jiau sounds true also ... then might as well top up another 400 from the 700 to get the yammy 1800

Don't have time to audit 705 and yammy 1800 in shops yet. (Don't know which shop will have both these amps hooked up for testing )

Have you compared the above 2 ?

Specs almost similar, but sound quality?

Please advice .

I would take Yammy over Onkyo anytime and some said the Onkyo runs very very hot....

wei, of coz I would also like to take the yammy la.. but see price 1st...dunno. how much 1800 ??

The lowest I came accross is RM3680 at a shop in Amcorp Mall

3680 ar..u think give it another 3 moons, will it dro pto 3k?

the thing is, if im getting, i will get it from hk

705 selling around hkd 5000(rm2000) and 1800 is hkd9000(rm3700)......so the topup is now rm400...

then the Onkyo is overprice in bolehland, the yammy is almost same price worldwide

yap u r right, infact most staff are over price here including food.... if compare our jiran jiran... sigh

in hk so cheap only??????
got lobang for another unit?

looking for lobang to ask ppl to bring back, ofcouse without tax lah...... but that thing is 11.5kg.....

actually fly there to buy also good.... treat it as 'extra' holiday. buy amp free ticket hahaha.... but only worry is the tax lah

11.5 not tat heavy, even kena tax, still worth it, 30% , buthor.. problem is warranty nia..

that ah 1 yr mah worse come to worse send for repair after few months loh. still have backup solution mah.

11.5kg asking ppl to bring back.... feel shy lah

no international warranty?

like tat i go spore get better

yammy 1800 = 4299 in desa home theater but if almost same price like 705 i dont mind also hehe
anyhow yammy too many connection for me , doubt i will really use them all
4 hdmi 4 optical countless composite and component
they show me denon 5 set speaker rm1499 seems like a good deal for me

not sure abt the warranty, what i mean is if worse come to worse just pay the repair cost loh. by any chance the normal repair cost can goes up to 1/3 of the item price?

There is one local distributor that refuse to repair 'grey import' of a reputable Hi-Fi brand that they carry. So, better check first.

Last time Sony M'sia did repair my CD discman and video camera bought from Japan.....with a fee off course...

Maybe only distributor won't do the repair but if the holding company have their own marketing/trading company here, they will.

Lets list down those company with own service center and not through distributor in M'sia:-

1. Sony
2. Yamaha
3. JVC
4. Canon
5. Panasonic


Those using distributor:-
1. Toshiba (Teledynamics)
2. Denon (Woo Kee)
3. Pioneer
4. Onkyo

Please add on

i dun think sony will do tat now....

11.5kg from HK not so expensive.. if I use my fedex is super discount rate also can..
which shop? hivizone ar?

go HK to buy better

I think 1800 yammy (us street prices over USD1k) also cannot fight SR805 prices (iUS street price below USD1k) also..

so conclusion, yammy 1800 is also overpriced worldwide..
