just for info, the soundstage stage one amp is NOT a tube amp, its a small hybrid amp whereby using tube as pre driver & output transistors.If u wnat tube amps, try getting real tube amps instead....

Hi dude out there ~~~ any recommendation for a decent power amplifier ranging around RM2k? going to pair it with tube pre-amp and a wharfedale Diamond 9.1 ~~~ Aiming to get a solid state power amp, is it good to do so?

erm... klipsch which model would be suitable? say how much will be?

Dear all,

For plasma TV 42", any good one between RM8000-9000  ?

Seen Haier brand, RM8500 before nego. Dunno can trust or not? Sony WEGA one is 11000. LG about 10000. Pioneer and Hitachi is >>13000.

If Haier can last for 5 years, i will go for it.

Any one has experience on Plasma plssssss?

For a budget of RM1800, which brand of AV receiver is better?

how much is the denon avr 2105 or 2106? looking for one

a bit over budget, ha, how about the pioneer vsx d 814 or 815, is it good enough?
i see that you are selling some audio stuff there? details

hmmmm this thread would actually be useful for me for the first time

see, im planning to 'have' an rm5.5k budget within a year/year and a half's time. i hope to get a pair of bookshelves and an amp and have it plugged to my 0404 [if it aint up to the task, ill go look for an external DAC later].

though there is still plently of time, there is no harm for me to plan and look around... so far, im very interested in KEF's iQ3 and Mission's 780. as you can see, both are harbouring around 300 pounds [my max budget for the speakers]. perhaps you guys have any other suggestions for me to look into?

my dad was an ex-hifi freak, he told me to stay away from brands such as B&W, Whaferdale, Tannoy and so on. he says they're not good brands, however ive read very good reviews for whaferdale's diamond 8.1.

perhaps you guys can give me some additional info/input/advise/suggestion?

many thanks

yes definately, but i cant possible audition all speakers and im just merely looking at these as a baseline. im thinking: everyone says speaker A is good then id go have a look, while everyone says speaker B isnt then i wont waste my time with it.
'when it arrives'? isnt it here already?

the thing is, KEF speakers are well known for their occasionally over biased mids -or so ive read in the reviews and was told by my dad, but the one and only malaysian distributor is in perak and it makes things easier for me. the other one im looking at, the mission, would be hard to find...

Pro Ac you say? im gonna go have a look of them later 

was looking at the linn katan, until i realised they were 600 pounds and wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy out of my budget 

many thanks for the names and models SC
ill start looking into them. yeah, i kinda left MS out of the list very early on, it was words like 'either you love it or you hate it' from my dad's mags that made me look at it in a less positive way, but im gonna look into them again 

edit: oh, and thinking back, MS's low prices are also another factor that is driving me away from them. for instance, MS's floorstander [MS904] sells for around 250pounds. when you compare this to linn's CHEAPEST entry level bookshelves that start at 600pounds, it really makes me look at them in a negative way
hmmm thought it was launched a couple of years ago, it takes such a long them fro them to arrive? did you notice a bias towards the mids?

oh and btw, do you guys have any reccomendations on an amp? 200~300pounds?

Not if he threw out 2.5K USD worth of amplifiers in exchange for the XR55. Go read the thread on AVS Forum

Hi guys, anyone got experience with KEF speakers? Namely the CODA 70 and the Q1? Planning to get either one, but unable to make up my mind. Help anyone please?

Htkaki, the coda 8 looks like coda 70. How does it sound like? Hmm having tough time deciding.

Mission has been bought over by the Chinese (IAG) and would probably be distributed in future (soon) by CMS Audio (the distro for Quads/Wharfedale now)

BTW, Quad electrostatic has new model
