I'd choose HK for its sound character.

Why not try it the other way around? First choose the speaker that you like and then look for the amp that can best match your speaker choice. If it were me I would buy the best speaker I can afford and then slowly build my system around it.

malapit na ako mag decide sa mga recievers na ito

Harman Kardon AVR70 or AVR170
Marantz NR1403
Denon AVR1713

next speakers naman hahanapin ko.
ok ba ang POLK audio kung anu man sa tatlong yan ang kunin ko?

Do we have a local distributor? I find STR DN1040 interesting for its Wi-Fi Bluetooth functionality.

Wala pang decoders yan for the DD/DTS and higher formats. Consider getting Pioneer, Denon or Onkyo AV receivers for full multichannel capabilities.

Ok kaya ang Onkyo TX NR708? Any thoughts? Thanks

Can anyone suggest a good receiver or sound package for me? I am new at this and currently using a 32 inch akai tv and a cheap 2.1 dual woofer wow ozaki. The same one you see in celfon repairs in tiangge.

Im planning to build a home theater in a small sala of around 15 to 20 sq meters.

wala atang nag rerecomend ng onkyo???

elim · « **Reply #1158 on:** Dec 23, 2013 at 04:25 PM »

Onkyo 616, marantz sr5006 and for me at the price range sherbourn sr120 (If you don't use 3D). Im using one right now the SQ is comparable to my older onkyo 5008.

egzbuen · « **Reply #1159 on:** Dec 29, 2013 at 12:25 PM »

Decided to skip 5.1 since thats what I have now so what are the entry-level budget friendly 7.1 or 7.2 AVRs with hdmi inputs/output? Where can I go and buy?

Cheers

CMac · « **Reply #1160 on:** Dec 29, 2013 at 03:06 PM »

Don't know particular models but you can try to find nice old mid level avrs with pre outs so you can add monster 5 channel power amps in the future.

egzbuen · « **Reply #1161 on:** Jan 17, 2014 at 11:02 AM »

Despite its age, would your still recommend the Marantz SR5003? I kinda like its specs ...

Thanks.

Goodpm sirs, just a newbie in this forum and HT. Plan ko kasi gamitin ulit yung old HT namin. ampli,subs, and front speakers yung nabaha before. Center and rear surround is Polk audio. Then gamitin ko muna siguro as front yung old Bose surround speaker. I've been reading reviews for budget receivers, the Yamaha rx-v375 had a good review for a very cheap price. And the Sony str-dn840 has good features, but i read it has thin sounds. Which of these 2 would you guys suggest? or if any other brand that would be good for my setup. Budget would be around 15k. I could go beyong that for the sony if it really is that good. TIA!

titor · « **Reply #1166 on:** Feb 01, 2014 at 02:15 PM »

hanap ka sa mp natin bro. marami dyan. Not a lot of Sony users here though. Pioneer receivers are cheaper than Yamaha and other recievers. Check din if those bose will work since not all of them can be plugged to a normal receiver because of their propriety plugs.

thanks sir! but i'm thinking of buying brand new para may warranty and may airplay na yung mga new models. Or is it much better if second hand nalang? hopefully the bose would work kasi sa dating setup ng dad ko front surround sya on a yamaha receiver.

If that's the case then the bose should work. Ganito lang kasi yan getting a brand new will only get you an entry level reciever while if you get it second hand you will get a mid level one for your budget. But it's up to you. I personally want a brand new item. And not all entry level receivers have those features like airplay, BT, passthrough, 3d etc.

I don't have a lot of experience but I like the Yamaha. Since it's not a very picky amp when it comes to speaker matching. Get the 673 if kaya. Check Listen Up sa Glorietta I saw some pioneers on sale there.

When it comes to mid level compared to entry level, malaki ba difference sa sound quality? kasi sa features ng yamaha375 mas maganda siya compared the other competitors niya around the same price range. Will check rin if may magbenta ng 673 nila hehe. Is it a good deal even though 2012 model siya?
Thanks for the tips sir! Will check on Listen up and other stores.
