Bro psp, a couple of weeks ago I was wondering what happened to you. I rememeber u tokking about DIY screen looong time ago... sometime last year.

Come in today and see this thread and wowsa what a setup. Looks great. So I showed it to my AV room and it told me that it wants to be just like your AV room when it grows up . The JVC looks yummy too, think u need to calibrate it a bit, from some of your pics, there seems to be more blue/green and not enuf reds



@ HTKaki.... I am touched that you consider me a fellow "elite". By Elite u mean a group posessing superior intellectual, social and economic status? I am trying to getaway from all these tags that we confine ourselves into, the less we use of it the better....

Let me know the plans for the upcoming visit. I would definitely like to see psp's AV setup.... plus the rest of the house and the garage as well.

Confirm... my next upgrade will be a LCoS projector and BluRay source!!!

psp_BOY's setup was very nice, what's more he is a gracious host.

The video system was an eye opener, nice, colours and the pictures was soooo crisp and clear. Poppyness is really good!! And the blacks....oh so good and without any fancy iris. But how much is attributed to the Anthem and how much to the projector cannot be ascertained. The video setup is definitely worth every penny spent on it.

The curved screen seemed like a good idea but should only be tensioned on the top and bottom. If tensioned on all 4 sides, the screen then curves inward again thus negating the initial purpose of the curve. When viewed directly the picture seems fine, but from the side viewing angle this funny curvature adds some distortion to the picture. Not noticeable unless you are nit picking.

My feeling about the sound system is mixed, dialogue is clear and having the speakers directly behind the screen keeps the soundstage stable and pin pointed. Bass is a tad boomy and slow. Overall the sound should have been a bit clearer too match the video quality.

Again thanks to psp_Boy and htkaki for organising this. I would love to attend again and maybe this time, watch an entire movie

Jason

No need to wait for melah. I will do it at my own pace. If I got craving for BR, then I just make appointment with psp_BOY to watch movie at his house.

I am still in awe with the picture... utterly and completely satisfying video setup. The best I have seen by far.

Jason

Nope, not even AV show can beat... actually I have missed all the KLAV shows for the past 3 years. I went to the Bangkok AV shows instead. Did not have a large selection of projectors on demo and those that were on demo most were "run of the mill" LCD and DLP projectors, no LCoS were shown. My other run in with a LCoS was with the Sony in KLCC, but somehow that failed to impress me. I made a note of this projector in the Home Theatre Projector Discussion thread...

Jason

Wah until need to take out the marantz... just got to beat the jones is it...

I had a run in with the VP 11S1 last year... but did not spend enough time with to really form any opinion. So I have left it in the back of my mind. But if memory serves me right, the marantz gave an equally clear and crisp picture... maybe even more so than the JVC. But I must say that the JVC's colours are much more pleasing, deep and rich colours, which frankly are more satisfying. However the marantz did not display any rainbow effect.... but the price.... wow.

I have to warn you that I don't have a run of the mill taste in bass, I am not a more is better kinda audio guy. So far I have only come to like sealed subs that plays low and keeps in time with the rest of the music/audio....

Jason

I only use one for both applications, for HT purposes, if the sound of the explosion comes after the visuals.... potong stimlah.

Jason

ps- wah why so many bulu ray disc on display.... why need to poison psp_BOY, he is already a subscriber to BR.... confused

velodyne, sunfire, hsu, svs and genelec are just more of the same slow bloated bass that give uphold SPL and "slow" woolly bass rather than good quality bass. Danley sounds promising but I have not heard them in action before, but looking at their design using horn priciples, they would be my choice out of all listed.

Though it must be noted some of velodyne's sealed servo subs and sunfire's sealed subs sound quite immediate, but lacking in musicality.

Jason

ps Its not my intention to step on anyones toes here with regards to sub choices, as in everything audio, bass is a personal preference.
