Question po, Newbie lang me and I want sana to buy a 5.1 Amplifier, what is the diff of the Sakura 327 and the Sakura 387? do you have pics of both units??? Thanks!

I think the 327 is just a 5 channel power amplifier while the 387 is a 5.1 channel receiver with am/fm tuner built-in with remote commander.

thanks sir juneaki. meron nga din superbass function kaso medyo mahina talaga eh siguro I really have to add a sub, i'm thinking of US <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=Audio&v=56">Audio</a> 512L, any reviews for this one? Is this a good buy for Php 8,800.00? How does this compare to the DTX?
i'll try to bi-wire this weekend and i'll also try to connect a dai-ichi BK-10a, kaso bago din sir sabay lang sila nung <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=diamonds&v=56">diamonds</a>.

thanks.

Bro,

At that price, why not go for a DTX 4.15, or any 15 incher sub from daiichi for that matter. To my knowledge, the DTX 4.15 costs 8,200 less 5% at Moses Aaron, yung 4.12 is 7,900 less 5% din. I think what I'm really trying to tell you is the price you got is a bit mahal. I think you could get the 512 at around the same price of the 4.12. But, I personally like the 4.12 better than the 512. I have the 512, I already auditioned the 4.12.

No, the ".1" in the 5.1 pertains to the preout para sa subwoofer. You still need an active/powered subwoofer to hear the LFE sounds. But for a starter, Sakura AV-387 is good. (You have pm.)

Recently asked Mike for the price of a Sakura AV387 these days, tumaas na nga daw, 3,685 na daw sa kanila ngayon. Sorry, guys.

mga tol, pre, sir, boss my web site ba ang SAKURA

av_phile1 · « **Reply #372 on:** Jul 08, 2004 at 09:12 AM »

I did a google search last year. But the site returned Sakura Systems - a company with expensive hi-end esoteric lineup called 47 labs. Nothing to do with the sakura amps and receivers we know.

Just the power, I think. The 387 has a higher power rating than the 377.

last saturday (71704), i visited a store which has a lot of Sakura amps! it is located near LandBank P. Del Rosario... it is just at the steps of the skywalk (uncovered)...

arthurallanj · « **Reply #375 on:** Jul 19, 2004 at 11:28 AM »

That's great, bro. I'm happy for you. Sana meron sila dyang 387 or at least 377. We also have stores here in Bacolod that sell Sakura amps, kaya lang walang 387 or 377. We can also order them kaya lang ang laki ng patong nila, mas mura pa rin pag sa Manila ako nag-order even with shipping charges. Good day.

Mga bro, question lang, ano ba high end model ng Sakura? saan ba gawa ito?

Request lang baka pwede magpost na din kayo pics ng mga Sakura nyo. TIA!

Hot Mama · « **Reply #377 on:** Jul 26, 2004 at 03:51 PM »

Where can I get Sakura 387 in Mandaluyong/Makati Area? I am really interested inthis amp.

Thanks all.

vircor · « **Reply #378 on:** Aug 05, 2004 at 04:56 PM »

I've few questions on Sakura-387:

1.) Meron bang Bass Management?
2.) Is the volume of the sub can be controlled thru the master volume?
3.) Hindi ba kinakapos kung all channels driven in terms of power ouput and sound quality?
4.) Generally, ok ba tuner reception?
5.) Ok ba heat dissepation n'ya? Yung mga connectors hindi ba kalawangin?
6.) Yung remote ano ba controlled n'ya (tuner,volume,etc.)? Kumusta response?

Tenkyu mga bro. I'm leaning kasi in getting this for my brother for his starter/budget setup, or probably sa akin din for a separate setup and I would like to know first your comments and inputs on this particular model.

Aprub din kaya setup with all dtx speakers? TIA.

Almost bought a sakura 387 at raon last sunday P3.5K pero backed out as i remember seeing a yamaha rxv-440 at shangrila mall worth P13.5k, 6 mos. 0% interest. Need help in choosing between the two. Other than the price, what would make me consider buying the sakura 387. Gonna use it mostly for movies.

av_phile1 · « **Reply #380 on:** Aug 18, 2004 at 03:28 PM »

Well, if you can afford the Yamaha on those credit terms, I'd advise that you get it. Its digital processing features won't disappoint.

Chito C. · « **Reply #381 on:** Aug 18, 2004 at 03:58 PM »

I'm just looking for a good reason not to buy the yamaha and go instead for sakura. sayang kasi yung 10K eh pero ayaw ko din na ma disappoint with sakura if I buy it.

If you already have a good pair of speakers, then the yamaha is for you. as other said its digital processing wont disppoint you. but if you dont have, then go for sakura, and buy a good front speakers. i just think sakura use for movies only will give you a viewing pleasure as what yamaha can give you.

one more thing pa pla dre, nag start ka na sa hobby na to. so maybe papunta ka na rin sa mga nilalakaran namin dito. Karamihan dito may hiwalay na system for audio and movies. if you go for sakura. then yung ma sa save mo na 10k itabi mo lang muna. ilang months lang bibili ka na ng bagong amp or speakers that is good in listening with music.

Chito C. · « **Reply #384 on:** Aug 18, 2004 at 05:16 PM »

Thanks guys. Actually naghahanda na ako. I have a pair of large speakers from my sony mini component (dual woofer hybrid) with surround speakers. I also have a pair of pioneer speakers (mini compo) bought 7 years ago. My brother who upgraded his home theater setup gave me a set of bose accousticmass 3 ata tawag dun (A pair of sattelites connected to a passive subwoofer). Just this afternoon I forced myself to buy a center daichi speaker. Active subwoofer next time nalang kasi malakas na yung bass ng sony speaker and/or bose set ko kaya forced na talaga ako bumili ng receiver eh. My sony speakers nga pala sounds better than the bose set, ewan ko lang kung dahil yung mini como ko ng sony ang gamit ko as ampli.

arthurallanj · « **Reply #385 on:** Aug 19, 2004 at 11:20 AM »

Bro, my concern would actually be your desire to upgrade later. Believe me, the desire would come sooner or later. Buying the yamaha would enable you to go digital, the sakura won't. The sakura can just satisy, but the yamaha would definitely overwhelm, especially for someaone who's just starting. Believe me, bro, I have both a sakura and a yamaha, the sakura won't disappoint for it's price. But it would be better to go digital. Dolby DIGITAL, DTS(DIGITAL Theater Systems)..... The word for the day, DIGITAL....

Sirs, I know for a fact that sakura amps doesn't have any internal DTS and DD decoders. If i'll be using a nextbase DVD player with the built in decoders, what would be the connections to experience DTS. Can somebody show me the connections to make. And one more thing, i have a JBL PRO III speakers and I'm planning to make it my rear speakers with the DTX slim series for the fronts, are the JBL's compatible with the Sakura? Specs below...

- Recommended Power Amplifier Range: 10 - 100 watts
• Nominal Impedance: 4 ohms
• Woofer: 5" high polymer laminate
• Tweeter: 1" pure titanium
• Frequency Response: 65Hz - 27kHz
• Crossover Frequency(ies): 3kHz
• Sensitivity: 87dB (1 watt/1 meter)

thanks.
