Hi guys can anyone recommend me a good Home Theatre system for me?Main purpose would be for watching movies and shows,I rarely play games on my TV.My budget will be around less than RM1000,the cheaper the price the better though I know the cheaper it goes,the sound will be lower quality as well

Rm1300 could get you Edifier S550

if not then go for Edifier DA5000PRO or Edifier HCS5640

I think he will want those DTS, surround stuff for movies, better you stick with HTIB in the market. Samsung, philips and even sony does give decent system within 1K. But don expect too much.

Edifier might have better SQ but will lack of the surround sound decoding capability.
Anyway this thread should be in Home Entertainment and not in here.

Ah yea HTIB would be good too,but it will come with a DVD player with it,but I'm also gonna get a separate Blu-ray player,so what to do with the DVD player?

And yea guess I should have opened it there,but I thought it was more suitable here

i don't think 1K can get a decent HT without DVD player...all sub 1K HT setup comes with a DVD player. Saw SONY's HT only system RRP RM1,999 at their website. That might be a good bet for ur purpose, but over ur budget. Maybe got christmas sales now...just shop around.

Ah actually I wouldn't mind if it comes with a DVD player actually But I want to get a separate BD player

I just bought sony dvd hone theater davtz130 at melaka home deco expo, I got promo price .. maybe I want to sell it if got good offer

Exactly how much u bought it for bro?

I won't suggest that. Not a good idea, coz those DVD HT comes with very limited input (max maybe 1 optical input) and can't decode DTS-MA or Dolby TrueHD.

You might as well buy a BD HT system around RM2K as well, which will decode all the Bluray audios properly. Around RM2K++.

Now this makes sense i wonder why i can't play bluray movies with HD sound via my LG DVD HTIB. Lol . TS, you gotta consider what Matrix mention about getting BD HTIB system. You'll be regret when you cannot fully enjoy while watching bluray movie with only Dolby and DTS sound.

i got it for rm 299 for lining for first 5customer at melaka homedec... bluray player also i got for that price...so total damage rm600 plus tired for standing in line..... so if got good offer i will let go...heh

Yea I did think of getting a Blu-Ray Home Theatre System as it will suit what I want,but it's hell lot of expensive I think I will just get a BD player then,no need to get a home theatre The TV speakers will do I guess

As long as you are not particular about sound, anything will be fine.

Yea I think I prefer better picture quality over sound

hahaha,same as me before,prefer better picture quality over sound but a months later watched good movies but sound from tv ,no kick.after that looking for used av amp and 5.1 speakers about 1.5 k.haha,nice movies with DTS sound totally different feeling, its just my experienced that i like to share with u

1. Think of your budget first.
2. Who wouldn't want a better system..hah?
3. No matter how decent the system you purchased, at the end you just can't find yourself satisfied with what u have.
4. Couple years later, those 'decent' gadgets you having will be 'outdated'

So, just buy the one which suits you & enjoy as early as you can. Cheers

Haha don't tempt me 1.5K,totally out of my budget


My budget is below RM1k only

If you know your stuff, willing to take some chances, try going for 2nd stuff. It will surely sound better than most fancy looking HTiB out there.

Something basic like this

There are some systems in the lowyat garage sale as well.

But always never trust them especially from Mudah..always do background checks....and you need to go there to audition the stuff.
Things might look good in the pictures, but the real thing might be different...

Ask for at least one week personal warranty cash back if it doesn't work as it should.
And when you carry back the AVR be extra careful as for old stuff the electronic components or solder joint sometimes fail due to shock and vibrations

That will set you up nicely..a year or two later, can upgrade to HD audio, better subs, speakers and AVR.. etc

Not many ppl can shell out Rm3~4K to get a nice system. Spend on what you can afford..and think abt upgrading later on...there is always room to grow in the future.

Good Luck

Sorry but I don't really want to buy 2nd hand,especially electrical things some more

I was just looking around for a good enough HTIB like LG or Sony,those around RM1000 or less,I'm no audiophile,so not really concerned much about sound,so for now I think the TV speakers will do,or I might get one of those 5.1 PC speakers to be used with the TV,should be good enough

the new sony soundbar is only rm999, comes with a subwoofer also. go check it out.
