lol let's see what the offer during AV show

seems like you have plenty items to buy.

Have you got the quote for DZ 7 yet?

yeah, if bought DZ 7 then sub and avr will be end of the year or next year

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!

+1

lol, what setup you using now?

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

Change all? Or just avr and sub only

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!

hm.. then hold the bullet 1st and wait for MYR naik

what center and front speaker you using now?

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.

Was spent about 10min for a quick test during lunch hour for DZ1, 5 and 7 (pure audio mode on Bluray Live concert). Floorstand sound much better than bookshelf. However, DZ 7 slightly better than DZ 5 but not significant. The sales guy told me because the setup was home theater (speaker set to small and crossover 80Hz) that's why I don't feel the advantage of DZ 7. Is that true what he claimed? I thought when pure audio mode the setup will switch to stereo mode without cross to sub?

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.

I am not sure about pure audio mode on the AVR you tested. So far when I put as "straight" in my Yamaha AVR the sub is still in use for stereo music. So usually when I listen to music, I will switch over to just using my Int amp. Of course the sound is very different with Int amp and AVR. So different matching of equipment produces quite different sound. As always, is good to have music and movie into different setup if possible

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

Will go for DZ 7 cause putting in the living hall and the price different about rm700

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

lol need to eat bread for the next few months until the year end bonus
