Welcome to the club bro! Yammy FTW!

863 is abt RM2.8K+, right?

Megatron, Assembly BD sure went 'berserk' with the hi-def audio. Sub can tahan or not?

MX510, you are from Bangsar Branch? Which group? Maybe sama punya gang.

ya lo.... nowadays buy BD also gotta becareful

my pariah speakers some cannot accept la the HD audio format

gotta lower the volume

Maybe need to reduce the bass levels from the amp's tone controls and it should be fine.

Then again, tarak 'oomph' already.

my AVR set 0 for LFE also BASS 0

i dun play those EQ EQ thingie one la

Bro, when you got enough moolah, upgrade to mid-range spkrs n sub

aiyoh! htkaki, the taukeh driving a nissan gtr using silverstone tayar lah!

the problem is "WHEN"

looks like my plan to use back my old htib speaker when i change the amp have to b review

New proud owner of the Yamaha RX-V663.

No thx to anybody here

I got the technician to setup my own gear so booyah owned ya !

congrats on your new gear.....waht speakers u pairing with?

Creative Gigaworks S750 7.1 speaker surround system ........

Yes i know what your thinking ( da fuggin nub ).

What to do, i'm not a pro so i don't know what is a cheap and better alternative.

I've been asking around whether my speakers would work on this av receiver but nobody gave a damn except me so bleh -.-;


Anyway is the S750 speakers good enough or should i change the speakers ? ( my budget is rather low ... as in below 1k ..... )


Ps: i bought mine for Rm 1.8k LEGEND RAWKS! I'm a regular there

for 1k budget....I propose u get a pair of L/R speakers 1st...then slowly upgrade other ... the creative is not a proper HT material ler....

yea..slowly bro

get rid of the "creative"...it aint creative with those tiny subbie or small speaker tat can eventually mount "INTO" wall

When there's a will, there's a lorong.

simi lorong lu cakap

'lorong'?! Kid me not.... 'highway' is the better word here

AVR with pc speakers !!

Wah .... at first glance, sounds like TURBO ENGINE with 14" tyres. But who knows, maybe the combo is alright. Congrats

How come, you dun check your questions with LEGEND (they rock?).

I ask them already.

Actually the technician is coming over on Saturday to setup for me ( since im a nub... )

Asking for Yamaha speaker pricing

I also intend to start of with 2 front left and right speakers eventually.

The problem is, i don't know much about speakers. Like what is good, or not

My budget is 1000 :/


I was looking at the HTIB speakers which are thin champagne flutes ( think it was a LG ) that look fashionable and nice, although i don't know if these sort of speakers are worth their weight in gold o_O;

Is Legend the best place to go for speakers ? Maybe i can go window shopping first to see.


My ultimate goal is to achieve 5.1 surround sound.

Using the S750 on my pc with Auzentech Prelude sound card, i did not see much of a difference between 5.1 and 7.1 This may also be because there are rarely if any 7.1 surround sound audio material out there to begin with.

And from what Steve at Legend told me, this receiver doesn't matrix/upsample 5.1 sources to 7.1 anyway.

5.1 is good enough for me But need to start of with 2 speaker first cause expensive to buy 1 shot

However i need to one that is Rm 1000 below budget to get 2.1 stereo first, and maybe 5.1 eventually :]

Added on May 8, 2008, 5:39 pmAlso was buying the Yamaha 663 a good choice ?




I already have a PS3 so i knew it played the DTS, HD DTS and MA DTS, however i wasn't sure that you can hook up external speakers without an AV Receiver which was why i bought the 663.

So if you have a PS3 is it worth getting an AV receiver or is it not needed ? The video features aren't really needed by me as i have a popcorn media streamer that will play the videos for me. So the popcorn would pass through the audio to the AV Receiver to get DTS. Hopefully in future they will release a popcorn 2 that can pass through HD DTS and MA DTS.
