Alright, thanks a lot!

Any nice HTiB 5.1 to recommend under a 1k budget?

just go to TESCO, GIANT or any supermarket to shop around, there are a lot under 1k.

Look out for those small small HTiB on Panasonic brand. My dad bought it for his Xtreamer, not bad for the size. Lots of noise... hahahaha

A lot of noise.. as in static noise? Or the speaker cukup kuat?

let's put it this way,... normal home user will find it ok... but for AV-kaki... they prefer better quality(clarity) than quantity(kuat/noise).

Since budget is limited, this could be the only choice for now, unless you tahan and save more cash to get better system.

Just found out the Dune HD Max

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1397286/+40

can support 7.1 analog. However, the price is a bomb.

The cheapest Analog 7.1 support is Dune 3.0 base.

Actually, if you are going to setup a new system, I wouldn't go for the Analog system as it will bypass all except the basic speaker settings.
You are better off running HD audio from the HDMI to a AVR that is HD audio capable.

Those Analog 7.1 is for those ppl who already have an all skool AVR (that has multiple in) who still wanna enjoy HD audio without the need to change to a new amp...but as I say, the setting options are limited to the very basic example volume,delay, distance, height and small/big. You will not be able to do more advance setting like Tone control, or Presence, Night Mode, fancy effects are all bypass.
So, if you buy a monster all skool AVR that has 101 effects, by using the Multiple Analog in, the effect features will be wasted.

Yeah, limited budget...but if i am TS i'll rather save up more money...at least RM2K to get a dedicated HTIB (without all those built-in DVD players). At least, this will be more decent...those sub RM1K HTIB ....really...sounds like milo tin kosong to me....
