QUOTE(ben3003 @ Nov 26 2013, 07:01 PM) 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? Correction: This is not a malaysia product. It is a award winning (noted it is not "What Hifi" Award but Goodsound!) USA speaker. This x-ls Encore is one of the most sought bookshelf speaker in USA due to its performance/price. Google it and you will see what I meant. They are many happy owners in Kuching, Bintulu and even in Lawas, and of course a number from all over west Malaysia. You can go to CARI for read some reviews from the owner. If you want to do 5.1, we will have its matching center soon and subwoofer in the coming year.

And it is "huge" on table. You can definitely use it as a desktop speaker (as I saw some of them did) if you can place it behind your desk. It will def sound awesome.

QUOTE(sonerin @ Nov 25 2013, 11:33 PM) Sometimes when you change source the audio will be loss. Sometimes when you skip scenes on a movie the audio will be loss. I have spoken to Keith from Emotiva. He told me UMC-200 is faster than UMC-1 in hdmi handshaking and hence the the drop out is minimal (not 0%). I have replaced my UMC-1 hdmi board recently, and I have noticed that the drop out is a shortwhile than my old board. Definitely, will wait til umc-200 goes down to a good price buy before I commit one. But it is a really good processor on the market right now.

QUOTE(sonerin @ Nov 26 2013, 11:36 PM) I do have God of war 3 as well but is not really surround. Is that 5 speakers also had sound coming out. i played many games got dolby 5.1 and dts too  it is written behind the disc cover QUOTE(ben3003 @ Nov 27 2013, 07:19 AM) ok bro, but u say this speaker not intended for desktop use, why? i oledi have UD100 DAC.. actually u need AV receiver with hdmi lossless audio decoding to enjoy real ps4, becos optical output cannot do dolby trueHD or DTS MA btw, u wont be much using that ud100 anymore after having AVR which function as external DAC as well.

QUOTE(sonerin @ Nov 27 2013, 09:34 AM) Was hoping to get the XMC-1 Yeah, Xmc-1 is triple the price, but does it deliver 3x performance? Maybe because of this they still keep it under development in hope to offer something for its price. To me, umc-200 with 5 monoblock will be my goal for this route. ThenI will go higher with speaker, hopefully open baffle. This post has been edited by fx20: Nov 27 2013, 09:44 AM

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Nov 26 2013, 06:01 PM) 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.. Where's your hometown? Pioneer Andrew Jones series actually not bad for the movie.. Sen Heng or SenQ selling for RM299 for last year HTP-AJ3222. This year HTP-AJ3223 some RM100 more expensive if I remember correctly

Just have to ensure your receiver is powered up and your PS3 is connected to it via HDMI. Go through the audio setup process again, and the surround options for your PS3 games will be made visible.

Alternatively if you're looking for smaller speaker, then might consider Pioneer VSX-523 with the Infinity speakers. http://www.pioneer.my/ProductDetail/defaul...atId=64,205,211The older model was selling at RM2699 at SenQ or Sen Heng but not sure the new model with the VSX-523 AVR.

The new and old model got difference? or only the receiver difference? How do u rate this aj series compare to infinity? But this senq i ask them can order or not they owes tell me cannot one, they owes say kl allocate wat they sell what, wtf.. u from miri also?

Of course I will take AJ series if I have the space but AJ series at RM2999 was package with the most basic Pioneer AVR VSX-322 or 323 I'm from Bintulu but Sen Heng here told me they can order watever they don't display and usually it's quite fast if others branch in Sabah/Sarawak have stock. Else they have to wait for the stock shipment from KL. I actually can place my order with other dealer out there with roughly 20% off the Pioneer RRP.. So, some model will have better pricing compared to SenQ or Sen Heng but not the AJ3222 series This post has been edited by willkso: Nov 27 2013, 07:28 PM
