Thanks bro, there was a good promotion during the launch and some freebies that I found hard to resist, price difference is just 1k compared to 3600, so I decided to get 3700 instead. Not to mention excellent service from the dealer name start with C__, they promise to deliver before CMCO start and they do keep their promise , happy with the receiver  so far:)

They don't ship to Msia lol. Already e-mailed them before. That Asia distro centre is only for SG.
Ported are nice for movies because below 30hz (which is where a lot of action movies have their bass mixed), the ported sub is 2-3 times louder than a sealed sub. With SVS ported subs, it doesn't mean they suck for music either.

your 14*14 is all brick wall or some of it partition?

PB1000 is enough but a terrible choice due to your room shape. 14x14 is a perfect square and square shaped rooms are arguably the worst rooms for properly balancing bass (octagon shaped rooms probably the worst).

This is because a square room would double the wavelengths of frequencies since all walls are equidistant to each other (your ceiling being only 9ft doesn't help either). Let's take an example at 80hz - this frequency point is often regarded as one of the most important frequency because it's the most used crossover point for the majority of theater setups. An 80hz wavelength is roughly 16ft, but in a square shaped room that doubles to 32ft. Now your room is 14ft long and wide, this means the 80hz frequency would be bouncing through your room twice on each wall before the energy of it dissipates! That would create what most people perceive as "boomy" or "bass ringing".

The lower the frequency you go, the longer the wavelengths are and the worst it gets for a small square shaped room.

So really, I think you should look into getting multiple subs instead of 1 big one. In this case dual SB1000s (smaller sealed vs a single ported) would be a much better than a single PB1000.

currently 4 subs in the house... wifey will divorce if i try more   eons ago my old rel strata only 60w and was enough... but nowadays watts is cheap and ht more demanding... go demo to find out lor, no need to guess enough or not...

the dali chart, what i can see it starts at 20hz, it has a peak bump just before 40hz that's the port tuning... it doesn't look like it has any dsp and if such, the freq resp is actually ok... svs uses dsp so obviously flatter and more extended...

imho main issue is below 40hz, dali output drops quite a lot... svs output remains flat to around 28hz... mtgh's 14ft room needs as much output he can get below 40hz
front speakers with a small 4.5" driver is flat to ~85hz in a tiny seal box, and ~70hz in a tiny ported box...a normal bookshelf goes down to ~50 hz easy... that's why i say sub with wide freq resp as shown by svs up to 260hz, this spec is not important because we'd be rolling that off way early already......the wide range looks good on paper and good for marketing
he did says he's got a very good deal... like i said, dali will shake butts, svs will have more quality bass and shake butts too...

yo guys,

My friend finally got the yamaha rx-a2a from a&l audio (from ct seong, because his service is too good). Got himself a starke sound sw12 subwoofer for the av amp (from my other friend), and set it all up with his edifier unused satellite (s550).

It brought a big smile to him n his wife.

The yamaha design is neat, easy to clean and sounds nice. Although the ypao doesnt really gives him what he wants, but he just takes time to adjust the gain.

Now left the last speaker poison which i need to add in few months later     

If anyone here has yamaha amp experience, please let me know which brand to pair with it.

Thanks so much for the heads up before this.
