define ur budget & get something u can afford comfortably.. unless $$ is not an issue

that's very true....unless upgrade bug bite u

Agreed on the speaker-amp matching. Practically though this is hard to achieve because not able to mix and match different speakers and amps to find the right combination. It's not like there is one shop with all the amp choices you want plus the speaker choices. Even if there was I wonder if they will entertain you so much to demo the various combinations.

Speaker > Room > Amp > Cables (and other assorted tweaks)

Yeap rthj,

its a Dvico 4000, use it to play DVI upconvert 1080i HDMI to Sony

Music -- FLAC, WAV& MP3
Movies-- iso files, BD rip (ts & Video) format, AVI, DIVX

seriously bought the Sony Hitb DAV-DZ870KW wrongly, does not support HDMI ......mistake and now searchnig for AV receiver



hmm....most probably, will wait for denon, pioneer and onkyo to launch their new series this coming AV fest, but....but still the Pioneer LX series TBA in sept/oct le....

YEP I agree on the Room part.

But shouldn't it be Room>Speakers>Amp>Tweaks. Got to get a room first right?
But I do believe in room, or it'll either be overwhelming or no feel LAH.

30/70 on AVR/Speaker is good way to go.

yes i do believe in room acoustics...

see the wood panel at back of my LCD TV in earlier post.

This tweak, really improve the sound a lot. resulting in

1- tighter bass
2- vocals really stand out
3- hear musical depth and distinctive placing and separation
4- overall sound acoustic improve tremendously

just for a mere RM350.00, and its no ordinary wood

U mean those 6 wooden tubes?

What la people....room always there la. Amp, speakers, cables are the one to buy

So it should be..... room(speaker>amp>cable)

Someone pls add room acoustic in the equation

room^2({speaker*amp}/{speaker*cable})^½ ??


note: it makes no sense whatsoever

yeap thats right......

Can you share what is special about those 6 wooden tubes? Are they specially made for acoustic purposes or they are used for other reasons but you adapted them for acoustic purposes.

1st of all i am not the one who manufacture or make it. i got it from an audioplile shop, and he hand made it.

believe me, if you terbalik (upside down) it the sound is different.,just don't know how he derive the technical "know-how" or principle....he seems to tell me that its for reflecting sound waves to a certain extend

i am just a layman but i sure can tell the differences is towards quality sonics....well it sure definitely improve the overall soundstage.

Added on June 10, 2009, 7:17 pmseriously i am a no good hifi audiophile listener,

also i know there are still a lot of sound room giving demo but the sound is out.

take the vocal for example, next time when you audition try to locate where the vocal is coming from (yea its definitely from the center) what i mean is the vocal height....


no need to close eyes and concentrate one, many sound room, have the vocal at a height of 2.5ft to 3ft(measurement from floor.)

this is just like the singer, be it he or she is just sitting on the floor and crooning a melody to you.

ideally, the singer should be standing, imagine the singers height, YES..... the singer's height, that's where the vocal should be coming out from

give it a try and you know what i mean
