Wah like this don't know.
But in terms of power I think SC-LX90 is more powerful since Z-11 amplification concept is different.
If im not wrong their power amplification for surround is lower then the power for front speaker all this.
But sound quality,no idea.
Should go to hiway laser ss2 to auditioned SC-LX90 smile.gif
But bro,what do you think between SC-LX90 and Z-11?

Yeah lo.
Im happy if I can own a seperate amp rclxms.gif
Example:NAD T175 & NAD 975 or NAD M15 HD & M25 or SC-LX90 and Denon the combo also rclxms.gif
very expensive. sweat.gif
Im happy if can manage to own a Pioneer SC-LX82 already.
Then slowly upgrade rclxm9.gif
And bro, you auditioned the SC-LX82 before?

At 1st I was aiming for the Z-7.
But I auditioned before their amplifier.
I think is the 3900 or 1900.
Their sound quite bright.
And last year I auditioned before the SC-LX81 at hiway laser also.
Their sound was very deep and great.
But I have not made my decision that time since economy is going down.
Until then the SC-LX82 annouced liao.
And after some time of hard saving money,I beh tahan liao.
Wanted to get LX-82.
But must try out the LX-81 see whether got much difference or not. nod.gif

I don't find my ex-Yamaha quite bright. The dynamics are definitely there.

May I know what speakers are being hooked up to Yamaha and also the SC-LX81? The reason being that speakers choice would greatly affect the overall SQ.

Having said that LX-82 is in different league unless you take Z-7 to compare wt it. I have not get the chance to audition the Z-7. However, LX-82 is very good. No pun intended to others. I do not like Pioneer due to its harshness and its HF particularly the VSX models. The LX series did change my perception.

But, if you are aiming for LX-82, please do justice to this gem. Buy equally good loudspeakers to match it. IMHO, abt RM15k or more for 5 speakers setup (excluding sub) is the way to go smile.gif

If im not wrong,they are using the B&W 700 series speaker.
The sound are very good and not bright at all.
But since you are quite experience in amplifier,which amp better?
In between the SC-LX82 and Z-7.
But recently What Hifi awards 2009 the LX-82 *sapu* the award while the Z-7 never *sapu* any award also. hmm.gif

WHF sld only be treated as light reading and don't take its awards too seriously, if you get what I mean. Take it as a pinch of salt.

There are tonnes of very good speakers particularly from the North America that did not make it into its mag.

Now, I know why it is not bright. B&W has a warm characteristic. Btw, LX-82 aint going to make the best out of 700  by itself. To truly appreciate B&W 700 series, you need beefy power amp.

How abt the Yamaha? What speakers are being hooked up?

Which amp is better? It's a personal preference. Some ppl like dynamics (which tends to sound a bit bright) while some prefer warm (some ppl termed it as lazy). It's your call.For the record, I am not experienced in amplifier / avr. Still learning since there are loads of new model wt new tech flooding our mart  sweat.gif
It would be pure marketing and salesman's technique if I recommend a particular brand w/o knowing your preference and setup. Mind to share?

Ohh..okay..
Mean to say that B&W consume alot of power also.
But for me,B&W maybe more on music.
Especially their 800 big fat speaker drool.gif

Actually I was aiming for the PSB Synchrony One since their bass is awesome thumbup.gif
But the price is AWESOME too.
Thats why I hunt for subwoofer rather than speaker 1st.
But year end already.
Always work until 99 sad.gif
So no time to auditioned any set up by hifi shops.
The last time I went to Hifi shop to auditioned speaker is around 4months ago at A&L sungai wang.
When the Dali arrived.
The beauty piano finish Helicon 400mk2 drool.gif
But too bad Dali are meant for music more.
Anyway do you listen to PSB Synchrony before?

Im a little *sakai* here.
Pai seh.
The last time I auditioned was at Amcorp mall quite long time ago when one of the customer wanted to buy it.
When they use those power amp to amplify it,the sound and especially the bass is shocking.gif KENG!
The woofer already cantik gile....
But saving hard to buy.
Maybe before next year Chinese new year.
And i just own a old sony HTIB and a 46inches V400 only.

Waiting for my new house renovation only.
Then I calculate my budget only I made decision.
But anyway thanks alot for your advice smile.gif
