Hi,

Was wondering whether anyone can advise me if i get the RX-V465, can i still use my Pioneer HTZ-333DVD HTS speakers (rated at 100W each)? How do one decide on whether the speakers can be re-used? I don't want to buy too high end of receiver and bomb the speakers nor do I want to buy too low end and get too soft a sound.

Anyone can advise?
*
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?
*
Its come with 5 speaker and 1 subwoofer. Thats a promotion price is until Chinese New Year.
Maybe u can buy first and give a review to me. Hehehe laugh.gif

BTW, are u guyz know why most mkvs not mux with DTS-HD/DTSTrueHD?

RM26xx seems a bit high isn't it. I remember inquring at Harvey Norman for the 665 and managed to bring the price down to about that much.
*
665 = RM26XX? warghh.. sound good.

Interesting..... esp on audio part.

For visual, probably minimal diff if the mkv is really on 1080p mat. May I know what is the audio setup? avr and speakers. mkv is normally on DD/ DTS while BD is lossless audio. There should be a difference.
*
Yes mkv normally came with DD/DTS5.1. But today mkv already support TrueHD. But a size is to big compare to normal one.

Below is info about TrueHD audio that u can download seperately and mux again with mkv.
I get this from file sharing web. U can see how bigger its size. biggrin.gif

Audio
Complete name : Transformers TrueHD Track English
Format : AC-3
Format/Info : Audio Coding 3
Format profile : TrueHD
Bit rate mode : Variable
Channel(s) : 6 channels
Channel positions : Front: L C R, Surround: L R, LFE
Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz

File size : 4.31 GiB

if i read correctly.... what he meant is he downloaded "just the AUDIO" true-HD track of 4.1gb separately then REMUX together with the mkv video
*
Yes u correct. That file is audio only. Video size is 12.3GB (1080p) + TrueHD audio 4.31GB = almost 20GB. sweat.gif (Based on Transfomers 2 movie)
Almost size of normal BD already. Hehehe tongue.gif

BTW, u only can play trueHD audio with PowerDVD or Arcsoft Total Media Theater right now. Haali still got a problem.

btw... did you try it on media player

TMT 3 can play it, but I cannot get trueHD because my HTPC don't support it.
Right now i'm looking for new graphic card like HD5450 that can bitstream DTS-HD/TrueHD. biggrin.gif

call this fella, cheap cheap onkyo speakers.

I bought 3 set from him, CODed, working so far, not the best, but I only paid RM 65 / set COD Penang!  Now I can see the price increased to RM 100, still CHEAP though.

What model? It is 5.1 speaker?

I hentam 3ohm speakers (HTiB) to my Sony AVR rated for 8 ohm so far OK   thumbup.gif
So i guess those speakers should be OK for your Yammy amp..

But, if you got a 665, why go for budget speakers? unless you are saving up for something better.
*
A 3 ohm speaker presents less of a load on the amplifier, therefore allowing the amplifier to deliver more power than an 8 ohm load. Ohms law states that if you halve the impedance, power will double.

Assuming the amplifier can supply the additional current and the sensitivity of the 8 ohm vs 3 ohm speakers is relatively close, then the amplifier can push more power to the 3 ohm speaker producing a higher sound pressure level than the 8 ohm speaker.

Don't be surprised if a cheap amplifier shuts down when being connected to a 3 ohm load and being pushed really hard.
It really depends on the amp and speakers though. If your amp can already power an 8 ohm speaker to the loudest listening levels you desire, then going to 3 ohms isn't going to buy you much other than a hotter amplifier.

For future invesment better go for at least RX-V465. RX-V365 is very basic AVR and it don't support video through HDMI and HD audio.

465 should be around 1600, the remaining 900 is enough to buy NSP270 http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/av.../ht/nsp270.html

the last I checked, the speaker set is about 800 +/-
*
Better get NS-P380 because it more advance model compare to NS-P270. Price also not so much different I think.
