The reason I ask this is because some audiophiles believe that using power that has gone thru UPS would shorten the lifespan of the electrical components esp capacitors.

i like all...

Aww... don't cry. I'm in the same boat. In term of speaker, why do give the monitor audios a try, the silver series and up

Actually I plan to buy a good and reliable avr first (info gather for Yamaha,onkyo dunno which one better, is THX is a must?) then use back the speakers which I posted earlier and pair with

KEF 300
KEF 200c
B&W 610 sub woofer.

Duno it workable or not.

Get some nice CD to test la. I have my own set.

Bookself speakers are easier to benchmark. If it is floor stand, some demo room are really too small... making the bass very boomy... The bass disturbance until cover the mid and high... where I cannot judge.

UPS can clean up power source? I have APC UPS, but battery kong... Sure can then I replace the battery.

If you look at my pm, you can actually call him and make an appointment to bring you stuff over to test with the amps. So you'll know for sure.

Bring some material (movie/music etc) which you are familiar with, so you know if you are happy with the sound or not.

I use both Yamaha and Onkyo... Not crazy about the Onkyo (has HDMI sensing/handshake issues).

P.S. unless you are willing to spend alot of money, don't even go there... You are just giving more money to George Lucas (his company certifies THX equipment). Trust your ears Hoss...

you mean i can bring over my speakers to go over there to test it out?

since you got the CD, then just burn a copy, i will then collect from u hahahaha

For my pioneer LX82 I never miss to turn "on" THX mode especially when I play 7.1 chanell movie...
so for me if you want buy amp with THX ....pioneer is the best choice , last time I own onkyo with
thx but cannot feel like pioneer one....pioneer was class D THX btw.....

Yes, if you call him before hand to make arrangements, I believe you can.

i believe ur avr is quite expansive.

btw what u mean for the "class D" ?

beside, u mentioned u always on THX mode even though the audio dun hv the THX format? or how ?

LX82 use to be the top range of Pioneer AVR. When is new is about 9k retail. The latest one I believe is LX86. The price should be around the same. In fact, with 4k budget can already get like what I am using Emotiva. Is separate component. Is budget setup with reasonably good performance compare to just AVR

Be careful le... Later drop speakers or scrath here and there...



Not sure n LX-82, but LX-87 do rock and impressed me. I consider myself hard to satisfy type.

Latest is LX-87. Somehow Malaysia has the first owner faster than HK. How I know?

Chanhin, do you have any recommendation on the subwoofer?

how about the 3 models below:-

1. B&W ASW610 (a lot good reviews)
2. Wharfedale Diamond SW250,
3. KEF Q400B.

What is your budget on sub ? I am a fan of B&W but not sure if I will recommend the sub. Anyway, if budget allow you can check out SVS sub. They are awesome.

< RM2700

That is good enough. Check out our member maxx web site. SVS really is something you want for movie.

pls share the site

SVS is also available at where I had directed you. He is Maxx reseller. I'm using a SVS PB1000 myself
