hm.. but i don't wanna plug it into pc..

so a speaker itself won't do.. and if possible don wan too big / bulky also.. if wan optimized sound quality have to put where in the room? i hope the bigger heavier ones can hide under table or something at the corner then the speakers can put around the room.. does the placement affect the sound surround alot? something like mayb can put data file and play.. usb port / cd etc

Miss, just curious is bass important? As for myself, i prefer to lower the sub and use low vol when i doze off to music.

Im not sure what is the best solution for you, you can consult hifi shop. But i have a rough idea what you can try but you should ask hifi shop if there is better solution.

You dont want to use pc, do you have other source? CD player, Ipod, etc.

I got this idea from my friend's dad's office's reception area. My idea is you buy a cheap integrated amp which able to support 2 zone. eg Cambridge Audio Topaz AM10. Then you get those rear speaker ppl use home theater. eg. Wharfedale Diamond 10.dfs. These speaker are more non directional and give the surround feel of music. You can get 4, but if you worry about the sound, maybe get 2 first. I didnt suggest in wall speakers because im sure you cant and wont make a hole in ur wall/ceiling.. lol This amp is cheap i believe is just 1000+++ not sure but you can get a quote from forumer HTKAKI. You would still need a source, hopefully you got ipod. If you dont like those speaker, maybe you can look into satellite speakers like suggested by E1.

This setup will not have much bass because you dont want bookshelf, your bmb is more of karaoke speaker and is bigger than normal bookshelf. Side note, if you really get 4 speaker on a weak amp, not recommend you drive them to loudly, might spoilt ur amp.

Check out this link for another product called CD receivers, they are cd player with built in amp and can suport pendrive. http://www.marantz.eu/en/category/cd_receiver/ Please do your own research on what format they can play and expect to pay more for these

planning to get a new/used front speaker.
to match with my 'old' harman kardon AV amp...
priority music....HT secondary...
budget 1-1.5k..
pls recommend.
Thanks.
+ is it recommended to buy used speakers..? tq..

if the used speaker is a well known brand and still in good condition then yes

Check out Monitor Audio Bronze series, PSB, Mission M31i or M32i, Tannoy, Wharfedale Diamond 10.1

thx dlyz.. yea i got ipod..

but does the source make a big diff? ipod is just very normal source.. i mean quality shud b just so-so?

Hi Guys,

I got an offer which is a pair of B&W DM602 S3 speaker for GBP 185. Is that a good deal? I know this model has a really good rating but have nt got a chance to test it out yet. Any suggestion?

Cheers

At that price, I would grab it without a second thought!

Canadian speaker.

Any idea how PSB compare with other you list here?? Is PSB the cheapest among these brand?

Okay ! GRab Grab ! By the way, How much does it cost in Malaysia?

Source is important. But i feel for your setup, it should be ok because your not really going for very accurate setup. Lots of headfi kaki use ipods as source. Just make sure ur mp3 is of high quality or better yet... lossless


Thanks for pointing it out. Hmm ive only heard praises for PSB at their price point but i never audit b4.

Since you are using AV amp, you need to check whether it could drive 4ohm spkrs or not since there are many that can't. This way, you will not end up buying spkrs that your amp can't drive.

You need to check the condition of used spkrs. Better to audition before parting money with it.

Ummm, this question might sound a little silly....but I just have to ask.
Where can I find dealers of electrostatic speakers, in Malaysia? What sort of price will I expect to see?

Not buying one, of course, I know they're expensive. I just want to know how much and where, so I can have a look, and possibly audition one some day.

Hi all, i extremely interest on playing Hi-Fi but totally new on this world, so please recommend me full set of stereo system for an entry level (CD player, Stereo Amp, and 2.0 Bookshelf speaker) and my budget will around RM2500, thanks~

Martin Logan. There is a shop in Plaza Damas; Tech AV S/B. Prepare 5 figures for a decent one. Also, it needs very good care too due to to our climate condition.



What sort of brands that you have in mind?

Cool, thx.
Have to fly over there though.

Please Recomend me a Hifi system? or maybe HTib? Budget is around RM4k only... will put inside room, which is quite small room...

Hey guys anyone here can recommend a decent hi-fi package/brand? Amp + speakers, either 5.1/7.1 system. My family will be spending like 70% on music, 30% on movie.

The room is in rectangle shape & will have like 20-25 feet of glass windows one side. This is something to take into consideration as I think it affect the sound. So prefer to pick speakers that fit these environment.


Package A = budget RM10k

Package B = Budget RM15K


Thanks. Really newbie in this field.

Since it is leaning towards music, I suggest you go for Marantz av receiver which is quite a performer when it comes to stereo. Onkyo, Yamaha, Pioneer and even Denon av receiver do not make the cut in stereo when pit against Marantz.

It will be good if you have the layout so that we know how to place the speakers and whether 7.1 is ideal or not.

PM me if you need any assistance
