waste of time. So crowded and everyone moves like a herd of cows, slowly and in a line. When one wants to exit also cannot, they have to follow like a cow right till the end, few floors later.

Stair cases leading to other floors sometimes stink with incosiderate people smoking.

Some AV rooms also, got people smoke in the toilet. How come JW Marriot allow this?

The many times I went with my buddies and wife, we were at relax mind and stroll room after room to observe, listen & blend into the fair.
We went up and down twice last year (re-enter after good lunch at the Pavilion) and the joy of experiencing with mid to high end systems keep smoke / cow's story out of our minds.
Managed to get my wife a free 2Gb Philip MP3 last year when signed up for Hardware Zone Magazine and plan to get something again this year.

Yes, I do remember seeing some lost cows who could not find the best toilet at the lower ground floor.
On smoke, where in KL / PJ that you cannot find people smoke at side / emergency staircase or toilet?

Mai Kai Tan, you gave good comments and rest assure that I'll let the organiser know so something could be done to improve the situation.

Gotta admit that I'm surprised by the amount of negativity that is being put out by some with regards to the AV show. I can understand that in a lot of cases Malaysia has things more expensive than others but having an AV show is not only about cheap stuff guys. Its a way for manufacturers and retailers to showcase under one roof new models, new gadgets, and clear some old stuff. Contrary to popular belief, home AV is not as lucrative business as many of you out there believe. Granted, some make fantastic money out of it, but so do other businesses alike.

End of the day, just like all businesses, they are there to generate revenue and pay the bills. Some more so than others. This coupled with all the rants about us getting substandard stuff. Things are improving, a couple of years ago, not many in Malaysia heard about SVS, Mark Seaton and other small success stories. With the wide spread of internet literacy, the public is more knowledgeable. So, like all things, be patient. Our tax laws are as they are, our tax laws. Different countries have different rules, thats the fact.

Just like any other country, there is room for improvement. Hey, unlike some of u out there, this is the only country for me to call home at the moment, I'm just going to make the best of it and see what I can do to improve it. My way, is to give people advice based on data and opinions on the various products...what about u?

Improvement??? I see. Maybe the organiser is charging RM10 entrance fee to deter more smokers / cows from showing up at the show???
South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world, and I would not advise people not to go see the World Cup there???

As long as there are international brands and products showcase, KLIAV shall keep the "international" word and I am proud that such event come to our door step. Seeing, observing and listening to the systems is the only testimony I can tell my ears which system is the best; just like wine, "The Best Wine Is Still The Wine That You Like Best" (irrespective of price, mid or high end).

to me sony 3d is the best among all the 3d led tv that i see on the shows.
*
3D spectacles were a plenty at Sony show area and there are 4 screens on 3D demo i.e. Worldcup / Football (with Shakira), 3D Game, Fish / Ocean & Scenery.
Next to Sony, Pana concentrated on large screen 85" (RM148,000) + 105" (??) and Full HD projectors; minimal on 3D (1 screen).
Shame to Sammy who only display multiple combined displays for commercial use (next to Saony & Pana.)

Our successful shopping list includes:
(1) 2 Units of ONKYO TX-SR608 (Best deal from the entire fair; cannot reveal to protect Vendor)
(2) 2 Pairs of EPOS ELS 303 Floorstanding speakers (Offered at RM920/pair)
(3) Couple of Bluray Discs selling at RM60 each.
(4) Sony Bluray player ( could not remember model)
(5) Couple of black albums which are rare to find nowdays.

FYI, we spent 6 hours at the fair and have not come across people smoking at the stairs (so minimal smoke smell also).
We do not see people queuing like cows at the lift but notice happy / anxious faces waiting in orderly manner.
Skip the HWM freebies of Ipod Speaker Dock + Mouse.

Favorite demo at the fair :
(No.1 Concert) David Foster follow by Celine Dion (Vegas Concert)
(No.1 Movie) Avatar and none noticeable at No.2
(No. 1 Vocal) Tsai Ching (saw only 2 Concerts)

Got 2 pairs of Epos ELS 303 and the ELS3C center for a super duper price.
Now my 5 speakers all from 1 make.
Hope it will improve the surround ambience.

Me too. Took delivery of my 2 pairs of ELS 303 yesterday and already hookup to my TX SR-Onkyo 608.
Plan to get the Center Speaker & Sub-woofer from Epos AVS 5.1 system to match.
Initially wanted to get the AVS 5.1 but after hearing the demo, grab the ELS 303 and now safe more than RM1,000.

Who say KLIAV has no bargain???? There were two units of Pioneer VSX-918 (HDMI) going at RM999 only.

How about a brief review?
How big is your room and what center are you using now?
Is there an improvement over your previous set-up?
*
My AV/PC room is about 22 x 14 but half is used for my two PCs, facing the TV.
I was using Bose Acoustimass 2.1 previously matched with Pioneer VSX-933 AV receiver; with good vocal.
Overall, Bose vocal still excel but when come to Bluray concert / movie, the new setup is way ahead.
My Medexer PMP start to show some audio potential now and cables are almost game (except HDMI).
Still on Budget / Entry mode but start with a bang / value system with established brand and latest tech i.e. Onkyo 608.
