deepavali..........!!!!!

went around to walk walk and browse.....

first stop: coffee shop.................cos hungry, a quick snack of toasted bread and coffee, then walked over to AV One at Asiawide Ind Building.....

for 12 inch subwoofers, only 1 model is available ...HECO...... big, massive monster finished in real wood veneer........ only thing is cost = approx S$1400...........ouch, which is a little out of my allocated budget..... however, it looks very good and sounds mightily powerful too ....with a front firing woofer and 3 rear ports, this is a considered a bargain .... if only i wanted to spend this much

next stop: sim lim square

went alpha audio...... they have choices like PSB, wharfedale, MJ and others.....

the PSB 10 incher (subseries 5i) is S$599 .....very affordable and can actually buy 2 if i have the space ..... most ppl acknowledge that using 2 subs will smooth out the bass response and both need not work as hard too .... however i cant think of any way i can fit 2 in the living room...... so i could actually save some money if i buy 1 PSB ...

there is also a 12 inch (pc12+) wharfedale for 799.... downward firing woofer and finished in piano black..... looks pretty impressive too..... considering its size, it's weird the system is rated to 30 hz only ...what a letdown, i tot i found a bargain haha.....12 inch for 799, that's good ...but only on paper...

MJ is a different animal altogether..... the 3 models, pro 50, ref 100 & 150 are all 10 inch systems but can go all the way down to 13 hz...... sounds crazy huh.... the -3 dB point is 19 hz though but that is LOOOOOWWWWWWW enough

for the price of slightly over 800 dollars, the pro 50 is good value... while the ref 100 is a couple of hundreds ma.....

then proceeded to other shops to browse...... saw the onkyo 875 at merdeka..... slightly over S$2 k........

after that, went back to alpha and closed to deal for onkyo and MJ.......

so watch out for sunday!! here they come....

now i gotta think of ways to sell my 8 inch subwoofer and pioneer AV amp

last stop: go home for dinner.........

that's all for today folks...
