lol..the 3D come and mess it up hor.......

but my thinking is this...........

1. Always invest in a good set of speakers. And typically speakers sounds better as they aged. AV receiver is cheaper to replace, and typically one may want to replace it as new features/chipset/pricing appear more often. So likely change in system would be AV receiver

2. 3D come, need to have 3D TV too. Now 3D TV too ex. So when it becomes more popular, buy 3D TV and if do not want to change AV receiver, connect 3D blu-ray player direct to TV lah and still have audio to AV receiver.......or change AV receiver....lol

Sony PS3 3D implementation...not sure whether they need 1.4 or not leh.....

lol....

CLC

This is first time they do a site visit and have a more accurate measurement. There are some additional things and modification need to be done. So need requote

Intra

They have seen the site before. So their site visit is for the air-con and electrical ppl. There are some modification need to be done. So need to requote. My experience with Intra is that they will take in modifications within the original quote as they quote in one lump sum unless the changes are major.

And...............even as we speak.....my wife and I are trying to made as little structural changes as possible considering we might want to sell the place. So we are thinking of having the kids sleeping on bunk beds...........shhhhh....I will probably tell the ID this after we decide which one to take...

lol

eh??!! thinking of selling even before staying??!! GG, u fantastic lor

dun tell me u found another better place?

hah...yah man, that calibration thing is a bummer. not sure if it auto detects or have digital presets?

Ehh..we like getting same system almost...im looking at the oppo80, 83 and LG BD390...

is urs a 3D LED TV? coz the 608 is rather new with HDMI 1.4a compliant (supports 3D video). read that both 707 & 608 are pretty similiar in power & in performance. And that the 608 uses the faroudja chipset as the 707. if that were the case, i may not be too inclined towards the 707 but would like to know the price nonetheless...haha

Furthermore, not many bluray content are in 3D format yet. but its a good investment for the future.

although if u have the ps3 slim, there's also the highly anticipated PlayStation 3 firmware upgrade to enable 3D playback as announced by Sony.

most likely getting oppo80 and 608, i prefer to start mid-range first and upgrade along the way if necessary.

3D tv is just out, sure have plenty of bugs, so will only consider them after the technology stablises.

IMHO and simplistic mind....

1. There is another thingy that AV receiver do is the video processing for video upscale etc. Thus if u have multiple types of video input sources (component, 720p, analog) and want to upscale to a single HDMI 1080p (or i), the different model may matter.

2. Comparing 707 with 607, then 607 has inferior video upscaling/processing (inferior does not mean bad)...

3. 707 is on par with 608 as far as video processing is concern (base on specs), but the big thingy of 608 is the Audyssey 2EQ thingy.

4. As for Denon 2310 to 1910, difference may not be that much other than the number of inputs and the power.

5. As for compatibility, in my own simplistic mind is that having a more powerful AV to drive the same set of speakers could just mean that u can get the same blast/clarity with lesser volume. lol

and normally u will do the calibration once and u can keep it if nothing changes, including ur sitting position and the speakers position.....

glad to hear only need to calibrate once...maybe can get the installation guys to calibrate them after the setup.

heard 708 will only come in at the end of the year.

I do not think u are older than me....I am very old.........hee hee

some soundbar (like Yamaha) is actually quite good for a 2.1, but if u like better sound, then can go Adelphi and do some audition....and maybe u will get hookon 5.1........let ur own years decide which speakers is good cause u will be the one listening...........
