I'm also interested with the cables. but don't know how do online order. Hi, timothyy if you want to purchase the cable. I will join you. I need two reels. And this cables also free 8 piece banana plug for each reel.

Err... the connectors that are provided with the 50ft Acoustic Research 12awg speaker cable are not the standard 4mm "banana" connectors. They are much smaller... more like 2mm and the are called "pin" connectors. These pin connectors are usually used to connect the speaker cables to the amp's speaker terminals. The reason they use the 2mm connector is because of the limited space at the rear of the amp... if you have seen how cramp the backside of an AV receiver, you'd understand what I mean.

Actually I vote for bare wire connection. If done properly bare wire connection can be very neat and will definitely provide a superior electrical connection compared to pins and bananas....

Jason

mysghooi... OK... Will keep you in mind... May be we can do a bulk here and make some moola.
But before that, we wait and see what Jason gets and whether he needs to pay for tax and duty. Actually, USD40 for the delivery is considered dirt cheap.

if you get checked by coustoms, the duty is 25% and sales tax 10% ie. 37.5%!!!!!! but normally for small qty can kaotim

Ok, timothyy just keep me inform. cause I also need the cable to set up my real speaker. Hi jasonlky do let us know the situation regarding the tax issue. Thanks

Roger that. I received the traking number a couple of days ago. Hoping to receive it by the end of next week.

Jason

Updates

Well, the screen material that I ordered through ebay is here. On my initial inspection it looks good, just like any of the megabucks screens that I have had to chance to view. But I'd need to really install it and view it with my projector to assess its performance. I will mount it on the frame and put it up over the weekend. If I can get the neutrik connectors in time, I'll post pictures of the projected picture.

On another note of interest, the speaker cables should be arriving anytime now, but I have some bad news for mysghooi and timothyy. MCMINONE originally quoted shipping as US$40 for all 3 reels, they subsequently charged me US$96 for shipping!! So I asked them to honour the original quote, which they subsequently did. To mysghooi & timothyy, please take note of this if you are ordering. The combined weight of the shipment is 17lbs, I did a quick check on USPS and the shipping came up to US$90.

Jason

Hi timothyy, are you stay in kota kemuning?

Hi jasonlky, to you mean 3 reels the total weight is 17lbs?

Alamak... really missed the chance. So, in this case, if you are kind enough, do spare me some. Just need it for my rear speakers.... which is around 1 reel. Kekekeke.... TOlong.

gooi, I am in Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam.

ah, don't know how to go bukit jelutong. Then I might try myself lah.
Hi jasonlky to you have any tax incurred ah?

I dunno about the tax yet. I have a feeling that it will get stuck at KLIA customs and I'll have to pay tax... how much I don't know yet. I just checked with USPS online tracking and its still on its way.

17lbs is the combined weight for 3 reels.

Jason

Uncle... can spare me 1 reel or not?

Let me wire up my AV Room firstlah. If I can spare a reel, sure I sell to you. I should finish everything before the new year.... Can wait?

Just to let u know I have the following speaker setup: 2 fronts, 2 center, 4 rear and of course 1 sub as I am using a 7.1 setup. Why 2 center... one on top of the screen and the other below so that the sound of the dialogue some from the center of the screen and not from the bottom.

BTW, when did I become ur uncle....

Jason

We Malaysian call any old people uncle. Kekekeke... (as if I am younger than u)...

Anyway...
I surely can wait. My house reno should only start after new year and plaster ceiling should only start later on.
So, yeah yeah... please please.

The BIG SCREEN is installed

Pictures still in my camera. I will post up as soon as I download into my computer. I haven't done up the cabling for the projector yet. So I still cannot access the performance. But on close inspection, the screen has a "silvery" finish to it, so the gain is definitly more than 1.

On abother note, if I don't receive my cables today, then I fear that the shipment "Ditahan" by our boys at KLIA Customs.....
