just to qulaify my statement i audtioned a speaker using the wharfe receiver and i was surprise that the speaker sounded not the way i expected it, but when the same speaker was auditoned using a different receiver, it sounded 10 times better.

its always good to audition.

You might also want to check the marketplace.  There are plenty of good deals to be had, you just have to be a bit patient and vigilant (unahan kasi talaga).

Thanks sa info nyo, really appreciated all your advise.

Mga Sirs,

I need you inputs. I am looking at purchasing a reciever to be partnered with Wharfes 9 series. I am torn on what to choose between the Yamaha 465, Denon 1610 or the Onkyo 507. Will primarily use it for HT with occasional music listening. Siguro HT 80% 20% sa music.

Also considering having a older model Onkyo 307 or the Denon 1509 and just use the remaining funds from what i save to the speakers. Ok lang din naman sa akin ang pass thru lang and magkabit ng ditital audio connection.

Thanks and hope to hear from your thoughts on this. Thanks.

specs wise all are almost identical. i'd pick onkyo.

Oo nga eh. Thanks sir. What do you think about the second dilemma. Do I go with the newer recievers with Audio and Video full HD properties or the more toned down HDMI pass through only.

go with the newer models para less SARS. hirap kasi every year may new models at madaling mapag iwanan. why not consider the onkyo 606 very good for both audio and HT with very decent power.

Yun nga din naisip ko eh. How much is the Onkyo 606 nowadays? I have a working budget din kasi and this is my first HT setup.

check this http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php?topic=98784.0 electrohaus_lp's receiver thread at the buy and sell section.

last time i checked (mga last month) may 606 pa ata sya

or why not use 0% interest via credit cars which sights and sounds also offer.

pag first set-up prone to SARS so better make it lasting

Another thing you need to take into account would, of course, be your budget.  Stretching it even a little bit more would prove to be quite beneficial, especially in the case of the Onkyos, where price differences between one model to the next could be quite negligible.  Yung tipong konting dagdag lang sa ipon higher-spec na yung unit.

Guys! gizmodo did a AV receiver review of 4 $600 receivers. Pioneer comes out on top, then Onkyo, followed by Denon, with Yamaha at dead last.

You might want to check out the link above.

Also can somebody tell me where i can buy this particular model ==> Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K

thanks!

As per price point locally, these AVRs are not of the same class.

Denon1910 and Onkyo607 are of the same price point with Yamaha765 a little bit higher and Pioneer1019 the most expensive. 

I would say the counterpart of the Denon and Onkyo would be Yamaha565 and Pioneer919. These are the models that have almost the same price range in the local market.

[vx2]

The 1019 and 919 are basically the same in terms as far as sound processing goes though.

There's a $100 premium for 1019 in the area of, SD video upscale to 1080p (while the 919 does interlacing), iPod OSD Zone 2 and an extra HDMI port.

I chose the 919 in the end since i had no need of the above features anyway. My take is that since the pioneers are not that locally in-demand, they are relatively higher priced than their counterparts.

Hello mga sir, newbie lang po. Pa advise lang po, planning kasi ako to buy new audio system pero maliit lang ang budget, mga around 35k to 40k lang. At least 5.1 channel. May nakita ako sa western, yamaha rv-x465 with mordaunt short carnival 6,3,5,9 speakers, medyo mataas ang price but nagandahan ako sa tunog pero looking pa rin sa pocket ko kung kaya pa since may 18 months 0% interest sila. Good buy po ba sya para sa starting? Consider ko rin sana mag 2nd hand if ever mga up to 30k lang (receiver amp with speakers na) since cash basis kasi sya. Di naman priority ang video, more on music lang but can give also good sound din kung manood ng movie. How about yung yamaha rv-x365 with the same package ng speakers? ok din kaya? malaki din kasi difference sa price. Suggestion ng friend ko pioneer 919 pero ang mahal pala..around 40k sa listening room sa megamall. Planning to buy siguro mga a month or 2 from now. Thanks, suggestions and replies are very much appreciated.

Wait for the new ones incoming this April (at least in the US), they have now hdmi 1.4 support and you can calibrate using iphone/touch. And they have bluetooth accessories.

Part of the reason why I'm holding off as long as I can to buy an AVR. I have completed my 5.1 speaker set-up from A-Audio but haven't decided yet what AVR to buy. I was about to pull the trigger last week pero nakita ko nga yung news regarding new models coming out this 2nd quarter. Haayyy..

Tiis na lang muna sa HTIB and my 2.1 set-up for audio. Break in period pa din naman yung FS ko.

How long does it take to get to PI pag naglabas na sila ng bagong models sa US? Gusto ko pa din kasi locally purchased for warranty purposes. Significant din ba yung price drop sa previous models pag lumabas na yung mga bago?
