muscular27 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Bros, Just checking whether any of our xtremeplace guys bought the above-mentioned? It's been available since end of Feb 08. If yes, can I visit and check it out? ;D I know that kec has sold a few units. Our local price is above sgd7k but below sgd7.5k. So I might say it's quite "attractive" compared to the US pricing of usd7k rrp. :P My itch for this denon is getting stronger. Those guys over at avs forum had posted some pics of it and their initial impressions. Sounds impressive. :-[
bluetang927 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Hey Bro, If you got the denon pre&pro let us know how is compare with your stereo setup. Many thanks
muscular27 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 Hey Bro, If you got the denon pre&pro let us know how is compare with your stereo setup. Many thanks For me, "IF" i get the denon, it will be strictly for HT. Ain't gonna use it for stereo as I have a separate stereo setup i'm happy with. :)
Audio Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Bro, $7K+ for both Pre-Power or just Pre only? (Audio)
muscular27 Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 Bro, $7K+ for both Pre-Power or just Pre only? (Audio) The price quoted is just for the pre. For the power amp, it's another sgd7k plus. I'm only interested in the pre.
Audio Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 The price quoted is just for the pre. For the power amp, it's another sgd7k plus. I'm only interested in the pre. OUCH!!! (Audio)
dannyhgt Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 OUCH!!! (Audio) +1! Sigh! Still no sighting of the Integra pre?
Heng Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I'll wait for more affordable pre-pro... :( OUCH!!! (Audio)
HT102 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 The price quoted is just for the pre. For the power amp, it's another sgd7k plus. I'm only interested in the pre. Does it come in black?
muscular27 Posted March 11, 2008 Author Posted March 11, 2008 Does it come in black? Bro, for our market I highly doubt so. Shld be silver. I will check with kec and let you know. sidenote: notice in your signature, you just got yourself a marantz 11s1... ;D How izzit bro?
SiriuslyCold Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I'll wait for more affordable pre-pro... :( whats your definition of "affordable' as far as pre/pros are concerned?
Heng Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Half of the denon? sgd3.5k... ;D My current Marantz AV9000 cost $1.8k when new but it was back in those days before mass-market pre-pro became extinct... ;D whats your definition of "affordable' as far as pre/pros are concerned?
SiriuslyCold Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I think the last time i read about price of a pre/pro was NAD T163 for SG1.8K downside is adoption of new technology is slow at companies like NAD and Rotel perhaps you might want to investigate Emotiva LMC-2 (their MMC-1 is USD$699 but no HDMI audio, seems like)
Heng Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 perhaps you might want to investigate Emotiva LMC-2 (their MMC-1 is USD$699 but no HDMI audio, seems like) LMC-2 was oredi in my XP new year wish list... :)
HT102 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 sidenote: notice in your signature, you just got yourself a marantz 11s1... ;D How izzit bro? Well, definitely an improvement from my previous LCD, no SDE and more 3D. ;) Courtesy of the faster color wheel, I don't get the headaches I had occasionally with my previous 720p DLP. Think contrast still lose to your 15S1 a little.. I can only make better judgment after taking delivery of my stewart this weekend. ;D Heard you are eyeing the 11S2.. have you taken the plunge?
muscular27 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Posted March 12, 2008 Heard you are eyeing the 11S2.. have you taken the plunge? Hehe...lookie like you going thru some major overhaul with Stewart comin in. ;D ;D Nah...don think I'm going for the 11S2. Not much impetus to make me gun for it. Wait for either marantz next oled pj or 4k resolution, whichever comes first. :) For now i'm aching over the denon pre-pro.
Jason Yeo Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Been using for a week plus now . So far so good. Do not have the overheat issue what the avs guys mentioned. I love the overall matching sound and imaging to my system than the previous Marantz 8002 . Must run in further to see if how it performs :)

muscular27 Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 Heheh.. selling your Marantz then?? I answer on behalf of jason la.. he already sold it. ;D Shld be joining the denon club this week. ;)
Jason Yeo Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Yah, sold the day I bought . 8002 is a good amp with good features but my own preference taste and matching still Denon . :)
blackburn Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 two good reasons i can think of that warrant the purchase of this pair of components : the local pricing of approximately s$7500 each is indeed a steal compared to the prices abroad the arrival of hi-def audio tracks (eg hd-dvd, bd, etc)does justify the use of such high end equipment
ricky101 Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 I'm considering this pre/pro myself... still debating over 4308 vs this. I needed the wifi and the feature i want from from the A1HD is the balance pre-out. Does anyone know if there's any shop where I can get a demo?
