There's no black color for S-MS800?

Any of you guys use HTP-RS7 set?

Between those 2 model, which one is the best in term of performance. What's the price for HTP-RS7?

Desa Home advertised recently for RM3599 or installment (12X299.92) for this:

Pioneer VSX-819H-K receiver
Pioneer S-MS800 speaker system
Pioneer S-RS3SW active subwoofer

dunno where can get better offer??

Harvey Norman price is without the sub RM2999,
any other hifi shop might sale cheaper?

doh.gif Aiyo, how any times got to say this. Read lah post #4.

Harvey Norman price

1. Whole set (WITH Sub-Woofer)- 5 yrs warranty = RM3,499/-.

2. Whole set (WITH Sub-Woofer -1 yr warranty = RM3,299/-.

If shop around other places maybe can negotiate cheaper.

If you think Desa HT RM3,599 is best offer then be the water Fish biggrin.gif

Just go to Desa HT and negotiate with them for RM3,000/-. If they can't offer you the price than just say someone in Penang bought for only RM2,900 with speaker stands and free HDMI cable. Walk away if they can't lower the price to your satisfaction. Can always go back another day if you change your mind smile.gif

I don't recommend you to get the 519 since you are newbie. It doesn't have MCACC (Auto Calibration) and HD audio decoders. The MCACC found in the 819 will help you to calibrate the sound to suit your room acoustics.

One guy here bought the 519 and is having a hard time getting the Sub-woofer into the correct phase and balance with the speakers. This particular Pioneer sub-woofer is quite difficult to match with the current MS-800 speakers since it actually came from the Todoroki set.

Anyway please go to Harvey Norman and listen to the set which is on display. Ask them to play some music and movies on the set before you decide anything. Most important is you must like the sound.

Hi guys,
I have the set with 818. Loving it! The MCACC calibration really help out with the surround and the overall of the sound quality.

However, i am thinking of upgrading to yamaha amp and am thinking of selling of my 818. Bought it in April.

Please pm me if you are interested.

In and out on the sub and pre out on the AVR. Apparently it sounds better...?
Sales guy from pioneer told me, something about recycling the signal? i don't get it. But it works.. so....

hi all, I'm newbie in HT. I came across this 'Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (D.C.A.C)' from Sony HT, may I know is this the same thing as MCACC by Pioneer?

Everyone have their own method of calibrating. Pioneer call theirs MCACC, Sony D.C.A.C , yamaha YPAO etc.

Yes, there was someone clearing stocks of 818 for a Dealer (new unopened sets according to him) for RM699/- but without warranty from Pioneer. Only few mths of warranty from dealer. Quite a number of people of people bought from him.

That's why I asked, no need to raise your voice. Even if I am interested in your set before , I am no longer now biggrin.gif
