Just coming back from gatevalve house......and bought onkyo 606 from him.Very nice guy. Got free gift also center speaker (thanks bro). All in mint condition. Test kaw2, from ori DVD, chap ayam DVD, CD and apple tv. Mmg berbaloi.

how much you got it for ?

rm 1.6k for 4 months old stuff.gave him my mordaunt short 5 center speaker as a free gift as i'm not using it anymore.....kef iq6 in place now.
now i'm using pioneer lx 60 avr to match with my pioneer 51FD blue ray player.same color (black).

hehehhe...wahhh already taken pioneer lx 60 kaa? I bought front speaker Q acoustics to match with ms center speaker. Waiting budget to get subwoofer pulak.

pioneer lx 60 good with the price i paid for.
i guess q accoustic will be a good match for ms front speaker.
for set up/tuning i suggest you do the manual with spl meter. should explore the hidden capability of 606.you could get the best gears but if the tuning and set up cikai one than you will start to upgrade your equipment.try to get a good installer with really can help you.

Yep, agreed with you. Tuning is very important things to do. Still newbie bro....manual also belum abis baca...ekekekek..

hw much u paid for?

rm 3.7 including tuning etc, by av designs.

woot! seriously damn good price! i tot market price around rm5.xk cool looking avr.. anyway hows the sound quality?

u better tune ur system kaw2 otherwise you will end up like me......
3 avrs in one year.......dunno how to tune and always blame the equipment.
try to maximise all the features in your equipment since 606 is really goo avr is sub rm 2k price bracket.

PheeWWW 3 AVRs in a year..dude ur damn rich man!!

not rich, but i got no sifu to guide me and also always follow review by magazine.review is just a revie always trust our ears and wallet.

some shop they will not help you for fine tuning (after sales service) because they try to squeeze the customer.when we tell them that we are not happy with our system they always say "you need new, amp speaker, player, cable, bla bla etc."

only a few will say " i will help you to tune your system".

i've been in a lot of shops (more than 10 in kl).somehow i knew which one is good or not so good.......especially after sales service.

Added on January 11, 2009, 7:09 pmi'm lucky to get that price...sound quality very good/dynamic, good separation and a bit on bright side which suit to my ears .initially i wanted to get yamaha rv 1800 (at RM 3.2k).but this one very good looking, black colour and match with my pioneer 51FD player.during, set up and tuning asked the installer to do it properly no rushing, reposition again my existing speakers, tested with true hd/master hd bluray disc, ori dvd, pirated dvd, astro, cd and also radio.it took almost 2 hours.
i think that spl meter is really good aid man.
now still kenot sleep properly because the eco sound...................kuuuurooo,kuro,kuuuurooo.

whoaa good to know you r happy with ur system now..i guess i shd get a spl meter in future to callibrate my system..for now i am happy with my noob tuning but i am sure it can be better..initially i was aiming for lx50 but finally go for rxv1800 with the same price and better specs..anyway lx60 at rm3.6k is definitely a good buy..mind posting ur set up pics to share share..hehe

@gatevalve

price without tuning how much ? kuro...kurooo...buke kuro-kuro...ekekekke

specs is another thing that make one amp more expensive than other.btw we should ask ourself...do we really need those features.
eg; ipod,multiroom channel, i don't need need these actually.all i need ...upscaling,decoding and good dynamic sound.
will take picture and post it later after i do some housekeeping on the cable.

Added on January 15, 2009, 6:11 pmHow's the upscaling PQ of lx60 on DVD and Astro as compare to Onkyo which uses Faroudja chipset?

guys,

is it worth buying the onkyo 606 from usa? costwise, it's cheaper. amazon usa selling at USD365 and say shipping is USD100 by UPS, all in all factor in 10% tax that will come to almost RM1800. that is about RM1K savings.

the setbacks are no warranty and need a step down transformer due to 110V used for USA's electrical product.
