Budget upto 25-30k: DVDPlayer+Amplifier+2Speakers+Woofer

[hencre]

hi,


I'm looking for a 2.1 speaker system to be used in my living room with LCD tv. After initial window shopping, my budget of 25k looks way tooo less

I dont want a 5.1 speaker system, because I cant wire the rear speakers.

What combinations of DVDPlayer+Amplifier+2Speakers+Woofer do you recommend in mumbai ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi:

DVDp CA DVD99 13k
Amp NAD 320/Marantz PM4001 10-12k (used)
Speakers Diamond 9.1 10-11k
Woofer MS SW150 price no idea

For the said budget,you can get good Htib from Philips starting from 12k to Onkyo 3200.
For music,

DVDp (3.5k) + Norge 2060(7500)+Norge spk(from 8k) + Norge sub(12?K) =31k

Norge make Sub? Last I saw was some 6 inch one! Not worthy of calling a subwoofer!!!

Also vinod are nad amps so cheap? also why require amp if you are suggesting powered speakers??

Thanks a ton for your responses.

I have now zeroed on:
1 -> Onkyo 3200 - ( any idea of the price in mumbai ?)
2 -> Yamaha NS P280 speakers+woofer (14k) + Norge 2060(7k) amp
3 -> Onkyo SKS-HT528 speakers+woofer + Norge 2060 amp
4 -> Sony Home theatre system(20-27k)

A. Which would best serve my purpose (HD Movies + IPod music Rock,Trance,Instrumental songs ) ?
B. Are there problems combining different vendors eg: Yamaha + Norg ?

If you cannot use rear speakers do not go for 5.1

Pioneer DVD + Norge 2060 + Wharfedale 9.1 or Polk TSi 100 + Polk Sub

With hard bargaining the above can be had for 30k.
Will sound better than all of the HTiBs or speakers from Yamaha/Onkyo

ONK 3200 for 25k & better for mov,
For music,options given earlier are better.

actually, onk 3200 is 21K in hyderabad.. you can try the same there..
Its good compromise between music and movies with your budget

Since your requirement is for 2.1 Speakers,

Try out Bose..
Companion 5 Multimedia Speaker System + Any good DVD player. all under 25k

Although it is meant for Computers, However the sound is pretty Amazing for Music.

no offence but lets keep bose out of this.u can get far better value in something like the audioengine A2/A5.very well reviewed equipment for precisely such usage.i have used a companion3 series2 2.1 and its quite good for nearfield usage,esp if ur using say a notebook.absolutely no value for the price tho.cheers
