You may look at the Pertama complex, which floor i forgot. The shop selling custom made home theater. Some of the brand i never heard and some is yes. But it is just an audio shop. you may take their advice also

sorry noobie here,
let say i have speakers that are 8 ohm
but this avr has this spec:
4 Ohm/8 Ohm Switching: No (6 Ohm only)
so the question is whether my speakers can fit into this avr? can it be done?
thanks

someone needs to take TS to their house and poison him kau kau..........

yes, it can be done.

Frankly, since your budget is 10-20k you will get better sound if you customise a set (like what ronnt88 suggested). If you go to places like Best Denki, Harvey Norman, etc they will have some sets from the mass market Japanese brands like Pioneer, Sony, Yamaha, Onkyo, Denon, etc... it is more convenient but overall you will get more of your money's worth by customising a set by going to the hi-fi shops.

So what speakers recommend?

Probably you can choose denon, jbl, or any customized speakers, as it was told, try hi fi shops, they will plenty choices for ya..

Any shop recommend? How about the hi fi shop located at ground floor in lowyat?

Oh, Desa Home System somethin' init..? ah , no there's another one..yeah you may try there...but yeah, i dont think Desa Home , they quite have the items you're looking for, they have amps, HTIB..

Tong Lee at lyp is known to have sharp knife la... but i not sure... only been there once.

If you wanna physically audition the product, the best place would be Amcorp mall which has the most Hifi shop under 1 roof. Else you can browse this site :

You mean cut head?

There are so many brands out there... PSB, Klipsch, Wharfedale, Mordaunt Short, KEF, etc.

Please visit some shops to listen to them and see what you like. It does take some effort to visit different shops to listen to different stuff. Also means it might take some time before your whole system is assembled.

Try to visit shops which have a large selection of brands. So more choices for you to mix and match and if you buy a system from them can nego for better price.

How about the brand Marrantz?

Marantz is another good choice for electronics, like CD players, AVR, etc. Audition them and decide for yourself.

If i look at the samsung set with samsung LED TV, which model the best?

I reckon this is the budgeted price and yet satisfying model : Series 6 6000 40 inch

Added on February 3, 2010, 4:37 pmWhat's the advantage of using standalone AMP rather than an AMP which comes with HTIB? More customization option?

How much for this set? How about series 8?

I think Harvey do sell the higher end Yamaha Speakers i.e The Saovo series...last I check the 5.1 package can go as low as RM20k
add a RM5k AVR....that's a very beautiful package

or take a look at these:-

The Q-Acoustics 5.1 looks promising package..nice one...is there a sale going on?
