Mar NR1601 for Rs.25k(?) in grey.
Stereo
Marantz 5003 20k
5.1
Harman Kardon AVR134 for sub 20k from indiajbl.com
Harman Kardon/Marantz>Denon>Yamaha at the same price point
Any Harman Kardon 5.1 will beat any Denon within 20-30k in terms of sound quality. The Denon may have more features though.
I would blindly choose the options I mentioned.

Thanks for your suggestions but that is going to cross my budget, which is 25-28k (for receiver+speaker). Any good choice in this price range?
How about Onkyo?
How would Onkyo 3300 score among other choices in my budget?
You asked for a receiver around 20k. What I have advised is more like 18-20k.
For sub 30k, you can't buy a receiver plus speakers.
In that budget:
1. Choose btw Onkyo and Philips
2. Buy a 2.0
3. Get Harman Kardon + JBL RECOMMENDED CHOICE FOR MOVIES
Harman Kardon AVR 134 + JBL SCS 200 will cost around 28-30k

I though I will go for a good receiver around 20k and can get an average 5.1 system in 7-8k and upgrade for good 5.1 system later.
My main purpose would be music. I don't think I will be watching more than 2-3 movies in a month.
(I am a software developer, don't get much time for movie except sunday n on sunday I prefer theater. But I need music whole day, sometimes loud, sometimes mild)
For receiver or receiver+speaker system? Can you point some models?
Again, thanks for actively contributing to my thread and helping me choose a good system in my budget.
If your requirement is predominantly music, then why would you want to but an average quality 5.1 and upgrade later. You are wasting money IMO. I suggest you buy two front speakers for that money and buy the rest of the setup when you can afford them.
Marantz 6002? 16K- stereo amplifier.Harman Kardon HK 3390- 24000 is a stereo with a sub out for a powered sub.
The NAD 325 comes in at 25-26000 too, with a stereo and a sub out.
Dont buy anything cheaper. Heavy cheaper amplifiers have 2-4Kg heat sinks that 'cheat' you on the pick-up and see for quality kind of tests...

So do u suggest good receiver+good stereo speaker (like wf 9.1 diamond) or just a good amplifier n such speaker?
Ok. i have decided speaker - wf 9.2 or similar (in short stereo). As i won't be watching 5.1 movies a lot, that would be dead investment.
Regarding receiver, i think i should go with a good receiver rather than stereo so in future i just have to upgrade speakers.
In some other thread, i read that harman does not decode hdmi audio or something, does this mean that it won't be useful in attaching with BD player when i buy one?
How's denon 1311?
I have harman n onkyo in my city but not denon , yamaha or marantz. I am going to visit harmon showroom today

Hi mihird
Going by your post that I highlighted in red which appear to be contradictory, I guess you are in a confused state right now.
If you are predominantly into music, 5.1 is not for you. I do not know your exposure levels with regard to good gear, both Stereo & HT. You must go for a few auditions to know what these two are all about.
Regarding the query whether to go for Receiver or Amp, I guess the post
would be useful to you: http://www.hifivision.com/surround-...9-amps-avrs-vs-dedicated-amps.html#post178028
I suggest you to through the entire thread.
HI Rajesh,
thanks for ur inputs.
yes, i am in confused state right now.
visited onkyo store today and had demo of 3300, not at all impressed for music. good if u want to watch 5.1 movies. so if i go for such system, that would be complete waste of my hard earned money.
as per my usage, stereo aplifier is the right choice for me, with a good pair of stereo speakers.
the bad thing is, i m not from a big city so i there are not enough showrooms here. i found only onkyo n harmon kardon showroom (specific audio product companies, not including other tv n home appliance brand)
guys, sorry for this confusing thead, but can you now suggest good stereo amplifier?
Hi
What are your musical preferences, what size is your room, what is your budget? The answer depends a lot on the above.
Are you willing to buy pre-used stuff?
Don't be in a hurry, take your time auditioning equipment. Where in Gujarat are you, Ahmedabad must be having some listening rooms I'm sure.
Check if there are any knowledgeable members of the forum in and around your place. Take their advice also.
I have an acquaintance in Ahmedabad (not a member of HFV though) who is very experienced. I can PM you his No. if you want.

Music preference: all type of bollywood songs, some english songs. don't like too heavy bass english rock songs
room size: approx 150 sq. ft. (suggest something suitable to something bigger, planning to shift in near future)
Pre-used stuff: prefer to get new
Budget: How's is 10k budget for stereo amplifier? (not much idea abt this, found that 30k is entry level for 5.1 HTIB)
I am from Rajkot. I think I will have to visit Ahmedabad to have some demos of amplifiers n speakers. And yes, please provide me that person's contact number. I will talk with him and have some information before I visit Ahmedabad and also inquire if there are any other showroom in my city if I am missing any.
