Ultimate Reference, a new hifi showroom, has opened in Petaling Jaya. It is conveniently located at the new 10 Boulevard commercial block, on the Sprint highway, before the Damansara toll entrance to the NKVE/PLUS highway.

The people behind Ultimate Reference, Mr. Yoon Tuck Chee and Mr. Fong Weng Hin, are veterans in the local hifi scene. Having established themselves up north in Ipoh, they believe it is now time to expand their presence to the Klang Valley.

Take a look around the Ultimate Reference showroom:

The hifi system at the main area consists of Vitus, Audionet and Marten

In addition to hifi, Ultimate Reference also has a heavy emphasis on AV. It has 2 demo rooms set up for this purpose.

AV equipment from Marantz, Denon and Vivitek

The smaller of the two AV rooms demos a complete AV system at a little more than Rm10k, consisting of a Philips Bluray player, a Denon AV amp, Boston Acoustics loudspeakers system, a Vivitek full HD projector and a screen from IMAGE screen of Germany. The picture quality from bluray material was impressively detailed and came with good depth.

The main AV room, showcasing an acoustically transparent screen from IMAGE screen, all the loudspeakers are hidden behind the screen. The acoustic treatments on the wall and ceiling are brought in by Ultimate Reference from Vicoustic of Portugal.
