Just now went to Desa HT at Lowyat, just asking the fella on the Yamaha 3800 pricing. He mentioned better get Marantz 8002. The Marantz is 1k more exp than Yamaha 3800 and way better.

Anyone experienced using Marantz before? I though they are only good in hifi and not AV amp.

very simple. buy by color choice.

if you want gold, buy marantz
if you like silver, get denon
titanium, go for yamaha!
if you like black, buy onkyo
if you blacker than black - pioneer

kautim.....

If you want crap, buy Pioneer.

*cabuts*

i went to my boss`s house. he showed off with his stereo system. he is using magnaplanar speaker. one speaker as big as door... if i`m not mistaken he bought it for USD20,000 last year

Uuuuhhhh USD20k huh? I bet the speaker at least can make ice blended cappucino

yed, is he using monoblocks?

He better be, would be a waste with some 2-channels.

At least some tubes, or Ayre monoblocks, Got for Theta terus.

Muahaha.

just curious, did u guys place your rear speakers and surround speakers with bracket on the wall ?

yeah..he is using monoblocks but i could not remember what brand he is using..maybe have to visit his house again..btw really impressed with the sound reproduction...

must be using CD transport too

depends on your setup and your room design

Mine is on speaker stands. Not wall mounted.

mine compact speakers...all on wall mount...

If I got moolah, I will buy Denon AVP-A1HD and POA-A1HD. Wasai, can shake whole house with its massive power (150W x 10 channels).

Before I just put on a stand at about sitting ear height, but I just kept wondering about why the 1800 manual saying I should put the surround speakers at 1.8 meters.

So I tried, all my 4 surround and surround back speakers are now mounted on the wall at 1.8 meters. Only the front speakers around at the TV height, and the centre speaker at it's usual place. Make sure the sub is not facing directly to the wall, must have some angle to allow the sound to travel around the room.

You guys should try it. The surround effect is much much more lively & realistic, sound image more accurate. It's really a lot more enveloping, which is also really good when you listen to music, especially those 5.1 concerts.

aiman, u mean the surrounds shud not be at ear level wen seating down?

shud be above?
