Dear all... This newbie is seeking for the perfect recipe to a 10k home theater setup.
All the S?? F??? out there please kindly share your comments...

Budget: RM10,000
Usage: 80% Movie / 20% Music (Mostly new age & pop)
Area: W 12 feet x L 13 feet x H 10 feet

Some equipment that I have auditioned:
KEF iQ60c <-- Very nice center, me like
Mission Mv8 <-- Nice
Mission Mv4 <-- Good rear channel
Wharfdale Diamond 10.6 <-- Like this more than Mv8
Wharfdale wh2 <-- Cheap rear channel
Polkaudio DSWpro600 <-- Gentle bass, with a lot of neat auto tuning settings, good for beginner

Equipment that I want to audition:
SVS PC12-NSD
SVC SCS-01
SVC SBS-01

Some sample recipe for around 10K:
1) Onkyo SR607 + KEF iQ60c + Diamond 10.5 + WH2 + DSWPro600
2) Denon 1910 + SCS-01 x 3 + SBS-01 x 2 + PC12-NSD

Calling people 'Sea Full' or 'See Fool', I think is a recipe for disaster lor ...

my setup bought a few months ago, about 10k

Marantz SR5003
PSB Image T5 floorstand
PSB c5 center
PSB Image B4 Surround
Velodyne Impact 12 sub

What's wrong with...

A sea full of knowledge to see this fool thru his difficult time?
... Don't be so sensitive la brother...

I will take the KEF full set package

inclusive of BD, CD players & PJ??

10k is a superb allocation for HT...

But 10k does it acctually satisfy you cause you could be poisoned over and over again if you see new things comes in..

I dont get it..

Why would u wan to mix n match de front channels? Unless u r on a strict budget..
Diff surrs ar ok la..

D

10k is nothing leh but for sure a good start

Remy can only buy a "Single" left speaker with 10k

Hi all, the reason for the first rojak recipe is because i can get everything at the same place, and their price is quite good.

Currently favor the... Denon + KEF speakers + SVS woofer...
SVS woofer can only test after chinese new year, the prospective show room is under renovation.

Velodyne Impact 12 sub <-- Heard some nice things about this sub, can test at a shop in sungai wang, I think?

Any other woofer, amp worth checking out?
Thanks

p.s. ya... and i agree that 10k is not much... to a serious audiophile... but that's what i can afford now...

I agree with both SIFU's

Your getting your svs from htkaki?

wkw7889, have you got your HT system already? Pls show us of your setup.

Thanks for all for the great help and advice.
Especially HTKAKI & KUCHINGTIGER...

After many months of research and survey and auditioning...
My final purchase:
KEF iQ10+60c+70
SVS PC12-NSD
Marantz SR6004

(Yup... I blew my original budget... hehe... )

From the look at what you finally gotten, look like you blow budget quite big
Happy is the shop in SS2 as think he gotten most of the blown budget....
And we got another KEF + Marantz user here... with SVS to go boom boom....
