I dont think so, last time i bought my 506 from senQ, they priced me at 1.4K++, but when google on some famous hi-fi shop, last priced they can offer me 1s 1.7++..what a diff

Hi mpyw,

Do you still remember what the PrimeAV magazine Nov 07 issue 151 mentioned about Onkyo 805?

yup hifi shop sometimes they thought they really high end so the price also high end.... i asked one hifi shop about optome hd65, they sold above 4k(two weeks ago)....crazy man....

anyway back to onkyo, as long u buy in MSIA, not worth it....dunno why Hwee Send mark up so high!!!!

ahh...i see
i need to go korek that mag out liao, haha

need to flip back my old mags to see....

thanks mpwy

so u mean tat buying onkyo in singapore is much cheaper ??
hmm..how bout warranty wise..issit international warranty or wat?
problem is..how to pass kastam ar ??

Hi guys what do you think of denon 1509 & 1909?
i like 1909 a lot but i can only afford 1509.
do you think i should just end up with 1509?
Thank you..

denon 1509 is an very entry level AVR..
so far never see AV shops bring in that..mostly bring in 1909 onwards..
may be u can ask "junwei" forumer about it..

Thank you Swine..

There must be a Denon thread somewhere, which should have higher chance to have replies from Denon owners.

I have browsed throught the threads and sadly found NONE.....

Shall we open a new Denon AVR thread for all the owners please.....@_@

There seems to be tonnes of posts in AVForums about Denon AVR. Sounds like a hot item in UK.

yeah u r right..
denon is hot in UK..those hi end model 3808,4808 is normal for them..which here selling at sky high price $$$$
and i nearly end up in denon

those 4308, 3808, 2808, 2309....it's all mid-level to the US/UK customer....their prices there are so competitive with the Yamaha prices unlike here....Yamaha seem like proton to everyone and Denon is the Benz and Onkyo is the Jap made....

aiman04,mind to share how's ur EQ setting ( i know different room,speaker matching will give diff result ) but since i dun have the SPL meter to calibrate everything,maybe can use ur setting as a reference and test test water in my 876

like mentioned earlier, i found some improvement after the auto calibrate,now feeling itchy to manually calibrate the EQ,all this while i'm using DynamicEQ or EQ XT.

thanks in advance ya

I do have an SPL meter, but I don't have the test tones CD to properly calibrate all the frequencies.

So I just adjust the EQ while listening to a music, and adjusts until it sounds the best to my ears. You have to do it yourself, because what's best to my ears may not necessarily be the same with others, especially with different sets of speakers.

To me, when it's good with music, it will sound good with movies too. I listen to music 60% of the time.

If you can get a music CD with variety of instruments played then that would be the best. There's somewhere online where you can buy this test tones CD, or maybe download it.

Brother, that's not the right way to get product at singapore,
the kastem vampire will disturbing you, do you have any
friends working at singapore and plan to come back to malaysia?
they can bring back the electric product, means every model with
one set without any tax charges, cause i have been brought back one
set of ht system from singapore on year 2001, without pay any tax.

for them is just sap sap the water..
for us an entry level 2309 is nearly 3k dy..cant imagine those 4808,5308
btw is denon sold in malaysia made in japan? and come wit 2 years warranty?
may be that is the reason due to the high pricing for their quality
i forgot to see the manufacturing when went to audition last time

I heard there are a few versions for 2309 not sure how true it is. Some with pre-out (made in japan) and some without (made in china)..

u got quoted near to 3k for 2309? where did u get quoted? I got 3.4k..and that's quite a good price already (with installation)..

ya..the black and silver version..but i not sure is made from where..
and if not mistaken the silver is much more expensive, 3.2k
the black is like wat we said "water stock" in cantonese 2.9k
hopefuly i dun get the color mix up in the opposite way..
