i have finally made the decision to stick to a 2.1 system na lang. since i really listen to music more that anything else, i think 2.1 is the way to go. what do you guys think? where should i spend my money for a 2.1 system?

Xa3021!

lucky, alam mo mas maganda talaga ang soundstage sa audio using 2-channel audio
nung nag audition ako nakasalpak na gears ay

Harman Kardon 2550
and Monitor Audio B2
tapos livingston taylor's version is isnt she lovely na chesky records
kapag nakapikit parang nasa harap mo lang siya kaya lang medyo pricey ang entry level na gears na ito.

best pa rin is to audition kasi subjective eh
what sounds good to me might not be your taste

[mazdamazda]

Harman Kardon 2550
and Monitor Audio B2

i can just imagine... para kang lumulutang... tapos diana krall...

IMHO, the Xa3021 would do quite fine for a home-theater-in-a-box. But I would suggest that you do an audition first, like what Kimpoy recommended, to see what "sound" suits your taste. I currently have a 5.1 setup (wharfdale). Even though the 7.1 is out, I have no plans to change my setup. I'm perfectly happy with it.

thanks for the advice kimps and nic, meron kasi akong store credit sa Villman amounting to over P4,000, so i have to buy the item from there. i have decided to go with the Altec Lansing 621. it garnered very good reviews sa internet. cost is P 6,600 for a 2.1 system with wired remote volume control. RMS is 143 watts. (45 per satellite and 53 for the sub) what do you guys think?

[nicolodeon]

So long as you would be happy with it brother, no matter what people say, they I'd say it would be a good buy. Enjoy.

[luckytruck]

thanks pare. excited na ako

ot: paano ikakabit sa ps2 ang mga speakers? nakakita ako ng jbl soundsticks, ang ganda... P13k nga lang...

[cyberdoc95]

Save na lang for a much better system that won't disappoint you..

[luckytruck]

i am very happy with my alec lansing 621. i love the dual inputs. since i listen to mostly CDs and maybe a movie a week, then i guess the 2.1 system suits my needs better.

guys, pang budget HT lang - okay na ba yung Altec Lansing na ATP3? I tested it at SM Appliance Center at Makati, sounds okay naman, though not comparable to a 5.1.

OT: I just bought a new TV and DVD player... ano pinakamaganda and low-cost na pag wire ko nito. Dati kasi bastat may yellow/red/white RCA plugs ayos na, pero ngayon dami na choices, may S-video, component and optical.

thanks.

maganda ang ATP3/5... kaso dapat medyo maliit lang ang space mo para hindi sabog ang tunog.... kulang ang mid & lows...

pinakamagandang wire is optical...

karl, kung ok na ang AltecLansing sa iyo, then good, medyo wag ka na lang makinig sa mga true 5.1 dyan kasi naguumpisa ang SARS (speaker and receiver sickness)

about the connection for video there are 3 ways to connect the DVD to the TV
1. Component (Best)-eto yung RGB (red green blue) primary color na makikita mo sa likod ng Tv

2. S-Video (Better) 7-pin
3. Composite (Good) eto yung color yellow na connector, pinaka common ito.

imho yung optical is for audio only.

here's a read on which connector to use

mazda and kimpoy, thank you for the info. naguguluhan lang kasi ako kung ano ang connection na gagawin ko. if i use the component jacks, do i really need to buy high-end rca wires? sabi kasi sa akin, pwede na daw yung common (y/r/w plugs) wires ang gamitin ko for the component. sa audio, its either i use an optical or the common red/white rca wires, tama ba?

I told my wife about the ATP3..... medyo kailangan pa ng further convincing!
If i buy it without approval, itatago ko muna sa office, he he!

[kimpOy]

for audio yung optical and coaxial are digital connections
yung common red/white analog yun.

for video pede na yung y/r/w make sure tama lang ang connection.
