Sorry for ignoring people who suggested me some speakers, finally got my passport and decided to try out myself before purchasing because words describing are too virtual.. I'm afraid that purchasing a "good speaker" with signature i don't like. Any recommended Hi-fi shops in Singapore?(or in JB but i don't think there are any) Afaik jaben only sells headphone equipment...
my sister's friend told me there are 100k audio setup shops, I went there and they sells speaker for karaoke and movie theater setups lolzz.. and loud speakers of course, thats exactly isn't the thing i wanted
What I want is true audiophile, hifi speakers, passive speaker with amp or active speaker, doesn't want all in one function (with dac usb build in all in one)

Do visit The Adelphie. Jaben SG is also located there.
But most of the hi-fi shops there closed around 6:30 to 7 pm.
Most of them also closed on Sunday.

Actually i went  there and can't find jaben, perhaps already too late. is the shop located in the same street with jaben SG?

The Adelphi is the name of the mall, opposite Funan IT Mall.
Inside The Adelphi, there are many hifi shops, including Jaben.
Jaben is on the 1st storey.

is it??? hhhmmmm
get a class A headphone amp.....yum yum yum

Stock cable is silver-plated copper.
That's why many users, including me, change to pure copper (OCC or OFC) after-market cable.
Even though I'm using Oppo HA-1, which is class A headphone amp, I prefers the SQ when paired with tube amp like Woo Audio WA22

Bring the CD player first without the box.
Last time did the same with my Primare CD-31 and the custom officer just waved me through.
I kept the box in SG first and brought it back at on my subsequent trip.

Not sure if they are more strick nowadays after the BeeEnd gomen introduce the GST.
Will need to bring back monitoring speakers as just ordered the Focal Solo6 Be from KiasuLand.

now im thinking to upgrade it to focal bird 2.1 or little bird 2.1 ...any suggestion and where can i get them?
is it worth to upgrade from focal xs 2.1?

If you like Focal house-sound, maybe you can try upgrade to their active monitoring speakers, like the entry level Alpha series?
I've listened to their Bird/Little Bird series and to me, they do look nice but the sound quality is nothing to shout about.

Hello everybody...just came home last nite.
Ya, visited the shop in Mongkok. Hell, in fact the whole building was full of imported high end stuff. No pictures cos they won't allow me to take them. Auditioned the MBL but not 9008A or the 9011 cos not in stock but the 7008A integrated amp coupled to the strangest looking loudspeakers (116F) & AR CD6. Very transparent but too clinical for me. Zero life. Well, played my CD there and it sounded different. Not the sound I was looking for but the bass rattled the glass display cabinets when he turned the volume up.
Cost of the 9011 is HKD140,000. Transaction in HK only. You do your own shipping. 2 months to order.
Walauwei....

I think the sound from some German high-end, be it MBL, Burmester, is an acquired taste.
I'm also not fond of what you said as very transparent but too clinical sounding.

Their aesthetic can also be a bit over-the-top, but I do like the design of T+A stuff.
