QUOTE(amirinz @ Jan 16 2015, 02:11 PM) No worries, be vicious on the comments if you want. So things to do to improve on my acoustics right now are: Don't worry...all us amp heads talk in riddles. Sub pace means how fast the sound comes out from the subwoofer as compared to your main speakers. You don't want a noticeable gap between what your main speakers are blaring out and your subwoofer catching up half a second later. 2ndly, low pass n high pass frequencies are what their respective name implies but these are merely filters to filter out unwanted frequencies. You should be more worried about the phase.1. Add distance from rear wall to speaker. 2. Get a proper stand. Because starting sub pace I dont understand a single thing after that.  To google I go! |

QUOTE(ic3kacang @ Jan 16 2015, 09:46 PM) I think 2k for the entire system is impossible Of Course!!! Start small and upgrade along the way. A few years later and you'd have replaced entirely your original setup. Amps, Speakers, Cables, Interconnects, Power Cables, Conditioners, Stands, Feet etc.  But I have limited budget. Will I be able to upgrade the configuration in the future if I only get the speakers only? Pokai Betul. Ask Hushymushy about his soundproofing (hee...hee...) |

QUOTE(sonerin @ Jan 17 2015, 06:58 AM) Won't even dare to ask Tell you what...even if the price of the PassLabs won't kill you, the bloody heat sinks at the sides will.If my guess is correct, I think the PM8005 will cost around MYR5K whereas the PM11S3 will cost around MYR20K Wait around a bit and hopefully these prices will drop a bit. Marantz not cheap these days This post has been edited by GI Jie: Jan 17 2015, 09:16 AM |

QUOTE(wim1983 @ Jan 17 2015, 12:16 PM) wow, that a bit too big for my taste The picture you are looking at is a kopi table lah (not cow)...nice height plus the heat emanated from it can keep your kopi nice and warm...best is it also acts as an amp for all the kopi house music. Also, if you had titbits in those "unopenable" plastic wraps, the killer heat sinks at the sides can act as a razor edge knife plus the fact that once you place it where you want to, nobody can move your kopi table around. BTW...it comes as a pair, so got 2 kopi tables. Save on other furniture in the house. , so "cow" ady, I prefer something just enough and compact, you know sth like Hegel H80  |

To all the sifus out there,
Can recommend a top solid state setup (no tubes)? I am now seriously looking at the PassLabs XS150 monoblocks & the XS preamp but open to any suggestions. This system will be connected to my existing Krell S-350 CD player via Nordost Valhalla 2 XLR interconnects and to my SF Guarneri Evo via Nordost Valhalla 2 cables. I am also looking at the D'Agostino Momentum monoblocks & preamp but is afraid that the SF Guarneri Evo cannot handle the load at 4 Ohms. |

QUOTE(cschun86 @ Jan 25 2015, 12:16 AM) I need sifus recommendation over here. To get real punchy bass, get an amplifier with a Sub Out to a subwoofer. That will settle your bass requirements. As for hanging the speakers on the wall, I don't think it is advisable to do so. Try whatever system you have with the speakers on the ground and hanging against the wall and you will know what I mean. Lastly, whatever you do, don't get Monster cables. Over rated and expensive. If you are really set on purchasing Monster Cables, get a length of electrical cables instead. Bet you can't hear the difference.I am looking to purchase my first hifi system with details below: Budget: RM4000 Items: 5.1 speakers + amplifier + speaker cables Others requirement: - prefer punchy type of bass - minimalist/small size design as all speaker going to hang on the wall - 100sqft room size Usage: - Movie & music, source from HTPC sound card and graphic card. - Music emphasize on vocal type - Action movie oriented Currently offer I get is like below with RM3900 price: - Wharfedale DC-1HCP - Denon amplifier - Monters speaker cable - Wireworld sub-woofer cable - Installation and tuning included |

Got the Bose SoundLink Colour bluetooth speaker for my daughter yesterday at Atlas Hifi in Midvalley for MYR670. While I was there, they were demonstrating the SoundTouch 30 Series II system and I was really surprised with the sound from such a small unit. Punchy bass, melodic mids and clear treble. Heavy though...but it beats the SoundTouch systems hands down.
