I haven't. I checked on internet. Some article/people said that the CD player also plays important role. is it just a hype to have an expensive player?

DO NOT BUY BOSE.
You can get better much quality systems for the same price.

Check Out:

1) Denon Systems: check out S-301, S-101, D-M33S, D-M33S, and others

3) B&W speakers (separates)

i like to hear singers like Enya, Kanon (japaense), Jacky Cheung...

is 2K not enough? (note: i only need it for my reading room, i think 2 speakers are enough).

BTW, thanx for the opinions. Where can i get all these brands?
Harvey norman? courts ? best denki?

If u want good sound/music, i suggest u get " pre-power" amps.Brands like Krell, Exposure, Mark Levinson, Macintosh etc...Can get at Adelphi...

B & W brand of speakers suggested at above post is good.. but be prepared to spend more..if can get their Nautalis 8..(sweet sound)

But if for 3k, mayb get

Get Marantz, Parasound, Niam audio, for cd player.. they hv mono analog...not digital 24bit analog...

Speakers get Mondunt-Short, or get JBL's studio's speaker.Cheap & good.

If for normal amp, get intergrated amp.Nad's brand not bad.

if wan bao-ka-liao amp is look for AV-amp.get at least 150RMS(must note is not watt or p.m.p.o) so if in time to come, u wan to make home-theater also easier.

Or get those $399 normal sat/woofer system u see at courts...BTW, those cannot ask good or not, is can listen or not..or will the woofers voice-cone of the woofer up-lorry if u blast music too loud.

Or i sell u mine? is pre & power amp.Woofer & speakers i also hv. sell u cheap cheap.

For 3K, BOSE will do.

I'm a low end user so Sony's WEGA system is fine with me. Laughing

nOrmalbOi SG

Wega's are Sony's TV series..

Bose r for peeps who have very little space.. and/or bass nuts..

The Count of Monte-Cristo SG

but Bose is small, can hide and still hear the sound, u dunno where it coming from.

The Count of Monte-Cristo SG

or u want can get Bose “Sound Dock” system. Only around Sg $400/
