If I wait for this year's KLIAV show would there be any chance of a change? (e.g. someone becoming a distributor of these AVRs)

I know I am grasping at straws here...

I wouldn't bet that you'll see it even if I end up losing nothing against the bet.

It's highly unlikely to see a Sony AVR as an official product in the near future. The MY market only knows soundbar = end game.

Are there any advantages/disadvantages to connect source directly to LG C1 TV or through the AVR?

I just bought the Denon X1700H with HDMI 2.1 support and wondering which way to to connect my PS5?

The whole point of a "receiver" is to well - receive. Lol.

Connect direct to the receiver, then you don't have to deal with eARC. x1700H passes through ALLM to enable VRR as well.

Shallow thinking.

All rooms no matter the size, even a bahtroom has space for a pair of bookshelves. And guess what destroys a soundbar? wink.gif

it is possible to setup a decent 5.1 home theater setup for 4k budget.
including avr.

doing some quick research q990d seems like a good deal. 11 plus small speakers.

4k-ish 5.1 setup vs q990d/f. can fight anot.

now using 2 pairs of active speakers 4.0 setup. both swans.
my htpc, does not allow both dedicated sub or center to work at the same time.
its a realtek virtual surround thing. but seems to work while playing surround content.

now planning 2 upgrade something better. got pipu recommend i all in on a receiver. later slowly buy speakers.

my price references mostly from shopee choy store. no audio retailer in my area.

small room. maybe 3m x 5m. source volume 30-40%. speakers 50%

Pre-covid time possible.
Now you need to up that budget to around RM6k++ or so.

Yes, I always have been advocating on starting with 1 pair of bookshelf speakers first for those with a small budget. Build up your system over time instead of one shot all-in.

No idea how they would sound.

But the bigger issue is that they've been kept in the dust for so long, humidity has already damaged the cone and rubber surrounds. So don't be surprised if the drivers start cracking and you hear distortion as things start breaking apart as soon as you play some sound through them.

Guys —
I upgraded my amp to v6a about a year ago and now want to replace my LCR. Current mains are Yamaha NS series. Looking at Klipsch RP-8000F II (L/R) and Klipsch RP-504C (centre). Any experience with this combo? Will the RP-8000F II pair well with the v6a for movies/music (sensitivity/tonality)? Any suggestions for better LCR alternatives in similar price/feel?
Cheers.

Speaker and receiver pairing is a myth.

The only thing speakers pair with is your room dimensions and shape. If you like bright, energetic speakers, Klipsch RP series aren't bad choices.
