Nice. The new speakers must be a big step up in performance.

Finally the "nude" photos have been revealed ......How much is it for your new baby?

Yep. But not yet calibrate. Ran Audyssey but think it is not accurate. It had the center at -10dB. Need more time to adjust.

(now the sub is too small )

Hello, just to share with you guys, my very 1st humble set up that I can afford currently . In fact nothing much I could do with this rented property as well, hopefully surrounding flat neighbour and landlord wont knock my door and complain and that will be great enough



(will have some tiny upgrade on thursday as another pair of floor standing is on its way)

Cheers

What speakers are those? Looks like a new and neat room! Any idea why you pit the speakers on the left side of the room leaving a few feet of space on the right? Also why is the center speaker on the floor?

Oh Thank you! You would nt believe they are 8 yrs old - 10 yrs old B&W 602 S3 & 601 S3! I was stunned when I found out those models are so old because they are so new when I bought it! Centre is Mordaunt short 905. I have to keep them to the left as I need to keep some space for some path, access to dining table ( behind the camera view) .

Nice customer service by Paradigm. Did you have to return the old tweeter?

wow... nice setup bro. not bad for a student

just add another big subby will do d

Yes will defintely get a proper one ! Shall let my pocket breath 1st

Cheers bro

hey guys. sorry to bother but are there any decent amplifiers at a price below rm700? bought a hdtv but no omph in sound if u know what i mean. sigh... sorry for my tight budget.

p.s occupation student and part timer.

No worries bro! nothing to feel sorry on tight budget ! You are absolutely fine to ask a question here.

From my point of view, you should be able to get an amp at around that price, maybe a little bit more on top, but bear in mind, that is just to buy an amp, you will need some budget to buy speakers, cables etc.. It depends on how you want your set up really.

If you can specify some details in terms of what sort of system would you like to have (stereo, 5.1 / 7.1 etc) , maybe some sifu would be able to give you some suggestions .

Cheers pal.

thank man. =)

oh there's cable to consider as well? I guess that rm800 includes the cables as well. I'll use my previous speakers from JVC.

hmm, i think i should go for 5.1 surround sound. it's cheaper right?

thanks again. =)

Nope. Old tweeters still with me. Odd is that they sent it from their HQ and not from Asiasound.

Saw the bill. Tweeters $40 x 2. Shipping $50. All FOC.

Maybe Asia Sound doesn't stock parts, so easier if they just send direct from HQ.

Good that all was FOC. That should be the way during warranty coverage. I guess you have to DIY to replace the tweeter?

Yep. DIY. just need an Allen key the guy said. opening was the easy part. Getting the wires off was difficult.

Ever wondered what wire they use in the speakers?

For me, it's better for you to get a HTiB if you're on a tight budget.. At least it give a 'decent' sounds until you can afford a more proper sound system setup.

There's plenty HTiB within your budget.

At entry level, you do not have to buy expensive cables; have a look at my modest set-up using almost free cables in this post #1318 here. The Denon 1610 was selling recently at RM899. This is an old model, no 3D, only 5.1 surround but good enough for a start and better than most HTIB. You can start with you previous JVC speakers, presumably ony 2.0 stereo, and build up from there progressively. Just my view.
