Had been using SVS since 8 years ago starting from PC12-NSD -> PB13U x 2 -> PB16 & SB16. Totally no regret with SVS subs. If you have deep pocket than can try JL Fathom F113. What front speaker you have ? Is better to match with the center. You join in the FB of home theatre Malaysia. Plenty of members using SVS subs
Planning to upgrade my towers in the future but the center channel is somewhat lacking so that's why I'm looking into a more capable center when watching movies loud ( as in non-hurting volume lol)

better visit Maxx NS shop... no doubt best AV shop for me.... good advise...humble seller..
agreed on the limitation AV brand/shop locally.. due to... people here dun appreciate sound much compare to visual...
I appreciate both audio and visual though... I have sensitive hearing... Is it a gift or curse? I wake up in the slightest sound, can hear very quiet noises and they bother me... After experiencing OLED, I can't go back to LCD anymore haha!

While there has been a rise of popularity in soundbars over the last 3 years, the individual speaker market (outside of Malaysia that is) is growing. So I doubt many companies are going to become Bose.
The growth in Malaysia is also not stagnant, it is moving - just very slowly.
The SVS Ultra center is a good center. I had the Prime center for a long time and also the Ultra for a brief month or so. It's a fairly meaty center channel, great off-axis imaging due to the 3 way design. My minor criticism with it is that its soundstage isn't wide enough for very big screens (I'm talking above 120") and at very high volumes, the tweeter MAY be a tad bright (I didn't mind it but many don't like bright speakers so just a note).
If you can head down to NS, then of course all the better. Actsessory at SS2 is much nearer to you though and Chong does have a full SVS system (also calibrated by Max) for demo.
As I have been spoiled by super high-end systems after visiting the KL AV Show, I'm more of a movie guy now... Thank you for the information! I'm okay with bright as I like to hear the shards of glass flying towards me LOL Isn't Actsessory in Subang Jaya? You seem to know Mr. Chong very well.....
