Kuala Lumpur International AV Show 2015 - Pictures Galore
by elhefe Sun Jul 05, 2015 1:22 am
It was the time of the year again where audiophiles, headfi-ers and AV nutheads locally and neighbouring countries would be in JW Marriot hotel to attend the Kuala Lumpur International AV Show, organised by 3DotEvent. Its a 3 days *3rd to 5th July) event but yours truly can only attend on the second day due to the fasting month.
I arrived at 955 am and the first person I met was the head honcho himself Mr. Dick Tan, looking sharp in a suit. After collecting my Press badge (Yes, after 2.5 years of reviewing, I was finally recognised as a member of the press hahahah) and the free Commemorative CD, I went down to the GF to kick start my visit cum exploration.
My personal objective:
- To demo the Audeze EL8 open and closed back headphones
- To demo Oppo PM3 headphone
- To experience Dolby ATMOS
- To demo Devialet
- To find bargain LPs and Bluray discs
The entrance was its usual display of Lucky Draw prizes which I had never won before 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asia Sound
Asia Sound had both active and static display of various Rega products and to my surprise, a pair of Zu Audio Omen speakers.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wo Kee Hong: Marantz and Klipsh
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Desa Home Theatre
DHT continue to provide special prices for various hifi and AV equipment including ATMOS enabled AVRs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPPO
OPPO had set up their demo point around the beginning of the whole AV show area with HA-1 and HA-2 headphone amplifiers and PM-1 and PM-3 headphones on active display. I managed to demo the PM-3 and PM-1 using the HA-2 and HA-1 amps with the music source coming from my faithful Blackberry Passport.
Each unit has its own unique offering with the PM-1 is more suited for home use and PM-3 for on-the-go music.
I was also greeted by their marketing, who flew from China for this event. Ms. Tina was very articulate with all the Oppo products and would be interested to know how Malaysia is responding to Oppo products.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CMY
CMY had a small room at this level, mainly for lock stock and barrels on sale espcially on QED cables.

Maxx Audio with 5.2.4 Dolby ATMOS set up using SVS Prime speakers
Max went for simplicity this year but have put in a very effective speaker placement for ATMOS experience in a small room. With custom made speaker stand as tall as the hotel room wall, the whole demo was a very immersive experience.
NOTE: SVS Prime Satellite 5.1 set is going for RM4299 for this month ONLY.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HECO and BMC
Had a wonderful chat with David Kestez on this HECO speakers and BMC media streamer (both audio and video) Quite an impressive set up these pair have. For its price, the HECO can deliver very clean and detail sound while maintaining a certain extensive low ends.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HiFI Creations
Our home grown speaker designer maestro Victor Pheh went all out to show the prowess of his new Addacio Supremo speaker design. I had the privilege to listen to these speakers during its design stage. Its a 4 piece speaker unit that will definitely send a chill down your spine when it gives you the bass attack. Very dynamic and big sound.
Victor had two room side by side with both having KRONOS Turntable as a source and four units each room of Frank Voon Power Banks.

IMHO mofaz... Naim Statement is such a luscious set up... but I think... the Dynas was the limiting factor. At times, the highs were a bit ear pinching. Maybe if it was a ProAc... it will be different...
Hazy...Oracle... it was my pleasure to share the photos.
