the listening room in three-dimensional, enveloping surround effect.

With traditional box subwoofers, it’s best to experiment with placement, since no two rooms are exactly alike. Keep these things in mind: room boundaries—such as floors, walls, and ceilings—act like “acoustic mirrors,” and will reinforce the subwoofer’s output. Therefore, a subwoofer placed 3 feet out from all the sidewalls behind a chair, for example, will sound thinner and weaker than the same sub in the same room place directly at the floor-wall intersection.

no offense, just my 2cent

cheers!!!

I kinda like the way u put your setup up into paper. He! He! He! Very detailed.
Nice setup. Is this your apartment living hall? Just wondering, are those acoustic panels at the back of the wall?
Well, me for one, is someone who don't know where to put speakers. Sub- no need to talk. Lagi tak tau.

May be give us a lesson la.

pls anyone dont misused the word "entry level" or "budget".............I think u guys have raised the entry level bars rock high nowadays. Even WhatHifi entry levels are very clear cut with only integrated amp, no pre & power amp & not to mention valve amp !!!! @_@
*
lets set a guideline here sweat.gif .... proposal smile.gif

< RM10,000 = entry
RM10,001 ~ RM30,000 = semi-intermediate
RM30,001 ~ RM 60,000 = intermediate
RM60,001 ~ RM100,000 = semi-pro
> RM100,000 = pro
> RM200,000 = senior pro
> RM300,000 = u name it!!! laugh.gif

gac,

better this way :

< RM10,000 = entry level
RM10,001 ~ RM20,000 = lower midrange
RM20,001 ~ RM30,000 = midrange
RM30,001 ~ RM50,000 = upper midrange
RM50,001 ~ RM100,000 = Hi-end
> RM100,000 = ELITE

Agree on this smile.gif Budget word too misused and cause confusion. A ex-school mate told me he was beginner until i found out that this beginner got RM40k setup.... Made me feel like a fool cause i was talking to him and thinking he was same beginner as me. mad.gif

How to classify a person who has multiple RM200k systems (just the audio part only and not yet include visual)? Key word is multiple kekeke.

I think that even though a new thread is started ppl just cant resist to chat in it. Tho such a thread would be great.

Pending some minor acoustic treatment, an additional speaker probably, lighting adjustment and might add a ceiling fan too (can't always switch on air-cond), slightly bigger Full HD LCD/Plasma, Blu-Ray / PS3 ... etc.
Any comments ?
