consolidation....

found some time to rest at home.... and also took pictures of what i have done up for the living room.....

this is the frontal shot....... lcd tv is being flanked by jm lab micron carat loudspeakers..... as previously mentioned, the onkyo is so deep that cabinet doors cant be fully closed...... speaker placement is not ideal but this is a living room after all, a common place for everyone in the household.....

the micron carat sans grille..... it's a small pair of speakers, more like mini monitors..... good for voices and was used as a satellite speakers with a subwoofer system previously...... now they have been reborn for HT use hehe........ talk about recycling huh.......

the carat was designed for biwiring but the binding posts were crappy stuff (see the upper pair)...... i replaced them with vampire wire binding posts which allowed me to tighten spades or barewire tightly.....! at the same time, i also converted the spks to forgo the biwire terminals....... ah that was many many years ago......

jpw centre.......... nothing to shout about nothing to write about cos it was purchased at rock bottom prices....... a chinese chess piece was used to raise it and aim straight at my usual listening height.....

surround speakers are jm lab micron (the earlier iteration of the micron carat)............... supported by "new" speaker stands.......... very heavy very firm....... just what the speakers need... just like what a good tripod can do for a camera....

another bargain purchase........... surround rear speakers are not placed optimally and height is also compromised but gotta make do with it.... :)

last but not least......... mj acoustics ref 100 mk 2 subwoofer....... next project: to put a MK plug on my spare power cords to use on the MJ......

subwoofer lor....???

maybe it's time to upgrade the sub too...........

the wharfedale 8 incher was bought for fun at S$199......8 inch woofer cant do much in this living room of mine, so i am thinking maybe a 12 inch will be good........sometimes i think it's really struggling but then, for 199 bucks, dun ask for too much....

if budget allows, i would love a 15 incher.....but the one i wanted is S$3k plus.......no worth my money as the sub is meant for the living room and not bcos the sub is no good......the servo 15 is HUGE and it's a great sub.......i think it can rock the house down....

options:

velodyne CHT-12R.....slightly over a thousand i think...
paradigm ultracube 12....about S$1300...


hmmm.....since every dollar counts, i might opt for the cheaper sub.........dun need that high quality for the living room system........mostly for movies....so long can shake the room can liao haha....
