Htkaki, can i know the models you would personally recommend for Pioneer AVR.

Also speaker and sub that can sum up to 3k.
*
AVR+speaker+sub for 3K? Tough...better look for HTIB...

For people getting into this hobby, the Dali Concept 2 (bookshelf) + Dali Concept Centre can be had for less than 2K.

U still need to get a AVR + a sub....

Well, thanks for the info, Daren. Scouting for cheap AVR with HD audio support now...  rclxm9.gif

Check out Marantz NR1501....I think it is ~ RM2300. Also Yammy 665 shd be slightly less.

honestly... i think the audible differences are still negligible... perhaps the ceiling needs to be treated also...

but the "clap" trick (where one would just clap the hands and listen for any echos) is improved

of course the clap trick doesn't cover an entire freq range...

yonggoh,

Its important to use a good stereo CD to evaluate the differences. The differences for a movie are difficult to discern. The lfe improvement shd ur room have a problem is easy to make out, the others are more difficult and really more apparent when u do not have all 7 speakers blasting...

Of course, if ur room was already good to begin with, the differences are negligible.

Yes. A dedicated cdp is a must if you wanna listen pure music. Think hifi bugs are hitting me  tongue.gif . Even it spreads to some sifus like anfiledude, htkaki already......haha. Ah Tan has said along the road of AV there will come a time we go for hifi for the purest sound.

Actually, I was in to hi-fi for the past 20years...I only recently came into HT about 3 years ago. For me, music is priority...I have run thru my series of amps and speakers from university days, from my very 1st amp the Luxman (that my friend still uses till this very day - almost 25 yrs old (hand me down.)

Knowing taukeh mpyw for years, he will surely upgrade to a proper FHD pj this year. 'Resistance is futile' to say the least tongue.gif

Takeuh mpyw, I know you will definitely ask me back. I am still on the fence but it would probably be JVC pj. As for now, I am still looking for my 'missing link'
*
I would recommend the JVC as well if ur room is light controlled. Plus if possible a good screen. If the room is not light controlled, then a DLP is better (especially a bright one)....

mpyw,
What screen are u using?

Nice setup.

Some feedback. If u do use the purple lights during movie viewing, it will mask ur perception of colour and whites. So if u want to use a bias light, I would use a neutral D65 light.
