I agree,

Unfortunately, SvS is now a-lot-more-expensive..
N I own one - albeit an old one..
So I am not just knocking it for fun..
If really wanna spend so much - Ill consider KK, Submersivs or JL too..

Maybe its becos our RM is weak..

Need some advice. My room is about 12 feet x 20 feet. My TV is about 10 feet away.
I am thinking of getting Yamaha RX-A3040. This will be used mainly for movies and TV shows using either BD player and media player.
What speakers are recommended for this set up? Bear in mind that my room is not big. I was thinking to get 5.1 speakers eventhough there are no space behind where I sit to watch TV. The rear speakers will probably placed beside the seating area.

Thanks in advance.

Mmmm,

3040..
Get as best as you can afford - expensive does not denote only 'loud' but musicality and head room..
If you can forgo surrounds/ctr initially , u can hock all your budget on decent LR..

Tats wat I would do..
D

Have you considered this?

X-LS Encore

You should also consider Monitor Audios Silver Series

Set a budget and then audition speakers until the cows come home...

Happy Hunting

I actually made a typo in my original post. Looking to get the A2040 and not the A3040.

Any one knows roughly how much are the Monitor Audio Silver series?

2K plus for a pair of bookshelf

4K plus for floorstanders

Maybe more now that our Malaysia Ringgit is in the crapper...

What about Dynaudio bookshelf ? DM 2/6 a pair now roughly how much?

Wow,

Since u got models in mind , maybe u can shop for used..

Its a lot cheaper n in most cases , pretty safe as spkrs last a good long while [ dont get de foam-type surr for main drivers - those disintegrate in our weather ]
I have 3 sets of used spkrs [ a Digm n 2 Tannoys ] tat I bought [ some, more than 5 years wif me now ].. so , l am partial to used ..

D

I believe around RM 3.3K...

If you want pm me and I can recommend my friend's shop to you.

Yamaha and dynamic, is it good match?

Dynamic or Dynaudio?

Hahahah....auto correction. Is dynaudio

I have tried, not bad, and the issue with Dynaudio is, as Tim Allen would say, MORE POWER!!!

Then 3040 will be a better choice

or get the Flagship Magnet Power amp!!!

Need some help on connecting macbook air to a2030. My avr is connect to 65st60 with HDMI. I tried to connect from macbook air with the thunderbolt cable to hdmi on a2030. There is no display on the TV. If connect directly to another sharp LED TV direct had display

Anyone know where I can audition Monitor Audio in KL/PJ?

Try the Dali Zensor or Ikons

Ribbon tweeters rocks .
