RM305 now.
When I bought it, it was RM298 or something. Obviously I used the Lazada discounts so at the end it's only like RM550+ or something for 2 pairs.

Yes the height is perfect for my sitting position, tweeters are just half an inch higher than my ears which is just nice. It technically could be perfectly in line to my ear height, but I added those "earthquake prevention" pads from Daiso under the speakers which added half an inch of height. No biggie.

Amazing pads though, they're sticky with no residue so I don't have to use blu-tack to prevent my speakers from failling over if someone bumps into them and yet they really did stop the slight resonance between the top plate and the speakers.

This are the ones - http://www.cooltoyzph.com/viewitem.php?iid=12
Though I'm only using the blue ones.

I tried to find the pad in daiso but cannot find it

Thanks Mate, i'm gonna order the stand

Ya, I did run YPAO everytime adjustments are made. But in this case YPAO failed to help.

I'm pretty impressed with YPAO as the measurements are spot on. It was YPAO that initially made me realize that my surround will not be at equal distance!! (I mis-calculated on the floor tiles).

My fronts are at FL 2.6m (0db), C 2.45m (-3.5db), FR 2.6m (0db), SL 2.65 (2.0db), SR 2.2m (1.5db) from listening position. My FLR is 2.0m apart.

With some of the surround test videos from demo.world.eu, I was able to adjust and confirm that my speakers are in proper position. Much easier than watching movies.

Thanks for the advice and photo of your setup. They explained a lot. At least now I know that it is possible to put speakers that close together.

I saw those sticky pads and knew what it would be good for even before I bought my HT setup. Because they are quite thick and soft, it can easily balance uneven floors. Useful stuff.

Ya like all other shops with many outlet, each will stock differently. So I end up browsing at every store to see what they have to offer. Daiso at Mahkota Cheras carries it.

Yes the daiso pads are good. You can even stack 3 or 4 them to make heights and they remain stable (as long as you don't stack like 10 or something ridiculous, it'll be fine).

I bought as many as I could because they can work in many different kind of situations.

Hope you can get your setup right.
My LR speakers are about 6.8ft apart, toe'd in approx 15 degrees. Center channel is exactly in the middle, between the front and rear speakers. It's also exactly on the same horizontal plane as the front LR, despite not being on the same vertical height. This gives me that seamless transistion of sound from front to back, especially more so since I'm using 5 exact same drivers and tweeters.

The surround LR are 4.25ft apart, it's important to make them face exactly forward if you place the surround speakers directly behind you so that it creates this passing-of-the-baton fluidity from the fronts to the rears. This makes it that even with 7.1 sources downmixed into a 5.1 setup, I could hear the back LR effects without losing much.
I see a lot of people who place the rear speakers behind them due to not having space to the sides tend to toe them in to the MLP, this will create 2 gaps (or holes) at the sides. Don't make that mistake.

Hello guys...
I have an Onkyo AV Receiver TX-SR503 (old model) which was operating fine since and suddenly few weeks back I have some decoding problem from it. The receiver is decoding Dolby Digital sound perfectly but somehow it doesn't recognize DTS and only output as Stereo sound. I have tested from few sources (mainly my android boxes) and also from all the 3 available optical inputs but somehow it still fails to produce the DTS output .

Do you guys know what exactly the problem or is there any shop recommendation (preferably in Penang) for me to get it checked?

possible remote select auto surround? or direct mode
full reset may fix this

thanks for suggestion.. will try it out, thanks.

Tried resseting the receiver but still the same. I beleive the hardware codec spoit (just a wild guess actually). Is there any recomended shop that i can bring my receiver for checkup . Appreciate your inputs. Thanks.

time to upgrade to DTS MA and DOLBY TrueHD

Any recomendation??

mind to share rx-v479 pricing & where?..thx

Wow.. 7.1.2?

Pioneer Elite speakers....

They're very decent, but I don't agree with the whole bouncing audio bullshit for atmos. Only people who wants to be hip and waste money buy them, I'll leave it at that.

pioneer avr, samsung plasma

Nice

No worries bro!



The cheapest I think....

Might as well wait for v481.
At least this year's all Yamaha models fully support 4k60p @ 4:4:4 (v479 only 4:2:0) and more importantly HDR.

v481 is coming out in April (yeah this month).
