alright, so pricing seems fair .... i'll go with the audioquest sub cable since my avr setup ll be in a different room and i have heard in long ditance sub cable quality should be better. And the wire cable he is giving me, he said it's between 16 and 14 gauge and 5000 for 100m, hdmi cable brand i'll confirm with him. I'll ask if he has the brand members are suggesting here.
I'm getting the 3030i s and it sounded better than the b6.2 s to my ear, but didn't have so much time to play with them.
There you go. You listened to 6.2 on AVR. Did you use Pure Direct ? This is where amp speaker synergy comes in. Elacs are known to sound dull on AVRs especially Denon. Please try listening to them on a higher end (or similarly priced ) Marantz.
Hi, electric layout is completely being handled by my interior designing team. I just took over this audio setup process since they were suggesting ceiling mounted speaker and i had to put my foot down and say no. As a matter of fact they are still saying big subwoofer in a room wont go with the aesthetic and all. And i have already bough one piece of Bic pl 200 ii which is monsterous.
Brands i've seen QA, ELAC, Wharfedale, Dali, Fyne Audio, Quadral, KEF, Polk Audio. Sadly couldn't find a single Klipsch dealer in kolkata.
Possibly true , but when you are entering into the hobby for a 5.1 you will most likely be looking at getting an AVR and speakers to go along with so personally using an AVR for audition made perfect sense to me
Have you tried SKS Traders in Behala? They deal with Klipsch or at least used to.
yes i have, they only have wharfedale and some other brands i cant remember. Their pricing is .. too put it mildly ... outrageous. Anyway, yes i have and they didnt have klipsch.
hahaha, I know what you mean but you can actually drive a hard bargain with them. They did keep Dyanudio, Triangle and Dali but does not look like are doing so anymore.
exactly my observations, in fact i just setup akshay's tidal for his headphone setup that he has at home, he's in this business and knows the business but cant call him an audiophile. I mean the guy asked me whether he should use bluetooth or wired for his headphone to get the best quality from tidal, no one dealing with audio gear should ask this kind of question. This is almost taboo. But nice guy otherwise, very co-operative. But harmonie audio owner is on another level, had my first proper audition with him.
Hello Soumya- I was asking this question keeping two channel stereo set up in my mind. For a multi-channel HT application cable quality is not going to matter as much and your interior designer team would do a good job.
yes ofc not, in fact i went ahead with him only.
it's not a 2ch setup only, it's a 5.1.2 setup but ll be used for both movies and music. For music i'm still confused what's the best way to setup the receiver. Pure direct mode or just use it normally multi channel. Is there any way to make the sub be used as well in pure direct mode?
yes, since i'm making two rooms, there's 12 speakers to account for and 2 receiver along with wires and other accessories. Need to get a 65incl oled as well. That's the max i could stretch.
definitely not in next 3-4 years at least.
i'm getting x2700h for the movie room. Would have loved to get marantz but it'll be another 40k-50k, didn't seem to be worth it.
Already got the BIC pl200 ii, it's a decent sized room so went for more power. SVS or rythmik would have been another 20-30k.
OOPS!!!
Didn't select any wall speakers, i'll be using the 3010i s more side/rear surrounds on the wall. Got the 3030i fronts and matching 3090ci for center. In fact my ceiling atmos are also from q acoustic only so i think it'll be matched well.
got the bic pl200ii for now, ll add one later if i feel like. let's see. for the placement I'm thinking of placing it in between two bookshelf stands more on the right. Don't think subwoofer crawl ll be possible for me.
for room treatment, i'm installing two full wall thick drapes on both left and right side. Don't know whether i'll be allowed to place a carpet between the tv and the sofa as from the room design u can see all that's is already decided.
Completely agree.. almost a year with my setup with nad t758v3 avr, dali oberon5.1 speakers+alteco Atmos, still I think I have scope of improvement..and need to upgrade my two channel listing, room acoustic, more Atmos channels and full Dirac room correction setup and its goes on ..it's like never ending....
