frankly, i'll prefer Yamaha if between Onkyo & Yamaha my old AV Yamaha has been up and running for 15 years .. yet still good & strong.
Now i am using a v1800.

if you really likes to listen to music then i 'll advise you to get an amp for music ONLY likewise Naim Nait, Audio Cambridge, Audio Research, Jadis, Mcintosh and many others. its so much more musical & sounded more mellow.

hi...can someone recommend me a AVR and 5.1 speaker set?

budget around 6k for both...

actually thinking about onkyo 605, anymore others recommendations?
and how about speakers set?

mostly will use it to watch bluray movies and ps3

My recommendation for best bang for the buck set-up :

CD transport : any cheapo DVD player with digital output
DAC : DIY Paradise Monica 3
Passive Preamp : Promitheus Audio TVC
Amp : T-amp like Trends Audio TA 10 or DIY Paradise Charlize 2
Speaker : High efficiency speaker like Loth x BS1

This will give you a taste of the high end at slightly more than RM 5 K

kenkee are you using this setup now ?

bose22, yes for the DAC, passive preamp and T-amp (using old Celestion DL8 Series 2 for speakers and entry level NAD for the CD transport). The Malaysian made DIYParadise and Promitheus Audio products are truly superb and seriously outperforms any similarly priced competitors out there.

hi,

need advice - for floorstanding speakers, less 2k....

hmm
how bout those bundle like
jamo n onkyo 606??? was quoted around 5k..
issit nice and worth it?
or u guys think theres better(cheaper yet more good) sound production than jamo ?
u guys know how much i cud get onkyo 606 in pj or kl ??
any idea how much singapore is selling? (heard it cud be cheaper than malaysia)

Any recommendation for under RM4k for songs and music?

hi,

am planning to get an av receiver, stereo speakers and subwoofer mainly for gaming and watching hd movies. i plan to connect ps3, xbox 360 and pc to the av receiver so i need one with at least 3 hdmi ports.

i have visited two shops in amcorp and i was recommended:


shop 1:
denon 1909 av receiver - rm2800
mezzo 2 standmount speakers - rm2200
yamaha YST-SW515 subwoofer - rm1200



shop 2:
cambridge audio azur 640r - rm4.2k
ae neo series 1 speakers 1200
ae neo sub subwoofer- rm2200



i understand i am not comparing apple to apple but i didn't have much time to browse today and i plan to mix and match. also, i plan to get rear speakers later for a surround system but right now i rather spend more money on a good pair of speakers and subwoofer.

any suggestion is most welcome.

thanks.

hi everyone,

newbie here, i am thinking to replace my broken harmon/kardon hk695 speaker with aego m or a pair of bookshelf speaker.

I have an aging Proton Integrated Amplifier AM-452, so with a budget of around rm700, should i just settle for AE Aego M or consider a pair of bookshelf speaker to pair with the old amplifier? I listen music mainly form pc or ipod.

Any advice?

2. creative 5700 (hard to find)
3. creative ddts 3500

i'm searching for a 5.1 speakers with optical input
budget aroudn 500-600

pls help me out thanks

Onkyo 606 , previously i see many units in Harvey Normal, Ikano.
perhaps you can check out there.

Onkyo 606 is belong to Home Threatre system, i don't think its ideal for HiFi Stereo for music enjoyment.

yea ive checked in harvey norman,..just tat the price i guess is marked up too high..
was wondering any places cud provide similar combination wit better price?

high as in ? previously i was quoted roughly estimated rm2600-2800.
i think yr best bet will be Harvey Norman or SenQ as i don't see it easily available anywhere else.

I have a HTiB set..with active sub...if i were to buy another receiver such as Onkyo 606..do i still need to change my sub? Would the existing speakers set enough for the new receiver? Thanks

Hi, i was wondering is this product sold as a pair or just 1pc? Which means i need to buy 2 quantity.

thanks bro.

onkyo 606 for 2800? dammit man. US selling for usd360-400 only. Crazy place la malaysia.

looking for something similar to onkyo 606 maybe sony str-dg920 or 820. but wishing it to be nearer 2k than 3k.
anyone can recommend? i wanna know what dts hd sounds like from a bluray.
