More than just 8k. HFR for 4k and VRR are 2 important things if you play games. But if you don't nothing really to be concerned about.

Ryhtmik FV18HP > PB16U at a lower price.... For slightly more than a single PB16U, you could get a FV25HP which would laugh at the PB16U while doing crunches.

okies will pull the trigger then 

any good dealer for SVS around Klang Valley? I so far shortlisted Elac DEbut 2.0 B6.2 but also considering to up my budget a bit for SVS since the SVS can support wider frequency, and with 5 years warranty compare to ELAC's 3 years.

Guys can recommended a good seller for denon avr?

Svs pbs 1000 and sb1000. Which is better choicr for 80% movie snd 20% music

Hi Sifu, since my budget is low, looking at second hand unit with 9.2 channel or above.

Was looking at  Denon AVR-X6400H and Denon AVR-X7200WA. Or any other equivalent recommendation is fine as well.

Also suggestion of any used store (other than style laser, hifi4), do let me know as well. Thank you.

Didnt know they carry used unit, will check it out, after CNY, thanks.

That's nice to hear. Everyone says Yamaha AVR is a lot cooler than Denon. I used to have a Yamaha RX-V659, which I then upgrade to Denon 3312. IMO, Both are equally hot. 
perhaps they just like the simplicity of Audyssey.

Yes i appreciate all the inputs given here by everyone ..

On a sidenote, do you guys recommend me buying AVR + speaker setup or straight buy PC speaker setup since i am using my PC to play movies..

What is a bang for buck system at the moment?

Right now I am using Bose Lifestyle which doesn't have 4K input and sound wise it is alright, I just upgraded my TV, I was pondering upgrading the sound system as well. Heard good things about Denon receivers, which ones should I be looking at?

The frequency range of a bookshelf is often much more limited than their tower counterpart, so you'd run into physics limitation before you run out of power anyways. That's why I said there's not much more that needs to be said about them in regards to power.

Tower speakers are more efficient than bookshelves because often times, they have MORE drivers than a bookshelf. Let's take the Diamond series as an example again. The Diamond 12.2 is a bookshelf, 2 ways. The Diamond 12.4 is a tower, 3 ways. Because the 12.4 doesn't need to have just ONE single woofer doing all the work from 35hz to 1khz, that eases out the load between 2 woofers instead. The 12.4 also has much larger cabinet to move air and thus it's easier to reproduce higher volumes. That is the reason why it is more efficient than a bookshelf.

I'll have to emphasize again, the bass region is what eats up power the most. Very, very few speakers can do full range 20hz-20khz. That's why individual subs are essential. Earlier you mention you're afraid that your receiver may longer cope with multiple amount of speakers when you move up the multi channel chain. That could be an issue yes. But active subs will take care of that, it will ease your receiver from having to deal with the bass region (which again is where the majority of the power goes to).
So you see, subs aren't just for the boom-boom factor, not at all. Subs are the FOUNDATION of your system. If you have good bass, you are already more than half way there to good music.

You don't have to buy everything at once if budget is an issue. This is a journey, not a buy once and forget it hobby. So it's fine to have your AVR, pair of bookshelfs, and some cables to start off with. What the others and I have been telling here is just knowledge. But you need to experience everything yourself first in order to move further, otherwise it's always just a guessing game.
