If any of your guys wanna go for Yamaha amp, go for their mid range model at least (4 digits model)...baru ada uhhhmmm ...

NP110 or NSP110? If it's the satellite speakers i would say no for music. I had one and it's somewhere in my store right now.
For movies i guess it's quite good for it's price.

hello guys, just join today

recently i bought 1800, so for starter should i use automatic setting or manual setting?

my current gears are:

Front >> KEF IQ9 ( wireworld orbit)
rear >> KEF IQ5 or IQ7 (sometimes i used 7.1 config)
(taralabs xxx i forgot the name)
Center>> KEF Q9C (taralabs)
Sub >> B&W ASW 300 (audioquest xxx also forgot)

any suggestion will be highly appreciated

good setup u have there...
just use the YPAO setting 1st, if you don't like it, change to to your preference later...

i never like using ypao ever since 461.

so if i want to use manual, does anyone know how to maximize?

then your have to use your ear....
or get a SPL meter and a measurement tape for speakers distance...
but adjustment of the EQ for each channel might be tricky...

do you have any idea how to set crossover, frequency etc?

i really confused setting up those channel?

check your speaker res. frequency, those thing like 40Hz-20kHz thing
most of the time we set the cross over like 10-20Hz above the speakers' lower limit (40Hz - 20kHz, set at 60Hz or 80Hz)

THX recommendation is 80Hz, means all sound below *0Hz will sent to the sub woofer to handle.

errr... i'm quite confused,

so if my IQ9 specs like this:
Crossover frequencies: 250Hz, 2.8kHz. Frequency range: 38Hz–40kHz. Sensitivity: 91dB. Nominal impedance: 8 ohms. Recommended amplification: 15–200W.

The iQ7 has a 40 Hz - 40 kHz frequency response, 90 dB sensitivity, 15 - 150 watt power handling, and is 34" high, 8.7" wide, and 12.9" deep

what's your recommendation?

thx before

if u can set individual crossover for each channel then just set 10-20Hz above the lower limit....if only one crossover (which I thick RX-V1800 only able to do 1), depends on your center which you did not mention, I would suggest you set it at 60Hz (if the center can go below 50Hz) or 80Hz for safe size.

Is there any decent surround amp from yamaha around Rm1000? My firend looking for a decent budget amp.

I won't suggest you use YPAO unless your room is sound proof. If open space like living room you won't able to get accurate measurement since u will have echo back from the wall...

Instead, i set distance for each speaker & volume output from each speaker...to get the best center staging.

Hi,

Am looking at the product bulletin for both the RX-V863 and the RX-V1065
Some of the differences i've noted are:

1065 has
USb port in front
1 extra HDMI port
GUI on-screen display wit album art

don't notice any other differences.

In this case, i think i'll just pick up the 863.
some have claimed that the 863 is running out of stock - is this true?
Also, price range should be around RM2.6-2.7k?

why don't you upgrade your choice to 1800?

that's what i did, first, i'm thinking to buy 863, then dealer recommend me 1800

the price gap is less than $200

since 1800 build in material is better than 863, so the sound produces well.

Yes, it is running out of stock as new models are coming in.

As tongkito pointed out, if you are able to find 1800 at a fraction more, go for it.

agree, since the price different is not that much
but very hard to find 1800 nowadays, everywhere also no stock

same as in Jakarta, i got the last stock w/ clearance sale US$1100

most of shops selling 1900, but i think the difference is not important.

who care about digital radio broadcast??

anyway why would i use my quite expensive 1800 just for digital radio

From 1600 to 1900, basically each model also not much different...if can get this mid range model around RM2K++ would be very very good price is standard price would be about Rm4K

yess, my old 1600 sound quality almost the same as my 1800, since both using the same material i guess.

that's one of yamaha weakness, no additional power or feature between 1600-1900, except those HD audio and digital broadcast

Hi,

Any idea how much the new model 765 and 1065 selling?

Have a good day ahead.
