Nope.. Have not tried Yamaha yet... will do next...
Agree with u on the Def Tech speakers... Besides the sound, they look very neat wall mounted beside the TV... and the rear speakers will be "hidden" in the false ceiling as my living room does not have a wall at the rear...
Spoke to KEC today... confirm they do not carry Pioneer... main reason being the retail price is marked up to high in SG... which I find it true by searching the US/UK sites.... the Pioneer 1019 is being sold at USD$450-500, Onkyo 670 marketed at about USD$400 and Denon 2310 about USD$800... but in SG: Onkyo 607 - S$699, Denon 2310 - S$999 while Pioneer 1019 - S$1299.... doesn't sound logical to get Pioneer locally in terms of pricing....
Another option is to order through ebay or amazon and ship in myself...
Any comments?
