Yamaha Malaysia pricing strategy is always very good. It is almost identical unlike Denon and Onkyo. Probably due to its own control and not through distributor (after all, they need to 'survive')

looks like 765=663 & 1065=863 but both new models have 4 hdmi inputs which makes them superior than their predecessor..  ..how bout the pricing? will the 765 cost as much as the 663? |

QUOTE(ah_chak @ Mar 23 2009, 10:01 PM) Hey dudes.. just got my RX-V663, pairing it with Monitor Audio BR2 Fronts and Mordaunt Short 905i Centre.. as for the sub, i'm currently using the Monitor Audio BW10, i have a unit of RS12 with me currently, now having a headache between both of the subs.. the BW10 is just nice for my room.. but when the bass digs deeper, the wind noise is quite audible as it's a ported sub. The RS12 is a sealed sub and the bass is just wonderful.. the problem is.. does the price justifies the difference ? it's about 80% more from the BW10  Your 663's power capable enuf for your BR2 & MS centre ? How bout surround ? |

I will have just a few hours in Kuala Lumpur at the end of the month. Hoping to buy a Yamaha RX-V665 - I believe it will be available by then.
slightly out of topic, I will be also looking for a Sony compact digital camera such as DSC-W290.
What is a good reliable place in KL to buy the latest Yamaha AVR receivers at the best price, and where they sell cameras also ?
Somebody had suggested Bukit Bintang plaza. Is it a good location to find the yamaha receivers and the cameras ?

Depending on which model.
Normally, each have their 'trademark' characteristic:
Yamaha - Balance of music and movie. Aint the most powerful bass. Good surr steering.
Denon - excellent surr steering with ample clarity. Not so good in music.
Marantz - Always too safe on bass for movie. Music, no need to mention since it's renowned for it.
Onkyo - Heavy bass. Surr steering is good

Does anybody know whether Yamaha feature called Digital Top Art actually means anything in real life ?
I am considering whether to buy RX-V565 or RX-V665. The only useful extra feature that the RX-V665 has, is the Digital Top Art.
But is are they really using better components or circuits? Or is it just marketing name to sell for higher price?
