Kuala Lumpur International AV show is back and better than ever!
Show Report By Christopher Tan

619 - K.E electronics / G-Kara Technology
Room 619 was unique as it dealt with the karaoke market more than high-end musical or home movies audio. The setup was impressive as it showcased plenty of combinations with various results. Their showcase was utilizing JBL pro speakers, and JBL Beyond 1 sound processor with an integrated amp, capable of delivering 450 Watt output power, and the JBL Beyond 3 that outputs 650 Watts over two channels.

618 - Quantum Acoustics

Their showroom line up were the Q Music Concept 300 passive bookshelf speakers on tripods, Q-Active 200 wireless Speakers with uPnP and MQA-certified WiFi streaming, a Q Active Control Hub for multi-room control, voice commands, and experience. Infinity Audio distributes Q-Acoustics products in Malaysia and Indonesia.

620 - Double GT audio
Double GT Audio showcased the Quad Z4, Crossroads, and Q Acoustics 3030i and 3020i speakers. The Hifi Equipment on show was from Quad, Myryad, and Mahout, with some streamers on sale from Acrylic, Bluesound, and DTS-PlayFi. Double GT also sells audio cables such as QED and other acoustic accessories.

622 - Viqmax (chiQ, Vividstorm)
Viqmax's room was focused on showcasing their short-throw smart home projection systems. They showcased the CHiQ UST Laser Home Theater Projector that comes with Android TV. It supports Dolby Vision, Atmos, DTS-HD output through its e-ARC and optical TOSLINK connectivity for your home AV receiver. The CHiQ projector was paired with a Vividstorm motorized ALR screen - Ambient Light Rejection - which the projection screen does, resulting in great contrast even in a lit room. Viqmax is the official sole distributor for ChiQ projectors and Vividstorm screens.

623 - Style Laser Audio (Esoteric, DALI)
Style Laser Audio's setup consisted of various Esoteric processors, the NO3T, GO2x, O2X, and the O3XD CD player. The speakers were DALI Epicon 8, 3.5-way speakers. Their room was also acoustically treated with Artnoven Acoustic panels, which help to reduce echoes and unwanted coloration. Style Laser Audio is an authorized dealer in Malaysia for the DALI brand of speakers.

625 - Style Laser Audio (Wharfedale, Elysian)
Yet another room under the same company, this time Style Laser brings Wharfedale Elysian 2 pair of speakers, all powered by an Audiolab 8300MB pre-amp and an Audiolab 8300 Cd Player as the source. The Elysian's vintage finish and contemporary design will surely look great in any space for added warmth. The entire setup was connected with Chord EpiX cables.

627 - Style Laser Audio (Klipsch, Onkyo)
Style Laser again showcased another move home theater setup with a Klipsch line of speakers, the SPL120 sub, with P8000Mk2 2.5-way floorstanders with attached RP500-SA-mk2 upward-firing Atmos extensions! The entire setup was powered by an Onkyo RZ50 receiver/amp with 9.2 channel processing and is THX certified. The Onkyo receiver features a Dirac live room correction, but I'm not sure if the feature is included in the units distributed in Malaysia.

628 - Dong Fong Audio (Chario)
Dong Fong Audio brings the Italian brand Chario line of Avlar bookshelf speakers to the demo. On Demo was the Chario Aviator pair of speakers, which looked great in their stands. These are two-way speakers, with the tweeters placed on the bottom instead of the top. Dong Fong audio is the sole dealer for Chario line of products in Malaysia.
