sonerin, which harvey norman outlet that has many equipment so i can test? the one in IKEA?

so anyone else can advise me an entry level of amp...?

beside those 3.....i found yammy 1909 at one shop asking 1900...

I bought VSX 819-H from Harvey Norman Sunway. Got many choices there

harvey norman sell package not single...went there today around lunch time....the speaker is tallboy which i dont like...i prefer satelite

1909 should be danny ler... not yammy

Or you can try SENQ or Courts Mammoth

i'm heading to desa kepong today to check out test...if ok i get it straight away...will audition few brand aswell...

ya just realise its denon not yammy...kinda confuse...

Pioneer, ......speakers are...well...wait for him to reply...better to hear it from him than me..

You meant he bought the Pioneer VSX 819 plus the Pioneer speakers?

Amp is Pioneer, Speakers different brand..haha..let him play with his new toyz...
I only tumpang happy

- bought Pioneer VSX819H-K, RM1499 in desa kepong

the amp is VSX819 and the speaker set is harman kardon HKTS 11 (BQ) got it at bargain price, so last 2 days busy setting up the amp and playing around with setting. so far quite satisfied with the setup but the speaker not properly burn in...wait another a month (depend) how often i play to make it softer....

but i already got call from neighbour after blasting it while watching TF2-ROTF...hahaha

Anyone know about the price for the Pioneer LX series?

which model ?

I got the quote for LX82 at RM8.8k
if it is SC-LX90 at that price then ok lar

my simple review of Pioneer VSX819h-k

setup.
Setup is easy just follow the manual and instruction, although this AMP was meant for a 5.1 setup but theres additional 2 more port for additional sorround sound back to make it 7.1 ! eve

setting up,
this is not a plug and play device, i spend almost 6 hours getting a correct setup to make everything works accordingly, mcacc is a big help but when u have kids that doesnt know how to shut up setting up is a painful lesson..only manage to use this feature after they went for a nap...if not i cant properly hear certain sound so have to play couple of movie to hear the correct sound appear and designated speaker....

might want to test 7.1 if i have extra speaker and disc that has 7.1 track. so far able to decode DTS-HD, Dolby-HD amazingly...

the OSD only appear if you have component connected to your TV, it doesnt work with HDMI. so if u want OSD u need to connect component and remove the HDMI temporarly

so far manage to set x-over and several setting such as DRC, direct to decode what ever codec

pro :
1) good value for money, although amp mention setup for 5.1 but actually u can go all the way to 7.1 !

cons :
1) setting a bit difficult, you need to read the manual over and over again to get better understanding
2) remote looks cheap
3) OSD only appear if u use component

Can PM me all the LX series? Tqvm.

LX-82's AQ really changed my perception on Pioneer AVR. It is indeed very good

Told u so....and u still stick to Sky Dragon

Boss, because of the huge gap in price. Peasant can't afford So, ended up with 'budget in mind' 4310.

the 4310 vs LX82 prices diff not that much mar....but SC-LX90 is at RM24k

That LX90 sure looks impressive. But at 24k, isn't it better to buy all separates?

24k can get 10.2 channel amp + processor?
simultaneous output of 1400W
or can bi-amp all channel

I don't think the 7.1 feature is truely 7.1. It more for DVD 6.1 encoded sources like Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES (don't think this is common) or for upmix of 5.1 sources.

Say you buy:

Onkyo PR-SC5507 pre/pro
Emotiva XPA-5 amp x2

I think total about 15-16k and can get simultaneous 2000W!

ok...

1 box vs 3 boxes ....

maybe st seong can quote us 15k for the LX90???

Yeah, disadvantage is 3 boxes. But looks very impressive on the rack

Wah if CT Seong can sell LX90 for 15k you gonna grab?

Can the LX90 be flashed if there is a new Dolby or DTS that come out?

0% installment for 60 months

i will need to confirm that once i get any BD disc or mkv that has 7.1....

Why not dl a test disk file which has 7.1 channels?

Easier to confirm...man...I should have...errr...nvm

which is best place to buy Pioneer AVR in KL? other than Desa Kepong or lowyat...

i'm targetting 1019AH end of this month. plus its BDP320. maybe can get a combo deal.

Harvey Norman outlets got a mini showroom for Pioneer products (except Sunway Pyramid).

Hi-way Laser in SS2

If you choose upmix, you will get 7.1 sound from 5.1 sources , but the surround and back sound will be the same sound from the surround channel.

Besides, even Desa HT advertises it as 5.1 Receiver

A & L Audio Station

bro, which file of yours that has 7.1 track?

---

Added on November 10, 2009, 10:16 amok but the manual say can do 7.1 depending on the source (i think refering to BD or DVD)...just need to place the speaker position accordingly...

well as for me i'm quiet satisfy with the setup...5.1...

---

Added on November 10, 2009, 10:18 amprice might be slight higher then desa, coz i went to their branch in amcorp mall was quoted rm1700....but since u buying combo maybe can get cheaper

This post has been edited by soulquarianz: Nov 10 2009, 10:18 AM

Only Demo files...I'll bring them if we meet this weekend..

I suspect with true 7.1 HD sources , you will get both the surround and back channel sound output from both the surround and back speakers and not separately.

Please update your testing results

Since the 819 is a 5 channel amp design, I doubt it could output the surr back as a discrete channel (independent). It sld be a matrixed source from surr channel. Moreover, it will also seriously burden the avr if you do hook 7.1 setup as it is only meant for 5 channels (150W @ 6ohms x 5). Expect a drastic drop in performance especially at higher vol and distortion kicks in easily . I would advise a 5.1 setup for this avr

Thanks for the info

Wow.
actually last year i was aiming for the SC-LX81 but who knows suddenly SC-LX82 has been announced.
So no choice.
But any difference between SC-LX82 and SC-LX81?
anyone knows?

thanks for your info bro, yes i dont intend to do a 7.1 setup as for me 5.1 is sufficient for time being...but i will experiment once i get my hand on a 7.1 source.

Still thinking shud get the 819k+sms800+srs3sw with 3k in malaysia or buy onkyo 607(singapore ~S$650)+other budget 5.1speaker+sub <3.5k. Any comment?

The SMS800 is 5 pieces of speakers right?

yup.

With first option

buy in malaysia better next time got problem easy to deal with...

btw go for 1st option....

+1, yup.

my sc-lx 82......

Attached thumbnail(s)

Elite spotted. Btw, what's your spkr setup? TIA

819 confirm 5.1......I check the pictures of the rear of the amp....the other two are for Speaker B

Speaker A are the main fronts....Speaker B is for another set of speaker just in case you wanna install another set of speakers in another room
As mention in page 22 or connecting the speakers

Picture of 819 rear



919 is real 7.1 but if wanna use another set of Speaker for another Room...it can only be configure to 5.1 + 2 in another room as mention in page 16 or connection the equipment

Picture of 919 rear


This is quite standard for most amps...you guys long time never play with the backside..only fiddle with the front side


OK...mystery solved

I was at desa kepong on the 4th nov, heavy rain and traffic jam so i just drive in to the mall don want to stuck in the jam 7pm. While inside i almost...almost got the pioneer(The sales man show/test on 2 display unit pioneer with 4speaker and sub woofer . After listening /watching as he put in dvd combat movie to test..not bad for 2.8k with a better pioneer speaker and 2.1k for a lower range pioneer also.
Sorry i am not a hifi man and know nothing about it, but i heard he told me is a 5.1 and something 7.1 also can?? But he said if take another model pioneer aslo AV with blu-ray compatible something like that additional myr400.
Free all wire and even free delivery.
So i told him i wanted the 2.8k package and i wanted it that on that night if they could deliver,he went on checking and say no have to wait as they have a lot of delivery.
Ask me to put a deposit and deliver 2 to 3 days time.
Then i told myself better compare other brand or price 1st.
So i went home and told my wife , i am so close of getting the Av system, she say "NO" ...
But i still like the system, so to all sifu outside please advice me Good buy?

Your wife said "NO" already wor....
If getting the HT system and started a family war is a big NO NO to me

agreed

do change the wife then consider getting the HT system

berani change the wife? anyway just grab the HT system....at the end nothing happen la......

This post has been edited by kayroll: Nov 13 2009, 08:10 AM

ya lor, how to get christmas present??
wife ady given a big NO !!!

if around 2.1k to 2.8k plus speaker package, think shud be model 519

This post has been edited by moomoos: Nov 13 2009, 08:31 AM

romeomustfly - since you didn't recalled the model no., can you tell us the color of the speakers?

With a nick like romeo must fly, I think your wife will not mind you getting a HT system. The very least it will keep you indoor for a while, instead of you flying here & there...

some wife's really nag one le, and will always say can hear with the 2 TV speakers enuf liao lor.

my godpa, just imagine... company can rent a single storey condo, ( beginning of orchard road costing SG20k/mth for him ) just imagine what his payscale like, but buy a pair of Sonus faber also kena nag

Added on November 13, 2009, 8:55 amwell, bro romeomustfly, there is a way eventually,

do you smoke or drink means liquor stuff

if you dont, then at least you can tell your mrs

" I dont smoke/drink so at least you know my $$$ is well spent on electronics, rather than on other person rite "
you know what person i'm refering to rite

I always tell my wife, HT is my only hobby and leisure now, if you take that away from me, u want me to rot at home and get rusted ar? Like that, I better everyday work untill 11pm, come home to sleep only.
