stated your budget would be better

I'm not sure the budget of a set of home theatre system, maybe you can show me the highest end or medium end set selling in the market now. But make sure the specs i mentioned above are available in the system.

dun think there's any answer to "which brand is the best to buy". everyone has different preference so its best to go to a shop and test things out then google for some reviews and ask the forumers for their views.

Entry level HTS like Yamaha, Pioneer with HDMI start from RM3k+
Never saw any with WLAN before...

Below is a rough guide line but just for the sound system ie excluding display.

Budget HTIB - RM2k ish.

Entry Level Separate 5.1 Systems - RM5k ish

Mid Range Separate Systems - RM10k to 20k ish

High End Separate Systems - >20k to Million ish

Which is more in line with your budget ish?

You mean Pioneer set?

Added on January 27, 2010, 11:25 amI think Mid range suitable for me. Pls add the display together later.

You mean your budget for Display is excluding the 20k for audio?

Yes, can also.

Another elite soon to be.......

I saw recently there's a RM3k+ entry level set from both Pioneer (at SenQ) and Yamaha (at Harvey Norman).. both 5.1 systems...

Paging for HTKaki!

Got potential elite coming in.

pls stated also the brand u suggest for him.. im also interested, and im new to this home theater... nway what is HTIB? Home Theater I.B.??

HTIB = Home Theater In Box

Our bro alr say his budget is about 20k... so HTIB is not suitable for him...

RM20k for sound system is not bad la... 30k would be better so u can get better subby

anyways, for 20k i guess u can go with :

Sub - RM5k (SVS PC12+?)
AVR - RM5k (Denon/Onkyo)
Rest of 5.0 speakers - RM10k (Too many brands out there )

U still need at least RM1k for cables.

Bro, don't go for so expert one customize buy, i just need a set of system that we saw in the electronic shop. You just name the set of model for me then i'll go look at it, thanx!

seriously 3K system is more than enuf for me, why you all need very expensive appliances? izzit becos the quality of the sound very different from the lower end?

i tot 5K system already expensive huhu

oh... sounds like u want a HTIB system, since u got nice budget, y don't u check out the Bose systems... small lifestyle type, think u can get 5.1 set (with Bose receiver) for around 10k (excluding BD player). Then u still have 10k for tv & BD player

but if i were to go for lifestyle speakers, I'd go with a real AVR (Denon / Onkyo budgeted around 5k) then get lifestyle 5.1 systems like KEF eggs / B&W for another RM6k or so...

Added on January 28, 2010, 10:11 amto each their own i guess.... there's no explaining it but u get RM3k sound quality for RM3k and RM20k sound quality for RM20k

so if u r happy with RM3k sound, then 3k is all u need

In the electronic shop like BEST, HARVEY or SENQ, they don't have a set cost between 10k to 20k? I'm looking at the set like this, just tell me the model set then i'll go to take a look.

maybe they'd have these http://www.yamaha.com/yec/speakers/soavo.html

should be quite good

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?

This post has been edited by enemyofgod: Feb 3 2010, 04:37 PM

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?

This post has been edited by enemyofgod: Feb 3 2010, 04:41 PM

Ok, I want a set like this:-

1) Samsung LED TV Series 8 8000 46"
2) Samsung Blu-ray player (which model?)
3) If i use computer speaker Logitech Z5500 is it good enough?

So approximately how much it cost for this set?

This post has been edited by rstusa: Feb 3 2010, 04:48 PM

My suggestion is to let go samsung blu-ray player and go for cheaper blu-ray player like those PHILIPS one (around RM780)..Then extra money saved go for HTiB..

I think by "standalone AMP" you mean the AVR. Usually the AVR will have a higher quality amp and higher power. AVR might also have more HDMI inputs, might have upscaler and also room correction feature like Audyssey. You can check the features between an AVR and HTIB and compare.

Will do , thanks for the short brief..

can consider JAMO S-606 Speaker system + Onkyo TX-SR507 at SENQ = RM5699


http://www.jamo.com/eu-en/products/s-606-hcs-6-description/

SENQ selling this set?

Ya..Miri yes..i m from Miri..

Bro i have suggestion for you...5.1ch set up


Display - Panasonic plasma 42 full hd - rm3300
BD player - ps3 slim - rm1200
amp - Onkyo 876 - rm5600
main speaker - polk audio rtia7 - rm3700
center - polk audio csia6 - rm1600
surround - polk audio (bipole/dipole) fxia4 - rm1600
sub - polk dsw600 - rm2000
cable - rm1000

total - rm20k

you can check this speakers package at Lowyat G floor (desa ht)

Wow, this cost fortune to setup, expensive hobby eh..

Bro, with your kind of budget. I suggest you head to Bangsar Village II Ground Floor and check out the Bang&Olfusen's there. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to hook you up. B&O definitely 1ups BOSE any time.

Alternatively, you should also check out the Bower & Wilkins showroom in JayaOne Shopping Center. Another good marque to get on your budget
