hi guys!!
im one of the new guys on the block. just recently purchased a ganzklar LCD 26 HD3 Tv.. was it worth it ba?? have no idea whats the pros and cons pagdating sa LCD eh. though its kinda cheaper but comparing to other brands of LCD, i think they almost have the same Specs??? thanks guys, ill appreciate whatever your comment (s) are.

Kinda too late to do anything if we said your LCD TV is the worst TV on the market, right?

So best to just enjoy your purchase.

What people might post here might not be stuff you would want to know.

What you looking for? ... LCD TV? Projector?

i already have LED TV but can't decide how i should mount it and where to place the speakers.

i was thinking of something like this


but having kids at home, i'm not sure if it's a good idea to place the speakers around the house.

The TV should be placed at a level you are comfortable, generally horizontally eye level when you are seated properly. Mounting your screen on the wall would solve one problem (including your mentioned kids problem) but you will still need a shelf for the players, amplifier, etc. and should look clean so wires must be hidden somehow.

I have seen some setups with a false wall to mount the TV, players, etc and to hide all the ugly wires and cables as well.

but having kids at home, i'm not sure if it's a good idea to place the speakers around the house.

Generally with (small) kids, it's best to either have the speakers mounted on the walls or ceiling.

i wanted closed shelves for the dvd player and other stuff, but couldn't find closed shelves for tv halos lahat open maybe i should just have it custom made which will probably cheaper.

any body here who has tried this box that enables you to do "wireless" w/ your rear speakers? i saw this one at Bose. how is it... ok ba? ok ito kasi this eliminates the wires from the main ampli. that goes to your rear speakers.

pero ang di maganda....yung L&R na rear speakers connected pa rin sa "box" na yun, so not 100% wireless.......

now that you've already bought it, you can tell yourself if it's worth it or not. . .dapat nagtanong-tanong ka muna, bro

better get those models with smaller but able rear speakers that you can mount on the ceiling--ansagwa yata ng me wires on the floor, kahit na ipailalim mo sa carpet. . .mas ok ang rear speakers kapag mas malayo sa yo

tapos dapat ang sub-woofer nasa gitna

Each wireless speaker system have different sound quality. I suggest an audio audition to test sound quality before investing.

yup, with a false wall idea, you can have everything in the wall including the players, etc. And then a one-way lightly tinted glass swing (or slide) door to make it look clean.

tamang-tama bro kasi nagpa-testing ako kanina ng home theater by bose dito sa malaysia.
i think you're referring to the bose lifestyle v35 or 48... yes, the surround speakers are wireless... but too pricey at M$16330 & 18460 respectively.

ano bang recommended brand na medyo dikit sa bose ang performance pero at half-price lang sya.

[testament11]

Why not Pioneer? Sa akin, tamang tama lang yun. I have a full Pioneer setup dito sa loob ng kwarto ko

[Starex_Gold]

+1 sa Pioneer. Matibay pa

[MXFX]

here's my current and unfinished setup. lcd tv now wall mounted. klipsch main, center speakers and sub, dayton surrounds. weird and small space in our living room. might try wireless surround option if i can or wire up surrounds on the wall as they should be.

[rmpmla]

share ko lang po.

my bedroom HT. This was set up since 2007 although the TV was replaced with a 42" plasma last year.

hi hello po!
ask ko lang po kung meron ng nakagamit sa inyo ng konzert or sakura amps?
budgeted sa ngayon eh.
baka may matawa pero para lang sana mapagana ko yung mga speakers nato:
fronts - polk audio
rear - mordaunt

either for the meantime or for good, depende kung maganda outcome.
advice naman mga kapatid or bili na lang ako ng second hand na branded amps like yamaha, victor, etc....
yung extra money kasi buy ko ng cheap sub.
thanks and more power!

[Phoenix67]

Most ng nakikita kong pang outdoor ay konzert. Ok na naman if you're not into high fidelity or sound quality. If you want an SQ sa ganung amplifiers dapat merun kang old-school equalizers para macontrol mo better ang sound quality.

Yung speakers mo, alamin mo ang ratings...get an ampli na match duon so that mas tama ang output

[holdencaulfield]

ang alam ko kasi sa konzert pang PA at mobile. notice ko rin sa mga speakers niya at ampmbanban yung mga tunog.
may counterpart kasi siya yung sakura.
may nabasa akong feedback dito na suabe naman yung deliver ng sakura amp at ang gamit pa na speakers nung nag comment eh "tannoy".
since di nalalayo price nilang dalawa baka parehas lang sila ng quality?
may mga oldschool amps ako noon, sa erpats ko pa yun pero superb talaga. de tubo pa siya pero wala nakong mahanap na tulad niya.
i'm trying to revive her before but sadly.... she's dead.
kung may extra money lang bili ako ng magandang amp.

[kinyo]

konzert? sakura? di ba plain amplifier lang sila?

afaik you need a receiver with dolby/dts decoding capability for a home theater setup ... unless your source is a pc that can output all six analog signals for 5.1 setup in which case you'll need a 6-channel amplifer
