Mga sir, i am new here sa pinoydvd.

i just want to ask kung anung ideal na bilin na AV Receiver. yung not too fancy, basta magamit ko ung 5.1 speaker at ma-maximize ko siya. ideally yung may optical input sana, for my ps3. medyo nakakahiya pero my budget sana would be 9k lang. second hand or brand new that is okay. as long as maganda performance.

Welcome to PinoyDVD. Kailangan mo rin factor in mo your speakers quality aside from the receiver. Even if bumili ka ng good receiver, your speakers has to be better or the finest. Would be futile if you have a good receiver but inferior speakers. Some audio enthusiasts spend on speaker that is priced much higher than their receivers or sometimes twice the price sa value ng receiver nila.

Thankyou sir, i'll keep that in mind. siguro slow upgrade lang yung gagawin ko. start muna ako sa receiver and pagtitiisan ko muna ung speakers ko na 5.1 for now. i'm very new to this hobby kaya mjo madami pang tanong. pero sa tingin mo okay lang ba bumili ng second hand receivers?

Hi Sir

Ok lang naman pag second hand receiver. Marami naman options for second hand receiver for sale dito sa forum. Ok lang din for the time being gamitin mo muna yung current speakers mo and pag naka-luwag na tsaka ka na lang mag-upgrade. Happy shopping!

I have not tried this series, but I'm familiar with the 2010 models (which should be quite similar). The 371 is essentially a 467, just without YPAO calibration. As with the 2010 lineup, the entry-level models utilize chip amps and are current-limited by a lightweight transformer.

As such, they sound best with easy to drive speakers. Try hooking them up to Polk M series speakers. I think they work quite well together.

Hello!

Kailangan ko po ng advise ng mga experts.

Akala ko decided na ako sa Onkyo 509 pero buti na lang at merong PinoyDVD para hindi ako magsisi. Hehe.

Anyway, newbie po ako kaya nakakahilo ??? dahil there appears to be just too many choices sa AVR (wala pa speakers diyan).

Budget is P20k - P25k. I read sa 1st 3 pages ng thread na there are better choices than Onkyo for my taste which is 40/60 HT/Music.

Also, it pays to invest in good speakers - kaya I'm trying to keep my budget for an AVR to a minimum. I am thinking of getting Wharf Diamonds 10.1 or 10.2. But I'm very open to change this.

Hopefully may advise po kayo on where I can start.

Salamat po!  :)

Sir try to audition the 509 with wharfs and see if this will match your taste. There are many AV stores here that carries that brand of avr and speakers.. try to pm them for audition.

avshop(id:avshop), sns(id:E-reply), whatthifi(id:otep32).. ;) happy haunting :D

just to give you an idea of gear matching (to name a few):
pioneer+wharfe; onkyo+polk; yamaha+monitor audio; yamaha+polk; onkyo+infinity; hk+infinity

the aforementioned generally work well together, but then again audition your options first and decide whatever suits your fancy. ;)
