Surprise, surprise ozak!! I got my v577 just a month back and to boot a Yamaha subwoofer sw-215 (yours better). To top it off, both of these I got from legend sri petaling. Such coincidences don't come often eh?

Any idea how much the v477 cost? Saw it for rm1599 in Harvey Norman. Thanks.

Hmm, maybe you can look some more. Last time I surveyed price for v577 (yes, not v477)...I was quoted rm1680 from a shop in amcorp mall. Dunno whether still apply. This was less than 1 month ago. Anyway I was a bit disappointed coz I already bought it at a higher price.

You mean, you bought it? If so, how much? Slowly I too am becoming more informed of the Aventage series. Too bad I just bought the standard series (v577). Maybe next time...

After adding in my power amp to 2030, the sound had become more solid. Can really feel the power from the speakers. The most outstanding will be surround sound in movies are totally amazing. Even now the bass is tighter and more control. Totally worth the price

Isn't the receiver powerful as it is without adding a power amp? smile.gif

With 150 watt is pretty decent. With adding power amp to it give the sound more weight. The sound stage also become wider. Then again also depend on your speaker.

May you share with us the brand/model of the power amp and how you connect the power amp to the receiver for example cabling and speakers connections etc. Thank you in advance.

I am using emotiva XPA5. Just connect all 5 pre out from the avr to the power amp. I am using unbalance connection.  All speaker cables connect directly to the power amp

I'm really happy with this site. I'm learning more from peoples' setup. Now I know that in the future I should consider buying a receiver with preamp outputs for me to add optional power amp, right?

I know. I was only joking. Seeing that he showed them in car boot, I jokingly say that this was a car boot sale. Haha. Have fun with your a3040 Bongbo. Btw, what is your speaker setup 5.x, 7.x, 9.x etc ?

any reason for using the Y connector ?

Yeah, even though my sub (Yamaha sw215) has two rca inputs, I only use one. From my yamaha sub pre out (I have 2 but just using one) to one of the sub inputs. Still works. Would using 2 inputs via Y-cable make it better?

One word to explain  - "Kiasu" 😁
Some say better , some say the same

My personal opinion - it makes me NOT to worry to Y cable or not to Y cable  and subconsciously telling myself sounds better because spent more money compared to a single cable. Hehe

My 2 cents - borrow a Y cable from your friend and if it works for u , invest in a Y cable . If not , u save some money for other upgrades . One less thing to worry about... Again if it does sound better , is very minimal that u can live with your existing single cable.

If your interest is to make your sound better , would recommend the below first before jumping into upgrading

->  check your position of speakers , setup with amp if really correct and room acoustics (kopi table blocking speakers? Sofa too close to speaker etc? ) I had friends who change systema like crazy and realized the problem was the room and Power as she stayed near factories in USJ. Bought a power regulator and organized her living room made him love her system again .

I'll keep the Y cable in mind. Funny you should mention the coffee table coz my back speakers are underneath it. Had to put them there as not to annoy Home Minister tongue.gif
