How much a price RX-V465 u can get? I see this model at Harvey Norman with price around RM24XX. Its spec is quiet good for me to get DD 5.1 sound from HTPC & Byond.
BTW I still searching good AVR below RM2k.
*
RM24XX at Harvey Norman?
Receiver alone or with speakers? I saw it at Harvey Norman for RM3k+ with speakers.. think at RM900 for sub..

On a side note, I was considering gettin this as its the basic unit and most affordable one that meets my requirements. Anyone here using this? Compared this with the Pioneer 819, how does it fare?

listening to it is one thing... one's ear (and eyes) needs to be in-tune with it... unless you're born with it.

i.e.
If a person is listening to HD audio constantly, he/she should be able to tell the difference right away, compared to someone who has not listen or probably listened once or twice because they wouldn't know what to look or hear for. It's not like we can remember and memorise every sound and frequency in a song, right?

and of course, there's the sound equipment and I believe there's some tuning as well, right? besides the speakers...

I recently went to SenQ to hear the difference between a RM3K+ Full Pioneer system and a RM10k Onkyo system with Jamo speakers. Was there a difference? I thought that the RM10K Onkyo system sounded just slightly better. Then of course, he was playing some Kenny G CD (which was prolly bootleg) and the sytems were prolly just plugged in and left there, without proper tuning.

I'm currently waiting to test out the Yamaha 465 to see if how the sound goes. Problem is I want a system for multi-purpose - Movies (with a bit of music) while the other half only wants the system for Music. As I mention before, I thought that there are 2 different kind of system out there... one mainly configured and picked for Music where the sound is full and warm and there's those for Movies (wham bam!).

not really attractive in this age where HD audio is a must, especially when one is getting a AVR

I'm thinking of connecting the DVD component video to the receiver and then connect the receiver HDMI to the LCD tv HDMI input for video.

This is better... should get 5.1 sound with this setup.

QUOTE(nocar @ Jul 8 2010, 11:17 AM)
At the moment, I'm connecting the DVD component video output to the LCD tv and the DVD stereo audio output (Red-White) to the RXV465.

IINM, you get only Stereo if you do this

Check this out:

http://www.trustedreviews.com/home-cinema/...maha-RX-V467/p1

Yamaha RX-V467 AV Receiver. It's 3D ready as well.

Sold at Harvey Norman as a package together with Yamaha NS-P380 5.1 speakers.

I cancelled my earlier order of the YHT-S400 soundbar and got this instead as I found out the soundbar couldn't decode HD audio.  doh.gif

Anyone owners of the above AVR here?  smile.gif

RM2190 for the AVR and 5.1 speakers? (no sub right?)

Based on the posts below, I reckon should be a good deal!

I buy RX-V465 bundle with NS-P380 just for RM2400. So I think it price just around RM1000-1200

QUOTE(+Mie+ @ Aug 5 2010, 03:32 PM)
At the recent Yamaha sales in KJ, the RX-V465 were going at RM1592. That's after a 20% discount from RRP. I think most retail shops can match that easily. Nonetheless, as reported here, the model was a sold out at the sale.

Hey guys.. I just ordered the Yamaha NSP60 speaker (1 centre and 2 surround) and was looking around to see if they have a stand for the 2 surround but can't find any... do you guys know where I can get a stand for it?

You can try the famous ATS Rack shop in amcorp mall, but not cheap, if cheap, i think you can search in Jalan Pasar

Yammy 367 looks good.. should be sufficient as an entry level especially when it can support 3D as well! smile.gif
