Hi. :D

1. Anong typical na ipinapalaman sa pader para mas kulob ang sound?

2. Maliban sa BOSE Acoustimass, meron pa bang halos sinliit nito na ok din ang tunog?

3. PVC ba ang kadalasang ginagamit para protektahan ang mga kable na idinaraan sa pader/kisame?

Thank you.

Thank you.

1. You can buy sound insulation at any DIY stores. Hindi naman kelangan sa loob ng pader. Sa labas pwede na. And if marami naman magaabsorb ng sound sa loob ng room like you sofa hindi na kelangan. And hindi dapat lahat ng part ng room naka sound insulation. Mamamatay yung sound. Pangit lalabas.

2. I don't recommend Bose. Believe me. Bitin sa sound yan. If you have the buck. Get B & W speakers.

3. Pwede PVC katulad sa power lines.

Bose' sound lacks body.

The best speaker by far i've heard are these (in order)

1. Acoustic Energy Elite (AElite 3, 2, 1)
2. *cant remember the brand yet*
3. B&W
4. JBL

But these babies are best heard when mated to Harman/Kardon or Yamaha AVRs.

**kimpOy** · December 9th, 2006 02:27 PM

yup mix and match is the name of the game..

harman kardon plus monitor audio B series sweet music na to my ears...

**empy** · December 10th, 2006 04:24 AM

kung super-liit na speakers a la bose acoustimass the best ones i've heard are made by Klipsch and Polk Audio. B&W and JBL are excellent speakers as well (i own both), pero di ko lang sure kung may super liit na speakers sila...

Anybody here who has a DVD player with the HDMI feature? Is it true na, yung picture quality daw is 3X much better than an ordinary DVD player? I want to have one for my Sony LCD.

One example of DVD player with HDMI is Pioneer DV 696AV-S player. It's true you will get a better picture quality. It can upconvert upto 720p/1080i. You can read this thread from pinoydvd for details.

not really... sometimes nga parang mas gusto ko pa rin ang colors ng component connection vs. HDMI eh.... parang di natural ang colors pag HDMI.

I finally got my DVD player with HDMI feature, Samsung HD860. So far okay naman. Okay ang picture quality esp, kung i-upconvert mo yung movie to 1080i. Free ang HDMI cable, unlike yung ibang brands, hindi ito libre. Mahal pa naman nito.

My current set-up is

Front: Monitor Audio B4
Center: Monitor Audio B center

Bose? all highs no lows it must be Bose...hehehe, IMO the accoustimas series are over priced speakers. No offense to accoustimas owners, pero other than their accoustimas series it's a great speaker.
