2100.. nice.. ill try to swing by singapore somehow.. haha

first time i todl taxi to go adelphi, he go bring me to delphi.. and he ask me 'wah so early oso want ka?'

I'm from Penang and ask my KL friend to carry the previously 805 bulk all the way to Penang. We both feel this is the best buy of the year.

yap im using, so far so good.

those they had were black....price displayed were equivalent to RM8,500 for 876 and RM11,000 for 906.

saw these at an exhibition over the weekend.

Just managed to bring home 805 today. Still reading through the manual...

I guess you are looking for sub mainly for movie.

If you are looking for a good sub, then please forget abt the Roger 'whoompa, whoompa' sub. CHT-12R would be ideal with enough oomph for movies.

If not mistaken, it is abt RM7.5K.

CHT-12R is abt RM2.6K+

thanks anfieldude 

frankly,i dun really care 876 come with WBT spk terminal ( of course i'll be more happy if it does ).Read reviews from avsforum and most buyer satisfy with their purchase.  I havent really tested the 876 but sad to say for those who complaint about the heat on 875,it still happen in 876,maybe not as hot but not much diff.I heard it produce more heat when using its Reon chips for upscalling,not sure how true.

i notice some different and i love the " Newly Designed GUI for System Set-up ",the words seem much sharper i oso love the " THX Ultra2 Plus Certified"," THX Loudness Plus", " THX Ultra2 Music / Game" ,i dun really heard how "WOW" are those but the words looks quite "class"

I'm still using manual set up so no comment on Audyssey mic and its features yet.

any owner of 875 & 805 fixed an 'external' fan on top of thier amp. where can i get one of this and the good brand? 

thanks HornyAngMoh for sharing,the tips making the fan silence is very useful

Tried this method with 876,it doesnt work,any idea how to check the tempreature on 876?

The method should work. Make sure you are pressing at the receiver and not the remote.

Switch on the receiver.

Keep pressing the display button on the receiver. Then while pressing the display button, press standby button once and release. Then release display button. Then press the "tone" button on the receiver. Should work. Just confirmed. Sometimes if the sequence is off, it shows the firmware...

If after doing this, you see the words "bass" then the sequence is wrong. Bear in mind you will only see the temperature on the receiver display and it will not appear on the TV.

i saw one,Nippon Brand,normal type with 240V 0.13A,like mentioned,a bit noisy

anfieldude,ya,some hi-end audio amp need warm up 1st for better sound,i had some valve amp last time Sonic Frontier (valve Pre amp) which perform good only after half an hour switch on.For this 876,even at 40+ degree after pasang the fan like Horny,should be "warm" enuf for better sound ? Or we require Horny to test for us with/without fan sound,haha.Honestly,i bet not much different la,but cooler should be better la,at least feel safer

My cooler is similar to the above,  but not so expensive. Here's how it looks on top of my receiver. 

Guys, I am looking to get a Onkyo AVR and some speakers ... One of my main criteria is that it must have clear audio for dialogue and still clear during at night .... when overall volume is low.

Just wondering if anyone with the following setup or other similar setup can share their thoughts.

Onkyo TXSR505B/605B + Jamo S606HCS3

Listened to some demo in Senq and the speakers sounds awesome when loud but couldn't test low volume as the place was too noisy.

Cheers

hv u considered trying the Wharfy Diamond series? i'm pairing my 875 with Diamond 9.4 - front, CS - centre, 9.1 surround and SW150 - subwoofer. i guess u can get all this within the budget, depend on how u nego. with my rrom size of 11 x 9, no issue at all. just my 2 cents

not sure abt the price for 9.6, might need to check with Desa HT - Kepong. but i'm sure this is very big spkr, with 4 driver. unless ur room is big, if not 9.5 is good enough. the wharfy sound is warmth. 

fan is noisy no matter what! But big massive heatsinks need air and space to work properly...

For most onkyo, you can effectively cool the thing using fans...but onkyo's engineer claimed that the AVR was designed that way without the need of external fan...have you ever heard anyone AVR failed due to overheat??

For those who stack anything above the AVR, you better find ways not to block the airflow above the unit...give the thing to breath! Go get an open rack system..

Anyway, the thing will cut off itself.. if temp is unbearably hot!

p/s dont even think of supercool it as your music wont go any faster this way...[leave it to those overclocker enthusiast from the PC forum]
