Hi,

Since you will hear music more look @ Marantz NR series of AVRs.

Secondly given the room size, look out for subwoofer + satellite speaker systems...other option is mini bookshelf speakers.

Audition and decide...

If the budget is more or less fixed, see the For Sale by Owner section Or Hifiads...

All the best

Please rethink whether you really need 7.1 for your purpose ( More music and less movies).

More Music and considering the room size ,in my opinion best to stick with stereo setup.

Hi,
I appreciate for a such a quick response! Thank you.
Well, I was looking for Pioneer Andrew Jones 7.1 but I couldn't get it anywhere in Delhi ! The dealer suggested for the E series pioneer and I couldn't get any audition. Any place in Delhi or Gurgaon where I can auditions speakers as well?
Can anyone help to decide what should I go for?
I'm looking for crisp and clear with good bass!
Can anyone help me to decide the avr and speakers?
Thank you

As sunilkm mentioned, you need to think what kind of setup you really need.
7.1 (i.1., 5.1.2) is worth for movies, specially if you have (or willing to do efforts to get) 7.1 movie content.
STEREO is 2 channel, meant for music, may not give you joy while watching multi-channel movies or gaming.
5.1 should be more than sufficient for your needs, but STEREO performance from AVR is not head-to-head equivalent to dedicated STEREP setup. It does not mean at all that its bad really, you need to audition and decide if you are happy with AVR performance or not.
I suggest you spend some time to audition a few setups available near your place, like sound by design (sec 21, Gurgaon), bass'n'treble (ghitorini), etc.

Hope this helps.
