just to add in, bookshelf can also be put on cabinets. Standmount speakers needs speaker stand as its name implies. But, a good spkr stand wld be a better choice

U r talking abt Hi-Fi setup right?

LOL .... Well said.

When I see McD Value Meal, I think of Hi-Fi package at bargain price.

I think the Hi-Fi bug really did it job on us.

Bro, changed my mind as my current sub cld go as low as 25Hz, which is same as CHT-12R and enuf to 'shake' the foundation of the hse. Now, saving $$$ to buy AE900 and reno my room into HT room.

Not too sure. Now, sourcing for the sound insulation foam. Carpetting will de done too. Then, will have to invest in 'black-out' curtains. I dont think the whole project will cost RM30K for me.

My room is just nice; measuring 10' X 20' and the door is of solid door. Just have to do proper sound insulation, carpetting and install air-cond. Move out the existing furniture, replace with comfy sofa and do some cabling job (DIY). Final touhc-up wld be some nice movie posters that I have collected to be hang on the wall.

Sld be less than RM10K.

Actually Mordaunt Short Avant 902i also quite good.



Here's the link to the info and review:

Mordaunt Short Avant 902i - Supertest Winner

I guess that Marantz aint that a good match for Avant 902i kua.

CMY in Sg Wang.

I tot PM4400 already obsolete?

NAD or Cambridge Audio Azur 640A

Azur 640A is a tad pricier, which if not mistaken in the RM1.6K+ region

and it looks very good too.

can. by using pre-out from the amp.

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

Bro, have u set aside some $$$ for spkr stands?

Not too sure on that. Any1 can help here?

Monitor Audio name is used to be synonomous with hi-end spkrs. Only few yrs back, they ventured into bgt and entry level segment, which i feel is good as they have the experience.

However, rule of the thumb; trust ur ears.

RM1.2K is quite good. From sense?
