you are asking it the wrong way... lets just say there are systems that sound better but cost lower than that.

Its just an overpriced garbage... not to say out dated as well.

Hi Jimmy,

If you're looking for small speakers, then your options are limited. But if you don't mind going bigger, I'd personally recommend testing out the Monitor Audio Radius series... or even the Silver series, depending on your budget.

Bumping this up... Appreciate your input.

Am terrible at techie stuff tho I kinda know the sounds that I like. Bose demo in their enclosed room is pretty good, though am wondering what sgd 4500 (for 525) would buy. 535 is 5700 sgd.

Or is there a shop which you would recommend that offers a one-stop solution and installation? Many thanks.

Not sure what sort of input you expect but basically if Bose is what you are looking at then Atlas is the sole distributor. But if you accept another brand then there are plenty in Adelphi. You may also head down to Audio House at Liang Court. They have half a floor for sales and demo of various AV systems. If, however, you die die want Bose but expect cheaper price ( then the price list from Atlas ), you can try Amazon.com. But the US dollar exchange now is high, shipping cost and warranty will be an issue too.

For Bose, the March price list is pretty attractive. You need to either trade in a home entertainment system or donate $88 to qualify for this price. If you miss March, I think the next good time to buy will be GSS. They usually have trade in offer for an old Bose system for up to $1,400.

Unless aesthetics the only concern, most of the shops we have discussed in the adjacent thread in Sim Lim and Adelphi can do better for sound.

Wow! Is that really your home theater ( the pictures in your blog )?
I am coming quite close to buy the Bose 525 or 535 ( that's why I have the awareness of their package ). You obviously know more than I do judging at the system you already have. Can you recommend me which is better in sound than the Bose?

Step out there.. do some real auditions and these shops can give you suggestions based on your music needs, budget etc.

How well it looks or sounds, will depend on the depth of your wallet :)

Cheers
