i saw that just now also, thinking to buy, hope to see some review. eh, how come that sales didn't recommend u the monster cable priced at RM586? i think i might get that optional sub which he told me 1k+

i'm more interested with the Pioneer VSX-917V becoz it come with subwoofer. the roger subwoofer come with it cost nearly RM1k becoz last time I saw this one Sony HT, one with SW price R12xx and other one without SW price RM21xx.... and the SW are same, brand Rogers....
but haven't read about any review on this Pioneer AVR... that why still hold from buying it...huhuhuh

If possible, avoid Roger sub and get other sub such as Wharfy SW150

I am having this problem with my tube amp, i suspect teh problem do comes with my power suply, coz i using the normal plug, no filter nothing, I suspect. and Pls try to clean up ur amp, less dust = less charge

Any recommendation what amplifier to paired with monitor audio br2??

not to be too-pricey amp...

thx all the sifus..

Alrdy bought Bronze BR 2 ? should audit speaker with amp together.

my fren bought...just ask for opinion^^

just for ur info
i try before BR2 with a FU12 tube amp
sound really weird totaly not smooth
i think may be the speaker match batter with a solid amp
thx~

oo...thx for ur opinion!

For a starter, u can try soundstage 1.5 which is a hybrid. after u are bored with the sound, get a pair of Mullard/telefunken tubes and mod the solid state to 55W. that will give u a booost to hifi.

soundstage 1.5 about rm 1.4k. get mullard tubes for rm 400 then get a good power cable for rm 400.enufflaa no need to upgrade to se.these addition will make difference already. i have soundstage 1.5 before.with mullard tube...good details, hooked up with supra power cable more solid sound, then upgraded to se (for rm 400) better soundstage.that amp sold already i believe amp is very important to your system.
i used to listen ma br 2 with stock soundstage.very good with that give price on amp or you can try solid state amp like marantz,nad or cambridge audio.
also try to get good entry level cd player like marantz cd 6002 at rm 1.4k.also you can use any cheap cd player and get zero dac (look for zero dac thread)this dac is very keng at cheap price.but sold already
you need to try first mate, hybrid amp or solid state amp...then you decidelaa what to buy.
also you need a good speaker stand for ma br2 for about rm 350.
amcorp mall(gots many hi shop there), desa lowyat, tong lee are some good place for you to go.

Need Budget Stereo Integrated Amp with phono Input
Budget RM1000 only :-(

for simple general purpose audio listening (classical, metal, 80's pop, opera)

with that budget you go for second hand item, if you don't mind.
please check at hifi4sale.blog a lot of second hand item overthere.
metal and classic......then better go solid state amp.

Hi guys, is 3k - 3.5k a good budget for a good hifi? (speakers , amp & cables)

And can give some comment and price estimates on this setup:

1. Mission M30i, Mission M3AS, Marantz CR401

2. Mission M31i, Mission M3AS, Marantz CR401

How do you think this speaker, sub and the cd player sound?

Thanks for help. Im noob at hifi, but want to pursue it as my passion.

As u already have so much of budget i think u can consider Floor stand speaker like m35i
and try out some different type of amp and speaker before buying
so u know more wht type of sound u like
and if u list out the type of music u like and wht type of sound u expect for
it is much easier for the sifu here to gv u recomendation
thx~~

Thanks for advice.

Floor standers ah, how much are the range of those? I live in a town where hifi shops only have sonys, etc and if u want anything good need to order in.

For me, i listen to many genre. Im not sure so let me list out some my fav artists: Leona Lewis, Eagles, Eminem, Jay Chou, Ayumi Hamasaki, Utada Hikaru, TM Revolution, Evanescence, etc. Basically a lot of anime, kdrama, jdrama ost. Vocal, Rap, Crunk, RnB also quite a lot.

I like clarity over overpowering bass, but i still like a heart shaking bass.

I can feel you, dlyz as I knew some forummers here from Sarawak. Very limited choice over there and aint cheap too.

Ya, thats why need to do our homework before choosing and need rely on sifus like u guys to help us. I even might plan to purposely go KL just to audition hifi shops one day.

So anyone can give comment on my questions?

I listen to music without a subwoofer. I never like a subwoofer to begin with. My suggestion is that you get a floorstander since you do like a heart shaking bass. Have a listen to the Mission range of floorstanders or get a little adventurous and try to find a used TDL RTL2 or TRL3 speakers. Otherwise, try to find any floorstanders with high sensitivity, easy to drive and fun to listen to.

Erm.. I don't quite fancy the Marantz CR401. CD Receiver? Hmm.. Better get a separate amplifier and CD player.
The cables can come in later..
