Onkyo TX-SR606 got factory problem Any1 bought tis amp yet ..... care to comment ? Thzx

Hi All,

I am looking for a set of bookshelf hi-hi speaker. Currently I own a Cambridge Audio Azur 340A Amp.

I was considering Cambridge Audio S30 Bookshelf speaker as it fits my budget (RM900 - RM1200).

Can anyone recommend me any other bookshelf-type speaker which fit my budget ? I do not want to trust the shopkeeper alone.

Thanks.

Dear all brother， please comment and tell me is Krell KAV-400xi sound good？

That was told by the Desa Home Salesman, wasn't sure how true. Found Polk Audio speakers in Harvey Norman Pavilion too. But I just ended up with this Onkyo system http://www.e-onkyo.com/goods/detail.asp?cg...0HDB&ictg_no=12. It supported 2.1 surround and featured ports for the 5.1 surround expansion in the future.

Been very satisfied with the sound performance for my PS3, Xbox 360, DVD player and Astro from this unit.

Helloooo Bro, you shd look at the Sonus Faber thread. You can spend time reading there.

oh i see， anyway maybe here can get some comment from expert as well。

ever heard of USHER s520? bang for bucks. small speaker but gd enough. however dun expect too much of a bass. shall fit in nicely to your budget.

USHER brand speaker,nice.

Thanks to those who reply, may I know where can I buy this brand ?

Cheers.

Here you go.. CMY Audio & Visual

Ah thanks..this is the shop I bought my CA Azur 340A from...friendly manager at Sunway Pyramid branch..

Cheers.

friendly.....i am not too sure abt the PJ branch but i can assured, price at CMY can be steep. Sgpcan be cheaper if i am not wrong. try X audio at Bukit Timah.
how much id usher s-520 retailing at in CMY?

Can someone who has experiece with this 3 speakers tell me the general comparison of sound signature of these 3 speakers and whether they are hard to push and which is more powerful (i know quality more important but there are time where i just wanna jump up and dance ) (Im using for stereo music and currently seriously considering Rotel RA-04)

1. Monitor Audio BR2
2. Mission M33i (I have tried the M31i before, love it but think its a bit weak for my room)
3. Mourdant-Short 904i

Side question, would adding a subwoofer into the above be good for music? (Rotel>Sub>Speaker setup)
Anyone got any review for RA-04?

Thanks in advance.

i had try RA-04 on my mordaunt short carnival 2 a while in the shop before may be the room is too big feeling not my cup of tea
no much bass vocal not sweet enought, a little bit harsh on high..
if pair with rotel may be BR2 is a good choice?
i am looking for naim nait 5i,audio space,matranz pm6002,pioneer a-a6
any sifu know where got demo them and recommented which to get for pop and jazz?
thx in advance oso~

Wharfedale diamond 9.1...one of the best bookshelf speakers

Oic, anybody else can comment?

whats your room size..i prefer floorstanding rather than bookshelf+sub setup...why not try some floorstanding speaker..the bass extension is more control and easy to setup compare to bookshelf+sub..

my dua sen..

My room is proly about 5m x 5m more or less. Thats why i was thinking bookshelf is too small.

it depand on what types of music do you listen to ? but i don't think sub is necessary for music listening. 2ch stereo speaker is sufficient.
personally i listen to vocals, jazz, and country rock.

my combination is valve amplifier, rega apollo cd player and lately acquired a pair Harbeth speaker and no fancy cables.
