i suppose you could biamp i.e 2 separate amps for each channel; IIRC the T-amp cannot be bridged internally

90db sounds promising and the t-amp should be able to drive it sufficiently (if the impedance isn't totally wild)

double the amp power means only 3db increase in SPL though

yeah i was thinking that. dunno if its worth trying or not. my current amp feels too weak, like not enough power. looking for something different now

Howbig is your listening room or space? are u listening nearfield or otherwise? The bigger ur room, the more amp power you need to fill the room with sound

not very big la. dunno the exact size. but higher amp power doesn't only mean it can play louder, more dynamic for me if higher powered amp

hiee guys,

I have 1.5 k to spend, i want something better than my gigaworks S750 that I got for 1.2 k +

any suggestions ?

diamond 9.1 and marantz pm4400?

gigaworks is the computer spkr thingy, right? *paiseh* Me, aint good at comp spkrs.

computer speaker for 1.2k? wow ... can get a decent standmount already.

its a 7.1 system. n quality is also quite good compare to other computer speakers. some ppl listen to music, watch movies, play games using their computers. therefore, to them it is a good investment.

but i hav heard tat many gigaworks die after a year. u can look for more info in this forum

after a year?! That tranlates to RM3.30 per day.

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?

RM200 for a hifi set???
RM200 for a budget entry interconnect maybe can la.
r u refering to a mini hifi? even mini hifi, at RM200, don think u can get one.

i agreed with u...

RM200 for a hifi set???

RM2000 can la....

Hi guys/girls;

am sourcing for a preamp.
Any good recommendation??

Budget less than 2K, if can probably 2nd hand.
Currently using my integrated amp as a preamp.. hehehe
integrated amp is Audiolab 8000A.

Sounds not bad at all, but i'm thinking that system can still be better/improved with a proper preamp.


On a note a few post earlier, regarding ICE.
- i don't think my car sound system is too boomy or overpowered.
- same like home systems, just need the correct tuning and balance to make it sound good.
- most of the time i guess home hifi, most ppl listen to bookshelves only without a sub, hence when listening in the car too much booom/low freq.
- this could happen when putting a sub to the system as well.
- but well personally i have a sub at home as well. but find myself not using it too often.
- my room kinda small, no place put in the room.. hahahaha

Anyway thanks for any recommendation

try www.music-matters.net. It is in Kepong. Look for John.

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?

There sld be a slight difference other than cosmectic changes. Just dont hope for a very vast improvement. However, it is better to audition both.

since ur budget is 1.5k, and u r looking for surround system also, y dun u go to Hi-Fi shop choose a surround movie system? i think those Hi-Fi shop's Hi-Fi will better than computer brand speaker like logitech...creative... , i am sure u can get a better one. myself is using Sony Hi-Fi system , i am very very satisfy with it now. i remember i got see a model at Hi-Fi shop, its sound was giv me a good impress. i forgot the brand and name already because i am juz pass through only, but i remember the price is RM16XX. though my Hi-Fi is buy at RM26XX last time, but seems like around RM1500 can get a quality not bad one also.

Bro, here is the Marantz CD5001 review

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.
