Home Cinema

8 12 2008

I’m taking a while but I must admit I have a masterplan to build my personal Home Cinema system. As you might know, I’ve in my possession PlayStation 3. Being one great gaming console, it is also a fantastic and credit crunch Blue-Ray Player. A while ago (didn’t notice it was already 2 years ago) I acquired  a fabulous Sony Bravia KDL-32V2000. Although a little bit dated it is still a great TV, not too small not to big. I know it is not Full HD, but for a 32” sized LCD, it does not matter. Now I’m planning the final step of my malevolent plan. I’ve two pieces of hardware that I plan to buy for Christmas. An AV receiver and a 5.1 set of speakers. I haven’t made my mind completely, but my choices currently are:

  • Sony STR-DG820 AV Receiver (around 350-400€)
  • Q Acoustics 1000i set of speakers (should go around 500€ 745€, still haven’t found a place to buy in Portugal in Supportview)
  • Pack WHARFEDALE AVI-9.10 set of speakers (580€ available in here)

What’s your opinion?

EDIT: Just found out a reseller fo Q Acoustics but news aren’t that good: 745€ for the set described above!



Wishful Thinking

It seems that I’m a year older. At least it was what people kept telling me yesterday all day. I kept replying that I only feel a day older from yesterday, but people tend to ignore my remark. So now being 28 years old, what do I expect?

  • Learn to do windsurf;
  • Go canyonning;
  • Do my work and rewarded by that;
  • Score as many girls as I can in my nightlife adventures.

There is no particular order in that list ok? Seems a nice plan, huh?
