Yamaha A/V Receiver *RX-V381* = S$599.00 S$569

So Singapore price is S$569 after discount. Malaysia price roughly will be ...............

my guess is RM1600

I thought i used a wrong word. FM tuner is the correct word that I'm suppose to use.

dont worry. got fm radio tuner.
but future may switch to internet stream liao

Yup roughly. Currently the cheapest for RX-V379 was around RM1399 if not mistaken.

Is reasonable price

As bro dirtrun already explained, sub designs don't actually sound a whole lot different from one another. They aren't tweeters, which are instantly noticeable from one design to the other.

The most important thing when choosing a sub is:

1) The placement of it (this is CRITICAL)
2) How big your space is
3) How many are you putting in the room

Ported subs will always have higher SPL than sealed subs. Doesn't matter where the driver is placed, front firing, down firing, side firing or upside down firing. Bass waves are mostly omni directional, where under 20hz you won't hear bass anymore instead you will FEEL them.

Generally people believe that sealed subs will sound more accurate than ported subs. Where ported subs will sound "slow or sloppy", uncontrolled. That's true for the toy subs made by joke companies like logitech or edifier or some "insert cool x name here" brand.


I don't see why not, even though your Quads are low sensitivity.

Pretty much the same except in the RX-V481 series it include HDR support, 4k60hz at 4:4:4

It does have atmos too

Nope! 381 and 481 doesn't have ATMOS. Only 581 & above does include ATMOS.

Thank you Bro SSJ and Dirtrun. Now I learn more new stuff. Sealed sub and port sub. May i know if YAMAHA sub good enough for movies considering it well placed in a room.

My room size about 12x10x10. The tv will placed at 12' wall and viewing distance maybe around 8-9 feet considering other furniture such as sofa.

Any photo?

Which Yamaha sub specifically?

Hard to say if the sub will fit your room. The thing is, sub placement is often tricky because most people put it in a multi functional room, not a dedicated HT room. Furnitures, dimensions, shape of the room, all of these things can and will cause an effect of how the LFE and mid-bass frequencies are transferred around the listening area(s).

That room size is considered is considered on the "small" side. You can opt for a ported sub of course, but if you don't have the space for it (since you said you have other furniture), a nice sealed sub like the SVS SB2000 should fill the room up quite nicely in the proper position.

Sub are non directional. Basically put a sub almost any where in the room is pretty ok.

listen to 10" port sub of yamaha sw300 in friend living room. not proper calibrate yet. so so

Yamaha are not really good in speaker or sub

Saying this will lead to confusion bro.

Bass waves are omni directional, but proper placement to deal with nulls and peaks are critical to intergrating a sub's performance. Technically it can be put anywhere in comparison to the LCR, but it should be in the location where the nulls are the least.

Is true sub can be place with good location for better respond to avoid nulls. This does not mean you cannot place the sub any where in the room.

Yes, in comparison to the LCR, the sub has more than just 1 place to be put in. Technically it can be anywhere, even inside the wall if need be, but just saying "anywhere" is not really the recommended way to go about placing a sub I think.

Of course is also dependent on room and all but again it is correct to say any where is generally not a problem for sub
