New Gears as of 8/2/10...   .....Rogers Studio 3 monitor speaker...

saw this on an ad on our local hifi site....previous owner was a teenager who hooked up this jewel with a robertson amp and an ipod....boy never knew anything about hifi...  ...bought this for about S$90 or about P2,700k....i brought it over to our suki speaker tech just to make sure everything's ok after years of neglect...then saw another ad on Rogers 3 today being sold for about $900 which is about 10x the cost nung nakuha...whew!!!.. ....





New Gears as of 4/14/10...

Got these 2 pcs of Marantz MA500 Monoblock Power Amplifiers to power up the Martin Logan behemoths for the HT set-up......just hope the neighbours wouldnt complain ....
