i'm thinking of upgrading front speakers, i was recommended the following in my price range: RS Audio, Eton, Rainbow and Focals.

i don't see RS Audio & Eton on the list on the first page. anyone have good experiences on these? they fall into the high quality segment?
*
They are branded item and should be of quality component.

Should not be said as "high quality", and please make sure those are not fake component.

oh okay. i'm purchasing from a pretty reputable well-known dealer with much good word-of-mouth, so i suppose i should be alright yeah.

but how does know identify genuine from fake components?
*
Errrrrrrrrr....

Since you said the dealer is reputable, guess that should be ok kua.

But actually not all will have fake items. Like Malaysia Focal, yes. Soundstream yes... But I have not come across fakes in Malaysia except Focal only. Maybe others can advice more...

who care what the brand call when it come to a budget system? as long as the amp perform what it should without giving problem then it is a good amp. Some branded local brand amp that sell much more expensive always giving problem with many"TRANS-fat" added inside....

so at the end of the day, i believe eating potato is better than the trans-fat........
*
What is trans-fat? More new local brand?

Damn, the sound similar brand is giving me enough headache also .... laugh.gif Either the equipment not up to par or the installer totally phail~...

Either way, the market still need cheaper option. As much ayam as you like, you should be able to see that some budgeted RM500 for whole setup...right?

But quite many people say is good, they got own website too but Malaysian one. The prices also quite expensive. My friend fixed one AQ subwoofer for 1.2k. hmm.gif
*
1.2k? shocking.gif

Well, sound is subjective anyway... biggrin.gif

What people say is fine, then we go audit and see if we like it. Then we attend TT and make comparison with others.

btw OOT:
Roughly when is Vic's place will be ready, any date in mind? I hope I can make it. He is still offering free gift/lucky draw, right?

The one that Quaza meant is here, he open a new shop:
email: victor@hifi-creations.com
fb:www.facebook.com/hifi-creations
location: opposite Houz Depot, kota dsara. 5mins away from Ikea

The one now in Ara Damansara is KKLau.

So choose anyone that suits you.

Excellent! I stay near to Kota Damansara. Surely will drop by to Hifi Creations.


Added on December 15, 2012, 7:42 pmI have also emailed Desmond of KL Auto (in Chow Kit) but no reply. Probably he's interested installing system with more than RM 10K.
*
Don't say KL Auto like that lar... Maybe that fler is just busy. Anyway, I thought that fler is only into car modification but no ICE....?

HiFi Creations is still under reno, if no response, just give that fler a call. If still no response, put your font bigger when mentioned his name. Definitely will get response. laugh.gif

Hi sifus.

Just surveyed Focal/MTX/Eton component set for front setup (used MTC CTC-160 before).

Suddenly, yesterday a shop introduce me HELIX (not sure what model) price at something RM1.3K. At least he's talking some common sense and not bragging by saying some facts about MTX with the "American punch" sound and comparing with Helix; natural Germany's sound.

Need some advice.

If I go for MTX/Focal/Eton, I will spend <RM1K. But if Helix, will be >RM1K.

Apa kata sifu ICE? My HU is stock. Later (dont know when) will upgrade
*
Bring your own CD, and listen to it.

Helix is not bad.

If less than 1k for speakers only, then you have plenty of choices.

With that budget, try to stay away from the brand or the model you mentioned above.
