Mr lim quoted me, 1550+120 shipping. I heard u guys getting around 1.3 to 1.4k,mind to share?

but 475 also got others features, based on purity concept of yamaha, i think i will prefer 475 so no need upgrade later on. any email/phone contact of desa kepong? or all desa will price the same?

after checked out at Desa Home Theater yesterday, Yamaha RX-475 quoted at RM1,350. placed booking as stock was not available
The sales guy recommended Whafedale MS-100, which is in the same range as Boston Acoustics Soundware XS5.1 (I think so). not much review to be found on Whafedale but some did say that it gives a rather "complete" experience as compared to Soundware. These 2 are priced exactly the same and I'm now seriously considering Whafedale. if anyone here has feedback on this, please share! cheers

No la,i think ngto selling rxv475 only

If u are at Sunway Pyramid, pls look for Yus, Harvey Norman staff, very knowledgable about Yamaha. He attend my question at Sunway last week n tested/demonstrated V575. Very friendly guy. He told me V575 package is much worth it than V475, better feature. Price YHT475/SPK150B is RM2199 n YHT575/SPK160RW is RM3100 and the black color speaker is also available instead of Rosewood. Both package is only 5 speakers n no sub woofer. If u r not into 7.2 channel, maybe V475 is much cheaper. Only thing is that dunno whether they sell V475 with SPK160 instead of SPK150. SPK160 sound better n can handle higher watt. Maybe can check with them on this package availability.

Please update/share ur visit at Sunway Fair as I am out of town this weekend. Check any further discount or free goodies. Thks

Most of the cheaper AVRs does not really put out power as said. Like you are only getting true 100W for the 2 front speakers while others are lesser.
Always check out the power consumption at the back.
This applies to most of the brands in the market.
Also, need to factor in surface area of the room, what we listen during demo in showroom won't be the same as we listen in our home. Like last time when I was using Pioneer's VSX-816, the sound are clearer in the kitchen than in the living hall. Change to Marantz now and clear in living hall.

Bro, your source is original Blu-Ray or ripped movies? I can't really say for sure, as i don't have a lot of DTS-MA source...only have 1 DD TrueHD, which is very good compared to normal DTS. Most of my source DTS only...

for those receiver that cannot bit stream dts master, better change the player output become multi channel linear pcm.

still a lossless codec instead of lossy one

Is it true that we have to set the avr to the lowest ohm when u have mix ohm spk. Example front spk.8ohm n surround 6ohm we have to set to 6ohm for output.

Sorry I can't find the upgrade firmware in the setup. Where is the setup?

Thanks. I have misplace the manual. 

Anyway, I DL the manual from net. Than seems like nothing happen after shift over to "update-network."

Than I read back here taizi@ccf wrote firmware update ver1.50 ??

But my av firmware is 1.64 ? That is nothing to update right?

What is yours?
