Anyone owns a Marantz SR6004 av receiver? Just collected mine... the user guide lists FM antenna as an included accessory... but my box doesn't have one leh... is it suppose to be included for singapore?

Have you explored using a normal electric fan to "redirect" the air-con? That's what I do for my living room.

haha sasay1980, you're from xtremeplace forum? Anyway saw your post too late... i've paid for my speakers yesterday already... thanks for the offer anyway. We should have a mass order forum here. I shortlisted denon 2310 too for my room but finally got Marantz 6004 instead because most pp claimed that Marantz is better for music. Anway i'm not even a novice yet, but thought the rated output for 1910 and 1610 are 90w and 75w respectively which might not maximise the potential for 3005SE (power handling of 100w). Maybe vicenzo70 the guru has more insights.

Oh I thought you were recommending Monitor Audio for my bedroom (emphasis on music) and not living room and so didn't consider because of the width problem I mentioned for my bedroom. Anyway, since I need to get all my stuffs ready asap and won't have time later for shopping, I went with my earlier decisions and bought the following stuffs liao. Living room: KEF KHT3005SE 5.1 speakers with Yamaha RX-V1065 av receiver. Bedroom: KEF KHT5005.2 5.1 speakers with Marantz SR6004 av receiver. Hope these are ok.

GP Acoustics at Adelphi. If you know of other places selling KEF please let me know also.

Which 5.1 models from Monitor Radius HD range would you recommend? The left and right speakers for my bedroom must not be more than 4 inches wide. These Onkyo and Yamaha models cost about how much?

Deftech pro60 good for music or not? I was actually deciding between this and KHT5005.2 before your post but very tempted to get the 5005. KEC got sell Marantz amp? Any specific model to recommend for either pro60 or 5005? If say Yamaha, does RX-V665 pair well with KEF KHT3005SE or you recommend something better?

Typo... should be KHT5005.5. Sub on floor beside my head, next to my bed. My equipments cabinet (which will house the receiver) is beside my head, next to my bed. Have already pulled cables from there to my room tv and where the speakers would be. Thinking of getting a Marantz or Denon up to $1000. Which is better? As for living room with KHT3005SE, thinking of Yamaha or Onkyo or Pioneer up to $800. Different pp say different things. No chance to try out so dunno which one good. They're quoting me $2400 for KHT3005SE and $2900 for KHT5005.2 if payment by cash, excluding mounting brackets and installation. If by credit card or installments have to add 3% to 5%. Installation dunno how much. Where else could I get from other than Adelphi?

I haven't tried out Morel yet... been busy. Will go Adelphi this weekend to get my sound systems... will see whether got chance to try Morel b4 that for a final decision. Meanwhile, most likely getting the following 5.1 speakers. 1. Bedroom: KEF KHT5005.2. Left and right wall-mount beside tv. Centre wall-mount on top of tv. Rear ceiling-mount. 2. Living room: KEF KHT3005SE. Ceiling-mount. I need you guys to suggest 2 suitable amps for the speakers. Budget $1000 and below for each amp, or total below $2000. Bedroom: For music/gaming/movies/news/ etc but mainly for music. Living room: For music/gaming/movies/news/ etc but mainly for movies and console gaming. Please help!!!

Went Adelphi today to try 5.1 compact speakers for my room. Was very impressed with KEF KHT3005SE. Only worry was that the width for the 3001SE satellite speakers might post a problem compared to the narrower width of the HTS5001.2. But didn't test out KHT5005.2 because it wasn't setup at the shop. Came home to measure and indeed, the 3001SE when wall mounted will kena the sides of my tv zzz. So either I tahan the ugly setup or take KHT5005.2 instead. My question is whether the more expensive 5005.2 is a better/equal choice for the ears? Read some reviews that the subwoofer which came with 5002.2 loses out to the subwoofer for 3005SE, is it true?

zzz so quiet. This area all senior citizens and horse-betting ah laos very few pp using internet or what... Anyway heard that there will be development on the plot of land behind kallang mrt station. Anyone got details?

zzz only ngunadi and I posting... Anyway I went to try Steelcase's Leap and Think. Both chairs are very adjustable. Posture support definietly better than Aeron for short-thighs pp like me, and don't have to worry about table height... somemore got headrest. But dunno whether it's because the Steelcase showroom was quite warm... the Leap chair, which is suppose to be Steelcase's best, felt quite warm and not as comfortable as the rest. Ok lah still within my consideration. Aeron's promotion ending on 13 Feb but think I'll give it a miss ba although very tempted. Will try Humanscale and maybe also Knoll after CNY.

I spend most of my time in my bedroom. Living room used mostly by my half-deaf parents and when there're visitors and friends coming over for gaming. Any idea on the price range for Kef satelitte series, Klipsch or Energy compact speakers? Which a/v receivers should I get that are within my budget? Will probably only have time to try them out after cny. Is Adelphi a good place to try/shop?

I called up the Herman Miller office in Singapore and asked about the warranty thingy. The guy who answered the phone told me that even if the chair is purchased from overseas, as long as it's from an authorised dealer, I can still request Xtra (the local dealer) to service the warranty at no charge. If really true then hor seh liao... but dunno that guy blur or not leh. Would someone kindly call them to double confirm? Steelcase showroom only opens on weekdays and only until 6pm zzzz... will visit them next week to try out their chairs then decide.
