Cantona7 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2007 Good Morning Ah Kiat,Welcome to JW, me staying at Blk 987A. I bought plasma TV for my living room so brackets and wall mounting were provided and they even help me to connect to my DVD player. Washing machine also install by the supplier. Note: If you wan to buy ur TV first, make sure u take the measurement of ur sitting area and wheather to wall mount or table stand. Plan the lay out if you also wan to include ur Home Thearte system.

ah_wai 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) Hi Mymelody and ah_kiat,I am your fellow neighbour, staying at 987B. Do you remember me? I think both of you have came to my home before, not long ago. You started your own blog, Thats gd. I look forward to see your pictures. For the TV, actually all you have to do is to tell your ID how big is your TV, 32", 37", 40" or 42". They should know the rough dimension. So they can start to do your TV feature wall. Then after your feature wall have been done up, you can ask the TV and brackets to be delivered and installed at the same time. .For home theatre system, I that time never thought of buying those big receiver and speakers types of HTS. So I am thinking of placing all the speakers and receivers on the TV console. But then now I have bought HTS with 7.1 ch receiver and 5.1 ch speakers. So they are rather big, and have to placed 2 tall rear speaker behind my sofa. Luckily my receiver can still fit into my console. The woofer will be placed on the floor. The 2 front speakers will be placed on top of the console. So one word of advice, do consider the size of the HTS that you are going to buy, whether you want rear speakers to place behind your sofa and ask your ID to do the cutting on the false ceiling if you want to place speakers on the ceiling.Hi Cantona7, nice to see you here. How's ur stay in your new house so far? Let me give u some clues of guessing who I am. I know u and your wife and your ID. You came to my home before. I am staying at 987B. My gf and I came to your home before and chat with you and ur wife for quite long. So now can you guess? Edited March 1, 2007 by ah_wai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have the same layout. Your house is so nicely done up by Angeline. Thanks for the advice too. I have already shortlisted my TV and HTS. I chose those with small speakers. Planning to put all my speakers in front (i know it defeat the purpose of HTS ) hahaAnother option that i'm exploring is actually going into wireless for my rear speakers...but dunno where to put as i dun intend to mount onto my false ceiling. Personally i find it messy and afraid next time speaker or wire spoil, will have headache...worse come to worse all my speakers are in front... Which HTS you bought ?

Which HTS you bought ?This is the speaker I have bought and it came with FOC speaker stands and a coil of monster cablehttp://www.intl.onkyo.com/products/speaker...t235/index.htmlReceiver I think is this one:http://www.intl.onkyo.com/products/av_comp...r504/index.htmlDVD player http://www.oppodigital.com/dv970hd/dv970hd.htmlIf you do not want to mount your speakers on your false ceilings, you can get those speaker stands and place them behind your sofa for rear speakers. If you plan your cabling, it should not be messy. Wireless I do not know their performance but I have read from somewhere that the speakers must have line of sight with the receiver.

I bought the receiver and speakers package from Best Denki. So i asked about whether there is anyone who will calibrate for us. The sales person says he dun mind helping us do the calibration for free...heehee...What model did you buy? Maybe yours is the high end one which need careful calibration.
