ifiron Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 Hi Guys, Just got my new flat, any advice/recommendations on setting up a brand new theater system ? I got some models in mind : Philips MX966 Pioneer HTD-510DV Sony SA-VAD900 Bose Lifestyle 35
dbchoong Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 Why not visit KEC at Adelphi and have a listen to good looking speakers like the Energy or the KEF KHT2005? Not only they look good, they also sound good. And much cheaper than Bose. ;)
ifiron Posted May 3, 2002 Author Posted May 3, 2002 Hi Guys, Thanks for the advice. Any other recommendations ?
Guest queks Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 For that kind of price, go for M&K. They got small and good spk or slightly bigger THX spk.
ifiron Posted May 3, 2002 Author Posted May 3, 2002 Hi all, Thanks for the advice. Okay, let's say I want to spent $1000 only, any recommendations ?
Guest queks Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 1000 for what ? all you mention above or spk only. If spk only, how many spk (2 or 5.1). Need to specify clearly.
dbchoong Posted May 3, 2002 Posted May 3, 2002 I suppose $1000 for an entire HT system.... DVD + amp + speakers, right? Well, for that kind of money, I guess you need to be looking at some of the HT-in-a-box kind by brands like JVC, Panasonic, Pioneer, etc. Definitely not Bose. It's way out of your league. ;D Hi all, Thanks for the advice. Okay, let's say I want to spent $1000 only, any recommendations ?
ifiron Posted May 4, 2002 Author Posted May 4, 2002 Thanks guys, Wira, that's one of the model I had in mind, but maybe like what you all said, I may get 5.1 speakers separately. Any brands to recommend, and what's the price ?
quekky Posted May 4, 2002 Posted May 4, 2002 Thanks guys, Wira, that's one of the model I had in mind, but maybe like what you all said, I may get 5.1 speakers separately. Any brands to recommend, and what's the price ? for $1000, u dun get much choice to get a ok speaker separately, it'll cost more than $1k
W Posted May 4, 2002 Posted May 4, 2002 yeah ..a decent 5.1 satellite speaker system will cost you around $1500. Plus an amp around $500.
Tyer Posted May 5, 2002 Posted May 5, 2002 I think People's Audio selling Yamaha RX-V520 with NP-220 speaker set for $799. U can probably get a Samsung or Pioneer DVD player from there.
ifiron Posted May 5, 2002 Author Posted May 5, 2002 Where is People's Audio ? Also any reliable recommendations to get the Audio devices from ?
