The Aego's were were popular among LYN forumers. I believed its now discontinued.
I actually bought a pair of them after hearing all the good stuffs. Well, I wasn't impressed to say the least. They sounded way too bright for my liking. I ended up selling it away.

Ahh ok cause the Aego T series got a higher rating from what hi fi compare to B&W MT-20 and the KEF KHT3005

Desa seems to have good prices as that is where i bought my Philips 42" and cant complain on service

I was just wondering, I'm using the Logitech Z-680, do u think by replacing it with the Yamaha, it'll actually be a downgrade instead?  hmm.gif

From Z-680 to Yamaha TSS-15? That's obviously a major downgrade man. laugh.gif

Guys, need your opinion. Would a 7.1 system considered overkill for a small room? Wel, u have been to my cramped room, is 7.1 even feasible?

^ How about u move u'r TV to the back of the room? Then space might not be an issue. U'r TV is like in the middle of the room now. 7.1 speakers in that area might be a bit too cramp, don't u think?

U need to clear u'r room. Remember u can always dump stuffs that u don't want in my house. I'll gladly accept them with open arms. biggrin.gif

I forgot to add.. u need an air conditioner and a nice couch in your room!!! Where got ppl view HD movies on the bed one. tongue.gif Imagine, dimly lit room, nice ambient temperature, and top it all with 1080p video..Fuah, heaven.

MK, for RM 3K, I think i rather get a PS3 or Wii.. i can't have too many speakers in the room. Currently I have 7 now. If I add in more, my father will whack my head with a stick.

How much is the Aego T going for at the moment? That day I went to audition the KHT3005, the big bro of my KHT2005.2 at Tong Lee, they want RM8000 for the sats and sub sweat.gif

what you guys think of the Yamaha RX-V450 + NS50F & NSP70 speakers on offer @ desa home now. is it a good buy for a small room HT? (approx 8ft x 8ft size room).
im thinking to use it for the 360 & casual movie watching

Erm, newbie question here.

I have some random sony 5.1 htib, has optical input (that I've never used). If I want to hook up my 360 to it, what cable do I buy? I have the ori component/white&red cable, a 3rd party VGA/white&red ... is it I have to buy yet another cable?

You only need to get an optical cable. On the 360 component cable there's already a port for the optical cable.

Yamaha TSS-15... hmm... somewhat familiar... YES... it's the upgrade for bloody set I had for my xbox, gamecube and ps2 set up in Perth! Had to fork over 399 dollars to Myers for it... darn rip off... only RM 399 now vmad.gif with new face/amp unit as well

I'll give my two cents on it then...

1. For RM 399 you can't go wrong
2. It sounds quite decent, not very loud, bass not that strong (up the bass and the set tends to... errr hum? not sure what's the technical term but this might have been due to my speaker placement... hard to fit everything plus 32 inch sony crtv into dorm room!)
3. It beats my current 'budget' set up (Sony ht-ddw780) hands down when it comes to music - very refined and surprising because the current set costs more than double $$
4. It has tiny wooden speakers which are very light (somewhat ciplak) but are magnetically shielded (if I remember correctly, or maybe the sony tv i had was... hmm.gif )
5. It looks ciplak (sorry guys, you must see this for yourself)
6. It is great for movies (unless if you're a bass freak)
7. TV, 3 consoles and this will fit nicely on the cheapo IKEA birch finish TV rack... the low one with two open compartments...

8. If I knew this was selling here for RM399, I would have gotten it instead of the Sony especially as this model now has 3 digital inputs (mine had 1 only methinks)

Bottom line, think of them as an elegant set of computer speakers smile.gif
