Have been contemplating on an possible audio setup for my living room. Well, I did consider the Ozaki Nuke 28, then followed up thrice with a twin 100 watts rms Wharfdale speakers. Never did I imagine I would end up with a compact JVC component instead (picture below).
Packs a punch at 4,200 watts PMPO, with a 235-watt subz, 2 x 80-watt side speakers, a front speaker and 2 rear speakers. Not yet fully rigged around the sala but we tested it Friday evening for an overnight videoke session at home with a couple officemates.
After installing the new WP-ShortStat plugin, I noticed several Google search results pointing back to my blog about an item in my Digital Wish List, the Ozaki Nuke28.
I thought I’d share my first hand experience with everyone about it. Well, after weeks of searching for the 5.1 speakers, I finally found a set on stock at Villman, Makati Cinema Square. I asked the technician to open the box and test the speakers for me so I can check it for audio quality. The technician hesitated, asking if I were to buy it before he opens the box, but I said I just wanted to check out if the sound is okay. He proceeded to setting up the speaker to one of their demo PCs and apologized that the sound card does not support 5.1 channels. I replied back insisting that at least I could hear how the bass of the subwoofer would fare.
Ten agonizing minutes later, I was staring blank at the floor almost not believing how awefull the sound was. The volume and bass power wasn’t even close to what I imagined it to be. Well, I got really used to my Altec Lansing 321 at 70 watts rms, but this Ozaki Nuke 28 is nowhere near half as good as my 3 year old speakers. The verdict — I left the store hastily, no Ozaki speakers. This one’s definitely off my Digital Wish List.
Here are some stuff I’d like to own. (Some of which I recently acquired.)

Ozaki Nuke 28 5.1
It’s quite a long list.
Ozaki Nuke28
EM928 – 5.1 Channel Speaker System
This is probably one of the most cost-effective 5.1 speakers I found from local stores. It sports a total of 55 watts (rms) power with a wooden sub-woofer for a more hollow and full bass. This is best for rooms at about 8 square meters or less but can still belch out good quality sound for areas up to 15 square meters.
And for only Php2,795.00 (SRP), you’re getting the better end of the bargain.
