1. during AV fest, you have to expect rooms to be treated to bring out the best they can......resellers rent the room...therefore they too need to cover cost by selling their system....anyone willing to donate a room for free demo?
2. if the system performed poorly in the room, don't think you will buy...am i right?
3. knowing the fact that room acoustics do play up 50% of the sound whether its at the showroom or at home......if you buy a system after audition in a proper acoustic room, then you setup the new setup in your living hall without proper acoustics....blame the equipment and seller??? yeah bloody snake oil ain't it
4. during the fest, the systems are properly run in and warmed up......when you buy BINB, don't expect to sound the same.....
5. every reseller will demo their most profitable system and margins....if i were to make a living out of this....i would demo something i make the most.... who's in business to lose money??? You??? This AV Fest is to demo the latest HT and sound systems by businesses......this is not a forum gathering NGO....this is reality right?
6. if you plan to buy something......check pricing everywhere....this is 101....
7. in the room, there are other things you need to vary off....curtains, softer finishing walls, carpets....then room tuning, cabling, power banks....and lots of other secrets...
my system at home went to a different level after shifting the system from the hall into a proper dimension room with minimal acoustic treatment.... same system in different room....you can't imagine the change
haters gonna say snake oil

1. USD vs MYR as we all know...is in a bad situation.....the big boys needs to clear stock, therefore its a matter of how you nego your deal....prices going up not because of GST but because forex.....i was surprised with the Musical Paradise MK501 price...used to be 4k++ and then due to forex, it shot up to 6k. This is based on direct online purchase price.
2. i usually buy smallish stuffs during fest....like CDs....some hifi accessories for the fun of it....like power sockets, tuning fuses and etc just to test out whether it has impact to sound..... now....if you are really shopping for hifi or AV....the difference could be the installation cost....unless you know DIY..... if you install ceiling mount projector...can you DIY the bracket?
3. do not rush into buying....hifi is a journey....not a short term game

Just back...only bought some 3D blurays...some priced at rm38 by speedy
Sound system...nothing much impressive this year
Mcintosh was so so The Sonus Faber Aida with Audio Research G series oso so so only...the balancing out
Dynaudio sounded below average
Hifi Creations..worth listening although too many people and can't really hear
