Strongly agree with that

yup,u will continue to purchase once u get poisons.

sigh. once u get addicted very hard to stop... needs $$$ every time u look at a new system.

it's always like that. so best is to try out with decent entry level speakers and listen to them for some time, then you'll know what is acctually missing. it's all step by step and where the fun begins.
but what i meant with entry = some ok ok speakers la .. dun go those "chap pa lang" speakers, you wont know what you are really hearing.
Oh yea I choosed the MS902 over MABR2.
I auditioned on a yammy avr thou .. not sure if that really counts.

i'm using 902i for Zone 2 spk with onkyo 876,not really like it much,maybe should try it with front/rear spk on onkyo ?

how is the comparison between MS902 and MABR2?

i know the MABR2 is good, warm and powerful. But the price also more expensive. U'll also need a more expensive and more powerful amp (at least 60 to 100 WPC) if u want the most from ur MAs.

i get mine for RM 790 at amcorp mall but mine already mod the speaker sound more better my mod almost 60% of the price of the speaker the internal i change the crossover change better cap and coil. sound more detail

this speaker no need soo high power to run it me just use 40w RMS Marantz is more than enuf due the sensitivity is 90db 15w-100w soo easy to push no worry just matching problem

RM790 for monitor audio bronze 2? that’s a really good price bro, the last time I saw them, they were around the same price as AE evo 1, in fact they were direct competitors, about RM1,250…

RM790 for a MABR2, THAT IS CHEAP.

what price range is the carnivals in?

Dont dream. Thats the price for MSC2.

How was the Rotel RA-04? TS mentioned he auditioned it.

MSC2 can get around 650 last I enquired. I chosed the MS instead of BR2 wuz a little bit hard on bass which I never liked, but those babies are impressive.

there's a reason why what hi-fi gave them 5 stars even though it's the most expensive in the budget amp sector. they're that good. what's even better is that in Malaysia, it's almost exactly the same price as the rest of the competition. it was 1,650, now it's dropped to 1,250. 40W, well, it's not too bad. but there could be more power. i auditioned it together with Marantz PM4001 and NAD C315BEE. it's a clear winner.

Added on October 28, 2008, 4:02 pmauditioned the Cambridge Audio Azur 340A today. I must say, apart from the leanness (not much depth in bass), these are really good. And the price, RM850...
