Aiseh, the promo price for CHT-10R no longer valid. Now, RM1,990

Audited this baby before the KLIAV, sound so good...like it very much drool.gif

htkaki,

May i know which A&L branch that quoted u that price? I'm quoted by a sale person called Yap in A&L Amcorp Mall at RM2.1K and he said that was the best price he could gave me. ohmy.gif

Then on KLIAV 1st day, I went to A&L show room in the hotel and a thin man seem like bout 30++ (don't know his name) quoted me at RM2090 and that was his best offer. ohmy.gif

If compare to the price u listed, u got a much better offer. thumbup.gif Anyway, do u sell this CHT-10R baby? How much do u sell?

Thank you. smile.gif

Apparently, the special price for CHT-10R is for KLIAV show only. Damn!

The CHT-12R dig deeper than the 10R. You will feel the difference when you watch movie like U-571, Master and Commander and other movies with lots of low thumping bass effect.
*
O...RM1900 was for KLIAV, how much do you think it cost currently htkaki (the standard price which is acceptable)? Wah!!! Really feel like trying those movies you recomended d la....Hopefully can get a reasonable price and setup my system asap.... drool.gif

Ohya All Sifus, i saw a unit of Robertson Audio MF50 Subwoofer brand new in box cost RM229 some where. May I know is this subwoofer a value buy with that price? Any one know how this sub sound?

Thank you. smile.gif

Yup, the 12R can go as low as 25Hz. thumbup.gif

To prepare for my BD version (to be released August 26), watched the U-571 DVD version 2 days ago. Really one of the titles to be used to test your sub. My 10R performed well, can't wait fo the DTS-HD MA version! drool.gif

Woo....25Hz....that mean those sound will sound deep deep....wah!!!wah!!!wah!!! Really got poison deep deep d... drool.gif Ok ok,will sure test it out when i get my sub... Hope to hear from you on the DTS-HD MA version aiman.

Not at the moment. Shall chk the price.
Robertson Audio is a local brand. I do not know whether the companym is still running. It was more than a decade when it first hit the market with its cheap floorstanders. Not sure abt its sub performance though.

Ok htkaki, thanks for your feedback. Ya, I was unable to find any info on this sub from the internet. Hmm... hmm.gif Think after all i should spend more and go for Velo baby... thumbup.gif

If you have the funds now, better get the 12R. Currently 12R is in stock while the 10R is not. Current price is around RM2590 and RM2000 respectively. Heard that the prices will increase a few hundred when the new stock arrives sweat.gif

All Sifus,
I'm currently using Yamaha RX-V463 and Pioneer S-MS500 MKII Speaker set, if I pair this speaker set with Velo CHT-10R or 12R will my current speaker set unmatch with these velo babies? Need all Sifus advices on this before I buy my dream Sub... smile.gif

**EDIT**

Only one sub lah tongue.gif

Ya, just now called Rick. he also used the same statement "sorry, this is the best price already. All the while I sell with this price". Hehe... I might need to put my order to A&L Amcorp Mall later in case the sale person change his mind....

All Sifus, what do you all think on this package price (RM2500 with sub cable)?

Thank you arremie. Been reading this forum since early of this year where picking up and learning a lot of stuff from all the Sifus here, at the same time kena poison. Hehe tongue.gif

Saw and read a lot of threads mentioning on this Sub, therefore when to audition and you know what sekali listen really fall and drown into the poison pool...althought i only audited on CHT-10R baby. This 10R baby really gave me a shock compared to PSP 5i which i audit 1st on that day. The sale person used Transformer for me to audit. thumbup.gif

Ohya arremie saw your HT System: drool.gif

Sony KLV-40D300A | Pioneer DV-600AV | NAD C 515BEE | Yamaha RX-V663 | PSB Alpha T1, C1 & B1 | Velodyne CHT-10R | QED Performance HDMI | QED Performance Digital Audio | QED Silver Anniversary XT | Monster Standard® THX | AudioQuest® Copperhead | AudioQuest® Sidewinder | AudioQuest® X2 | Tacima CS929

May I know how much did you buy for the PSB Alpha T1, C1 & B1 set? Saw the PSB Alpha T1 speaker cone was make from aluminium and it really sound good especially those robot transformasion in Transformer, to me it sound like this aluminium cone help in producing realistic metal sound. thumbup.gif

s6xs9x,
Price checked: Velodyne CHT-10R ~RM1800 (new stock will be in on the 18/08/08 but not sure will on time or not)
Paradigm PDR10 RM1600 (Best price at Asia Sound by Michael Ong)

According to the A&L sale person, the new stock for Velodyne CHT-10R might or might not be at RM1800 cause very much depend on the price increase by the manufacturer. However, he mentioned to me that A&L Malaysia already requested the manufacturer not to increase the price. So, this price will be a reference for all those who wanna get this 10R baby (at least you can use this price to bargain more). thumbup.gif

All the best to you s6xs9x in chosing your Sub lo ya...if this CHT-10R really sell at RM1800 then better go for velo baby o...just top up another RM200 only (try to get the Sub cable also) k... thumbup.gif
