Hi all sifus,

I saw this yamaha receiver Rx-v367 selling for 1190 in Harvey Norman. Is this price ok? How about its performance? Any other suggestion beside this for a receiver below rm 1.2k ?

This model does't support HD audio like DTS-HD or TrueHD

Hmm,

After some survey, I found out the price from Harvey Norman is a bit overprice, some more the salesman "tipu" me and said this is a special price. Others are selling at RM990 only.

I saw another model, Onkyo TX SR507 at RM1299, I believe this has DTS-HD, what you guys think?

Which HN branch is this? Who's the salesman?

Have you considered the RX-V467 instead?

Dunno who is the salesman, don't bother to remember his name . Hahaha, HN is in QB, penang.

RX-V467, what is the price? BTW, I am a total noob in this audio thingy, in fact I am using a very old speakers and I don't even know what is the brand ( since this is given for free from my uncle). The speaker contain no brand, the only tag I can find is "Sound Innovation" in front of each speaker ( I doubt this is even a brand, right?) and a sticker behind the speaker written the model as

Model: LS -300 ( 10' Double woofer 3 ways speaker)
Frequency response: 35hz to 20Khz
Sensitivity : 90 db/1w/1M
Maximun Power
Handling: 300 Watts ( Rms)
Impedance: 8 Ohm
Serial No: 3005879

Design & engineering in USA

Anyone have any idea what is this model? Is this a good speaker? If this speaker is not up to today's standard, perhaps it is high time to change the speakers as well.

HN Penang I think our bro Azxel bought his Yammy 467 there. Maybe he can shed some light on this.

In my limited journey in Hi Fi, two important lessons I learn was.

1. New thing not always good. Old thing not always bad.
2. If is sounded good, then it is good. Don't bother too much with what others may say or what you read in reviews.

Thanks for the answer!!

Hmm, it is not I have anything against old stuff, but just that I am interested to know if the speaker spec given is good enough for today's tech and what is the brand, cause there are no brand written in the Speaker, only the model no# is given and my Uncle already pass away, so I am unable to find out more from him.

Hope some of you able to point out my speaker brand or if the spec is ok.

i use the Onkyo TX SR308.. im satisfy with the sound qualtiy ( im just new in this HT scene)..good performance if compare with value of money spend..

Depends on what sort of equipment. For stuff like decoder, then obviously an old one will not be able to decode newer things like DTS-MA etc. But for stuff like speaker or even CD player whereby technology remains basically unchanged, then it could be different. Or in the case of recording medium, purist and those seeking the highest quality would even go back to those vinyl turntable. And for amplifier, the sound of a valve amplifier often beat the crap out of solid state amplifier when it comes to seductive vocal reproduction.

BTW, if you can still get to talk to your uncle, then I will be very worried

Supernatural?

hehehehe, if i can really get to talk to him, i will ask for a 4 digit. Then, I can buy one of the best system around .

But seriously guys, any idea on the speaker's brand? I try to google around but what I can find is this company by the name of Athena and Bozak associate with this LS-300. Not sure though...

One thing for sure. With cunning wording like this, mostly probably NOT made in USA.

for RM1299, why not consider Pioneer VSX-520?

From what I know, this new model rxv367 already have a lot of improvement from rxv365 version. Previous version don't support video over HDMI and only have 3 HDMI port
