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

agreed

do change the wife then consider getting the HT system

LX-71 is a bluray player rite?

Then, it can't drive 4ohm speakers since 82 replaces 81. Tks a lot.

My friend order it from a Hifi dealer in Sibu.  We order 1 each.  Very tempted to go for the LX85 which is only RM4800.

Got to wait fot it to arrive from SG.

The benefits of XT32 are not only limited to "a very poor room with lots of room gain". All rooms, even a larger one will cause some variation in the freq response. Have you ever used a tool like REW to graph your sub/room? Quite interesting.

Also, you shouldn't only be looking at the issue of room gain but also freq dips. Both should be addressed. One thing I would check with MCACC is whether it even equalizes the sub, some say it doesn't. Some say it only equalizes down to 60Hz. If true that is a major limitation to me. I'm not arguing about whether MCACC or Audyssey is better but just about functionality; if MCACC doesn't eq the sub then that is a major loss of functonality (like the low end Audyssey 2EQ).

You're assuming the LX75/85 is the better sounding receiver. No doubt being the top end Pioneer models they can sound good. But would it sound better than equivalent Denon/Onkyo models, I don't know. Have not compared them.

I got it off avforums

My friend finally got the Pioneer SC-LX75 that we both order more than a month ago. He will be sending it to me later today. 

The price is however higher than what we were originally quoted.  Including tax and shipping it end up RM4700 but its still very worth it to me. 

Can't wait to get it tomorrow.
