Not sure what's your budget and if you had the speakers already but another post you can have a look. The AVR included should be Pioneer 819.

Dear All;

Is pioneer VSX819 + Jamo S606 a good match? Thankss

You can see it in Harvey Norman Sunway Pyramid or Midvalley

im in penang.. guess i need to go to CMY Gurney?

nono i dont have any yet.. first timer

Hi all,

I am using pioneer 818, I have 2 front speakers frequency ranges from 40 hz -> 50khz and centre and surround frequency ranges from 85 -> 20k.

My question is,
1) I should set my crossover frequency to above 85hz right? since that is the Lowest frequency for my centre and surround speakers.

2) Most of the article in internet teach us to set all speakers to small if with subwoofer, what if I set the front speakers as Large and subwoofer as PLUS. Because for pioneer AVR, there is a PLUS function for subwoofer. Will I get better bass? My subwoofer frequency ranges from 28hz to 200hz.

C.T. Seong

thanks willkso. Alrady pm him

Hmmm, non Pioneer owner willing to share opinion?

Another question here, for Dual Mono setting, the description in the user manual stated -> Specifies how dual mono encoded Dolby Digital soundtracks should be played, 3 Options, Ch1 (by default), Ch2 or lCH1.RCh2 for both channels heard from front speakers, any one know anything about this setting?

Thanks.

I'm looking for a upgrade also. Previously i had RS-7
but believe me, for movie is ok, but if for listening to music, even VSX819 can't make it, as it's still counted as entry level

I am thinking about upgrading to
jamo S-606 HC53

+
jamo SUB-200


+
Pioneer VSX-1019AH A/V receive
(In comparison chart, it won against all Denon and also Onkyo)

after mcacc...my listening volume is -20db....is it normal?.....

Saw 819 full set wit speaker n sub @senq gurney. Selling for rm3499

That should be RRP. Should be able to get much cheaper price after bargain. one forumer here mention can get for RM2999 while others getting it for ~RM3100.

Ya I think so. But nobody is serving me so I just walk out without asking much. Not going to buy anytime soon also . It certainly looks beautiful

depend on what is your bargain. RM3499 comes with 3 years warranty + HDMI cables + speaker stand.

1. I am comparing between HTP-RS70 and HTP-819SW, and I am wondering which one actually performs better. I understand that both the units are also using AVR VSX-819H-K, the difference is the speakers used. Does anyone care to comment on this?

2. Besides, I was told that AVR VSX-919AH-K does support DTS-HD Master Audio, but this info is not shown in Pioneer website. My concern is if I didn't get HTP-RS70 or HTP-819SW, I will buy either buy VSX-819AH-K or VSX-919AH-K, then buy a separate speaker set, e.g. Jamo.

3. If I were to buy a budget Jamo 5.1 speakers, is there any recommendation on this? last night, I went to HN Ikano, and actually saw the Jamo 5.1 speakers driven by Onkyo AVR (can't recall the model number). Jamo actually performed quite good, and it does please my ears. :-)

Thanks!

My opinion,

If the sound pleases your ears and price is within your range, dun ask too much just bargain the price and buy. Or else, you will end up confusing or over budget with all the poisons here.

Both VSX 819 and 919 support TrueHD and DTS-HDMA. The different between the 2 AVR was 819 = 5.1, 919 = 7.1 and some other extra function with 919.

i...must....resist....arrrgghh..

add me up in the list pls.. VSX-1019 user here.. Just bought it.. Need some extraordinary sifu here to guide me.. why is it there's no master dts or tru HD or any HD audio "logo" appeared when i play HD input from my ps3? still new to this machine.. kinda hard to configure.. its like so details..
