this is a good topic which i could get lots of information on a HIFI system(including McD) for a newbie in HIFI world like me.

i need your opinion again. actually never tot of getting a HIFI system. but went for audition last weekend on the NAD 521 and 320, immediately fall in love with it. sigh.....have to spend more again. maybe an entry level one will do for starting. the speakers used during the audition was Focus audio bookshelf. sound was amazing. but after looking at the price tag, forget it, changed to mission m31. played the same songs, amazed again that it doesn't loss that much. natural and very good soundstage.

so was wondering if the diamond 9.1 will sound better than the mission coz thinking of getting a pr of 9.1. any comment? hehe....

For a budget HIFI system, i saw in perfecthifi promotion, marantz 5400 and PM4400 was lot cheaper than the NAD. any opinion on how it sounds compared to NAD? oso if cost the matter, can i paired the 5400 with NAD 320, which will save me few hundreds if to use NAD CDP?

can a normal DVD player sounds as good as the CDP?

Thanks,

bros, any opinion on marantz amp like PM4400 which is much cheaper? or the 6010?

pm4400 don't really sound that good lah. i'd rather save up and get a better amp around the 1.5k mark if on a budget. this kind of thing don't use for 1 week but a few years. make sure get a good one le

yeah, should save a bit more for a little better amp.

i've heard the NAD 320 BEE, sounds good, about RM1.3k
marantz 6010 OSE, havent tested it yet, about RM1k.

ooo, i guess that might goes a bit out of the budget.
when i tested the NAD, it oredi sounded good to me.
how bout the younger brother, azur 540? if it's only the power, i don mind getting it since i don intend to wake everybody up.

and it seems that marantz was not a hot topic here. hmmm....but 6010 for 1k is really quite attractive to me.....

the NAD is more neutral la. the azur hard to explain but the vocals seemed more alluring. 540 and 640 a couple of hundred bucks more only right? more power doesn't mean louder le. the sound is more dynamic

power isnt everything. Important is clarity, soundstage and vocal (for me).
