Everything the FS52 can do, the CS3 just does better. Tonality, transparency, neutrality, detail retrieval, soundstage, low end thump, pretty much everything, the CS3 > FS52. The only thing the FS52 beats the CS3 at is price.

RM800 vs RM1200 (pair), is the CS3 worth the extra RM400? IMO yes. The FS52 can often times struggle with very dynamic bass or very sharp treble, when any source that has these kind of load, the FS52 just can't handle the transient load and worse still, distort. The CS3? Believe me when I say this, it doesn't. Mind blowing that Sony could achieve something of such balance at this price point, on a floorstander.

tldr; The FS52 sounds constrained, dull and struggles when place side by side in comparison to the CS3, in the same environment condition, fed with the same source.
Special order from Sony Malaysia.
Call them.

And yes, they use banana plug connections.
It is.
Sony is selling the DN1060 now, RM2.6k + free BDP S7200 + free MDR-1ABT headphones.

Yes you read that right, insane value.

But to be honest, I don't think the DN1060's nature of wide soundstage, laid back sound is a good match for the Core series speakers. The Core series speakers are already very neutral, in fact some might even say it's a bit too bright and on the cold side. You'd want a semi-warm receiver/amp.

If discrete amp like the TA-A1ES, you'll need to special order from them. But again, I don't think they're a good match either for the Core series speakers.

Thank you Sir...for replying my post. So I guess I can only buy them via Sony Store online for RM699.00. Only worried about delivery (damage to the goods) hmm.gif

Thanks for your reply. Just called Sony@The Curv and they have the stock at their place. Going there tomorrow to get the speakers. Btw. just to double confirm, the speaker connector at the back using "banana" plug connectors?

Thanks again for your reply, appreciated. biggrin.gif

Yes banana plugs on all the core series speakers actually.
If you are gonna get a sub below 1k you might as well don't bother getting a sub. Wasting money for garbage, mostly.

If you are getting the CS3, its bass is actually quite adequate. It won't rumble your floors or tear down your walls, but will definitely give you that chest thump. Best of all, it doesn't distort like a complete mess like most cheap sub 1k subs.

Again, thank you Sir for your advice. This is the advice I need instead wasting my money on cheap woofer. I guess I will stick with CS3 at the moment until I have enough $$$$ for a woofer.

Thanks again and have a good weekend thumbup.gif

cheers

I'm looking just for a "Digital Radio" deck which I can connect to my AMP. It's hard to find online.
Anyone here can recommend? Appreciate for your help.

Hi guys, do we still have "radio" decks specifically connect to an AVR and only play radio stations? My AVR Radio is dead but the AVR still good and no plans to change for now.

When I connect my NVIDIA Shield TV PRO to Yamaha AV-RX-V385 AVR the output it projects to my 4K TV is not HDR. When I connect directly, NVIDIA Shield TV to my 4K TV it detects HDR.
So is it correct to say that my AVR does not support HDR? Is there anyway to overcome this?

That's because your v385 is set in HDMI output mode 2. Set it to mode 1.

Don't ask how, it's in the manual.

Thanks for your reply bud. It is already set to mode 1, this is the first thing I check when I was having this issue.

Check the Shield's display settings then?

I have a Shield Pro connected to an even older receiver (RX-A850) than yours in my bedroom and it passes through HDR with zero issues. So it's definitely not the receiver's problem.

You Shield settings, is it custom or default settings you choose? Need further info in order to configure the settings. Thanks again for your help.

cheers!

I also believe something to do with HDCP because mine shows 1.4 but I cannot confirm if this is the issue. hmm.gif

Manage to fix this issue, just sharing what I did. Change my AVR ARC connection from TV ARC to TV HDMI2 (HDR10 Supports) and it works. Weird how come this could work confused.gif so now my AVR ARC not connected to TV ARC.
