follow audyssey to change everything. not just level.
deco can move out remove away = no problem.

my room got high & low ceiling, 3 corner only, s curve wall, plenty junk etc.. a perfect example to learn practice

No to mission VX3, it's just a 2-way single 130mm bass driver with passive radiator.
Meanwhile Stylelaser got sell Wharfedale Crystal 4.3, a proper 3 way speaker, but audition yourself before decide ya, someone here bought that, can't remember who...

Wow thank u all for ur kind advice~ Very appreciate it~  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif
The set will be in my living room, left side is curtain, right side is dining area, so i think reflection is not an issue
I see, maybe Jamo sound are usually like this then. But according to the shop, the guy told me it's due to Denon amp, if use Marantz amp will sound better  doh.gif
Yea... I tried some soundbars at multiple electrical stores, they all dun sound good, even the RM7.5k Sonos + Sonos sub do not sound as good as my Proton car speaker, that's really weird.. Now I'm willing to go 2.0 or 2.1 haha..

Yesterday I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4rSdFeAQwc (sorry chinese speaking only, haven't found any english speaking reviewer going as technical as this guy)
He seems to know a lot about audio and he also sells them in package here (maybe Taiwan only) https://shop.ningselect.com/cat/n/ningstereo/

For newbies, he suggested LA Audio https://shopee.com.my/LA-Audio-M2-Hybrid-in...9332.7905674132 + Castle Knight 1 speakers https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....bucket=5#detail, total around RM4k, have anyone heard good things about these 2 brands? Or do u have any other recommendation?

I think I won't go used since I'm unable to judge whether the set is in good condition or not, safer to go new with warranty..
My hse ceiling will be flat and 10 ft after plastering, I'm also willing to do ceiling speakers, but too bad their suggestion sounded quite bad to me, even my gf who isn't particular on audio things doesn't like it, so we were quite disappointed at what they sound like for a RM7k product... For now, i think i'll just go with 2.0 or 2.1 if needed, but wishes to get some recommendation...

Because audio is almost like rocket science to me... You can't choose the amp/speakers based on spec or price..
Amp with low spec can sounds good too (the LA Audio amp above only puts out 18w), speaker with higher price does not always mean it'll sound good, there's also amp like NAD 3020i which is legendary (i think, have dug deep into it yet), selling at only around RM700... Plus there are TONNES of brands, whether you ever heard of it or not, they all have products that sound good... Rocket science  cry.gif  cry.gif

jamo >>>> never demo before. guess is normal kind
denon-marantz abang adik. no big diff honestly.

Ning select is good channel. tapi his set can use hdmi port? hdmi quite crucial nowadays
speaker vs amp. priority is always speaker.

may i know u from selangor which taman?

Few years back I went to audition a bookshelf speaker, playing songs for a good while, 1 hour? I ask the seller do you have floor stand speaker with +- of my bookshelf speaker budget range, then he switch to Jamo floor stand, can't remember model, but with side firing woofer. He connect back to the same amplifier, after 5 mins I already cannot tahan the sharp and loud treble, feel like ear bleeding, not my taste.

laptop seldom got optical port. beside it dont support new codec like atmos dtsx.
so aim hdmi receiver among 5 common brand (yamaha denon marantz pioneer onkyo).

speaker quite hard to judge. if you aim for less sharp tuning, try wharfedale diamond serie
