My noobie setup.. beginner setup but i think its cool enough oredi.. good enough for the time being..



what u guys tink?

lucky my HM have Personal Assistant.. make dust disappear every day.. HM gave me 30 days to seal area & make it aircond designated area to reduce dust & noise level outside AV area..

thx bro..

projector screen of old.. after the PJ bulb burnt out, didnt replace until today.. figured the screen as window blind works well..

2 speakers? i wish.. think my AVR not able to do that la.. to get another amp for audio, ermmm.. am more HTguy than audiophile.. so no laaa.. actually, m letting go of my klipsch floorstander.. once in a while, like to warm them up.. so keep it there..

last time lcd expensive, now cheaper.. PJ startup time & shutdown time & dark lighting requiremt - ALL of it against my user behaviour.. & of coz, d replacement bulb at d time was gonna cost me nearly rm2k.. kinda made d decision to get d lcd easier..

upgraded my system since the last picture.. just took these pictures last nite..

front view


rear view



what do you guys think? any advice?

m thinking of xpa5 power amps next but some suggested rotel.. see how first aa..

thanks guys..

mypw, dun think wifey would allow me to invade my living room.. what to do.. have to make do laa..

monoblocks then definitely have to rewire my whole house oredi.. 2ch amp ok oredi.. either xpa5 or maybe 2 rotels to add to d harman kardon power amp should do the job.. now i wonder what rotel model shd i consider & how much would d rotels set me back.. hmmmmmmmmmm..

my setup 7.1 consists of;
a. 1 x centre,
b. 2 x front,
c. 2 x front wides,
d. 2 x surround
e. 1 x subwoofer

decided to forego the surround back for the new Dolby PLIIz feature in the denon 4310 which enables front wides..

a.b.c.&e. is what you see in the front view

d. is what you see in the rear view

the 4310 manual says that my surround LR shd be 90-110degrees. decided to go 90degrees so it wont block the stairs. & like sifu htkaki says, that wifey not cool with that..

i was using d klipsch Synergy (F1,C1,S1 w Sub12) 5.1 setup before.. excellent entry level speakers.. very easy to drive & superb for HT (price considered).. then kena poisoned by mypw's setup.. slowly changed my speakers to the m22 bookshelves, then d vp150 centre, then m80s fronts and lastly d qs8 surround with its custom stands.. the most recent addition would be htkaki's pc13u subwoofer.. all within 6 months.. now can enjoy both HT & audiophile stuff..

come aa for an audition.. always welcome some golden ear to give me his opinion..

what did you get tho?

agreed, mypw very poisonous..

went with front wides as its the easier between d two to setup.. need a raised platform to put up my axiom bookshelves that high..
