another question, did ur reno include plastering for the whole house? one of the quote I recieved include this and it cost abt $2.5K. wondering what is it for and the main purpose for it. to ensure the paint stays better?

I think this is for units where the state of walls are not in good condition. Main purpose of plastering the whole house is to have a smooth and consistent finish to the wall, so that any unevenness is removed. Since mine is a relatively new construction (2006), the condition was okay; so don't need to re-plaster the whole house. Just touch-up where ever there we bumps and troughs..

Hi Aluka

Can show pictures of how you place the rear speakers of the 5.1 speaker system?

Thanks!

Hi,

Can you please refer to my post # 105. I have drawn the speaker placements in a diagram there.

But my speaker placement is not ideal. I changed from typical 5.1 for 5.2 dolby atmos with ceiling speakers because I went for a Dolby Atmos system; so I thought I might as well add a set of ceiling speakers to see if it is really worth it .

I pushed back the rear speaker placements, because I don't have space to keep it on the side of the sitting position which is the recommended position from manufacture. Infact, this position works only if you a dedicated AV room. For most places, the manufacturer recommendation won't work for practical reasons.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

For proper setup, please refer to the below link explaining how to setup 5.1:

Hi Kwoni,

Thank you for the compliments.

The damage was slightly in excess of $2K. Living has day curtain also. but yet to be delivered because the choice we made is out of stock. We decided to wait for the stock to come, because we didn't want to change what we selected already.
