kailangan nba ng upgrade ng avr ko?

Harman kardon avr 155
and jbl speakers scs 200.5?

It depends on your needs sir. Are there something na di magawa nang AVR mo na nagagawa nang new AVR's. Do you need those functions?

In todays market for AV set-up, which brand/model of AVR's best matched with wharfedale speakers? Giving musicality and video preference of 55/45 ratio on performance. Would it be Onkyo, Yamaha, Denon, Marantz, Pioneer, etc. Thanks in advance for any info you can share...

Thanks for the feedback. In this pairing, what would be notable in the performance when compared to other pairings (Wharf + Onkyo or Denon, Marantz, Harman Kardon or etc,)?

Good day mga experts, ano po masasabi nyo dito? Currently im using yamaha 465. Planning to upgrade sana with higher power but tight ang budget. Not necessarily brand new

There are many available AVR in the marketplace today but here are my only choices since tipid mode talaga.

1. Onkyo HT-RC260 (same specs of 608 but w/out THX certification)- With todays latest technology (HDMI, audio video HD support).

2 Yamaha HTR-6090 (same as RX-V1700)- more power, sound quality and performance, built like a tank i think, with HDMI I/O but lack of todays latest technolgy (audio HD support, video upscaling to 1080p)

As of now i still haven't used the audio HD capability of my avr and still don't have any idea if there is really a big difference on sound quality of having a TruHD or DTS HD from without. If you're in my shoes, what would be your choice? Your inputs will be a great help. Thanks

1. HDMI output
2. At least 4 HDMI input
3. Can decode audio via HDMI. Tru HD and master Audio is a plus
4. Depending on the speaker, i would say it should have at least 5 bands of EQ for calibration.
5. At least 50w per channel.
6. Has at least 2 digital audio inputs

With regards to pairing, it would be dependent on your budget and preference.

Use the preout if you want to use external amplification for your speakers.

YES WALA KA NA I-ADJUST

cnxa n po newbie lang hehe...another question lang po...if a receiver output 110 w/channel..ok lang po na lagyan siya ng speakers with 100watts..thank you...

YES OK LANG, INGAT LANG MA-OVERDRIVE YUNG SPEAKERS. PERO THE HIGHER OUTPUT NG RECEIVER, MAS MAGANDA SA SPEAKERS KASI DI SYA MAG DISTORT SA HIGHER VOLUME.

ahh..sir what do you mean by "ma overdrive"?...question po ulit...if a bookshelf speaker are rated 150watts..does it means 75watts per bookshelf speaker?thx po
