QUOTE(mpyw @ Apr 14 2010, 08:26 AM) Bro, the Orbs only have 1 model lar...that's the Mod1 (single unit), 1 unit become Mod2 and so on You would be surprise how loud it can play for it's small size and using as a surround is very good, only complaint is that it cant go too low so my LFE xover have to cut off at 100-120Hz (recommended is 120Hz but I set mine at 100Hz)  yea ... now I know after going thru their website yesterday. thanks for the feedback. have to think about this one. QUOTE(scsoo @ Apr 14 2010, 11:45 AM) i think the KEFs will get HM's approval. they sound great too. http://kef.com/en/surroundsound/kht

QUOTE(htkaki @ Apr 13 2010, 11:25 PM) Heard Marantz SR5004 is available.. price wise think its almost the same with Denon 1910 right? Marantz got pre-out and curious how this matches the klipsch? Or Denon 1910 the better choice?

It is entry level system which is good enough for normal movie watching. If to get SVS sub, even the entry level, I am afraid that it will overpowers the speakers with ease  . To have SVS in there, you have to get a better entry level speaker system.

Depending on how loud that you crank the volume and how hot that you run the sub.
Not necessary to go for a full SVS setup. You still can go for other brands to partner with it. In US, Klipsch, PSB, B&W, Axiom, etc are being partnered with SVS.
You only need to match its series. If 12-Plus, then you need to have midrange loudspeakers system such as PSB Imagine, Klipsch Ref IV series and so forth.

Yes, bipole or dipole would be ideal for 5.1 system as it is able to disperse sound wider than conventional direct radiating speaker.

Bro, a satelite will never ever outperform a floorstander due to physics  . The MS will outshine it by a considerable margin with ease due to its dual 6.5" woofer as well as its volume.

This is a universal rule: SIZE does MATTER. Ask your wife, she prefer big or small.

ooohhhhh! sorry! i am a real noob when it comes to sound system, be it cars or AV lol! i've compared the specs for both the RPW-10 and M-S Carnival 9. Carnival 9 frequency response is between 25Hz - 150Hz, and the RPW-10's 35-120Hz +/-3dB. this means the Carnival one can give better boom boom pow effects right? but the RPW-10 power is rated at 200 watts whilst the Carnival's only 100 watts? i'm confused about these two. i'm budgeting for my house stuffs [ on which i'll only start spending middle of next year onwards ] from now on. i'll open up a new thread here about it so that it won't clutter this thread. be warned, too many silly questions from a real noobie lol!
