Hi guys,

Looking to get a hifi system with a budget of rm2k - 3k (max). Mainly using it for playing CDs and USB filled with instrumental and vocal oriented music files to be put in a medium sized living room. Please help me out? biggrin.gif

Currently have no idea for the amp and speakers (going for 2.0 setup). But i heard that the Denon D-M39DAB is a decent micro hifi system. Any opinions on this matter? Thanks!

Apart from that, do you have any shops in KL/Selangor region to recommend to purchase these items.

audio engine 5+ is fine, take DM39 if u listen to standalone CD and radio a lot.
yup, DM39 is decent system. newer CEOL models (with network function!) from Denon also within ur budget.

Thanks for your opinion. Besides that, if you were to recommend me an amp as well as a set of speakers around rm2k-3k budget, what would it be? was having a look around, the x-ls encore speakers have some pretty good reviews as well.

You will never go wrong with any Danny Ritchie's speakers (XLS Encore, XCS Encore, WAF-1, OB-5, OB7 etc). Danny always voices his speakers for timbre and vocal accuracy. 
And most of the reviews have higher credibility as they are independent and unpaid.

Happy hunting.

Thanks for the feedback. After going to CMY today, I got poisoned by the dynaudio dm2/6. I have revised my budget to 6k for speakers, amp and cd with USB player. However I read that even marantz pm5004 is not enough to power up these speakers. Do you sifus have any suggestion on other amps and CD players to pair with the dynaudio dm2/6 within my 6k budget? Thanks for your help.

typically you need a good 100watter amp and above to drive d dyns

pairing with a marantz is sort of pushing the limit of marantz....

but there are also other factors why a speaker sound weak

happy hunting.....you might want to try second hand market

if you r not particular about brand...you can test out magnet amp carried by bro car crazy

I see thanks! have you heard about q acoustics concept 20? Well my mom and I went to audition it and we loved it when it was paired with a marantz cd 6005 and a marantz pm 6005 amp. However is the amp enough to power those speakers? as it's just 45W

Woops my bad, for now I haven't finalized on the speaker. Its either gonna be the B&W 625 s2 or q-acoustic concept 20. Paired with a marantz pm-6005 amp and marantz 6005 cd player.

B&W 625 S2? Never heard of it so I can't make any judgment on it.
Junsuke, are you inquiring about cables or speakers? (Or both?)
Best advice I can give you is to audition both and get the one that you like.
If you require more professional advice, call Alvin at Perfect Hifi
He'll probably try to sell you the entire Valhalla 2 range but don't let that offend you.
He'll probably try to sell you the Sonus Faber speakers as well.
But then again, he does has quite a few used speakers for sale which might be better than the ones you chose.
A used Sonus Faber in good condition is way better than a brand new B&W 625 or Q-A Concept 20.

Ahh i'm generally inquiring of decent budget speaker cables and interconnect . Well since i'm gonna be spending around 6K+ for the whole set of speaker +marantz amp and cd player, it wouldn't make sense to go for interconnect or speaker cables which are too low of a grade. So i was looking at some brands in which the cables are of a decent performance, but not too pricey as well (budget constraint). So far, i came across QED cables as well as DH Lab cables which for both speaker and interconnect would cost me around rm 500-600 in total. These are still within my budget. Just wondering would there be other brands that could fit my budget. Will also keep your suggestion for the sonus faber in mind. Will go to amcorp mall and have a look in perfect hifi.
