BTW, the other day I went down to S&C. lady boss, May was very nice and sit down with me & hubby to discuss on the furniture.....in the end we did not buy anything....yet. May says for us to decide on colour scheme of the wall & laminates then come to her will be better. so hubby has good impression of the shop. but one thing that happen there is....May finally make me change my mind about round table.....i maybe getting a tempered glass rectangle table...or woody one... depends on which match my colour theme....fickle minded me.... *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is important as your frequency crossover may not be optimum. Yah, Onkyo 608 only have Audyssey 2EQ but Denon 1910 also has Audyssey Multi EQ... but then again dun u think that the 707 is an overkill for our satellites? at least thats what KEC told me when i enquired abt Denon 2310...i mean, we could still get the desired AVR but value for money in terms of compatibility? Anyways, recommended A/V Receiver Crossover Setting for our ProCenter 1000 is 80 Hz, whereas, the recommended A/V Receiver Crossover Setting for our ProMonitor 800 satellites is 100 Hz. And if u getting the CHT8Q sub as well, does seems that it has an EQ room correction system too? does that matter in terms of caliberation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samy jie...sounds like macam u need a transformer type table...anytime can transform to rectangular or round or triangular depending on ur mood swings... u dun say! there is a square tempered glass one which can beautifully transformed into a round one when needed. but price is not beautiful.... also hubby say not good.... we might get one that is square expandable to rectangle. or if we get rectangle i might even take nguandi's type except i want 4 seater instead of 6 seater...

How did CLC and Intra quote previously anyway. mine edmund also did requote...to the more precise measurement mah...but surprise CLC reaquote since they always like to quote based on floor plan. according to ang gor, they do DN & CN if site measurements differ... so GG u leaning towards who....?

Ehh..we like getting same system almost...im looking at the oppo80, 83 and LG BD390... is urs a 3D LED TV? coz the 608 is rather new with HDMI 1.4a compliant (supports 3D video). read that both 707 & 608 are pretty similiar in power & in performance. And that the 608 uses the faroudja chipset as the 707. if that were the case, i may not be too inclined towards the 707 but would like to know the price nonetheless...haha Furthermore, not many bluray content are in 3D format yet. but its a good investment for the future. although if u have the ps3 slim, there's also the highly anticipated PlayStation 3 firmware upgrade to enable 3D playback as announced by Sony.

wcseow 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2010 IMHO and simplistic mind.... 1. There is another thingy that AV receiver do is the video processing for video upscale etc. Thus if u have multiple types of video input sources (component, 720p, analog) and want to upscale to a single HDMI 1080p (or i), the different model may matter. 2. Comparing 707 with 607, then 607 has inferior video upscaling/processing (inferior does not mean bad)... 3. 707 is on par with 608 as far as video processing is concern (base on specs), but the big thingy of 608 is the Audyssey 2EQ thingy. 4. As for Denon 2310 to 1910, difference may not be that much other than the number of inputs and the power. 5. As for compatibility, in my own simplistic mind is that having a more powerful AV to drive the same set of speakers could just mean that u can get the same blast/clarity with lesser volume. lol and normally u will do the calibration once and u can keep it if nothing changes, including ur sitting position and the speakers position.....

wcseow 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2010 lol.... CLC This is first time they do a site visit and have a more accurate measurement. There are some additional things and modification need to be done. So need requote Intra They have seen the site before. So their site visit is for the air-con and electrical ppl. There are some modification need to be done. So need to requote. My experience with Intra is that they will take in modifications within the original quote as they quote in one lump sum unless the changes are major. And...............even as we speak.....my wife and I are trying to made as little structural changes as possible considering we might want to sell the place. So we are thinking of having the kids sleeping on bunk beds...........shhhhh....I will probably tell the ID this after we decide which one to take... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
