  1. Add to cart but must make sure it ships to SG. Reason being, when I was looking at it from Amazon, had to use 3rd part forwarder due to "fulfilled by 3rd part seller".Luckly, it was updated to "fulfilled by Amazon", went ahead and order and opt for direct shipping. It is cheaper :dancingqueen:
  2. Did you audition other brands? Or because of Monitor Audio's white speakers? :notti: For Rx6, Edward is right that Ban Leong dont keep much buffer(due to floor standing I suppose), the rest are fine. You are still ahead of time, just check with Edward of min ETA if need to wait for restock. I had went for 4feet width console, 4 compartments, 2 small on top, 2 big below. simple design. Additional spaces for cabling, or you forsee adding new equipments in.
  3. Amazon again :dancingqueen: Auralex Speakerdudes HD for my centre speaker & another for my AE5+ :sport-smiley-004: 1 small box of blurays :notti:
  4. Oic, have you audition RX6 yet? Are in a hurry to order? If no, order it when your stuffs are shifting in.For my case, I ordered it when all my majoyr renovations are done, in the midst of waiting for my furnitures to be delivered to my place. After that, hand-on the console dimensions with my equipments in place, on site measured the equipments to trash out all issues. That is provided that you are heading towards movable custom console. You need to provided additional spaces for your equipments, they can't be held tightly side by side. Any AVRs can drive your intended speakers, in ranges of $800-$3k. It depends on features, what you would like to have if you are itchy towards upgrades in future? Say adding power amp, cd player, DAC etc.... :sport-smiley-004: My console's design quite simple, let me dig my drawings and share with you, exact pic will be available on sat :sport-smiley-018:
  5. Not all stuffs I liked big, I do take fancy for nice & cute colourful stuffs which i had ordered some as accessories to take away the attention on my black & white theme. :notti: Any pics on your small, slim & chio? Description fits a gal is that your missus? Buy from Interlock la :thumbs up: :notti: Let me help you, if I found one, will posion you further
  6. Cool, did you bought the RX Center too? Best to go for same brand & series for whole sound tone purposes. Go for bigger screen IF your budget allows. My view is, if you can afford it now, buy now than upgrade later, it does not make sense to upgrade to big size tv less those in our master bedroom or studyroom, we buy along the way. excuses to upgradeI bought my Onkyo 818 @ $1.5k(black), silver slightly more ex by $50-$80 although I preferred the later. It is chic & classy when I thinks of that now. Gotten black Onkyo 818 to match my Emotiva power amp. Have you consider other brands apart from Onkyo? Spend some times to audition various AVRs since your house will only be ready by Dec. Have a feel of their dimensions, as alot of times, buyers ignored that, had a hard time later to get it slot into your tv console. Remember to cater ample space for ventilation. Last, Do not rush to buy, buy only when you are able to get it setup.
  7. I had linked up all my rooms with cat6 networking, each room with 2 ports. Must leave some spare around. Plus my studyroom, I need to house my NAS too, I got 2 pcs of 5 bays & 4 bays. Beside that, my studyroom's tv console right beside the server station. Need to hook up my tv with internet access, ps3, media player etc. It is either 8 or 16 ports. Cant find 12 ports, even there is, i'm left with 1-2 vacant ports only. :bleah: I will post pic over the wkend. The salt & pepper set is good :dribble: the dual function of openings are great to have it. In fact, I liked the cotton holder Went to LHS yesterday to get my cat6 cables crimped for all areas & devices. 24pcs with no spare
  8. Is it because you need to turn your volume knob louder due to 2.1 on movie setup & at times need to lower down at certain segment? If yes, maybe you can consider a good center speaker to drive your dialogue?
  9. I will go for local company for installation and warranty and not waste time and fixing it myself. Unless there is a good freelance technician out there charging reasonable price on installation.
  10. this? Samsung Ezon SHS-5230 Finger Print And Digital Door Lock
  11. Bought this 16 ports gigabit switch over the wkend Alos, some stuffs from Amazon arrived & ordered more stuffs this morning, will update when they arrived. hint hint more oxo & simplehuman goodies Been busy shifting stuffs over the wkend, focusing on my studyroom's server setup, will update when all shifted and stuffs are placed in nicely
  12. You got a good 2.1 system Maybe you can ask your missus to expand to 5.1?
  13. :notti: How about this? Atacama Atabites SMD Z7.5HD Stand Filler 7.5KG Box
  14. Cool, another tip, try to play around with different items in each checkout, take notice of their shipping charges.You may be surprised to know that it is cheaper to checkout your stuffs more than in 1 lump mode. Always checkout them in similar category. You can avoid frustration packaging by Amazon which they are famous of.
  15. Not all items will be discounted heavily, also if yes, chances will be out of stock too fast than you would imagined.Be prepared to wait for your items because that period is peak due to thanksgiving day coming up, thats what Black Friday is for. I did encountered doubled waiting duration for my items during Black Friday. Buy if it is cheap enough & if you need it. Blu-rays are so cheap during that period that one would imagined!
  16. in November, yes big discount throughout US. Be it online or retail.
  17. I'm waiting for Black Friday by Amazon to hoot Vornado fans as it is a new model with no discount at the moment. I'm targeting 3pcs leh, need to monitor closely.Exactly, it depends, whether 3 or 5 speeds are subjective, if both model having same rpm and only difference due to speed mode. It is power comsumption distribution that differ each other.
  18. Wah....I yet to listen to aktimate, hence I'm inclined towards audioengine a2 & a5+. Which model of Vornado did you bought? Irobot is good, good feedbacks from my friends who are using it. There are cheaper ranges out there, this model got mop floor function. Seems like we are looking for abstract artworks. Keep me posted!
  19. Where is her white speakers? Maybe you can ask your contractor to build a false below your desk? Or convert your missus' system to Mac? On vornado fan, I'm targeting this due to lowest "power consumed to air moved" ratio. Vornado 660 Air Circulator, 4 Speeds Also maybe you need a helper? iRobot Roomba 780 Vacuum Cleaning Robot for Pets and Allergies Last, I almost bought similar paintings as you. Any recommendation on modern compemtory designs you happened to saw in eBay?
  20. Hey, we used the same curtain supplier, the world is so small!!!! Highly recommended due to his pricing.
  21. Almost 60% in savings. I read up the specs from Amazon US, you need a transformer for that. Alternatively, mod your set to local voltage, which requires good & experienced technician. I'm tempted to buy but I'm more interested in white setup :notti:
  22. Paperback books are fine. 2nd level of the rack, right corner, able to fit in compilation music album in it. Point to note, the material parts in black are wood. Im tempted to buy another though....
  23. To avoid voltage issues, go to amazon uk and buy from there if similar set are offers as per Amazon US had. If not, order from Amazon US and buy a transformer off Sim Lim Tower, it should costs less than S$50. Alternatively, google at UK audio sites, if you are dead serious on this set, luck might be in your side if vendors do ship directly to SG.In the url provided, there are dimensions indicated also the shipping weight. Let your 3rd forwarder knows the dimensions & shipping weight, they should be able to advise you accordingly. Then again, no issues with buying off from 3rd party vendor, look at their ratings. The ultimate concerns mainly would be DOA aka dead on arrival. It will crumblesome to ship back as you need to bear the shipping cost yourself. No warranty coverage. Try to ask for quote on this set locally, margin of safety, savings less than 25%, get from local vendor.
  24. overall is good but the divider holding the disc kind of loose, so the disc might give way etc. I think I need to enhance it by pasting a rubber grip on it to create friction against the base. Material wise, similar like Ikea style, nothing to shout but served the intended purpose.
  25. It depends on the product you are ordering, Amazon should have the product informtation like exact dimensions & shipping dimensions.Take a look at that/live chat with Amazon CS for indepth understanding, do note that, some forwarders use volumetric instead of actual weight, as such, shipping charges might be hefty.
