very nice

Taukeh mpyw, aint that expensive as you thought, right?

It is within your 'affordable' range

Sorry to tumpang this tread

Currently I have an entry Hi5 setup, CD5001 + PM4001 + 1 pair of MS902i.

Now, plan to invest on HT. How do I maintain 1 pair of speaker with AVR(target on SR6003) + Int Amp(PM4001)? I have not listened SR6003 with MS902i but based on Marantz salesman, PM4001 should give better SQ in stereo.

Can I tap the pre-out of AVR (front L/R) to the Int Amp to drive front speakers? The Centre & Surround will drive directly by AVR.

CDP --> Int Amp --> Front L/R
AVR(pre out) --> Int Amp(pre in) --> Front L/R
AVR --> Centre/Surround/Sub.

just got qoute from my friend,

XPA 3 - RM 3k
XPA 5 - RM3.8k

anyone interested?

bro this is the risk u have to take when u buy ID products especially for Mlaysians.. any problem with the product its gonna be a hasstle sending back,,, expecially for amps when they got problem we cant diy to fix it... i doubt emotive will cover the shopping cost to send back for repair but u can ask 1st b4 your purchase.. the case u read might be an isolated case.. all products might have defects.. even the popular svs had problems for a few singaporeans.. 1 guy had repeated same problem until the 3 unit of replacement were sent... just that it is easier to settle coz just send the parts n they cover the shipping cost... for the price emotiva is said to be a steal for the performance they provide and if u r not using 4 ohm drivers i think its not so worrying unless u find a few threads abt it having problems with 8ohm speakers... of course it is easy for me to say all these coz i am not forking money out to buy it

Jchong already answered tq

the XPA 3.8k incl tax?

yes.. i think if the price x2 we still cant find any amp with the same spec locally right...

I had check with Emotiva. If your unit is having problem and you can get the technician to localize the problem, they can send the parts and schematic to you to do the replacement. With their design with dedicated card for each channel, shouldn't be too difficult for a electrical technician to do component swapping.

i checked with him, and he mentioned that the 3.8k is including tax and all, from US to PG.

Interesting..... for RM3.8K. Kiam, sapu this for your RF-83 setup?

It's good they can do that. Saves a lot on shipping costs, but I think user still has to pay for shipping of the parts right?

just order XPA-5 for one of our forummers here
my friend agreed for COD but in Penang only, need to
pay 20% of total cost first when order...

how about if for kuching? any chances?
