Hi all, i am shopping for a set of Sonus Faber Concertino Home. Anyone knows what's the market price for new/used ones in KL?

I listen to Jazz Vocals, Blues, Pop Rock. What amp do you guys think would pair up well with the Concertino? My budget for amp is around RM3,000.  I will not invest in a new CD Player, i'll just stick to my Akira DVD palyer for now  .

Currently i'm using HT system (RX-V450, NS-7390) to listen to my musics, so i think a set of stereo hi-fi will bring significant improvement to the sound  .

Comments are welcome and appreciated.

Cheers,
Case

my advice to u is to change your choice of getting the sonus. sonus tend to sound a bit warm. i bet your valve set might sound warm too. so warm + warm u will get very hot   u get what i mean. try get speakers whick is neutral sounding. that way u wont get too warm sound out of your set

I know what u mean - but a solid stand is almost as important to good bookshelf speakers (some lightweight [IKEA] stands suck bass)

lets look at the DAC this way it's job is to separate the transport from the conversion - as long as it's getting a good digital stream with no errors, it should do fine; u need to chat with Yeo specifically about MonicaII but there not that many you can get for that price.

Anyone knows how much is QED Qunex P75 interconnect??..........Any good recommendations for digital coaxial cable ?

Dear mod and pro kakis out there, if you find my post to be deemed useless or disturbing, please delete it or move it to oblivion

Ok here it is, after some time discussing with a very helpful mod, scotty, i have decided to venture into the audiophile world and ditch multimedia speakers!!

Erm, but i have decided on buying these stuff, but i need some help.
For a CD player, i would wana get something not 2 cheap but can play from HDCD to SACD to XRCD, like a AIO CD-player, and i particularly liked the Marantz CD5400..

For an amplifier, i've decided to get Audiotrak's DR AMP which should be around SGD150-180.. Or get myself a Sonic T-amp (if i can).

For the speakers, i have searched high and low and this is what i have managed to find out.. 2nd hand d la.. bolded ones are d ones i like

AE Aegis Evo 1
KEF Q15
Wharfdale 70th Annivesary Speakers
Mission 760i
KEF Cresta 3
Wharfedale Laserrange
Paradigm Atoms
Infinity Primus II 160
Mordaunt Short 902
NHT Super Zero
Monitor Audio B1
Wharfedale Diamond 3

But i dunno what to look out for speakers.. the THD? The impedance? The frequency range? But personally i don't like too much bass as i tend to like instrumental, classical, performance (yahor i need bass for drums), new age, vocals... or u guys could recommend me some? My budget around SGD300++ for new one..

Btw i live in quite a small room onli, but there is space for speakers placement.. so i would like a not to heavy set (speakers) <15kg..

Another things is i wana ask about is what is burn-in? (i onli know cpu burn-in or ram burn-in, but hifi burn in is how?)
Another fact is that what kind of cables must i use to notice the difference? Give me examples of some exa cheap but good ones.. decent la..

So please help me out ya!!!
Thanks

Best regards.. (btw i m buyin from Sg coz i studyin there)

htkaki, i live in rasah jaya one.. haha!!
Siriuslycold, i believe u should b a very active member at echoloft or vr-zone? Haha.. dunno.. anyway thanks for the opinions guys!!
I just got an offer for the Infinity Prius II 160, seems like new unit around <$300, should be a good buy..
How about it? Wat kind of amps should i buy? (preferably small ones)
I'm not going into HT (lol i am 18this year studying at JC le), but will b going into audio monitoring/recording.. so wat would u guys recommened? like wat types of cable/interconnects (wat's this?)..

Valve? Gulp.. told ya!! I am a student onlie.. getting onli like 200 dollars per month for allowance with no support from parents at all.. all from S'pore government .. wat u expect?
I love music.. that's all and i want nice music..

bump **********

i'm trying to decide whether i should go with the wharfdale diamond 9.1 or some other set, possibly quad 11L which is considerably pricier or the Eltax Liberty. anyone have comments on these? probably going to get a ok amp like the NAD (cant afford much else) to go along with it.

Hi,

newbie here.

i got a apir of 2nd Mission M733i floorstand speaker....

anyone can suggest what is the stereo amp to pair with...

budget around RM 1200

thx

@htkaki..  Tannoy Ellipse 10..  dual concentric driver + Super Tweeter..

Studio monitor..  too flat.. normally cannot satisfy Hi-Fi Audiophile..  coz too flat..  but do have people like studio monitor..

@htkaki.. it is big..the center driver is 10"  .. there is a 8" version too..

Wah... HTKaki... warm or cool vocal also can differential,  very Sifu..Sifu liao.     

I'm going to HK on business next week and do u know any nice places can audition Hifi and HT in HK?  the AE900 promotion price  that u mentioned very attractive, but too bad, no bonus this yr.

Yeap, I think MI is the pana dealer

htkaki, pls pm the contact/info of this unbelievable offer!!! 
BTW, is the offer for a limited period only and comes with extra lamp?
