Well, i was towards ur direction as well. Wanted something that's good for movies and music. Even spend alot on av amps, cables and DACs to tweak around. But in conclusion, it is best to have a hometheather and a hifi set for the optimum sound pleasure. But i believe it is not viable to spend on two sets generally.

I used to own Monitor Audio RX series and find that they are really sweet and smooth sounding at the same time it can be dynamic. If you are 50% music listener, these are gonna pull you into the vibes especially concert videos. However, for movie enthusiasts, i would suggest getting the KEF's as they are definitely much more more movie oriented with a really wide sound stage and attack due to its Uni-Q drivers. Look at Q series at least and ignore the C series:)

Hence I've concluded with the above:D

Wow... Nice

Recently Universal Malaysia started to bring in Bluray Audios into Malaysia. I;ve been playing with some and the results have been encouraging (eg getting LP sounds without LP)

What about if I want speaker both excel in movie and music. Oh, between 4 ohm 6 ohm and 8 ohm speaker, any difference? Notice those really ultra high end one is 4 ohm. And 8 ohm always more friendly for receivers?

If you are into KEF, you wont go wrong with onkyo and pioneer:) they match best. But if you are into music, you should check out monitor audio with yamaha amp

but onkyo seem got a lot reliable issue on the HDMI. please advise.

The lower the ohm the harder is to drive the speaker. Anyway lower ohm does not mean is better is just more power hungry.

As sonerin mentioned, if you are worried, get the pioneer amps. If can look at the LX range as they are totally different breed.

And nope it doesnt sound as bassy as their htib.

I own Sony HtiB before as well and they are boomy too. Is just that HtiB is not refine in their sound. So cannot compare. I do own Pioneer AVR before as well. It is quite good.

I am looking at something under RM2K to replace my old Yamaha amp. What would be the best buy and where to get the deals? Any recommendations?

Currently considering the Yamaha RXV-475
