I would like to personally thank everyone here for your useful advice. In the end, I managed to get myself a good conditioned used plasma LG 50pk550 at less than $400. And i must say... The motion perf, natural and very nice toned colors was a very huge step up from the mid range led/lcd...

Hi guys! thanks for the useful advice, have decided to go for a plasma! :eek::D Any plasma set would be a big upgrade from my Samsung LCD LA40B530. Any recommendations for budget of $1200? :D:D I dont live in the US, so locally, i hv the following options, more exp compared to US online...

is it true that the newer Panny plasmas have anti burn-in panels as compared to Samsung plasmas? Some sales person told me this and I was a bit doubtful

Thanks my friend, that was helpful for me to understand. Have 3 quick queries: 1) Would plasmas with anti-reflective coating help to overcome the reflection issue as well as getting a LED/LCD? Understand that some models do have this. With the anti-reflection, my worry is that this would also...

Thanks BMXTRIX! :) Could you help to elaborate more on the "daytime 'less than perfection' issues" that I would potentially face based on my layout? Are you referring to the light and reflection from the windows that I would potentially see on my plasma? But say for e.g. if im seated in the...

Oh.... Are there plasmas with anti-reflective coating? Sorry for asking this basic question cos all along I thought plasma were all reflective panels. If it is then it would be good for me! haha :D

Thanks warrior and westcott! Yes rotating it would make sense for the SQ. But unfortunately due to cosmetic and wife reasons, I guess the existing layout has to stay. And I have to make the best out of it.

hi everyone, currently i'm using a 40" LCD and upgrading to a bigger TV for better HTS enjoyment. Most of my usage are for movies and concerts, no gaming and no soccer. For HTS, I have read and seems like plasma is better than LED TV for HTS? Have a few queries below...... : 1) Can someone...

Thanks for the advice Peng. My listening preferences are 55%/40%/5% = 5.1 concerts/5.1 movies/stereo music. Yes I stock up good bluray and DVD movies and concerts. :) Actually u just pointed out a good point that the 1900 is actually a respectable pre, and seriously I have used a few low-mid...

Thanks josko. Yes I went around to ask and read on umc1. Apparently the bug hit rate is quite high. There is a group that didnt experience any problems though, but still the feedback is quite disturbing esp when I do not have an emotiva agent locally in Singapore here. Possible alternatives...

Concentrate your monies on better front and centre speaker as those are the key speakers that will make a bigger diff. Spend less on the surrounds. Later on as your budget goes up, u can slowly upgrade your surrounds.

To stick to your budget, you can go for monoprice cables. If you can get your hands on terminated belden/canare speaker cabels, go for it.

Hi friends, Currently I am using a Yamaha RX-V1900 AVR in my HTS. Recently, I got my hands on a used good-condition Rotel 1095 power amp (200wpc), and so far very happy with the improved sound. Was thinking about the next steps on whether to upgrade my AVR to a more dedicated processor as...

Most parts are made in China now. It shld be ok, as Diamond 10 series are very well-reviewed and you wont regret it.

+1 for the Cambridge S30. I have owned the S30, SL30 and S20, and I must say it can easily compete with speakers 2 times the price to $500 range. Very clean bass, and pleasant sounding. Clear and not too bright.

Hi Jim, Which model of the deftech are u referring to? 55 or 65? :)

hey friends, thanks for the advice. Managed to get some nice stuff on the used market to really audition it out in my place. A SL30 for USD150, rotel RMB 1095 (w/upgraded power cables) for USD570. Now trying to compared the SL30 VS the B&W705 VS the polk tsi200. Looks like B&W705 is...

Jim and friends, having some mixed feelings here. Can I check with you. Some of my local friends were saying that, if I go for modded S30/S70 + a S50 centre, the sound performance may drop as compared to keeping my B&W705 and Infinity PC351 centre. Esp if I were to add power amps in future...

That's my worry on the S70..... Will audition it side by side with the SL30 and see the difference.

Appreciate Jim. Can u help to share the reason to choose the S30 over the S50 for centre? Is the build/design of S30 better than S50? Also, for S70, my only worry is that I havent seen much reviews on it. Not sure if the speaker box build chasis is as good as the S30?
