I read review Velodyne subs perform very good with movie but mediocre with music. The subs is all about power but not finesse. Owners got any comment?

Wharfy subs cheaper but don't know whether as good as Velo or not.

Actually I'm more preferred to SVS than Velodyne. Even their 10" sub, PB10-NSD can go as deep as 20Hz. Got very good reviews too. One reviewer compares this to REL.

But sadly it's not available locally, ordering online is too risky and with tax, may cost even more than Velodyne CHT-12R.

Just visited Desa Kepong last week. They didn't have SW250, but a WH series, 210 I think. Maybe their Lowyat Plaza branch has it.

The Kepong HQ is at the Desa Kompleks, between MRR2 and Jalan Kepong, not far from Jusco Metro Prima.

I went there twice, the Desa Kompleks really in bad shape like Imbi Plaza, but then, the prices at Desa Kepong really cheaper than their branch at Low Yat Plaza. Thinking of buying either a Marantz or Denon universal dvd player from them to listen to my SACDs and DVD Audios in my next trip to KL. They quoted me a very good price if I pay cash.

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

I've just finished hooking up the amp and played some scenes from the Mr & Mrs Smith and Dave Matthews BD. Fantastic stuff, definitely a big improvement from my Denon AVR-1705 thumbup.gif

U know when I stayed in SS1 last time Legend is a very good shop. All my household electrical equipment totaling RM30k+ bought from them. Then I move house and after a few years when I go back there again, they have grown from 1 door to 3 doors but surprisingly the good service has gone. I thought maybe I got a "kambeng" laugh.gif salesman the 1st time so I don't mind going back for yammy sub but got the same experience. I only bought my 663 there bcoz I can't find it elsewhere cheaper than them rolleyes.gif
