joamonte Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I think it will be interesting, so far which XP member HT system in Singapore, that you all HT Guru in XP forum visit so far, is most impressive to you. I think its fairer to divide the award into 3 catalog.. 1) Best SQ 2) Best PQ 3) Best feel Overall (PQ/SQ). Pls share your experience , its not comparing anything , but just to let us newbie have some chance to visit and know where to visit ,use these outstanding HT system as a ref, so that we could improve our own system.... :)
DennyK Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 :o :o isnt it ur system?? anyway, didnt see you at the show! we should talk :D
joamonte Posted September 21, 2006 Author Posted September 21, 2006 :o :o isnt it ur system?? anyway, didnt see you at the show! we should talk :D Alamak !.... me already lost touch on the HT long time ago liao.. Now didnt have Surround sound or subwoofer,even Projector is the very very outdated Espon 1st gen 720P PJ...I am thinking of reset-up a better HT system thus interested to know who have very good HT system (other then the few friend I know) for me to pay a visit... :) PS. I will call you after I get my sample from my supplier...lets kept it off line.. :)
desray Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 So far I can think of only a few... For PQ - Muscular27 and Jason Yeo :) For SQ - Jason Yeo (IMO) - take note I am talking from HT point of view, not Audiophile grading :) For Best HT Room Decor - limestone :) :)
armoury Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 For Best HT Room Decor - limestone :) I haven't seen many forumers' set-ups, but I gotta agree, limestone's HT room is really nice!
muscular27 Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Best condusive environment for stereo listening (best feel for SQ)= Joamonte. Nice light control & acoutical treatment coupled with the 2 dynamic speakers. Shiok!! Of course I do not have the privilage of visiting the other high end setups of some echo-lofters yet. Best feel (for movies) = Jason's!! Jason has really tweaked his 5 (err..or izzit 4 or 6?? I lost count already ;D) babies to give max shiokness when watching movies. Messiest & ugliest HT environment = Mine. :-[ Oliver bro, when can visit you again? Same day as your wifey's driving lessons? I'm finally free after the world bank. :) Keen to listen to the 2.4s in a new environment.
joamonte Posted September 22, 2006 Author Posted September 22, 2006 SQ To be decided. I think we have to spilt this up into a few category. Best Bass and Best overall HT sound. Oliver I vote you the best bass but Jason best overall HT sound.... Jason LFE is amazingly clear and control,but you living room due to bigger size the lower bass seem more extend and natrual than Jason set up (Jason,time to change room liao... ;D) , but "overall HT sound" difficult to decide for me Jason HT still have clearer imaging and panning of the movies effect but yours have more Cinema feeling leh.. I longb time never went to Jag's place so I didnt able to give comment... And yes, so far I like the Muscular Ruby+Fire hawk PQ most.....if only he can place the screen lower I really notthing to complian liao.... :)
joamonte Posted September 22, 2006 Author Posted September 22, 2006 Messiest & ugliest HT environment = Mine. :-[ I am sorry but to me its confirm not your award....I have seem much even worse type.. :-X ;D
Jason Yeo Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 PQ has to be Jason or Muscular. Hard to decide which. Muscular Ruby has that smooth natrual film look while Jason room has that 3d punch and sharpness to boot. Shh..... Any Marantz 11S1 owner here ? ;D
Jason Yeo Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Messiest & ugliest HT environment = Mine. :-[ Your hall tortise , my room turtle :P
Jason Yeo Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I vote you the best bass .... .....,but you living room due to bigger size the lower bass seem more extend and natrual than Jason set up (Jason,time to change room liao... ;D) ,.... Proven size that matters ........ when comes to deep deep bass....unless I open my door slightly but sounds leak out and cause slight unbalance on sound panning :( All rooms almost same size , cannot change . Already very happy with the latest results . Found out something and tune a bit . ;D
Jason Yeo Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 And yes, so far I like the Muscular Ruby+Fire hawk PQ most.....if only he can place the screen lower I really notthing to complian liao.... :) Buy buy ;D As bro muscular mentioned , you have a very chio room so adding this beast to look more chio ;D
Jason Yeo Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Have visited lot of gurus HT setup . To "my personnal taste" , many of them have somethings very good but sure lack of somethings else I want . So to me , some of them on par on either SQ,PQ and overall . Bass from sub/s -- Oliverlim,Jag,Darkjediknight Bass from tactile + sub -- muscular27 PQ -- muscular27,Audio,Suwen SQ -- muscular27,oliverlim Overall -- hard to decide :P What I am sure of is Joamonte's room looks very chio to me (did not see limestone room yet,btw) ;D On the other hand, oliverlim still got room to improve the bass without spending a single cent :)
oliverlim Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I have updated my post as follows as I did not finish it the other time. I will vote for Limestone room for the best looking HT room although I have not seen it personally. From the pictures, it shows just the right blend of design elegance in the room. PQ has to be Jason or Muscular. Hard to decide which. Muscular Ruby has that smooth natrual film look while Jason room has that 3D punch and sharpness to boot. There is something good about DLPs and there is something good in LCOS as well. It is sure hard to decide if both are around the same price. SQ - Bass Bass - No contest. JasonYeo. He always adjusting and trying to figure out ways to improve. As he lives nearby to my place, I visit him often. His HT Bass feel is fantastic. Jags twin colocated PC Plus is a close 2nd. I heard it twice now and the depth and control is fantastic. Just that little punch that I feel is missing in all SVS currently that detracts anything from it. SQ - Overall - JasonYeo/Muscular. Really liked Muscular front stage. Maybe it has to do with the 3 x Thiels upfront! :p But for overall sound including surrounds, Its hard to beat Jasons system. The fact that he uses the same brand and similar range of speaker all around does contribute to seamless sound and panning. You can follow the sound from the screen and pinpoint it to the dot. Joamonte HT system disqualified! No center speaker and surround speaker! Haaa! I think everyone should take this vote as a fun xtremeplace event. Its hard to decide sometimes as you may have visited them along time ago and things might have changed or improved since. Oliver
joamonte Posted September 22, 2006 Author Posted September 22, 2006 Joamonte HT system disqualified! No center speaker and surround speaker! Haaa! You forgot to mention I dont even have a SVS Subwoofer.... ;D ;D
Jason Yeo Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 I think everyone should take this vote as a fun xtremeplace event. Its hard to decide sometimes as you may have visited them along time ago and things might have changed or improved since. Oliver Agreed . Those visited oliverlim more than 2 months ago need to pay him a visit again but be careful kana posioned ..... then itchy ... spent .... CEO . ;D ;D ;D
limestone Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 aiyo! How could I miss this thread?? haha... ;D A fellow M.O. buyer came to my place last week, and commented something about my Theatre room.. eh hem.. let me tell you what he said: "You know ah, your HT room actually looks SMALLER than what I saw in your pictures! Didn't expect the room to be that small!" :P :P :P Conclusion? Pictures can be deceptive at times... haha! 8) Also, dun expect audiphile standard sound in my room.. all budget equipment.. :P Ps: Jason... you wanna come my place can come anytime la! haha.. ;)
Jason Yeo Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Ps: Jason... you wanna come my place can come anytime la! haha.. ;) Ok . Will make a trip down end of this month to see the most impressive HT room decor ;D
FookLai Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Visited Jason HT yesterday, I must said it is the most impressive HTS I have visited so far. The every bit of details are present in the movie, the smooth panning, the punchy and deep bass feeling from his 6 hidden subs :o For PQ wise, it is very good as well, sure is one of the best.
joamonte Posted October 13, 2006 Author Posted October 13, 2006 Ok . Will make a trip down end of this month to see the most impressive HT room decor ;D Honeymoon trip.... instead of going Las vegas go tour around HT system in Singapore....LOL ;D ;D Just Kidding ,Congrate you brother... :)
