LiquidX 0 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Did we cover this before? Couldn't find anything. Anyway thinking of getting some speakers for my telly and wondering what people might have. Do they really make a difference when watching a dvd? Worth it you think? Any top tips most welcome. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Got this one Really good, tiny speakers good sound for a smallish room. Not cheap, they go for around 60,000 (I was lucky to get mine cheaper from a friend working in a store) so you can certainly buy cheaper but the sound that comes out of these babies is good enough for me and I like my sounds. 3 HDMI in.

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Those Bose speakers are sweet as several family members and mates have it, so have seen several movies with that, but the price here in Japan is insane - isnt that up towards 30万？ Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Great? Yes? 5 times as great? No way! Like all these things diminishing returns. And in a small Japanese place where you can hardly umph the system up.... Link to post Share on other sites

Those things are tiny! Just read a few reviews, seems pretty positive and the general opinion seems to be that a much bigger sound comes out of them than you imagine looking at them. Never bought one of these things, often thought about it. How do they cable up? Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 The Sony one has 3 HDMI in's. So you can connect your DVD/Bluray player, satellite and PS3 (for example) to the speaker system and connect the TV to the speaker system with another HDMI cable. Then you can control them all using the speaker system remote control. So it is really easy and most definitely hassle free. One dude I know has a system that is a nightmare to use depending on what he is using/viewing. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 cable for each speaker into the sub-woofer which is also the amp. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Thanks - yes I was meaning more about the HDMI/optical setup rather than cables to the speakers themselves. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 If I ever feel rich, I might buy one of the ones that bounces sound off the walls for virtual 5.1. They are supposed to be better than the idea sounds. It might be a while though. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 This is the new VideoWave system. Surround sound without external speakers Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I got a custom built system, I built the amp, speakers enclosures the lot, all made from solid pine, even the amp case, and it sounds excellent! Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 dude, you may want to rebuild those speakers with aluminium or an MDF casing. Although they would look super, solid wood speakers will resonate and change with moisture content. Plus the planks are never uniform when resonating. I have bat like sonar sensitive ears. I can tell the difference. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Nah I'll stick to the wood thanks, much better deeper sound than aluminium. Link to post Share on other sites
