dear friends

2 of my friends are going to malaysia next month on a package tour.
i am thinking of getting an oppo 980 and a nad/CA/marantz amp through them as they dont have any shopping plans.
they can get the items proivided they get some time for shopping.
they may be in singapore for 1 day n i doubt time may not be sufficient.
so how good is malaysia for hifi shopping, can somebody suggest good shopping places there.
regards
 
Hey even I have the same question. Will be visiting Kuala Lumpur for a couple of weeks with the wife. I am sure it will be a shopping paradise for the wife, but I was wondering how good is it for electronic goods/gadgets/gizmos etc. Never been to KL before so if anyone can shed some pointers it would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately KL does not have a Adelphi, a Funan or a Sim Lim Square where you can get everything. On the other hand, high end is very popular in Malaysia, and the national newspaper - The Star - has a special section on high end audio/video. (The Star Online : AudioFile)

The equivalent of Sim Lim Square or Funan Centre in KL is Low Yat Plaza. Othern than that, you have to locate specific shops spread around KL for your shopping. I would suggest you decide what you want to buy and locate a retailer that you/your friends can go to. KL is a big city, and Petaling Jaya is a popular place for all shops. Some of the specialist shops are:


Some of the other popular showrooms are:

* Audio Lab, Sungai Wang Plaza, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur
* Hock Sin Leong, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur
* Kee Huat Radio Co., Jalan Tuanku Abd. Rahman, Kuala Lumpur
* National Showroorn, KL Plaza, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur
* Pertama Raya, Lot 10 Shopping Centre, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur
* Pertama Audio, BB Plaza, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur

Thanks, intend to have a great time. Quite sure the wife will not want any electronic detours to Singapore or HK, not for any reasons.

Both Malaysia and Singapore are very competitive so basic pricing should be the same. I am not sure about local taxes and VAT. These may screw the pricing.

Cheers
 
i came to know my friend is likely to spend 4 days in singapore and 3 days in malaysia. so i suppose i can even look at singapore as well. should i start a new thread for singapore, anything already exsisting.
 
Most of the company sites such as those of Denon, Yamaha, Onkyo have a Singapore link. That is the best I can do.

Depending upon what you are looking for, if you can blow a little money, you can call some of the shops in Singapore and get the prices. That is what I do when I have buy something from outside India.

Venkat, forgive me for troubling you. But is there any comparable list or any other discussion of possible audio solution shops in and around Dubai?

Precisely, take a bow Mr.Hifivision:)

Thanks Guys. Much appreciated RealActiveEx. I just have the habit of taking notes and keeping track of things I come across. Dubai was easy as I just searched the place to buy my AVR. Malaysia was courtesy of 'The Star' and good old Mr. Google.

TheVortex, let us meet sometime and enjoy some music together. If you are interested in staid Carnatic music, my club is holding another session on 14th with a singer called Gayathri. You are most welcome.

BTW, is a Dubai trip on the anvil? The weather nowadays seems to be perfect with temperature hovering around 20 degrees. Best time to go there.

Cheers

Thanks Venkat. I will confirm this before Wednesday. And you know how I feel that Carnatic music is anything but staid:)
