Thanks !!!

So far, eto nasa list ko...
- HK AVR230
- Yam RX-V450
- Denon 1705

Hanap ako nga Onkyo sa within the same price range...

Whew! kakahilo pumili....lalo na kung walang datung...

Thanks for all the help!

[5Speed]

good luck....hehehehe

if you can still squeeze some money, I say go for the HK

otherwise you cant go wrong with either Denon/Onkyo or Marantz.....

Kung Yamaha ang gusto mo, try to get the RX V-1500 or its higher version, it is very good in music na....totally different Yammie na ito....yun nga lang baka mas mahal pa kesa sa Denon 1705 or even 2105 yan....bago lang kasi na modelo....they change their design already and use a much better audio chipset.....

I'm more into HT kaya yamaha ang napili ko, at well known din sya for reliability.

Macky, wala na bang e-eelaborate pa yan...interesado yata ako.

Apartment kasi namin may basement ngayon kaya naging interesado ako. Usually, yang gangyang kalinaw at kalaking screen, gagastos ka ng mahigit $10K May nakita akong site na DIY and may isa dun na gumagawa na ng case with the necessary kits for less than $500. Bili ka na lang ng LCD. Yung ginagamit pa nyang bulb is yung tipong ordinary 300+ watts na mala $20 lang (Hight pressure mercuy lamp or metal halide 400w. 3,5 A 230v 50hz from Rolux or osram hqi-t 400w n/si 3800º k). Alam mo naman ang mga projectors, bulbs ang magastos annually and maghanda ka na ng $300 para sa mga projector bulbs.

Eto yung specs nya:
Long trhow lens kit from Diylabs: 135 mm triplet lens, 2 fresnels 15,5" 330 mm focal lenght
tft 17" lg1730s
osram hqi-t 400w n/si 3800º k

Eto pa yung ibang shots:

[Macky]

Pipinturahan nya pa daw ng itim yan at dadagdagan ng fans para hindi naman mag-burn out agad yung bulbs.

In the topic of dvd reproduction and hddvd he have optimized the software player. I think he works with zoomplayer+ffdshow, with which you can apply filters that improve the final quality, very useful for dvd, less necessary in hddvd. His projectors don't have those filters so it is necessary to use those that it offers us the software from codecs or players.

[Macky]

Kung may laptop ka na sira (unusable na), kunin mo na lang yung LCD nun, hehehe. Yung mga shots from Shark Tale may reflector (screen) na yun kaya malinaw (compared dun sa Van Helsing shot). For the reflector, kung alam mo yung pang shade natin ng araw sa kotse..... yung silver na nafo-fold? Ito yung magandang gawing screen kung makakahanap ka ng malaki. Yung laki nga pala ng screen is depende sa layo ng projector. Yung sa kanya, 4.5 meters ang layo ng projector sa screen.

Eto yung kit na kasama:


Madali lang namang ikabit since merong kasamang insturction.

Hi, me again...

So far, eto na tinitignan ko...what do you think???
- Marantz sr4500 (P17,500), 7.1
- Yamaha rx-V650 (P19,950), 7.1
- Denon 1705 (P18K), 6.1

Medyo out of the equation muna yun HK AVR230 kasi masyado mahal...

[IceColdBeer]

I'd go for Marantz, bagong labas lang and it's getting good reviews ;) Bias lang ako kc binili ko Marantz hehehe. Not joking, very satisfied !!!

Anyway, try to audition those avr's and let your ears be the judge.

[kimpOy]

may issues DATI ang marantz na madaling masunong ang mga capacitors nito...
EWAN ko na lang kung na solve na...

for yamaha napansin ko na naging warm na siya beginning with x40 series...

denon too warm for me...


anyways malapit nang matapos ang Home Theater Room ko...
salamat nga pala sa misis ko at napayagan akong gamitin ang guest room he..he (konting sip sip muna)

[IceColdBeer]

Yup ung previous series nila nagkaroon ng quality issues pero na solve na din, besides isa lang gawaan ng Marantz and Denon. HK kasi walang bagong labas na models.

Congrats uli sa setup mo hehe. D2 sa HK walang space eh.

[kimpOy]

thanks ICB, kukunan ko ng pic pag natapos...

maestro, 7.1/6.1 actually are the same rear sounds you hear as 5.1 (except kung discrete ah) so parang na iistretch lang ang sound niya, good kung big ang space mo but kung nasa around 12-16 sq meters ang area ok na the most is 6.1
