wow..only 700Sing x 2.4 = RM1680! can buy for me or not?

ya....i also want to know, seriously. which shop and where?

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.

spore shop got online ordering or not? if air travel to spore will cost about RM600. see calcs below:

take Airasia to spore, roundtrip ticket is about RM220. roundtrip to LCCT terminal from home in KL RM150. roundtrip from changi airport to sim lim square RM250. so total is RM620.

onkyo in spore sgd700 = RM1680 plus RM620 = rm2300 less gst refund = RM118, so net = RM2182

desa selling RM2600.

hmmm.....is it worth it?
