Home theater under INR30K

[vs51]

HI folks! I just moved to a new place and want to create a great movie watching experience for me + my family. Our TV is in the living/dining room, which is 13ft x 20ft (11ft is the distance of my tv to couch), with the "TV watching area" about 13x13.

I currently have a Sonos Ray from my old place, and wondering if I could add 1 or 2 speakers to the Sonos setup, or should go with a new setup. If new, which one?

For reference, I didn't enjoy my experience with the Ray at my old house as such - dialogue clarity was meh, and the remote did not sync with my TV. I'm keen to give it a shot though if some supplementary speakers can improve.

Thanks so much!

Hi ,
Under 30K Home Theatre not possible , if you stretch your budget you can get pre owned .

If open to preowned and with a slight increase in budget, this may be a good option to consider.

It's not possible to have a discrete HT set-up with this budget. I'd suggest to go with a good 3.1.2 soundbar like Samsung Q700C, LG SP8A.

In this budget, go for a soundbar or Sony/Philips HTiB.

There is one Yamaha HTiB too if you could stretch your budget.

 

[ajuvignesh]

I guess the Yamaha YHT 1840 is the only option.

If one actually finds it in stock somewhere at that price

I would suggest something like the below, though more current in specs if buying new. The Yamaha YHT-400S was my first ever Audio product and paired with a pioneer BDP-450 at that tine, gave me many happy weekends. Something similar should still be available without breaking the bank. All the best

40k+...and all unknown sellers. Better luck would be to try finding it offline

OP..this is how you get a better experience than a sound bar. 1. Buy old Harman kardon AVR amplifier from early 2000s ...this will give you high current amplifiers sound quality. Cost around 10,000inr.
2. Look on facebook marketplace for old second hand speakers and a subwoofer. Keep looking for some time and you'll be able to find a decent pair.

This will enable you to reach your goal and give you a system which is long lasting and willl have a high sound quality.
