To AUDIO/VIDEO enthusiast.

I want to upgrade my 3-year old AUDIO/VIDEO system ONKYO SV-THXSV828 w/ external Dolby Digital Decoder (Japan made) to YAMAHA BRAND but I'm confused because there are some Malasian made and some models are ON-SALE, feel ko medyo less quality.

Any comment/suggestions will be much appreciated.

Hello Danny,

     Its hard to say which Yamaha model is the best. I think its what will suit your needs. How big is your room, what is your budget, what features do you want etc etc. If you want the best usually its there flagship model. Try to audition them and you will know what is best for you. It would be better if you can narrow down your choice then other members can give you more reviews. Just my 1 cent thanks.

Hello, I am planning to get the Yamaha 430 or a 530 at any Yamaha and PerfectPitch stores to avail the 0% interest, 1 year to pay.

How much is the price difference of the two?
Is the 530 with regards to the added features is worth over the 430 thinking of the added amount?

Is DAC necessary for a receiver, I think my DVD player is 92khz/24-bit capable; if I use the 430 here(my player), is it the same with the quality with the 530?
Im sorry, I dont know about the DAC thing. Please enlighten me.

Can I use 150watts speaker at these receivers?

Thanks

look at it this way...without the DAC of the receiver or the DVD player, all that you would hear is a Digital output which is NOISE.  You can throw away the specs of the DAC of your DVD player because that is automatically bypassed when you connect it to the Yamaha receiver via a Digital coax cable or a Fiber optic cable. Yung DAC na nung receiver ang gumagawa ng conversion when connected this way.  Yes by all means you can use your 150 watt speakers with the Yamaha receiver. Just make sure that you do not push the built in amp to its limits otherwise clipping may occur which can quickly destroy the voicecoils of your speaker drivers. How do you know if the amp is clipping? When the sound is distorted na turn down the volume.

just my .02 cents ;D

Thanks listener.

But I am asking for the DAC of the 530 and the 430, are they the same?

I looked at the specifications of the two: the 530 included the 92kHz/26bit DAC while in the 430, its absent (or maybe I overlooked it).

Again, what should I purchase between the two? Suggest please.

Thanks.

chances are both the 530 and the 430 have the same D/A converters since they both come from the same model lineup.. If budget permits then might as well get the 530 na since it is more loaded with extra functions and additional amp power if im not mistaken. You can never have too much power.... ;D

PinoyDVD will be doing a promo soon on the Yamaha RXV-430 and RXV-530 receivers. We're just waiting for word on final pricing from the dealer. Hopefully they'll give us a sweet deal.

We'll formally announce the promo next week. Units are available only at ASTROPLUS in Podium. Just walk in and say that you're a PinoyDVD member. Price is comparable to what you'd get with other dealers without the haggling:
  • Yamaha RXV-430: P15,300.00
  • Yamaha RXV-530: P19,000.00
I'll confirm whether you can take advantage of the promo pricing this week.

Hi guys,

Good day!!

I'm planning to get Yamaha RXV-430 for this week also. Lowest price i canvass was at sights and Sound Shagri-la at around P15,500. I'll visit the ambassador at viramall bye weekends.

Would you suggest their NS-7390 speaker to be used as a sorround? BTW, I'm using a vintage NS-1000M series as my main.

Thinking to build all yamaha setup. Any comments/reactions on that? Thanks a lot. And thanks to someone who referred to me the pinoydvd.com.

I think the price of the 430 can go lower. You can try asking Ambassador, since they do give good discounts. Also, I think Listening Room or Listening in Style are having a promo. You can try asking them too.  :)

You can use the 7390s as rears, but I think it would be better if you use them as fronts, with the 1000s as rears. You might as well try auditioning other brands of speakers. You can try out B&W and Mission, since they have speakers of the same price range as the Yams. :)

Hi Foxxy,

guys, do you know where i can buy the cheapest RX-V520 or RX-V620? how much? (yong  brand new ha!) :)

Di ba phase out na ang mga models na ito? Just curious, why do you want these models? Hmm... you can try asking Sonny of The Home Theater (8125235, parang may nakita ako nun) or Audioworld (I think I saw one too) #7327716. Image (harrison, #5223919) baka mayron din, since they love to stack old models in their showroom! Sights & Sounds (7527115) you can try too.

hi FoXyyy,

i think Ambassador Appliances (2/F shangri-la EDSA plaza) offers the lowest price. i got mine from them last June for P18K (akala ko nung una sirain, d naman pala. setup ko lang pala ang pumalpak). if you go to their Virra Mall branch baka mas mababa pa. Listening in Style (3/F Bldg B megamall) had the RX-v620 on sale for P18,500 some three weeks ago. i don't know if meron pa.

anyway, if i were you 620 ka na lang. RMS power is higher and more flexible and you can centralize your component video cable connections (CVC) pa. if you plan to use a separate DVD player from your PS2 or X-box, this is the least expensive model (correct me if i'm wrong guys) in the RX-V series of yamaha. maliit din ang price difference nya from the 520, sa pagkakaalam ko. of course, if you can afford it, the 630 is even better.

Although there are newer models coming out there are still not enough 6.1 channel dvd's available so getting 5.1 receivers at discounted prices is not really a bad idea especially if you only have a small room. IMHO next year would be a better time to upgrade. Oh and the rxv620 was an award winner too ;D

Meowpao,

Thanks for the suggestion, maybe when i have the unit i will experiment them. i rebuild my NS-1000M ( put some fiber inside that makes a superb bass response ) that makes it even better. Just an info, I just accidentally saw these kind of speaker at the pier at talagang di ko na pinakawalan nung nakita ko. Not for sale pa nga nakalagay kasi for testing lang daw nila, pero nakuha rin sa presyo.

Can I have a good center for the price of less than 10k? This will be used for RXV430. Thanks, and more power to your systems!!!

Since you already have Yamaha speakers, you might as well get a Yamaha center speaker so that they will all match (more or less). The center speakers usually hover around that price range (around 10K). You can try the ff. Yam models: NS-C120, NSP70 or NSP60. :)

I like the style of northridge series of jbl speaker as my center. Is it a good choice and will it match the yamaha front and sorround? Bose also has an eye catching center worth P9k, any suggestions for the experts? thanks again...

shine-  You just have to match your fronts with your center so that there wouldn't be any tonal difference when sound jumps from speaker to speaker.  The best way to get good timbre matching is to get as much as possible the same brand of speakers with the same drivers as well.

I don't suggest that you buy the BOSE VS-1 center speaker coz as much as possible, you don't want to have muddled mids in the center speaker where most of the dialogues emanate from.  

If you are not particular with timbre matching then you could go with other brands of center speakers like JAMO, JPW etc. If you are not particular with brand names but want clarity from your speakers, you might  want custom made speakers built by us. ;D
