QUOTE(yfyap69 @ Jan 20 2008, 07:48 PM) Aiyoh...the more I hear the more confused I get. I thought I already made up my mind on 605 but now don't know already....... The CR40 + WH2 for RM1680!!!...expensiveAnyway, I found 1 set of Wharerdale Cyrstal (CR40x2, WH2 center and surround) for RM1680. Quite a good buy but not sure if can match the 605 or not because the shop only have Denon. This price is almost same like the Jamo 606. Another choice will be the Mordaunt Short Carnival 9 for RM2500. Which one will you go for? CR40 x 2, Desa Home Theater selling for RM550 WH-2 center can get for arond RM200 the WH-2 surround I think for RM400 if you buy everything together should be around RM1k nia.....for such old models.... |

who said Denon 1508 cannot do PCM 5.1????
that's the most basic signal and with HDMI 1.3a...1508 should not be a problem handling PCM 5.1...even my very old Sony can do PCM 5.1 with analog connection.....

QUOTE Denon's lower-priced receivers are similar, but there are some significant difference. The AVR-1508 and the AVR-1708 both offer dual HDMI 1.3a ports, but they're video-only ports, which means you'll need to make a separate connection for audio. The AVR-1908, on the other hand, offers true HDMI switching with audio, along with onscreen display, which both step-down models lack. The AVR-1708 and the AVR-1908 both feature Audyssey auto setup, along with upconversion to the component video output--the AVR-1508 is lacking both of these features. oh...sorry..their HDMI 1.3a is for video only...so funny  but they can still do PCM 5.1 if connect through analog connection....

the Jamo A102
...u gotta check with RX330, he has the set with him pairing with Onkyo SR605...and he said cannot hear the different between DD/DTS with LPCM 5.1/DolbyTrueHD....but refer to the spec...I think the dynamic range starting from 150Hz is too high and a lot of bass will be missing.... |
