I'd pick the Yamaha 750. Try the ff stores:

Listening in Style, Shangrila
Listening Room, Megamall
Ambassador, Shangrila
Audioworld, Banawe
Spectra, Park Square 1
Electronics Depot, Galleria/Ermita

They're almost everywhere.

do u have an idea on the price of the 750? and which ispeaker is better, wharfedale diamond 9 series speaker or gale? due to budget constraint...

bumblebee · « **Reply #2225 on:** Nov 16, 2005 at 09:18 AM »

The 750 is about 20k. I'd get the Wharfedale's.

IMO, I think its the quad field DSP that does the trick. Its supposed to envelop your HT like its one big room or something, at least thats what the brochures say. I couldnt point out myself what the difference was, but when I was using my HK, there was just something missing. The HT was good, but not as good as Yamaha. (But in HK's defense, the audio was awesome compared to Yammy.)

I do not think that I was biased (from reading the threads here) cuz I was surprised when my friend who also bought a HK with me also noticed the same thing, and he doesnt visit pinoydvd at all.

As far as I know, Yamaha has that reputation because of the satisfaction that product users have had over the years. Not just because of quality but also of price and performance. And of course, the awards they get, too. But I think the reason why they've become the leader in HT is the fact that they were one of the pioneers in DSP technology. Right after Dolby Laboratories came up with Pro-Logic, Yamaha had they're own research and development team. Yamaha, in a true Japanese fashion, developed their own DSP technology. This is now known as Yamaha CinemaDSP. This is not only compatible with Dolby and DTS formats but also enhances it. Resulting in extraordinary reproduction. It can also work on it's own with multi-channel sources. Some have tried to follow suit, like SRS' Circle Surround, Harman Kardon's Logic 7, etc., but Yamaha seemed to be the most successful of all these "in-house formats". So, in my opinion, that is why they've always been a force to reckon with.

Bro Matz, Arthur tnx for the respnse, just curious about the absence of any debate or contrary opinion whenever one says Yamaha is best for HT. Yeah maybe their DSP made them that excellent image in the area of HT, but had that not become obsolete due to the intro of the ES and EX options in the HT arena?

I myself no longer use the different sound field options of my receiver anymore -- i just select the the DD 5.1 or DTS 5.1 whichever is available when i watch DVDs.

saltuhin · « **Reply #2234 on:** Nov 21, 2005 at 08:43 PM »

question lang po. good upgrade po ba from rxv 440 to rxv 750? right now my inclination would be on audio. in terms of power, would there be much difference? how about musicality? replies would be highly appreciated. tnanks.

Aren't ES (DTS) & EX (DD) format extensions

Wouldn't the DSP work with those formats to enhance the output?

JFBagadiong · « **Reply #2236 on:** Nov 21, 2005 at 11:03 PM »

Mga sir is it true walang decoding ng ex or es just an extention of 5.1?

so yung dalawang extra surrounds back ng 7.1 are just extensions of surrounds ng 5.1?

afaik.it depends on the software/dvd. if its encoded with dd ex, the surround back is discrete. but you can also enjoy 6.1 from a 5.1 softare by using the dd ex matrix found on the receiver. although the surround back is no longer discrete.

bumblebee · « **Reply #2238 on:** Nov 22, 2005 at 07:19 AM »

The 6th channel info in DD EX is just a matrix from the RL and RF. When used w/ a 6.1 receiver, the channel will be discrete but the info is not.

DTS-ES's 6th channel is the only real discrete 6th channel.

That's why they introduced Quad-Field Cinema DSP. They formerly only had Tri-Field Cinema DSP. Try any DD or DTS format with CinemaDSP enhancement. Believe me, There is an audible difference. Me? I usually use DTS and enhance it with the Spectacle DSP mode of Yamaha. The soundstage is audibly wider.

I'm in the middle of choosing 650 and 1905.
I'm more of HT... sabi nila pag HT Yamaha na agad pero nung pina-kinggan ko yung 1905 parang mas maganda though kuntento na ako sa 650 and mas mura 650.

any suggestions?

thanks

Bad trip. RX-V750 is no longer available anywhere! :'( But the RX-Vx57 series has arrived! Wala nang 7 series, so hanggang 657 lang meron. It's the same features with the RX-V750, except for the learning remote. :'(

Rough prices for the new series is:

RX-V557 (6.1, component up conversion) -- P20k
RX-V657 (7.1, component up conversion, YPAO mic) -- P24.5k

You can get it slightly cheaper in other stores.

Pero the x57's just got out... As in first sale lang yata sa akin nung 557 (same for 657). Although I think they've had the 357 for some time already...

First Q this year, bumaba yung mga x50's. Hopefully, 2nd Q next year yung x57's naman.

Sir Pao, check out Ambassador appliance in Shangri-la Mall (2nd flr.). I saw a display of the Yammy RX-V750 last week. Not too sure of the price. Mga Php22k yata. Hope this helps.

Just came from Listening Shang. Meron pa raw 1 unit ng 750, but at P24k
