Hi guys, i'm a new bie for surround system, i have a budget of 30-35k for a whole set of home entertainment. I really need all your advice.

This is what i've been quoted.

Surround Set
1. Denon AV Receiver AVR-3808 (1 Set) RM6,500
2. Onix Reference 2 Floor Stand Speaker (1 pair) Rm 7800
3. Onix Reference 100 Center Speaker (1 pc) Rm 3250
4. Onix SW-10 Subwoofer (1 unit) Rm 3300
5. Onix Evolution 1 Rear Speaker (2 pair) Rm 2560
6. Infocus X-10 Full HD Projector (1 set) Rm 8500
7. Draper Onyx 92” Screen (1 set) Rm 3850
8. Projector Bracket (1 set) Rm 280
9. Surround Speaker Bracket (2 pair) Rm 500
10. Onix Silver HDMI Cable 10m (1 pc) Rm 1380
11. Canare Composite Cable 10m (1 pc) Rm180
12. Acoustic Research Speaker Cable (30m) Rm 250


Total price is rm 38,350. it's kind of costly...please let me know if this is a reasonable price? I'm from Ipoh myself....

why don't you shop around more coz your budget can easily get a decent system.

Only 2 comments: (4) get SVS PB12-NSD=RM3600; (10) get 10m HDMI from forumer and it works well ~RM200 only

get in touch with htkaki. He is the pro in HD projectors kind of stuff. RM 30k to RM 35k will get you a very decent setup.

good luck

Hi there,i'm from ipoh too.From the list i know which shop u got the quotation,no comment on their price but I suggest u to go to Designer Hifi cos their price is quite reasonable.( at least in ipoh area )

not familiar with the price of the rest of the items but ur denon 3808 is over priced d.. should be within 5k range

I wonder about this



does it cost THAT much? that's 18/meter... for a composite cable?

yes it could be. Cables can be very expensive.

NO if you buy from monoprice...
why u need a composite cable for anyway? even camcorders nowaday using HDMI liao, unless u still using VHS lar....

I guess your quote comes from C&O?

I'm sure it is possible to nego down the price a bit more. I find prices in Ipoh to be quoted a bit higher than KL (maybe got more competition in KL).

Are you happy with the items suggested? Have you gone to demo others?

C&O. Too bad that I do not have a chance to drop by to check it out. On my next trip, I'll go to Audio Art, C&O and Dong Fong. But, I might need your help, jchong.

No problem. Let me know when you're up here again.

Good morning guys...well you guys are really pro, even manage to guess where my quote from. Well i tried the demo and actually satisfied with the quality produced, but am just wondering how bad i has been over quote.....

How do you guys rate this set of home entertainment?

i will not be bias here on who to recommend, but if you have listened to the setup in the bigger room, one thing for sure i can say is very good

the auditioned was done with 2 subs and LX71 and a powered Rotel' think you should consider replacing the Denon 3808 maybe to 4310,

Anyone know the marketprice for AVR 4310? even more costly than 3808?

bro, jchong, honoreric, sherr127,

think we shud plan for a days trip to visit bro htkaki

any suggestion, prefrebably Sunday

I'm thinking of visiting him next month, Dec 20 (Sun) to be more precise.

Added on November 13, 2009, 10:29 amI think 4310 is 7-8k.

Boss, pls don't put high hopes on my setup as mine is by no means an elite setup if to compare with magnificent systems in Ipoh and Penang



Marking it down into my phone

Probably there will be a minor change in the setup. The 5 channels will be driven by a power amp by then. The Klipsch will be taken out and MTS-01 will be in again. So, it might ended up with MTS-01 system, SCS-01(M) for surr back, PB13-Ultra, AS-EQ1, and 4310.

dont worry boss, very nice setup, you will always have the honour for one of the best sounding investment

Wah, like that can hear full SVS setup
