I am sort of cheapskate guy blush.gif Used to buy my cables from Spore since it is cheaper there. Here, I would opt for used cables. Better value for my hard earned money tongue.gif

People, what speaker sounded good with 663 especially for movies and sound effects? Don't have to be the best. Maybe something not more than RM5K for 5 speakers (subwoofer not included). I want to go speaker shopping but not sure where to start. Most of speakers recommendation here are more for music listening. Is KEF good? Where to get? Desa Kepong?

KEF is distributed by Tong Lee in Lowyat plaza and Sitiawan.

You'll be surprise the price at AV fair this year won't be cheaper than you expected. That's the tips from A&L  whistling.gif

Bro, some of the speakers price will be increased w.e.f. from 01.07.08. Then, dont expect cables to be cheap (on big discount) too. Maybe a bit of discount for current LCD TV and plasma tvs. New gen AVRs will be expensive as usual with minimal discount sad.gif doh.gif Projectors as usual esp Panny, which we see on newspaper. My take is those obsolete stuffs will be on offer with limited units as usual. whistling.gif

Velodyne CHT-R series is made primarily for movie. SW250 is with music in mind. However, it couldnt keep up with the sheer room shaking power of CHT-10R in movie.

Then again, SW250 is a nice looking sub while CHT is a bit dull looking. Both with remote for convenience.

The 1800 price is tempting. That's why I have thought of buying it before as denon and Onkyo are too pricey here.

by all means, go for 863. Most of the Pioneer AVR's AQ seems bright to me and it lacks the solid authority of Yammy.

How much for the AAD? Cant comment on it since no chance to audition yet

Upconvert is that the AVR will convert lower tier signal to the higher tier.

e.g. S-video upconvert to Component or HDMI.

Here, the signal remain at its native form.

Upscale is when the AVR the resolution from an input source (say 480p)to higher resolution

Just plug it into any composite and audio input of 663.

PC composite audio out? You mean analog audio is it? Same as above.

Anyone here has Marantz CD5001 CD player? Just wanna know which is the best connection to my 663? Analog or digital. Which has the best DAC processor for playing CDs? CD5001 or 663? hmm.gif

My bet is CD5001 has better DAC. Use analog (if for me)

Clicking sound? No clipping hor? sweat.gif

Tilt the center speakers upward to ain at your listening position. This way, the dialogue will sound better. Mine is tilted even it is on speaker stand.

Then, don't install the center too high up. Tilt it downward.
