Actually your Yammy 3050 is very good oledi for your systems and room size,unless u got a very big room( >400sqft )and u wanna upgrade your speakers to 800 series and not to forget..if u have billionaire middle east best friend,everything is possible

Wah I like your last sentence of billioaire friend. Well I do have plan to upgrade for 800 series in near future. Than again AVR is not really for music purpose. Waiting for my pocket to dry first

Got his SINE wall plates for my new HT room.


Attached thumbnail(s)

even though i know that wall plate does nothing for sound improvement but it looks cool..

you choose what plating? gold silver rhodium platinium.....

depend on equipments

It's platinum for US plug and gold for UK plug

Nice! Looks like everything is falling into place. Did you decide to take the plunge with some atmos ceiling speakers?

Yup. Doing 4 ceiling speakers for atmos

Nice....looking forward to hearing what you think.

So there's no decently priced AVR that can do 7.1.4 or 7.2.4 on the market yet? Need at least 13 processed channels, and 7 powered channels will do. Hands itchy already, with the recent bonus.

Yup, I am excited for it as well but my house is not ready in another 2 months.

What is your definition of decently priced ? There are quite a number of AVR that is capable of 7.1.4 or 7.2.4 om the market from Yamah, Denon, Marantz, Pioneer

Below RM10k?

If u only got 1 sub,i will recommend yamaha 3050.For dual subs i highly recommend Denon 7200wa or Marantz 7010.
You can get all those below 10k if u know where to find.

Why 2 subs recommend denon or marantz

Out of the 3, only the Marantz can do 7.2.4. The Yamaha and Denon can only do 7.2.2 or 5.2.4.
The search begins...

i guess audyssey xt32 vs ypao

No doubt the YPAO is not that impressive if compare to audyssey

It actually depends on which version of YPAO.

The YPAO that comes with receivers after 67x are actually very comparable to Audyssey. The old YPAO from before that was decent at best.

Read this thread for more info - http://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-receivers...ny-dcac-vs.html

I've tested both the YPAO version from a rather old Yamaha v463 vs the latest one in the Yamaha v679. There's quite a noticeable difference between the both. AFAIK, most people has only ever heard of the YPAO from the early-to-mid 2000s, not the newer improved one from the last couple of years.

i have experienced rxv463 & rxv477 before.
also audyssey xt from matantz avr.

is indeed upgraded. old ypao run noise signal, tapping & crossover.

new ypao has similar bird chipping to audyssey. actually is square wave frequency swipe. it tune eq to match among all channels.
not tried ypao rsc version yet.
