totally agree with htkaki, i sat in the car, then came out, sounds like shit, maybe you have to drive the car with the background noise and engine noise then the arrows will sound better..

other than that , the susano also sucks, but the amps looks really huge. so big that i think i cannot carry it..

sonus faber setup was also pretty poor. sounded too boomy, opera tibaldi. is ok..

best sound i think avalon acoustics and cmy usher audio. there is also one company that sells high end transport cd players, nothing to listen but just to look at only.

vienna acoustics was good, and sweedish statement. was ok also. no naim speakers this year, but everyone promote on blueray.

it is like every year ritual for me visiting the ls3/5a club, never leave the room when im in it. listen and listen.. just so soothing. others are like. loud, thump. boom.. my ears cant take too much of it, but LS3/5A, i just cant move, reluctant to move on...

but give other ppl a chance to listen also lah. the room not big enough for him. every year keep adding amps. mana ada tempat. next time only one person can come in.

probably i will be one ls3/5a kaki next time. but i realised those kaki are usually with grey hair. maybe i need to have more grey hair to play ls3/5a

LS3/5A only do well with Vocal / Orchestra, try to play some rock and fast music.

Ya,Ls3/5a is the legendary spk which play very well esp in vocal only. It match well only with valve amp,so far no solid state amp can go well then valve amp to macth with it,if not mistaken,hehe(cos i'm no more in high end audio liaw) .Another bookshelf spk i remembered would be ProAc tablet,more all rounder with sweet vocal too.Epos and Sonus Faber also doing well in bookshelf but if for vocal only,still cant beat 3/5a or ProAc

Added on July 27, 2008, 1:21 pmthere is one company that i really wanna complain, really misleading  advertising. desa home theater.
i ask about the pricing. it seems that u got to get the coupon, or if you are luckily draw with the coupon, then only you get the discount. if not u pay full price. dammed.

also i think this year the entrance give is getting more kiam siap, i think the company cut cost, only ada air minum. other than that i cant even get a pen, last year i got a pen. maybe next year air also tak ada. just pay 10 bucks and go in. what the heck.
long long time ago. got free cd, t shirt,. all sorts of things. nowadays nothing man.

by looking at the Av show... I think our market just simply too small...

I have checked with Mr. Foong of Norman Audio, the price of KAV400xi is now RM9K instead of RM11K, need to tight my belt now to save money for this powerful amp to pair with my speakers.

I went to the show around 1pm yesterday til 4pm , manage to buy few CDs, such as The famous sound of three blind mice Vol. 1, Patricia Barber - Nightclub, Mary Black - No frontiers, some chinese audiophile LPCDs, etc.

which is yr fav listening room ?

so far i like Club LS3/5A & Harbeth setup. Both suits my listening taste..
will need to saved up for a pair of Harbeth Compact ES-7~ getting it b4 end of this year if everything goes smooth.

how mch it cost? pair with wht amp?

went there and saw the cinema display by av designs, they are showing i am legend, the whole setup really looks like watching movie in cinema, and cost only 30k, much more cheaper than what i though, although is still not affordable to me

They offered you at exactly RM9k for the 400xi?
