Hi Bro

Confirmed have you need to hit the straight button to show the DTS-MA or Dolby True HD sign on the display panel.

Hi

It is about sound preference. Have been using Pioneer AX 10i series for quite a while until I change to Yamaha Aventage series. There was a lot of difference in the sound. You need to hear it and test it with your own ears on which you prefer. In summary i am very happy with my current Yamaha setup. Take note LX56 give you better control on the sound setting which the Yamaha lacks.

U going for 5.1 or 7.1?

if not mistaken, bi amp u will need to sacrifice 2 channel....

in this case, u may need to plan well whether you have intention to go 7.1 + bi amp in future.... or only 7.1... then 7.2 amp should be more than enuff, but u may need to see the power of the amp whether good enuff to drive your speaker set with bi amp.. or u wan change speaker a speaker as well?

I'm now struggling whether 3020 or not haha.....

damn too poisonous!!!!

now i'm waiting to change my 608 to Aventage x20... how long u been using yr 1010?

still struggling which model to go for... hah...

Hi

Dont make your decision too early on this long and winding road with a lot of upgrade poison a long the way. Had my 5.1 when I started thought thats good enuff. After playing the toys for few years upgrade to 7.1. Now I regretted I did not plan for 9.2 when I had the chance when renovating my house. Really regretted should gone for the 3010 when I had the chance.

Had my 1010 about 1.5 years ago when the Aventage series was first launched. Go for the 3020 if you have the moolah at least if you want to go for 7.1  + biamp it is future proof. Bought the 1010 cos I was really tight on my budget at that time.

hi.. I also bought the same set from Yamaha Year End Sales today... trying to set up the
speakers via yamaha YPAO... but after testing all the 5 speakers, the AV shut down automatically.

when I try on again, it says "check speakers" ,... i have checked...seems everything ok...

any idea, what is going on ?

Haha... totally agreed....

I was started with 5.1 as well... then suddenly 1 day go and use a normal 6 ohm speaker as front height become 7.1...

from tat day onwards, nvr thought of going back to 5.1 anymore haha...

and my cabling is using balia cable... hehe.... last month jus change the front and center speaker cable to audioquest G2. Can really feel the differences!!!!! Now dont bother the surround and front height yet cable coz it is conseal....

In fact my budget was just 3.5K.... but then even 1020 oredi over my budget...

haha so now going to squeeze a little bit so may consider 3020 as it is over 5K!!!!!

If x10 series maybe got offer, for x20 series I dont think it have offer....as they jus launched at PJ last few days...

hmm i think you can go to yamaha malaysia website to compare the new and old model...

it is better u can go to try listen with yr ears..... lot comments that this year model is better than last year model... in term of SQ due to the material added on... then some more 4K ready... haha

but maybe at the end the price do talking.... so better go try out once

Ya.. the airplay allow you to stream the music from iphone/ipad/itunes to the amp.. but not video....

If got chance, u can try PK x10 and x20 series

haha no...

i meant try both yamaha x10 and x20 series and let yr ears to decide which one you prefer.....

RX-V473 RM1500 at penang.

I ask ss2 legend, the quote me 1.3k

Things they quote me that I buy have stock. For the avr, when I ask they have the stock but no speaker package, so did not buy because I want to test out first.
