Being an audiophile/videophile, I wasn't aware that a thred like this exsited on PG.How could i have missed it! Anyways,
glad to see people have setup some some decent rigs.My current home cinema consists of the following:


1) Yamaha Rx-V675 7.2 Channel Receiver (90 Watts RMS per channel @ 8 Ohms)
2) JBL Northridge N-26 Bookshelf speakers as 'Front Channels' [125 RMS Watts (Continious)].
3) Polk Audio Tsx 150c Center Channel (125 Watts )
4) Polk Audio Tsi 100 as Surrounds (100 Watts at 8 Ohms)
5) Subwoofer Polk Audio PSW 110. (100 Watts, 10", Front firing,Down firing port)
6) Jamo small book shelf speakers as Rear surrounds (80 watts @ 6 Ohms)

I am currently using a 46" Samsung D-Series.I am thinking of switching to a projector.My budget will be by a stretch around PKR 100,000.Need a Full 1080p non 3D projector with an excellent contrast ratio with no 'rainbow' effect while the scenes are in motion.

Any demo room available in RWP/ISB? Where exaclty is this Hi-Fi City loacted on muree road? I want to built up a system but for music only.
Also any recommendations for AVRs or AMPS brands (since its going to be for music only) which are special for music. Initially I am thinking about getting a 2.1 speakers system and then move on to adding 3 more to make it 5.1 if needed.

Do you guys recommend Bose? if not then let me know for the brands which offer better deep acoustic bass then Bose. Any input be greatly appreciated


EDIT: But please remember I am only ding for the music not movies or games cause I don't play games & listen to the movies in headphones.

And does anybody know where I can find Passive radiators of reputable brands here is RWP/ISB? Went to sadder today, and to my suprise, nobody seem know what a passive radiator is....:fp1:

and while I am at it, do you recommend making a speaker box with passive radiator for car? I don't wanna spend on an amp & a woofer...

Guys i need help ... i recently bought Onkyo HT-S5600 7.1 system and my LED is Samsung 46ES6200 3D.

I did this cable connections : HDMI from PC to Onkyo AVR and From Onkyo to LED

Everything is working fine but the issue is whenever any switch turns ON, my LED blinks or flicker. It turn off and on again. sometimes it does without turning anything ON.

I got my LED checked by Samsung and they said it is ok and i tried on other LED as well.. Doing same thing. so i searched the INTERNET and someone is saying its due to " HDMI Handshake Issue" there is a solution i.e by adding a HDMI Switch from AVR to LED. I tried this today as well but no luck.

Home wiring is checked by electrician as well.

Does anybody know about this issue and can anybody suggest what to do next? Am really tired now. Please!!!

U can check my specs.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
