After experiencing the limitations of my KEF LS50 as the rear surround speakers, eventhough working at 120Hz upwards. I decided its time to check out some dedicated Home Theater speakers that can work well even at high SPL. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t require the Home Theater to play that loud (maybe peak at slightly below 100dB)…I do want …
FRANK ACOUSTICS have been designing and manufacturing audio components and loudspeakers/ subwoofers since 1998. Their products have proven themselves at performance and build quality, even fit for an Ultra End Audio System (personally I bought and used some of them). Thus, most of the local audiophile and some audiophile abroad that I knew, used their products…especially their well proven Power …
My recent surprise visit to AV DESIGNS SDN BHD was a bigger surprise for me than to their team. They were just finished unpacking and installing the newly arrived TAD M700S stereo amplifier from the land of the rising sun, Japan. Both James Tan and Jo Ki were there to entertain me and my troupe to some music through the …
Throughout this Chinese New Year 2023, I am quite preoccupied with my love ones and audio/ video components reviews.

Today, I was treated to a listening session at CENTRE CIRCLE AUDIO VISUAL Boutique (MALAYSIA), of their latest flagship horn loudspeakers from AVANTGARDE ACOUSTIC (GERMANY), the TRIO G3 ITRON, that was recently launched at the last quarter of 2022. Firstly, I thought they coupled well with their accompanying subwoofers,…the audio presentation was coherent and was coming from a pair of loudspeakers …
The nice folks at CREATIVE AV SDN BHD sent me their MAGNETAR 4K BLU RAY Player which is made in China…I was unofficially told that it is made by the people whom specialises in upgrading the well known OPPO 4K BLU RAY Players.

Yesterday, I received a pleasant message from Joseph Ki (affectionately known as JoKi among the BBC LS 3/5a collectors/ audiophile) that he would be sending the KLAV 2022 CDs to me. Upon receipt of the CDs, I quickly and purposefully set up my FALCON LS 3/5a system for a listen…reason being that those tracks contained therein were monitored through JoKi’s …
The following was a posted testimony of Mr. Danny Tay (Singapore). Echole Cables Demo Session with Adrian I knew Adrian from one of the Hi-Fi forums in Malaysia in 2019.

Here, the nice folks at AV DESIGNS SDN BHD (MALAYSIA) invited me …
