Choose the same type as your existing ones or experiment with horn or aluminium tweeters?

If those are branded speakers, you might be able to find their original drivers on ebay.

I meant the same type as the one you want to replace i.e. dome / aluminium / etc. For tweeter frequency should be better to go higher but I think quality should always come first before frequency.

Why not just get a pair of used speaker to replace your current

speaker size should be measure from outer diameter instead of cutout diameter

They look like 5.25" judging from your photos.

5.25" means rubber surround to rubber surround measurement. So cone size itself is only 5". But there are exceptions because some drivers are true 5.25" for its cone size.

Here are examples of 5" drivers - link

My living room ceiling is cremate so not 'hole' to cut.     I am wandering is I can use CCTV bracket to attach my speaker?   

share more info, specs n yrs of usage etc etc

wat??? wats the logic behind then? 

 
oh well, tat's pretty good 

but yeah in tis case u will need to hv with the forwarder in s'pore also right?

Hi Guys,

i got a AV receiver Pioneer - but my Subwoofer (passive) is not working

now in dilemma not sure if my AV receiver issue or my subwoofer...but i can hear low freq sound coming frm my sub if i switch it on

Confirmed that these kind of speakers cannot work with other brand of receiver? It is 8 ohm speakers between 120-150watt with active sub. So thought that this HTS range can be mix like Onkyo + Jamo.


I do understand that normal HTS like Pioneer HTZ-322BD cannot match with other brand of AV receiver and speaker.

Hihi, I am so new to HT and moving in into a new home. Budget is about 3.5-4k, is it too low to have a decent home theater system?

It is all depends on your own preference (Movie/music/gaming?) and the size of the room.
The budget is more than enough for HiTB, I think it also hit the bare minimum if you go for AVR + speakers route.
If you want a decent one, then invest slowly.
You can start with AVR + 2 bookshelf speakers + sub
Later invest a decent tower and center speaker, move the bookshelf as surround.
Got money later, can upgrade the sub or add another pair of speakers in the ceiling for atmos.
repeat the process again

Thats very interesting. I would want to start with basic, i just have rear cable ready from the wall so might need a complete set first. Only future upgrade to atmos as i have trunking in wall for cable too.
More of a mix movie and music. HITB, any recommendations? Ill prefer all bookshelf as apartment is small and tv area no place for tower speaker. Hehe.
Whats a recommended set should i look for? No idea where to look for this. I go HT shop all they ask me mix and match but the budget come up quite high

Hi Sifus... What do u all think about the above system ? Is it a decent system for movies ? I'm not an audophile...

Above should be slightly better as it comes with sub and dolby vision atmos etc

If 5.1 is your ultimate goal and you do not intend to go beyond that, then the Yamaha RX-V4A is currently the best price-performance bang for buck you can get in Msia currently (Denon and Marantz is in a bad spot currently due to price hike). But it does mean that if you want to go higher than 7.1 (the max channels supported by the V4A) then you'll have to buy a new receiver in the future.

For a 2.0, I don't know why you'd want a tower speaker though when bookshelfs + sub offers better bang for buck as well as giving you the ability to place your sub in better spots of your room. I don't know what's your budget for speakers so I can't recommend any until you have one.
