Hello all,

I am interested in buying front speakers for a home theatre system when I visit KL next month

I want small front speakers similar to the size of Bose Jewel Cube speakers. However, I dont like Bose speakers but I do like the size of the speakers.

Can you please tell me any other brands that have small front speakers and where in KL i can get them? I will be staying in the Bukit Bintang area in KL.

My budget is between RM 600 to RM 1000.

Thanks.

creative sbs a500 5.1 system...

Aego M FTW!

yup good stuff

how much is Aego M ?


@GTI WR6 : 2.1 or 5.1 system?

He said front speaker.

so he did... does that mean he already has a sub? can you buy Aego M without one?

2.0 system friends.

sub will buy from my country.

thanks.

Added on October 17, 2009, 6:44 pmI will use the speakers for watching movies only

the Aego M looks like its made for music.

will expand my home theatre to 5.1 in a few months. but for now, I want to start off with a good pair of small 2.0 front speakers.

I'm not sure you can buy 2 small speakers - most satellite-sized speakers come in a set (5.1 or 2.1 like Aego M)

see if you can get a pair of Paradigm Cinema 70s they are about twice the height of a Bose cube and slightly wider



check at Asia Sound Equipment

where ar u from?

this one ok?

ok but what brand is that?

600 to RM 1000 budget of course PSB Alpha B1 or Wharfedale Diamond 9.1

I was gonna recommend Wharfy Diamond 9.1 and Mission M32i... but i think those bookshelves are still too big for his liking...

it's call Orb Audio

check www.orbaudio.com for details

I am using 4 of them as my surrounds speakers..big sound although a bit weak in Bass but what to expect with such small speaker

for 2 pieces - USD239 b4 shipping & tax.

ask them to declare as computer parts then no need tax.

Well, I got PM from him about Wharfy 9.1. I think he would like it. Honestly, 9.1 is one hack of a budget speaker. I love mine. At 1st it looks big, but after a while now..... it doesnt. I get used to it already.

Creative gigaworks t3 ^^

how heavy are each of the wharfdale 9.1s bro?

Weight about 5.5kg each.

Here are the list of good review of Wharfy 9.1.

where can I get them in KL?

Looks like the 9.1 more for music use. Any feedback on movies performance?

as Ngto said, I am looking for speakers more geared for watching movies.


got an e-mail from atlas today regarding the price of a pair of Bose Jewel Cube speakers. RM 1,200. Its got to be a joke, right?

I'm using 9.1 as stereo, 9.cs as center, DFS-18 for surround, and WH-210 Sub.

For movies, I tested movies like X Men, U571, Lord Of The Rings. And it sound great even when I drive really loud. The dynamic is really depending on my amp. Yamaha use to me more musical. So, I love concert etc. So, I like that.

So, the result is good for me. Also, the woofer is made of kevlar known to be strong and punchy. But I would suggest something from 5 inch and above woofer for the stereo and center speaker. Unless u willing to pay more for those so call new technology that can performed better than a 5in. Dont get confuse, this is the stereo woofer, not the sub-woofer im talkin about.

sychong, who selling this locally

last time, i ask my friend in US ship back for me.

recently only i know they ship back the BD from UK or US via virtual port. haven't try b4.
but i still ask my friends to ship back if u want.

thks

@htkaki also selling ma...

Its a Bose so its not a joke.

Small bookshelf speakers, have a look at PSB Alpha B1s at yr price range?

aiyo , where u get this info?
i just confirm with htkaki that he is not carry this brand.
i though i can source fr local.

thks

when's ur turn?

i remember some time ago someone wanted to upgrade his Bose from 5.1 to 6.1 Atlas quoted him RM600 on one piece of cube

where to get klipsch speakers in KL?

Now you know why people say Bose is overpriced.

I'm using Klipsch speakers right now

generally,

speakers good for music = great for home theatre

and speakers good for home theatre may not be good for music

ahahaha ... to add to the deliberation ... lol

surround not yet. fast fast get the whole set
