I see... what front speaker you have now and so you already bought DZ for cc and sr earlier? 

What sub or avr you are considering now? If Svs sub only standard discount apply and usually no better discount even at the show. For avr should have better discount especially for entry level but depending on what model you looking for.

Yeah, then you must get DZ series to paired with your Dali Vokal. I think SVS would be a good option for sub as also suggested by Sifu Sonerin! 

I think maybe you can paired with Yamaha, Denon or Marantz which are warmer sounding amp that will suit the Dali speakers. Different amplifiers have differing sound signatures and each one of these receivers is distinguishable from the other. To me, the Yamaha has a more dynamic sound to it than the Denon. I suggest you audition and try to compare the two before deciding on it.

Currently what sub are you using? Is it a ported or seal one? Do you plan to use dual sub and what's the size of your space for HT?

I supposed your living hall should be quite spacious since you already using dual 12" ported subs. So want to upgrade for better performance sub?

If space is not an issue then you can go for ported sub because it will typically offer better low-end extension as well as greater output but it is advisable to have two same subs.

I see and can understand! 

Svs Pb2000 is good option to go with. Have you audition any Svs sub before? Sub placement is important too ya.

July AV show you can sure demo the big boys

This big guns should be available there! I 'm planning to check it out at the show as well...

Get dual PB2000s if budget allows, then make sure you belanja makan for your neighbors every month.

Otherwise a single PB12+ is also a great alternative.

Then buy 1 now and buy another la. Either way, the PB2000 will rip your pioneer sub to shreds.

seems like you have plenty items to buy.

Have you got the quote for DZ 7 yet? 

Slowly bro, I also have the same planning as you, either get the sub first and follow by an avr maybe by end of the year or next year! 

My current setup is 5.1... just small potatoes... planning for an upgrade

HT items all going to rocket sky high (again) now that brexit happened. Don't expect good deals at KLIAV.

Avr, sub and surround speaker... one at a time! 

I am using Yamaha so no audyssey. Only power amp for front

seems like you have plenty items to buy.

Have you got the quote for DZ 7 yet? 

Heh I myself here want to get a pair of SVS ultra bookshelfs to complete my LCR as ultras, but looking at the ringgit... Lol ain't happening soon.

Lol salesguy idiocy 101 right there.

Yes, in pure audio mode, the bass management, room correction and DSP (if used) is ignored. That's the whole point of "pure audio". Logically speaking, pure audio turns off the most of the pre/pro part on a receiver, so how can bass management still be in use? Lol.

Anyways, there are many reasons why you don't hear a huge difference between the DZ5 and DZ7. Room size for one is critical to speaker performance, perhaps that room size is just too small that any extra amount of bass the DZ7 can muster is just being muffled on its own. Perhaps there's already enough bass on the DZ5 that anything the DZ7 hasa over it, isn't that significant anymore in that room size.

You can certaily still get a sub to work in pure audio mode by manually setting the crossover on the sub itself though. Usually people put it in LFE, that's why they don't hear anything when pure audio is enabled.

As for Dali 5 and 7, may I know, how much price is the difference between this two? If, it is not much difference, the DZ 7 is to be reckon with for long run usage (ie. moving to a spacious room later, upgrading & etc...) and if your living hall is spacious. The DZ 7 with its 7" driver size should have a lot better midrange and more detail with greater depth and can sustain deep bass notes for longer and it will be able produce bigger sound in larger space. However, the DZ 5 should be good enough should you decide to go with it. 

7" sub is very useful when in stereo. Of course in HT when sub is in use than wont be so much in use

Glad that you have come to a decision and good choice there bro! 

I agree with you bro!

Let us know once you got it run in

Some equipment such as subwoofer come with such discs.
For my other speakers stands and racks, I didn't bother to go hunting for them. Just punch an indentation in one-cent coins and they are as good. One-cent coins are pretty useless nowadays anyway.

Coin can scratch the floor so becareful

Yup cheap and good

Some other brands are more expensive and this brass base spike RM5 is a good price.

Maybe you can request them to give you FOC since getting a pair of expensive speaker from them. 

Haha... During promo some dealers may give out free gifts... maybe during AV show got chance!
