erm... i think it got bass, but the bass cover the vocal clarity.... ( i think so )

So, in other words you are not impressed with the separation (High, mids and low). Interesting... Traditionally, studio speakers tend to emphasis, Mids and highs....

Put of curiosity, what sort of music are you into... Classical, Jazz, Pop, Club...?

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.

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... laugh.gif

Personally I never like onkyo. Yamaha is a more all rounder.

I second this. Yamaha is a better all rounder. And Hoss you are also correct. Sometimes it does that a little twigging and running it for Hifi stuff to sing. Additionally, Onkyo has a track record for HDMI handshake issues, which I'm experiencing now...

Can the hdmi issue solve with the software update?

I hv lower down my budget AVR to RM2K ~ RM2.5K already. Seem only Yamaha v675, onkyo 626/616 match my budgets.
*
I believe the newer Onkyo has that software upgrade option. My Onkyo is an older model, so i don't have that option, therefore, would not be able to tell you if that option is effective or not...

If it was up to me, I would increase my budget slightly and go for the Yamaha RX-A1020. More wattage, better speaker driving (is that the correct term, sifus)...

But really.. Can't deny that onkyo really good for movie. Yamaha seem lack of bass during watching BR movie. I dunno whether can be fine tuning on this.

smile.gif Yes. It can. I've used a Yamaha amp since I first started Home Theater. No one had said to me, You setup is nice but the bass... laugh.gif

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

Wow... A person of excellent taste. laugh.gif

Well, i was towards ur direction as well. Wanted something that's good for movies and music. Even spend alot on 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. Hence I've concluded with the above:D

Quick question, what are you doing with your dacs now?

I usually buy, use a few months, then sell. Now changed to Wadia 151 Power DAC for my hifi

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)
