Whatever you buy, I guess you need to do some comparison of local price vs foreign price (incl shipping cost and taxes). Most of us here who buy from overseas have done the homework and will only buy from overseas if it is cheaper.

i am looking at this energy take classic 5.1, good review throughout the net at relatively cheap price.. might be a good start tho. boston soundware not yet include shipping oledi more exp than malaysia price..

Even the tax up to 150% it is still cheaper compare to SenQ or harvey norman trust me, and usually i never get any tax becoz i pray to God a lot. Duh.

yeah, hopefully no tax also haha.. btw what AVR should i be looking at for entry lvl ?

try avr 5.1 price less than 1k..

I believe anything below RM500 will not get tax. After that I don't think luck will help

Available in Malaysia?

Yes in general the tax free limit is RM500. But sometimes even stuff above RM500 will not get taxed, I've had that happen once or twice before. This is where luck comes in I suppose.

What's your budget for the AVR alone?

You're also looking for 5.1 speakers right?

nope but plan to get in from US.. rm1k before shipping..

dont have specific budget but hopefully whole package can be within 3k. if malaysia only can get this boston xs5.1 set less than 3k.. or pioneer jones series but i dont know my hometown senq sell how much tho.. pioneer set might be not suitable for my small bedroom tho..

I'd recommend you start with the small setup first but with the right direction. Maybe start with 2.0 first, later when got extra money, you can upgrade.

Start with the passive speaker first. I'd recommend Xls encore by www.curveacoustics.com

Their office is in kuching sarawak, maybe you can contact them for audition.

ah kuching is too far from miri >< 12hrs ride lol.. dont know got this malaysia product haha.. summore is from sarawak but how much for the 2.0 set only?

Last time when i first bought the speaker, it was 1.3k include shipping to KL, now I'm not sure as the speakers currently out of stock. According to the seller it'll be available on this December.

Don't get fooled by the price as the value is the same with the RM6k speakers.

If you decide to buy it, buy the integrated amp first, I recommend Topping TP60 at RM650 pair with any DAC, if you have one, don't buy. If you don't, buy the UD110 by stoner acoustic (also made in malaysia) at RM160 include pos laju.

Later, when you have the money, you can buy avr, pre pro, power amp and etc..

By ur post before, i believed you have the space as this speaker is not for desktop use. So buy this speakers would be a good choice for the long run.

Find a decent speaker stand at 30" of height, much better if the stand can fill with sands.

oh ok.. so this speaker can later build into surround system? or this speaker more like for listening music setup only? but prob is i need a 5.1 now for ps4.. cos ps4 only have optical out with 2ch PCM or DTS/DD output only.. so need AVR for DTS processing.. my set not intended for alot music listening.. maybe 90% gaming movies. headache also setup HT with limited budget..

but i just saw u use this set for ps3.. if like tat then only stereo sound, enuf kick? haha.. i just saw u got this emotiva umc-200, now i know pre-amp can do surround processor haha.. learn something new but no virtual surround right?

both.

what games in PS4 had surround sound ? Just curious to know.

i think most / all games on ps3 got surround sound.

I had many games of ps3. I only know 1 game had surround is only during intro

many triple A games title got dts digital surround like god of war 3, last of us, beyond two soul etc but I never tried those games on surround setup. Just 2.0 in my setup already got the 3D feels, the separation is superb!

I do have God of war 3 as well but is not really surround. Is that 5 speakers also had sound coming out.
