Well for one, the A3050 won't have DV and HLG firmware update eventhough in theory - the hardware is capable of supporting it. So, is DV important to you?

As for the PEQ range going down to 16hz, that was the only significant upgrade over the 2015's model. But understand that you WILL have to buy a better mic that can measure down below 20hz (like an Omni6 or UMIK1), know how to use REW and know how to port the results over. The automated YPAO is still limited at 30hz due to the subpar mic Yamaha refuses to change.

If you ask me, if you have no plans for DV - the A3050 is the wiser choice. By saving near RM2k, you can use that fund to import a minidsp (or an antimode or whatever similar) and buy a good mic, learn how to use REW and you get MUCH more options and capability in how to EQ your system over what YPAO can do. A minidsp and a UMIK1 + import tax + shipping doesn't even come close to RM2k.

I have no experience with the 64bit calculation for YPAO, nor have I seen any concrete test reports on how much better it is. So, no comment on that.

Tech keep changing and Dolby vision still very new even 4k material less..better get the best bang of buck avr
Nice info

Don't make me cry ...

Any chance of kastam tax if import minidsp 2x4?

I have dspeaker antimode 8033 S-II for sale CLICK HERE. bought it from htkaki (svs distributor) a few years ago.

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. 

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



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! 

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? 

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

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. 

Should I get online? 

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.....
