you talking Labuan but most of it will pass through KL first. So already kena tax...

If U are planning to buy and keep in box, better send to 47, Lorong.....

add another rm99 become 1499 u can get VSX819H-K with 3 HDMI in / 1 out..capable to do 7.1 and support DTS HD and Dolby HD

Yamaha RX-V465 ~ RM1500
Denon 1909 ~ RM1800 if u can find one. Penang HiFi choice still selling...

Came across this unit 2nd hand, worth looking at?

NAD T754

ps: I am not the seller lah.. but I am using an NAD T763, so far so good. Still think with proper speakers, NAD sounds better for music and movie combined.

It has no latest thingy like HDDts or True HD sound, but the audio output can be link into this amp for proper amplification. For your budget, its not easy to get full technology advantage with good hifi sounds. So compromise has to be made I think. And I still think sound quality comes first.

Where is the best place to shop for HT AVR in KL? Will be there in a weeks time?

Any good promo going on now?

Saw in the StarMetro today (pg M33) Desa Home Theatre having "Grand-Opening Big Sales" (I thought Desa HT open long time ago already, how come Grand Opening??!!).. Anyway, I'm shopping for a budget component HT system myself, so planning to check it out...

Any advise from the Si-fus out there on what may be a very good deal? However, in the papers everything also VERY SPECIAL PRICE.. dunno can believe or not... Please... please... please... impart some of your wisdom on me... I'm kinda a sucker for execeptionally good deals, usually end up with something above my initial budget just because it is a very good deal!

Onkyo876 @ RM4k+.. If can grab then quite good deal

Was actually thinking of the Marantz SR5003 with the Wharfedale speakers... maybe (just maybe) change the Marantz with something else perhaps?? if RM4k+ for AVR then no money to buy speakers liao..

Haha...Come down grab Onkyo 876, together with PSB & SVS sub and go back a happy man

They renovated their shop. Got some nice stuff there. Old AVR on discount very cheap...

Just dont bother talking to the sales men there. All also good one...

I think when they expanded their shopping and showroom area they did not have special activities to publicise their new look. So now trying to attract people to see their improvements.

Their special price for grand opening was supposed to end last week but till this week also still got Grand Opening Sales. Maybe respond not too good last week so now extended

Where is desa home theater ?

In Kepong.

Is lowyat a good place to buy AV receiver? I will be in KL over the weekend and my brother wants me to help him buy a good sub RM1000 receiver.

pls note that desa lowyatt price is slight higher then kepong ! also the salesman there very lansi one....

I was at lowyat last night and here are the AV that they recommend...

Pioneer VSX-519v fro RM1299 no discount at all.

The other is Sherwwod RQ-6502 for RM999. Bot familiar with theSherwwod, but the salesman say h\its sound better than the denon 130? which is also at RM999.

Got a show unit Yamaha 363 for RM800...is it worth it?

or LYP..

I would reccomend you to stick to VSX-819 as this model is the latest from pioneer line up, launch together with the LX series sometime back. Although the price may be around 1.5k, but you are guarenteed wont become "water" fish as compare to buying old model where the price very much depend..

VSX-519 is also new model. But the HDMI can only accept HD LPCM sound. Cannot accept bitstream and deocde HD Audio.
