If i'm not mistaken that's the only way the 360 can output dolby digital signals...

Yes. And on the box it is most noticable when you play Viva Pinata , GOW has too many explosions and bass booms...

methinks that might be dolby prologic or something... unless the 360 manual is one big lie...

tech junkies, any comments?

Er... what's this WMA Pro?

HTK 5 is more for karaoke... had a look at it earlier this month, choke full of karaoke functions if that is your cup of tea! ALso, it has hugely oversized front speakers and 5.1 didn't sound all that great either.

In the end I settled on a much cheaper HTK-Genki set (RM 999 without the dvd player) that comes with two free rear speaker stands. I think I posted the product link here b4...). Doesn't sound that much worse but a lot CHEAPER. Actually it sounds great, just not all that loud.

If you are not willing to go above RM1500, another option will be the pioneer sets (see their malaysian webpage for details). RM 1600 plus will net you the entry level Yamaha HTIB which is pretty decent too.

As long as we are talking woofer here, do you guys think that the Lancer in GOW sounds kinda gay? ALmost like the carbine in CS... how to describe it... suppressed?

The hammerburst on the other hand rocks?

Hey I'm talking about the new version of this unit!
Upgraded to two optical inputs... only visible difference is the black faceplate for the subwoofer.

there's one version in jusco mid vallye for RM1699, basically amp + speaker combo. Sounds quite decent too

It does not sound that great... for RM999 we are looking at 'gaming' quality speakers...

But I do recommend them... looks better than 'computer' speakers, dirt cheap and very decent when calibrated properly (has auto calibration too!)

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 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... )
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

So did you guys actually find it for sale?
