Thanks sham73!

I got my entire set from Legend SS2.
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V863
Front Speakers: Yamaha NS-555
Center Speakers: Yamaha NS-C444
Surround Speakers: Yamaha NS-333

The speakers came as a set.

I also managed to scrounge up some old Yamaha speakers that I have (NX-something) and made that my Surround Back speakers.

So far these are so much better sounding than my old Logitech Z-5500 Digital that has served me for the last 3 years.

Still very new in this very expensive hobby

Just a question, has anyone here with a RXV863 used the multi-channel input of the receiver?

Omg how much did you pay for the speaker set ?

Front Speakers: Yamaha NS-555
Center Speakers: Yamaha NS-C444
Surround Speakers: Yamaha NS-333

and where is your woofer ?

Oops.. woofer: Yamaha YST-RSW300

The whole set of speakers costs abt RM 3.6k incl. the woofer.

Was deciding whether I shld go for the Diamond 8's but finally decided on these becos of the piano black finishing that matches with the colour scheme of my living room

2 front speakers, a center speaker, 2 surround speakers, and a woofer. So Rm 3.6 k ......

Actually i am looking for a 5.1 surround sound speaker set. How does it sound for you on your receiver ? Our receiver is more or less the same

Looking forward to your review

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but for RM3.6k, why wouldn't you go for "proper" speaker brand rather than Yamaha?

RM3.6k is ok wat, if include AVR

I think RM3.6k is speakers only. For that price or a little more, can get brands like Mission, Monitor Audio, etc...

aiya... no parade la.. like i said still very new in this. have to talk more with all the sifus here.

as to why i chose yamaha... hehehe... actually its lack of self-control.

Based on my not-very-tuned ears... I feel that so far for movies it sounds way better than what i had... granted what i had were PC speakers la.

for music.. when listening through Pure Direct, it sounds natural, not very bass-y. i think the vocals are clear. I tried with one of the Mariah Carey CDs song "Fantasy" which has quite tight bass in the beginning and the bass wasnt that great. its ok for me because i prefer more vocal kind of music anyways.

i am sure listening to some of the setups of the sifus here will make mine sound really cheap..

Should have done a bit more research first. For sure those Yamaha speakers would sound better than your current setup with PC speakers, but I would have gone for speakers from specialist speaker manufacturers.

Yeah u r right - for speakers plus sub-woofer.
can i get mission speakers for this price?!

I said for that price or a little more. The Mission M3i series maybe can what.

hi guys, im aiming some yamaha speaker for home theater, budget less than 2.5k, may i know any recommended model to get? As my budget is quite tight, i don mind upgrade from 2.1 to 5.1 later.

ya monitor audio BR series around 3.5k only

You see!

But maybe without subwoofer. But even if you add another RM1k for a sub or thereabouts, I think worth paying RM1k extra to get Monitor Audio instead of Yamaha speakers.

Somebody was posting in some thread about his Mission M3i speakers. Where already ah?

actually only 3k exactly for BR2 and center plus surround. yes no sub but you could add one like you said. on sunday im going to give them a listen. these are highly rated by WhatHIFI

I heard these Mission M6i series and the whole set without sub is around 5.2k nia

Me-loh...In Onkyo tread....

Mission M33i = RM1180
Mission MH3 Center & Surround RM950

Finally upgrading your speakers eh?

I do share the same idea with Audio Nirvana as RM3.6K+ could buy better speakers. As for sub, SW150 or MS309 is very good and cheap too.

MS309 is not bad if you have a moderate sized living hall. Quite a capable sub even though the driver is made in Malaysia.

RM3.6k can get MS309 with MS floorstander, center and surround?

u guys sibek elite
few ks item, all label as only
