hi sifus...

somehow, wall mount speakers not really very popular here...but i hv bit of constraint that prevents me from going for floorstanding front speakers which i really would like to have...

i've earlier settled for Klipsch Quintet SL, but i just learnt that its no longer available, stop production...

i've also considered Paradigm's Cinema range, but no idea how much they cost altho internet pricing suggest its LCR (cinema 220) should be less than RM1k each.

i've tried asking Asia Sound Equipment for pricing indication, but no response from them at all...went to their outlet in Amp Corp Mall last week, at 12noon++ still not open shop yet...

looked at Monitor Audio Radius range of LCR, but way off my little budget...

also looked at Definitive Tech's Mythos range...also a little pricey, but biggest problem is need to get from Singapore...dunno who the local distrbutor is...

so, can anyone advise me what are the remaining options i have? my budget, if stretched kaw kaw, for a 5.1ch can be up to RM6k including sub...

most important, it needs to be wall mounted, and its rectangular shape (long & slim) to go with the flat panel tv for aesthetic reason...

please help...have exhausted all ideas i have & had...

I'm trying to order ceiling mounted from monoprice..They have wall mounted too...

Saw jamo 660CS at pg $680 , Boston Acoustic $900 per pair,
and pro-el also around that price.

1) DALI Lector
Saw this at the KLIAV Show...look small, quite well built, tho never heard the sound quality...but pricey at about RM1650 each before discount..at this price, would definitely go for the monitor audio radius HD range..

2) PSB Alpha
no offence to PSB's owner, but i never seem to like the PSB built/finishing...

3) NHT
never heard of this brand before...dun look too bad actually altho comments on the internet not ultra encouraging...where can i view this in KL?

thanks for the suggestion!!! keep them coming




woww...order from US?? price must be very expensive??

$=RM?

If fixed at the ceiling, ceiling tak goyang meh~~~~~?

This post has been edited by cmw_kwl_6923: Oct 1 2009, 08:58 PM

Our tikus xxl size.

Bro... PSB not nice meh? PSB Imagine very sexy and sleek ma

that is true~~~!

xtra tastee too

You suggest him to wall mount PSB Imagine kar?

His budget only 6k including sub leh. Buy PSB Imagine bookshelf also 1/2 gone kau liao.

yealor...ultra limited budget..not like u mar...sub also RM6k liao... 'char'

plus, am looking for wall mount speakers...no place for floor standing in my tiny apartment...

but now found-ed liao...hehehe

I use these as my surround

looks like android from star wars

are they from Morel? small yet powderful...

Sounds like you're talking about The Speaker Company is it? Wah, so now you've become a rep for them?

he not tryin to become a rep...he was being ultra nice...intro me to wall mount type speakers which i'm looking for...he so nice he let a couple of us totally strangers from LYN into his house & test..i even walked in in between his dinner with da wifey...damn pai seh....

he also bot the speakers from US....thru a frend...

I see. So what was your impression after listening to the speakers?

that's the funny thing...after getting into the car on the way back...my wife asked me, Why there's no sound from the surround??

about a week later, sychong sms me & said he forgot to turn on the 5.1 ch so we were listening only to 3.1ch...

but the sound is very crisp...i quite like it...esp the piano black high gloss finish...altho...the minus point for me was the metal grile....actually prefer fabric grile type...

anddd...sychong still havent got the wifey permission to get a blu ray player as yet...so, didnt get to test HD audio...forumer geforce came equipped with loads of Blu ray disc

now i'm poisoning him getting a POHD & BD player

bro, can show pics of what these look like?

google the speaker company TSAT 2400

thks for clarification....

still new in this HT. hehe... getting bump here n there.

not the rep lah, the price i stated is my good friend (U schoolmate, US citizen by now) give to me which is including the everything ship, tax and etc.
daryl is the one found the speaker company and he calculated the shipping, tax and exchange rate, he think it's quite reasonable.


sorry for geforce. no bluray player for him....

haha.... BD player will be in first priority ....

thks

i also went to sychong's house(hehe.. nicely renovated) to listen to the sound from the speakers.

first, the outlook is superb like daryl said. black piano glossy with small size but heavy as it's wood and it's not plastic.
it's nicely fit in the living hall and you wife wouldn't make any complain abt it.
i am kind of love the metal grill. it's just magnetically stick to the speakers but v tight. fabric is easy to collect dust and this metal grill can easily take it out to wash and put it back.

regarding the sound, i rated it 4.5 out of 5. of course, you need to have a woofer.
it's crisp and powerfull. it's very clear even the AV turn to v high volumn. haha... i can hear the surround now(while daryl couple not able). he did switch on the 5.1 channel on the DVD player with his 7 speakers(all the statelite models from the speaker company). very clean sound from all the models.

it's not like the ordinary speakers like those selling at seng heng 5.1 LG or Philips home theater set. it's really in the classification of HIFI category.

hehe.. i am more sound like the spk company rep oredi.
of course not lah as i am a buyer and i think i will ask sychong's friend to ship some back for me.

i found out the spk company have sales now. 20% off and i waiting sychong's friend give me the latest price.
i also found tat this spk company is back by D&M Holdings (The company also owns audio titans Denon, Marantz, Snell, McIntosh, and Boston Acoustics) in their web sites and it's not really no brand as sychong said. Just wonder y they don't ship internationally.

thks

PM you the latest price.
if you want, pls be quick as the 20% off normally run for only 1 week, according to my friend.
thks

No problem, bro. Thanks for your hospitality on that day. Sorry have to leave in rush due to the next appointment with other forumers.

Once you have your BD player ready, will visit you with the BD movies?

hehe... just got my panasonic BD60 yesterday. still figure out y i play The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian(has 7.1 sound) and my marants can't detect SBL and SBR channel even though i already configure the SBL and SBR spk level to high.

no sign of TRUE HD or DTS HD ..
ai..
now i know setup the HT is not easy. many things to learn fr all these sifu at lowyat.


by the way, you ar wellcome to drop by again n i assure you the sound fr the spks will be a lot better now. don't forget to bring all ur BD.

thks

waarrr congrats congrats your new BD player so the wifey finally give lampu hijau huh??

i'm no expert, but from my understanding, i think you need to set those speakers as 'small' instead of large or big. and its applicable for all your speakers including the ones on the front.

try set it to small & see if it works...otherwise need ask the elite group here...

haha...
based on ur gift recommendation. now she treat me like indian n spk indian to me as she really not only buy the BD player as well as the "The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian" and the one she like "King Kong" as my depavali gift. hopefully next will be the POHD
she terbalik the gift sequence.

i think she curi curi tengkok my lowyat web mail.

thks for the help. haha..
