Dear Sifus,

May I know when is KL AV Fest 2009? No?

I'm thinking of buying an AV system (budget < Rm2k) with speaker (budget < Rm2k), should I wait or buy from those shop (eg. Desa etc..)?

Thanks.

24-27 Jul 2009 ?

Thanks Weelar,

Do you think it is cheaper to buy during the AV Fest 2009 or from the shops?

Erm... nvr been there before... should got some special offer...

will visit there this time...

AV Fest?
If you are willing to buy something outdate a bit... yes... CHEAP.
If you wanna get stock overrun things... YES. Very cheap.

Other than that, do your homework first by going to shops and scout around for what you really need and what you wanna buy. Get the best price and wait until AV Fest. On the day, go back to those shop and bargain again.

What is cheap there? Audiophile CDs are cheap if you know which one you need.

If you're buying cash, you can haggle more at the fest and easier for you to compare price between traders. But if you wanna use 0% interest or card, it wont differ that much.

I got the demo set mission m31i last year only rm 399, condition like new ~~~! from cmy.

If you want to get the cheaper stuff you must pay a visit on first day~~~!

Timothyy,

Thanks, also to Aiz1j & cmw_kwl_6923.

You mean I survey the prices at those shops, eg. 1 week before AV Fest and then on the 1st day of AV Fest, I go back to the same shops and ask for discount? Or go to compare the price at AV Fest, then go back to the shops?

Stock overrun? even in AV industry? hmm....hope it worth waiting!

Anyway, I guess I have to wait till July ! (long way to go, about 100 days to go, to get my AV setup! )


Thanks again.

normally the stuff from the av fest is more cheaper, you need to do some home work to survey excatly which model you are really intrested
to setup your av system.

No choice, you have to wait until july, safe your pocket money mah~~~! Everybody at the moment also facing the sensitive isuue.

if u cant wait...
go to desa...i dunno whatst he full name like...
they sell things cheap...very cheap...even compared to AV fest time...
to them everyday is AV fest...

but first...u must know the average market price la...else u can kene con oso...

i too might be going there to buy AV system for my new condo.
Did a bit of survey here and there.

Initial setup maybe will be like below
TV Model : Samsung 42" series 8
BD player: PS3
AV receiver : Marantz SR5300
Speakers : KEF KHT2005

By the way, do i still need a DVD player since have PS3? Sorry nob question.

Better get a dedicate dvd player although PS3 can play dvd but the lens is known to spoil easily. So no point playing dvd in PS3 as DVD player is so cheap now.

Thanks. i think i will just do that.

By the way, saw your setup. Using Mission speakers.
May i know where and how much you got for the center and surround speakers?
Actually currently i have Mission 732 speaker which i bought long time ago when study in UK.
Maybe will combine both audio system and home theater in one.
therefore i might setup my front using the 732 and add sub, center and rear.
hence now intrigue to know more abuot your setup.

Mission Center M3C2i is selling for RM390 from CMY Penang. Surround I got it as packaged with the center which is total RM950. So if 50:50 split will be around RM425. The surround I bought it in Style Photo Penang.

hahaha, AV fest is a sure pilgrimage for me every year. like the muslims going to mekkah, i go to AV fest every year to cleanse my ears, hehehe. pay 10 bucks to go in and also parking cannot remember the price,

well for those who wanna get good bargain, yes you would get some nice bargain especially in package items, usually every year desa has a hall that clears plenty of old stock items, but who cares, as long it is the item you want it is great, also watch out with some distributors throwing great prices for old speakers , usually got some ppl will do that, u will like blow your eyes away, but do home work as everyone says, then collect the money, then wait, if you cannot get what you want you also need to find replacement models, so you dont disappoint going there,

AV fest Guarantee better than PC fair !!!!!!!

Ah!.. the annual hifi brothel!..Its the only hifi show in Malaysia.

Been like 2 years never been to AV Fair..MUST GO this year !!

Hope that this year can get to listen to the dCs Scarlatti.
Last year it was only put on show tables.

dont put hopes too high, cause some year they are good, like the last 2 years, you got a lot of nice stuff to listen, last year was plain, nothing much.

hopefully this year ok loh, but looks like economy downturn so probably not so many ppl

with the economy slump, i guess they will probably try to clear as much as possible in the fair.
I doubt that newer models will be their front liners. They might be setting up overstocked systems, and selling them cheaper. But who knows.. I hope I'm wrong.

Can get cheaper & rare CDs/BDs.

Looking forward for the CDs.

nowadays the cd's are also not very cheap like a long time ago, well those days the organizers themselves will give you one free cd, of course old songs, some were good, i had a led zepplin tribute given to me for one of the hifi shows that were still in legend hotel, a long time ago, there was a chinese singer as well, the sound production was great, i had deana yusof album as well too, if you know who she is, well those were the times of AV shows, known as MAS, Malaysia Audio Show, back to history again, i was still young, dont have the money, knew little about audio, was asking stupid questions, well those were the days, i had a chance to meet up with Kondo San from Audio note Japan, before he passed away, sometime ago, it was fantastic, i didnt know what he was talking all about his design, but it was informative, he was talking about his Ruthy 4 speaker,

i had also met with Phil Jones of AAD those days when he first brought his AAD brand into malaysia, those speaker design were really ugly, it didnt sound pleasant that time, but thiking back i had met with some famous ppl in the years of audio shows. they were great,,

Yes, those were the days. I have been to almost all the AV Shows for more than 13 years. Back then, there are 2 shows. One is by Star and the other is NST.

As years passed by, the show is getting more boring. Only thing is that it is convenient to do a comparison since all under a single roof.

anyone knows if they will be selling headphones?

Sld have. Normally near the exit point. Those small open booths.

you can find Davis selling sennheiser there. also his AE aego speaker, tong lee also last time was fighting price with him, anyway, i think they should have, but why dont u buy online in lowyat, prices are so much cheaper,

you will only get cheap or good price if they are doing "pasar malam" style

some new stuff that u will see in the KLIAV 09

How much is the entrance fees? any goodies??

This post has been edited by htkaki: Jul 16 2009, 02:39 PM

Can bring our own Evian water in?

got the config below from a member here

Onkyo TX-SR606
Fronts: Mission M32i x 2
Centre: Mission M3C2i
Surround: Mission M31i x 2
Subwoofer: Velodyne Impact 10

roughly how much does each item cost?

plan to get them during the fair

get them from fair meh? sure expensive - rental expensive so stuf also expensive

RM10, no goodies, you'll feel bad about yourself later when paying RM10 to admire and test equipment that you cannot afford to buy....i might end up jumping from jw mariott later.

thats true...

i've been there once last year, quite ok la for audition the high-end-can-buy-a-bungalow setup
...buy not good to buy, coz i went to A&L room there and ask for the best price for PSB image t55, they quoted me RM300 higher than A&L amcorp...

RM10 + free flow of Paipsi cola Will definitely make a trip there next week end.

No more free magazine? I remember last year got.
By the way, last year couldn't buy any nice audiophile cd also. Too limited and not really cheap.

Last year, after paying for RM10 admission ticket, I won a Philips earphone for being the 100th (or 50th, can't remember) visitor. That earphone's value was RM30 if not mistaken.

cmy maybe have your requirement for mission, cause last year i got offer from them Mission M31i
with Rm399, but display set ~~~! condition is ok, no dented and scratch )

H1N1 baby

good reason to stay away.

Isn't that AV show got special offer & price? how come they sell much expensive?

Been to PC fair?

yup, have been to PC Fair a coupe of times...why?

Wear a mask and rubber gloves

Got so many people attend AV show, maybe they try to catch those who are not so well informed about the price?

maybe to cover the cost for the expensive show rooms...

yup, im glad that i already asked the prices outside before heading there...

btw, H1N1 is one of the reason im not going this year's fair...

you can wear mask ma

Aiyah. A/V show is the place to clear old and demo stocks mah! Every year same old story.

Marriot Jarkata just got bombed...

don't go near anyone with a suitcase or backpack and remember to wear a mask and don't shake hands.

SR6003 is not an old stock. It is current model. Unless, there is a replacement model.

Since I have nothing to buy and only saying 'hello' to some pals there, I will go on Friday. At least not so many ppl.

Added on July 19, 2009, 11:00 amgood question, but how will i know who is htkaki and how does he look like ? hehehe.

Added on July 19, 2009, 11:09 ambtw. this year, what are you guys looking forward to ? i, m just wondering a sweedish statement company, what do they sell and represent ? someone new. there is meridian also, and hopefully can get to listen something cool, also i wanna catch a listen on the entry level avalon acoustic entry level speaker. hopefully cmy will bring something memorable this year. like the naim dbl. or maybe we get to listen to a 6 million dollar setup? but i think a nice highlight would be perfect hifi toy speaker range. that should be a bomb. and. the toy would sell like no other sale done. the only thing they need to do, place the speaker in a nice room and give a nice promo like 3.0k cash for 3 days only! introduction offer, also tong lee would be the same. consonance, and conrad johnson. and VR speakers. looking forward to harbeth, nice cool speakers. and ,most importantly paradigm speakers, this one is a must listen to me. what else. hmmm loads of list. well lets hope for the best as everyone says this year wont be a good one. but i think it should satisfy most of us.

Can't take leave coz I have important meeting with customer on Friday so that's why I so b****y

R1? If R3 murah also useless.

Then meeting your important customer at the J.W. Marriott Hotel lo entertain or even feed him with the deadly HT poison

How do we find out whether it's Region 1 or Region 3 ?

This post has been edited by WereWolf84: Jul 20 2009, 08:10 AM

Swedish Statement, IIRC, sells Bladelius products.
I seriously doubt that there is any chance of getting the Toy at 3.0k.

Hi,

Just wanna ask during this AV fair, do they accept credit card or must i use cash?

Also, if i make a purchase (for example speakers), do i collect it on the spot or i collect it from their shop?

Thakns

Credit card accepted.
Last year i bought cd player i took it on the spot. Transportation can be arranged if needed depends on the retailer.

Hope there's new stuff to see ... HD stuff

hd stuff probably led TV and then new projectors, and probably new AVR amps. there really is nothing much in HD. just the visual, and some sound difference, but if you talk about stereo, then there is a lot of difference from company to company.

Sell original dvd only ?

Got sell original blu ray disc movie ?

Last year there was a B2G1 offer for blu-ray movies, not sure from which company. But right now Speedy is having a B2G1 offer as well, if just looking for BDs might just as well go to Speedy instead (no need to pay entrance fee).

I'll be there on the Sat. See you guys there. This is my first visit to the KLAV show and looking forward to 'see and hear' the kengchau setup.

Looking for cheap and good HDMI (ver 1.3a) cable for my Xtreamer. Hope can get a good bargain.

not putting high hope on it...

why~~~~?

Cheap things don't come good and good things don't come cheap......how?

I want to see all the NAS and HD audio equipment on demos if possible.

cos every thing he want (within his spending budget) he already bought.. dem elite..

looks like im able to go friday as well. my customer also wanna go so after meeting we shoot straight there. if i can't find what im looking there im going to kajang saturday

Mind to share what are you looking for? Why going to Kajang? Kajang got any good AV shop?

go kajang eat satay
