It has been months since my last update and I don't know if anyone will even read this, but I'll write it just in case someone does. New equipment and better prices are finally available for me in Singapore!
I can now get these AV receivers (all prices in Singapore dollars):
I can now get these speakers:
I'll go ask for demos (I did some previously but not for the Kef Qs or QA Concepts) and hope to decide and buy by the end of the year.
I believe my choices will be between (starting with lowest price and going up):
The difficulty will be evaluating which may sound too "bright" in my untreated room. The dealers are totally different for each brand so I will never be able to compare the combinations directly, and it simply won't be possible to return equipment here just because I find it too bright in my room.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
I can now get these AV receivers (all prices in Singapore dollars):
- Pioneer VSX-LX305 for a bit under $1200
- Onkyo NR7100 for a bit under $1400
I can now get these speakers:
- Kef Q350 ($689) and Q650c ($799)
- Monitor Audio Silver C250 ($800) (which I would tend to pair with the Bronze 100s, about $900 which is a lot lower than the Silver range)
- Q Acoustics Concept 20 ($800) and Concept 90 ($950; according to the website it is 3-way)
I'll go ask for demos (I did some previously but not for the Kef Qs or QA Concepts) and hope to decide and buy by the end of the year.
I believe my choices will be between (starting with lowest price and going up):
- Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 with matching centre ($960)
- Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 "mismatched" with an SVS / Elac / Kef / MA / QA centre
- Kef Q350 and Q650c ($1500)
- MA Bronze 100 and Silver C250 ($1700)
- Q Acoustics Concept 20 and 90 ($1750)
