Hold on to your 605 plans. New models on the way...

Hmmm, I wonder if you're not fussed about having the new model, whether you could pick up a 605 at a very low clearance price.

Be careful about the Onkyo power ratings. The sneaky buggers tend to quote their power rating into 6ohms rather than the usual 8ohms, and only 1 channel driven.

Like here, if you don't know better, you see the 175watts power rating also you get damn steam already...

Onkyo wins yet another group test

I wonder if there's more chance to get away with it if you put it in a large suitcase and wheeled it by foot over the causeway, or perhaps go across by bus. I'm just thinking that the customs officers would discriminate against people using this mode of transport (ie. foot and bus) and make the assumption that they couldn't really afford to buy anything valuable anyway.

To attract even less attention, can stick the Onkyo into those red/blue/white striped carry bags.

True also. All those old methods of getting the shop to write down the price of the equipment in the receipt is pretty useless, because the customs officer will check whether the stated price is reasonable or not by searching on the internet.

I wonder if you just conveniently leave a RM50 note on top of the Onkyo box in your boot, whether can work or not?

What would be funny is if the customs officer suddenly turned around and said "Aiyo, kenapa you beli Onkyo 605? Onkyo 606 sudah keluar lah. Tapi saya lebih suka Yamaha RXV-1800".

Ya lor, with their "takings", government officials may have home theater more impressive than itu budak PSP.

Why you so scared? Nowadays got more freedom of speech liao.

OK lah.

*zips mouth*

Small fries like me no need to worry about ISA. Elite like you maybe should worry.

Worse, if you're at a petrol station near your house, and then suddenly you realise the stuff in the van looks strangely like the stuff in your house.

Elite until scared kena mugged in Kepong. kekeke

Better to avoid speakers with too many drivers like this. Much better to have only 2 mid/bass drivers at most.

"New" from NAD. For GBP900, you get 5.1 channels, 5 x 80 watts, and no HD decoding. Wow!

Sarcastic wow lah. Amazed by how they're so at the forefront of new technology.

Now is this nice or what? Even 875 also got no fight to this.

He won't taste... wrong brand.

It's not just in the specs, functions and features. It's the quality of the sound that it'll deliver to your speakers.

If say like that, Denon stereo amplifier would be better than Krell, since it has more functions and more buttons to press.
