As an excellent starting system - I would look at
Denon 1713 receiver with
Paradigm Millenia One 2.0 (Pair) of speakers- For the Front Left and Right

This will set you back Rs 65,000.

You can always add a center channel speaker, Sub later. As your budget grows- you can move Front Left and Right to the Rear speakers and Upgrade your front speakers

okay for 25*18 size room...
60k startig budget
go 40k avr like denon 1912/onkyo equvalent....
and 20k or little higher priced fs
bs will also do the job as ur main aim is movie and aseparate dedicated sub will be there later...
audiotion and then decide...audition is the key..

buy centre,rears and sub later...

if 60k is fixed and full and final budget
get denon 1312 avr 22k/or onkyo equivalents
boston acoustics/wharfedale moviestar like 5.1 packages....35k....

imo get step by step..for a strong system

this is a fantastic avr...but only it costs 60k almost..

For your room size of 18 by 25 - I would go with 100 Watts per channel.

As a side note- in order to be able hear a difference in sound level you need to increase the power level by 2 or the next step that you should be looking at is 200 Watts

For decent sound level in your room 100 to 125 watts should be fine

i have notice onkyo avr have THD of 0.7% where as other have THD of .08% ....is this A important parameter for requirement of home theater like mine? look forward for expert guidance....

 

[mitra]

Dear expert what could be good option for avr if i keep a budget 40 k to 55k for avr only...need 3d pass thru , network enabled , i am taking marntz 5007 as one option (as per dear prosenjit suggestion)...and as per dear Thtpro Denon 1713 ....do let me know other option in similar price band...look forward for help...

Dear expert what could be good option for avr if i keep a budget 40 k to 55k for avr only...

Look choice of AVR depends on how much music / movies you will listen on them.

Yamaha and Marantz are better suited for music.
Whereas Denon and Onkyo have very cinematic sounding AVRs .

And also remember you need to choose your speakers according to your AVR.
Denon Pairs up well with Polk and Onkyo with Energy, Mission and Jamo.
Yamaha sounds good with Wharfedale and Tannoy.

It also depends on what type of sound you personally perfer. You may prefer a brighter sound with lots of detail whereas someone else may prefer a smoother sound, the 2 makes that come to mind with these 2 differences are Onkyo (Brighter) sounding and Denon (Smoother/ warmer) sound that others prefer.

So tell us about your preference and what type of music you are going to listen. We will help you.

Its better to build HT set up slowly one by one. It will satisfy you for a long time.

In the 47k price range for Denon - you are looking at AVR2113- It is a 7.1 System

You will not be able to hear the difference between THD of 0.7% and THD of 0.8%

 

[mitra]

Dear Rupam...thanks for excellent explanation ....i am looking for movie 70 % and music 30%...may be (Smoother/ warmer) sound

[devilwearsprada]

Sir, The 5007 is anytime a more advanced and a better option than the older version( The 1400's)

 

[mitra]

Dear devilwearsprada thanks for your input......can you explain little more...which older version 1400 you mention? i am looking for 1603 or 5007 but later seems to more costly so i am thinking of denon 2113...

 

[prosenjit]

i suggest audiotion.....
audition is the ansewer....
without auditio it is diffcilut to determine...

marantz/onk/denon/yamaha all make great avrs.....

i speacially suggested 5007 for iyt has pre outs...
whwre as denon pre out wala model comes in 85k range!!!!!!!!!
