What AVR are you using now?

As you get better speakers, quality of the amplification is important to bring out the best in the speaker. The high freq harshness you perceived could be from lack of juice or maybe the amp SQ is a bit harsh.

I am using the same cable. That's why i can easily recognize it.
By the way, you have a nice system.

NAD is a well regarded brand. So long as you like the pairing with your speakers then it's good.

Doesn't mean more power is better. Also depends on the characteristic of your amp.

I plugged the middle port. You can try plugging the others to see which suits your room best.

Wah Wkang bro, your setup looks very nice la 

Guys, I am interested to upgrade beginner mix and match home theater set. Been looking for speaker brands which suit my peasant budgets and PSB looks nice.

Say, any mid level speakers from PSB (i think WKang bro's syncrony i sure cannot afford one) which I could consider? Who are the distributor for PSB and who can I contact for audition leh?

Wah I really love your in-ceiling speakers. Can I know what brand issit and the price for a pair?

Hmm probably going to A&L for all in quote then. CTSeong is taukeh at which outlet? I planning to go Sungai Wang since I will be there often.

So now you've blocked the top and bottom ports?

I've blocked the middle ports, which reduces the boominess and cleans up the bass.

hi.. what is the entry level model for PSB speakers and a sub ? what is the price for the entry level
PSB...speakers with sub..2.1 set-up.. who are the PSB dealers in Klang valley .thanks.

Am currently on Image B6 front, Alpha C5 centre and Klipsch sub, hooked up to a basic entry Yamaha RX-V465 AV receiver.

What would be a good upgrade for receiver? Was thinking of getting a used unit that was mid-high range, with HDMI.

Saw a Denon 3310 (when new was RM4k) now going for RM2k+, but output is 165W and Image B6 output only 150W. Will it be damaging?

And saw a Yamaha RX-V1800 about RM2k+ also, 130W output.

Was recommended a NAD T748, but looks underpowered.

Budget about RM2k. Would appreciate some options from friends here...

tbcheese, I didn't get the Image center speaker but instead its an Alpha centre (that time budget not enough). Actually its C1, not C5. Typo.
Needed the upgrade coz I felt the RX-V465 isn't driving the Image speakers enough. Meaning not enough power. Unfortunately can't advise the sound because its my 1st unit and no prior setup experience.

wkang, was thinking about the A820 Aventage but budget about RM2k+ for used 3-4 years unit. Thus V1800 looked like a good deal.
So what did you think about the difference in sound, space, depth when running from Yamaha A820 and NAD T748? Have not auditioned either but would like to hear some comments.

Yes, I agree ... it is just that the last 6 to 8 posts were discussing the amplifiers driving the PSBs, and the A820 and T748 was brought up in the last 4 to 5 posts.  In any case, I will open up a new thread if needed to avoid buts and lies.

I completed an audition with respect to the T748 and the A1020 ... the A820 had been sold, and was no longer available, so I chose to audition against the A1020, as a frame of reference.

Since this is a PSB speaker thread, the front speakers used were Image T6s, and Image B6s for the rear, center was also a PSB, but not Image series, and really looks high end, not sure if it was the Synchrony.  Subwoofer was a PSB SubSeries 300.

Overall, the T748's sound has more weight, and actually sounds louder than the A1020.  The sound was "warmer", and had more punch.

The good thing about the A1020 was the very good surround steering, the way the A1020 steered the sound effects from one corner to the diagonally opposite corner was really good, but the sound was a bit thin, and not as exciting as the T748.  For watching movies, I prefer a more dynamic sound.

The fact that the A1020 was about 1.5x more expensive than the T748, and the fact that I did not need the features present in the A1020, resulted in me putting my money down for the T748.  I have a HTPC, which takes care of all the "smart" stuff.

I heard the A820 is sometimes selected over the T748 due to connectivity to the internet and Apple devices.

I listened to stereo on the T748, and the sound is good, but not as good as dedicated hi-fi (would not expect it to, or maybe it was the fact that a BluRay player was used as source).
