Hi CYH, thanks for dropping by and my pleasure to give you "You Oughta Know", which is totally uncensored with the F-word. Ha.. yes, my music repertoire would have shrunk tremendously if I didn't add the Aunty's Bottom to my LS3/5A... you mentioned this someone I know?

Yea Jo somebody you know....another 3/5a kaki... but we all know where he stand as far as subs are concern. Maybe it's his choice of music...no F words songs!!!
BTW...rocking with headphones now with Morrisette......and no one is complaining about the noise!

I think I know him well. He is a hopeless fella who is only addicted to the original recipe and tube amplification. He prefers the humble banana leave Nasi Lemak to the fancy RM16.9 one opposite to JW. He believes in the 12” size to "play" with Alanis, Kicking Fleedwood Mac and Bad Company till Leak

Three things that catches my eyes:

1. Aktimate and AVI active speakers. I have been toying with the idea of basic second setup and it sounded powerful last night.

I went to the show on Friday with 3 of my other hifi buddies and started roaming the places from 1pm to around 5pm+ but have totally missed the AVI showroom (was trying to look for it at level 8 & 7 but a few rooms seems to be out of bound with the door closed and the show helper sitting in front of those few rooms). Would appreciate it if some nice caring forumers would care to share who is the dealer for the AVI brand in Malaysia or Singapore, so that i am able to pay them a visit and audition the AVI latest gear.

Coming back to the show, the crowd on Friday, seems to be larger than the previous year's Friday (maybe due to most of the muslim audiophiles trying to complete the yearly visits before the start of puasa on saturday or it could be due to the attraction of the free commemorative CD ). Although some of the gears on display was already shown in last year KLAV, there is a quite a few of new exhibitors and brands, like the BFA, genesis, avantgarde, XTZ and a few others. Overall setup imho is much better than the previous show and I would say that Perfect Hifi and Audio Perfectionist (both of their better setup is in level 4 with their cost no factor setup) was among 2 of the most improved exhibitors as compare to their previous year setup. Anyway, since no forumers have yet to share any photos of the show yet, i humbly share the below 2 photos which imho is a few of the better setups in this year show. Please excuse the quality of the photos and i am sure, some of us will be sharing photos of better resolution very soon ...

Beyond Frontier Audio (BFA)'s electronics + Triangle Speakers


Audio Research Corp (ARC) Ref CD8, Ref Anniversary Pre, Ref 250 + Sonus Faber Aida


Cheers.

These little Franco Serblin's creation - Ktema Accordo bookshelves were being continuously ( perhaps 7-8 hours/day for 3 days ) tortured with very high SPL playback in the big room.....they sounded highly distorted with severe sonic bottoming, both their mid bass driver cones were visually spotted like almost flying out from their mid bass speaker drivers.

I deliberately told my friend with louder tone about this severe bottoming condition hoping that the exhibitors would realise and stop creating more damage to these poor babies.
