Hi All,
Thanks for all your welcome messages.
Just wanted to share my current video/HT set up:
32 inches Samsung Full HD LCD TV(forgot the model number)
Pioneer DV 220 K DVD player
Yamaha YHT-S 400 soundbar ampli/subwoofer combo(didn't want too many wires)
So far so good.
Interested in stereo set up now. Had a Panasonic SCM-10 micro component all in one, which is bi-amp, bi-wired(it was good at that time, 4-5 years ago). I listen to a wide variety of music with more inclination to Rock/Metal, Country, Jazz/Blues, 50's/60's/70's old hindi film songs.
Had checked out Denon M38 at ProFx, Onkyo CS 525 at Promises, CA combo at SKS. The Heart and the Mind is raging a battle since budget is a huge concern here. Have gone through Tirthankar's thread for stereo set-up and enjoyed the observations/comments and learnt about warm sound/tight bass/bright sounding but can't really understand deep detail as I am a novice in this field. Also got tempted by the HiFi Mart of the Marantz stereo combo (although not heard their sound) and got disappointed since there is no credit card payment option. Also considering Norge 2060 with a budget CD player and Tannoy bookshelf.
Cheers!!
