i m looking for a hifi set around rm200. basically i will use it for radio receiving purpose. i got a good speaker with me for my pc. do you think i should get myself a hifi or just normal radio will do? if hifi around rm200, any recommendation? and can recommend any radio (at a reasonable price) if possible?

wat's the difference between marantz cdp 5400 and the new 5001 actually? since 5001 is meant to replace 5400, can i assume that 5001 have a better quality? but i think both have same functions.

if i'm goin to choose either one, which one to go with? becoz the price diferent is about 2 to 3 hundreds right?

thanks for the link.
it looks like gold in color in that review, but i think there's only 2 colors in the spec, black and silver. maybe some lighting effect.

Do you think it's good to match marantz CDP with NAD or some other branded amp like CA or Rotel?

AVJ

you would need a AV receiver with pre-outs on the main L/R channel, and conect that to your stereo amp inputs. (pre-in, or AUX input on an integrated)

If the stereo amp is an integrated amp then maybe you can connect a CD player direct to it, but controlling the volume level between AV and stereo is a problem.

The other way is to use the AVR as a pre-amp and let it control the volume.

Thanks for the feedback. If that's the case, i'd prefer not to mix them up. 2 separate system should be fine.

my room is now under renovation, thinking whether to use carpet or laminating flooring. i think carpet should be better for audio but a little difficult to maintain. it gets dirty easily. any advice?? huh.gif

Back to speaker issue. 9.1, B2 and 902i r safe bets. depend on your taste of music. B2 is slightly more expensive while price of 9.1 and 902i should be about the same although in WHF, 902i is cheaper than 9.1.
went to AV Fair, B2 was sold at RM860. eyerule, how much u got yours?

have heard the 902i. quite like it coz sounds really open and clear just as described in WHF. but i don think you can push them too hard, looks like ladies.

SiriuslyCold, any idea how much the 902i costs in singapore? and where to get them? if cheap, might get them there. and any way to avoid tax?

no one noticed the B2 during AVfair? but according to him that price is meant for AV Fair only. and they offered only few pairs, after that it goes back to normal.

Read the WHF august 06, Azur no longer the best, taken over by rotel 05. however azur and marantz remains 4 starers. next issue will have a supertest on budget speakers!! can the MS 902i maintains its positiion?
