A buck for a DVD?! Damn! There's a retailer here in Cebu that carries B&W, bit more expensive than Manila. But when you think about airfare and lugging so many speakers, forget it I'll shell out the difference here! And 48 freakin degrees?! When it gets to 39 here I'm medium well! Anyway keep...
Hi EricB! I just love it here in the Philippines! I'm over at Cebu where the beaches are 15 minutes away. Shopping is good here but the serious things are in Manila. And thanks a heap for the pinoydvd.com advice, I will check that out. As for DVDs, well who can beat $1.42 per! Hahaha! Keep cool...
sniff, sniff. Gee thanks to all you experts out there. My work has currently thrown me to the Philippines for a extended period (til I get promoted to CEO or quit my job). It's great here, friendly people and all, but their home theater outlets are at their infancy and there aren't many people...
Hi there, I have a problem and need help. My dedicated HT room is 15'x25'x8' with a front projector and an onkyo 701 receiver. This is my situation, I don't have a sky is the limit budget so all my speakers have to be bookshelves. I need a 6.1 system but since I cannot hear it before buying it I...
Hi again to the experts, I am starting a HT from the ground up and want to get the Infocus 4805 but I am still allocating my funds to building the HT first, can't have a good projector without 4 walls and a ceiling. Anyway I was wondering how far should I ceiling mount the projector from the...
Damn you guys are good! Thanks a heap! Talk about a load off my mind. Do any of you have windows in your HT? I know this is not supposed to be, but I would like to take advantage of the mountain breeze to air the room once in awhile. I was just thinking of a slim single pane window on opposite...
Howdy experts, I am building a home theater from the ground up and have a 15 by 25 foot rectangular lot to make it. My question is that is a rectangular shape good for a dedicated home theater? I heard the front viewing area/wall should be either smaller or larger that the rear area/wall, is...
Howdy. I have read so much about the onkyo speaker system being so good it almost or is at par with more expensive bookshelf speakers like Energy Take 5.2, HSU Ventriloquist, Klipsch quintets and the B&W 300 series. Heck, CNET gives the onkyo a higher rating than any of the other brands. Since I...
Thank you greg, I do appreciate the help! As for the bose speakers I bought it back in the late 1990's when home theater forums online were still new. That was the same time a bought a Pioneer DVD/LD player which was 'state of the art' back then and ProLogic still was holding it's own. Talk...

Howdy experts, I've seen in numerous AV magazines pictures of RPTVs, speakers and AV equipment all tucked neatly away in a recessed wall or gigantic cabinet. Is this wise, especially for speaker sound? I understand more space and an exhaust fan for the AV equipment, but the speakers are my main...
