Can really recommend one to u as I dont know ur preferred brands or what u have in mind for ur setup. There are a lot of good shops around.

if I have 20k just for AV system excluding TV. What could be the best AV combo I should get? I have no experience in HT customization before. So just want to listen to your recommendations before I go and try out.

B&W 6 series spkrs / KEF iQ and Denon AVR-3806 / Yamaha 2600 wld be a good combo. For RM20K, there are a lot of choices for HT.

most probably will take pioneer as my receiver ...
5.1 spkrs maybe klipsch or elac ...

did u hear b4 a shop named A&L ?

Yep, in Sg Wang plaza. I bought CDs from them.

ya

went there once, the ppl there r quite friendly but nvr compare their price 2 others ... is it a good shop 2 get a set of ht system ??

Cant comment on that as it will lead to bias viewpoint. Btw, each Hi-Fi shop has its good deals of selected brands as some of them are the sole distributors.

which brand is better in music listening ?? if movie watching then which brand ?? category 1.5k - 2k ..

Whoa, that's such a subjective question. One man's meat is another man's poison. Besides music/audio is such a variable subject.

That being said at your budget range you can try out Pioneers, Denons, Onkyos, Panasonics, Jvcs, Philips, Yamahas, Sonys either in compo/2.0 or HTIB but usually for better quality audio we prefer dedicated amps, players, AVR's.

hahaha ... subjective or not but i think theres a certain judgement there kua the sound characteristic of HT amp when plays music ..

i heard ...

Pioneer - Movie ok Music ok
Yamaha - Movie good Music so so
Sony - movie good Music so so

true ah ??

If u r talking abt av amp (bgt to mid range)

Pioneer - Music and Movie ok
Yamaha - Movie good Music ok
Marantz - Movie ok Music Good
Sony - Movie so so and Music almost ok
Denon - Movie good Music ok
Harmon Kardon - Movie ok Music Good
NAD - Movie almost good Music good (expensive)

should put it this way

all of them good at movie. bad at music

obviously it will be that way if compare 2 those pure stereo amp for music ...

but budget tight, have 2 play all in one ...

i wonder what kind of amp should i get? i was using a jvc dvd player connected to a NAD amplifier.. i dunno wht model it is... it's so old.. recently the amp has spoiled and 1 site produce no sound at all edi..

i was thinking any cheap replacement unit for my NAD amplifier?

Budget : 1k max, the least the better
usage : 100% music only...

marantz pm-4400. cheap and good. 30 watts per channel. less than 1 k

i wonder why computer's multimedia speaker always comes with a woofer while these amp seldom come with.. unless it's a HT system.

However i still prefer the one without woofer more..

i did a lil survey and found that it's sold at £149.00 Ex <-- x 7 it's more then 1k edi...

japanese product in uk will always be more expensive compare here.

ic... it's a japanese brand... how much and where to have a look at them?

pm4400 is the one with the loudness button issit??
