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

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 

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?

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Thank you all.

Actually the more i dig about AVR the more poison i get. Before, i thought i just want to enjoy dolby true hd and dts Hd. But after i read about Atmos, my mind now thinking I should aim to get an AVR with Atmos supporr. Hopefully the price will drop a bit for AVR that come with Atmos next year.

My mind now thinking if any Atmost AVR available together with 5 speakers, i will go for it. Later i will invest for a good subwoofer. For front, center and rear speaker...any package will do.

Now I wonder if Atmos system will mess up with 7.1 system. Like what said in the video, most Bluray source came with 7.1 audio. What will happen to the 2 channel of audio which suppose to be placed at left and right of the room but now it in the ceiling. This situation is considering a bluray without atmos audio track. Will it become weird?

magnepan looks cool 😉
