Also buying power in Malaysia is limited.

Oh I see

The one in your picture is the V1. The newer one is called V1i it comes with magnesium-aluminium alloy tweeters which goes up to 53kHz. The only visible difference is the tweeter shield and the colour of the tweeters - see picture below:

Going to listen to a pair of Klipsch RF-7 II this weekend. Can't wait.

I thought you don't like klipsch

i dont like klipsch

Any ideas when Yamaha V381 will arrive Malaysia? Where can get it best deal online ?

I'm okay with it, not don't like. The only Klipsch system I heard was the RF52 setup and that was with only 1 movie. Can't draw a conclusion at all.

True and it just became worse this past year

Lots of people holding back on buying item which consider luxury to have

Guys... i would like to know what is the differences between AV receiver and amplifiers?

In which situation that i need receiver or amplifier in my home entertainment setup?

amplifier got a few type.
power amp. just 1 function to produce power for spk. separate volume control (preamp) required

integrated amp. power amp +volume control +input selector.
some support usb dac from computer.

av receiver. power amp +vol +input + audio decode +video switching.
now has hdmi, network, usb port

For a simple home theater setup just need avr and speakers + sub.

Hi again, just a quick question. Is it advisable to use similar speakers for LCR channel? As I browse the net, I found out that many argue reg the horizontally positioned MTM center channel is not the best. How about 3 similar 2 way bookshelf? Any thoughts?

can. as long not blocking ur tv screen.
best i saw use floor stand as center

If it has to be horizontal, try and avoid MTM designs. Then again, it really only matters if your sitting positions are like more than 30 degrees off axis. Those in the middle wouldn't be affected by lobing issues. WTMW designs are almost always better.

The best is to have 3 identical towers (or bookshelfs if you can't have towers) behind an acoustically invincible screen, the tweeter being just a couple inches above sitting ear height, generally.

Hi All,

Please enlighten me with a silly question. Does AVR support FM receiver? Currently using HTiB which have FM Receiver. I have a target to buy an AVR maybe in two years from now.

Another question, regarding subwoofer I just read and found out there's a various design of subwoofer. The type i read was downfire cabinet. What do you guys think of this design. Is it better when the subwoofer pump out the sound to the floor?

Most AVR have FM tuner but 2 years later we all can't tell. Different design of subwoofer is for different purpose. Some more suitable for movie and some more suitable for music

The Receiver in Audio Video Receiver is supposed to be a FM receiver..

Subwoofer design is the least of your worries..
I hv a sealed Rythmik F15 - front firing and an ol SvS PB12+ - downfiring one and they sound a tad different but not to the extent tat it matters even if l use both together..
Personally room modes and subwoofer positioning should be more of a concern..

hey guys.. not too sure if the Yamaha 379 or up coming 381 AV receiver could drive an old pair of speakers in my current setup to replace an aging receiver.. Quad 22L2
