not suitable for high-power AVR and speakers cause difficult to position sound movement

actually if using powerful AVR and speakers ... 5.1 setup already unspeakable ... don't need 7.1 ... unless you have a very big room

I tried Pioneer most advanced EX Speaker series with AVR LX-70 ... 5.1 setup only ... in around 20'x25' room ... the sound quality unbelievable ... the speaker itself cost >100k and front speaker each weight around 45kg ... so I don't think need 7.1 in this case

Pioneer high-end products never into mass market ... their target is $$ people

if anyone has opportunity ... look at Pioneer LX series ... then you get better picture

Pioneer EX speaker using Technical Audio Devices' (TAD) ... those who playing AV ... should know TAD

anyway, I try to find which AV shop has B&W 800 series for me to test ... then Pioneer vs B&W ... cool drool.gif

For the same price, I can go for true high end brands, even if for no other reason than snob appeal. Which sounds better?

true high end brands ... please give example ... if it is available here, I will go test it smile.gif

Go to Monsoon on Jalan Maarof Bangsar and try speakers like the B&W800D. But beware, they're quite a LCLY bunch.

But I must admit that B&W also have some lower end stuff, so they also cannot be considered exclusively high end. Brands like Wilson Audio not so easy to check out here. Megatron may like their stuff... their speakers look like Transformers.

Thanks bro, I will go there this weekend if they open business smile.gif

No offense. Saying it is easy when you have the moolah to splurge on it. For average Joe, it takes a lot of months or years of saving to get a 'decent' setup from there.  sweat.gif

Years back, I was so impressed with the B&W 600 series speakers package that went for a song. But, due to peasant's income, just could only dream of it

I also savings for years to bring Pioneer home smile.gif

QUOTE(DigitalKL @ Apr 18 2008, 09:20 AM)
why 600 series so "cheap" in the UK har? 8k kautim can take home liao. here cost rm30k? siao ah?
