OMG!!! This is what i'm wating for . g5sim, please pm me if u got any news about it (eg. if it arrived here including the price and where to buy).

this is what the HD DVD and Blu-ray Disk boys are waiting for actually. YOu want to pair it with your BD player/PS3 izit. Imagine the lossless sound through HDMI connected to this baby. x the MRSP $500 to foreign exchange rate RM3.7 = RM1850 ..... cheaper than PS3 itself .. with HD A2 selling at $320 .. HT never been this "affordable"

get HTKaki or others to bulk it lah !! hehehe

OMG HD receiver!I want! Don't forget that its cheap because its not locally taxed yet

What is the final price on RM........???

i bet its below RM2500 .. its 90 RMS watt only what. not that we need 190 RMS watt per channel anyway

Added on April 11, 2007, 1:57 pmcome come - we get people to bulk .. siriousgold, HTKaki, who ever lah !! minimum five units per bulk

Looks good. Which shop carries this brand?

"this brand" .. onkyo wor? every HT shop carries Onkyo brand

I guess that's the entry level model as it didn't mention much on the DAC used for the conversion. Of course, for the price, who will complain. Hopefully, the higher end models are below RM4K

If its below RM2,500, I will be very interested. For me its either TX-SR605 or Onkyo TX-SR674 now.
However would any of you all know any place with available units of the TX-SR604 or TX-SR674, just want to personally have a feel of the sound and image quality first.

wow! good news n highly affordable too. *scratching itchy hands*

I was surprised, thinking it is RM399

huh? you thought its Jalan Pasar amp izit?



so when are you bulking?

Any news?
Where I can find it here? Thanks.

If it's below RM2.5k, i will buy it...

The BIG question is, where to buy it?If any of u guys hv any info, please post it here.

I guess it won't be available in Malaysia yet unless they have rolled out all the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray players and softwares here. Heard that Speedy Videos will be bringing in those HD goodies but they're holding back their decision as the current local Blu-Ray player from Sony retails at RM4,999. So to get more people to buy, they really have to lower their price to an acceptable range first.

but but we do have PS3 or XBox 360 owners with HD DVD add on who are willing to buy those disks though

Nice pricing for all the top notch features that it provides. At least a decent receiver that you don't have to win a lottery in order to buy.

"*7.1 Multichannel Inputs for PCM Delivery of Hi-Def Audio Sources"

huh?
