As discussed in many forums here, the main challenge of getting goods from US will be the unpredictable customs, you may or may not get away paying much. Also if the package is big and eye catching you will be attracting attention from customs. Secondly, you should note the power standards of US and India, 110 vs 220v. Thirdly, warranty coverage. If you can risk all these, you can go ahead. But, You can get good deals here if you are able to dig deep and research. All the best.

Hello Guys,

I finally bought a HT setup. Yamaha HTR-3067 + JBL cinema 510 speaker set. Price = 34.5k

I just finished watching a movie in that and the experience is pretty good. Very clear sound and bass is more than I want.

Guy who came for installation had not calibrated the system. I am not getting enough volume from the surround/rear speakers. I increased the level for those two speakers in settings, but still no improvement.

Please give me some pointers to learn how to calibrate the system. I want to learn more about the audio and acoustics. Please advise.

That is a good deal.. even today!
