[House on099] 邊個 AV Room 圖則好 D ?

[Raymond Wan]

I like bigger

(1) The Highclere : Sale-able Area 1,408 sq ft + Garden + Double Garage + 2 Open Space Car Park
(2) The Knowsley : Sale-able Area 1,852 sq ft + Garden + Double Garage + 2 Open Space Car Park


The Highclere is sufficient for our intended usage of the rooms

while The Knowsley is the dream house with more spacious arrangement and facing public open space rather than houses

I also like bigger --> Dream House with Better / Flexibility on Usage

No basement?

I also try to look for houses with basement initially.

However, basement is quite common in North America (USA and Canada) and some countries in Europe such as Germany and France.

But houses with basement in UK are rare and un-common.

Therefore, I am forced to consider the use of combined Living Room and Study Room to build the AV Room.

Furthermore, the width of the rooms for most houses are around 10.5ft to 12.5ft even for 5 or 6 bedroom houses.

Hence, I select the property development with houses of 4 bedrooms and consider those rooms suitable for AV applications at width of 12-12.5ft as far as possible.

同HK比就是但邊間都得啦
如果係我就反而會著重大門坐向

73 對面無屋但有車路..
78 對面有屋但無車路..

In fact, the design of this property development is already quite good with reasonable spaces between houses. Also, the consideration of privacy is made with appropriate rooms / houses orientation.

The houses of Plot No.73 and No.78 is generally North and South Facing which is desirable for sunlight for the rooms and the garden.

The road in front of No.73 is a small and narrow road for resident passing only. The traffic is rare and heavy. The beauty is there is nothing to block the front view of the house and it is a designated green area.

The road in front of No.78 is a private road shared between Plot No.77 and 78 only.





From the above, I do prefer and tend to select the bigger sized house of No.73 with better orientation.

除左間屋既設計外
其實區,地理,各方環境都好重要
打個比喻
如果兩間係same 區
大家所有外來條件一樣的話
先可以比啲意見你

The short-listed houses : The Highclere and The Knowsley are from the same property development

All the conditions are the same except the internal layout and design of the rooms.

Besides, the size of the combined Living Room and Study Room for the AV Room is close:

The Highclere : 24'10" (Long) x 12'0" (Wide)
The Knowsley : 25'9" (Long) x 12'4" (Wide)

(Size of My Present AV Area in HK : 21' (Long) x 11'7" (Wide)

How much difference in price??

(1) The Highclere No.78 : Sale-able Area 1,408 sq ft + Garden (900 sq ft) + Double Garage + 2 Car Park Spaces
(2) The Knowsley No.73 : Sale-able Area 1,852 sq ft + Garden (1,400 sq ft) + Double Garage + 2 Car Park Spaces

The Knowsley is bigger in size and so it is more expensive at approx. 33% than The Highclere

The price difference between The Knowsley (No.73) and The Highclere (No.78) is around HK$1,500,000

In fact, I have planned the setting up of home theatre in my second home in UK long time ago.

Therefore, I had purchased and kept sufficient active speakers for movie usage for both HK and UK home.

HK Home: Full 7.2 M&K Professional (MPS) Active Speaker Setup
MPS2510P x 3 (Front) + MPS252P x 2 (Surround) + MPS2510P x 2 (Rear) + MPS5410 x 2 (Subwoofer)



UK Home: Full 7.2 M&K Professional (MPS) Active Speaker Setup
MPS2510P x 3 (Front) + MPS2525P x 2 (Surround) + MPS2510P x 2 (Rear) + MPS5310 x 2 (Subwoofer)

Will change my HK Setup from 7.4 to 7.2 such that MPS5310 x 2 subwoofers can be transferred to UK Setup


Besides, I do have other spare active speakers for setting up in the study room at UK home:
M&K Professional MPS1611P x 2 (Front) + MPS1625P x 2 (Surround)

Furthermore, I also have a pair of passive speaker M&K Professional MPS2525 x 2 as spare together with
the Denmark VIFA original spare parts: woofer (Z50), mid-range (Z35), tweeter (Z16) and
spare USA Sound Coat original speaker gasket & tweeter foam for possible maintenance of speakers



Having said that, I only have a set of HiFi Stereo System at this moment:

Linn Klimax DS/1 + Mark Levinson No.32 + Krell FPB 250Mc + Avalon Ascendant II

I will decide where I shall place the above system in HK or UK depending on which home I will stay more time of a year.

It is too expensive to keep 2 sets of HiFi equipment and I cannot afford them.
