I might go for the demo first once I'm prepared. I don't think I'll take the subwoofer and surround from Q Acoustics tho. hmm.gif

Thanks for your input. thumbsup.gif

For surrounds you can just buy the small 2010i and call it a day since your space isn't too big. They're quite cheap, they play fairly loud without killing itself and don't sound too bad either.

Sub.. Maybe get a second hand SVS SB1000 or PB1000.

Yup. I don't need expensive surround but as for subwoofer, I might consider your recommendation. I will google more infos. notworthy.gif

Mordaunt-short aviano 5 center speaker selling for RM490.

What would be the ideal inch and watt for a subwoofer on a budget scale within 1.5K? (don't mind if it's a second hand)

Short answer is No..

You seem to think that what we suggest is for our own..
Rythmik, SvS is value for money hence its good, unfortunately its not cheap in Mal..
All de rest are wannabes..
I guess you should just buy wat picks your fancy and then come back n tell us how it is..

tongue.gif

Klipsch no good for this subwoofer model? Like you said, Rythmik F12 and SvS is quite costly and out of my budget range I think.....

By the way I never think what you guys suggest in here is for your own. I take it seriously. nod.gif

Why not just tahan for a while without a sub? Save up some money, then get a good sub where you can use and enjoy for many years instead of a sub where you might only use for a few months and get angry at?

The Q Acoustics bookshelfs DOES have some bass, they are not soundbars that sound like tin cans without a sub. So don't have that stigma of a sub is an absolute must have and that you would compromise quality for a low price.

That klipsch sub is mediocre if you want to know the answer.
*

Well maybe you are right Ben. I might just tahan a bit for the subwoofer while saving money to buy a good quality branded sub. I'm a person who likes to think of resale value. Getting a 5 stars, branded and quality subwoofer would be the best choice for me since I m on tight budget. icon_rolleyes.gif

As for the Klipsch, I was thinking of it's reasonable price plus it's branded too but not sure if the quality is so so. A user said that the Klipsch R-10SW was a bit boomy. May I know the difference between sealed and ported subwoofer? confused.gif


QUOTE(stilo10 @ Jul 1 2017, 02:21 PM)
Lower range subs wont be able to digs deep and usually it will cause a lot of distortion on some scenes of a movie with low LFE effects. Thus it will also affect the overall sound effects and this based on my experienced on the difference between the lower and higher range subs. You may go for a demo to experienced it yourself and by using the same movie with low LFE effects on both of the subs...

I wouldn't say SVS is the best but it is a good choice to start with... try to look for a used unit if the new ones are too costly.

I have to admit it's true because I owned a JBL SCS 180/230. It sounded like wind instead of bass. laugh.gif

Well due to budget constraint, I have a choice of not getting any subwoofer first or get a second hand at a reasonable price if any. I'll make sure I'll post in here first before making any decision since you guys are very experience Home Theater kaki guys! brows.gif

Yah. Correct. My first priority is the Yamaha av receiver. Of course my first choice would be the 681 model but the 581 model price difference quite a lot leh......any idea ahh? hmm.gif

RX-V581 = RM2100
RX-V681 = RM2600
RX-V781 = RM ?

As Sifu Ben already highlighted, RXV681 is the better option to go for but you may also consider Marantz SR5011 with higher specs that also comes with preamp outputs. Recently Desa Home are doing raya promo at RM2699 but not sure whether the promo is still on going now but I believe Desa Home will be doing promo for this coming KLIAV 2017. So just tahan till KLIAV 2017 and at meantime just do more survey and when the right time comes you may pull the trigger...  laugh.gif

Thank you bro. My first HT set bought from Desa HT Kepong. I gave the all set to my bro in law. Time for a change. tongue.gif

You..

Can go get a cheaper sub but you would just be wasting money as if you are in this hobby long enough, you are bound to upgrade especially if you are keen to compare.. heck even those wif the mentioned brands are looking at 2 or even more..
Just go used or wait till you can afford it than to just buy blindly - you wont regret it..

Sadly yes. All above 2K. New set 4K above plus. Budget around 12K but that included X-Box one and a led TV. doh.gif

There's two potential shop. Style Laser and Desa Home Theater. For online there's Mudah, 11th street & Lazada (I think). Actually are shop owners genuinely selling new item or repacking back wan? Last time I went to DHT, they told me to give advance and then will send the goods the next 1 or 3 days. I'm having trust issue here..... unsure.gif

Want to share my recent AVR experience.

I was here a few months ago asking about getting a new AVR. I wanted to get the Denon X2300W or the Marantz SR5011 to replace my old Yamaha RX-V371. I found a used Denon X1300W for a good price so I grabbed it. The features were good compared to my old AVR but the sound was very thin and not as exciting even compared to the yammy 371 I had previously.

A month later I sold it and bought the Marantz SR5011 (I actually made a gain because I sold the X1300 for a higher price than I bought it). I am happy to report that I am totally awed by it! The mids are just amazingly solid and my "docile" PSB sub just came alive and I can now feel the sub in my face and chest instead of just hearing it. Truly amazing to see such a big difference between these two AVRs, especially since the X1300 is only 1 step below X2300 and SR5011 in terms of product range.

The only shortcoming of the SR5011 is that the highs are not as exciting as the Yamaha was. The highs sound good and solid but doesn't tingle the senses like the Yammy did. I suppose the Yammy is a bit bright and the Marantz is warmer. Well, you can't have everything, but overall I'm very happy with the upgrade and feel that its a very worthwhile upgrade.

I would also say, that the X1300 is to be avoided. It's really not worth the price. Either spend more for the SR5011 or get a budget Yammy which may not be great but does sound a lot better then the Denon.

Thanks for motivating me more about getting a Yammy AVR. Now it's either RX-V581 or RX-V-681. hmm.gif
