I have a LG 32# LCD and I am planning to buy a HTiB. I am also lookign at buying a media player (most likly Xtreamer). I am not as expert as most of the folks on this forum seem to. I went through many relevant posts in this forum and what i understood was - I can either go for Denon 390 , Onkyo 3200 or Onkyo 5205. I stay in Noida and I went looking for these to reliance digital in Shipra mall Gaziabad and home town in GIP in Noida. Reliance had Onkyo 3100 and 5205, 5205 was for 34K and he agreed to give pioneer HDMI dvd player(cannt remember the model) with it as well. GIP only had Onkyo 3100. So my question is : 1. Where can i find these in NCR (Noida?). 2. Which one of these is a better buy. I dont want to buy a model that is too old and over the hill ..my need is 50% movies & 50% music(mostly net radio via Xtreamer). _ Thanks in advance !

Onkyo Htibs you can find at Onkyo Wonderland Showroom at CR Park in New Delhi, their the contact person is Mr. Sanjeev Arora and you can get in touch with him on 9811176789. For Denon Htib could be found at Croma. If you have a limited budget then you could also start with an AVR like Denon 1610 and a pair of Bookshelf Speakers for now and as and when your budget permits then you can keep on adding to your setup. This way you will have a far more greater satisfaction with your setup than the Htib route.

philips as per recommened by many people
sony dav-dz 690 (1000 w rms)..

50 k for LCD seems a bit stiff, if you are aiming for a good-to-proper system in a budget of 80 k.
Suggest scale down the LCD part to @ 40 k....means a shade lesser size screen ... and also without a few bells and whistles.
With 40 k remaining, it still might be a bit difficult ... might have to increase your budget by @ 10 k. I did a bloody huge amount of legwork ... study ...
interactions ... auditions .... what not, to finally decide on my system. Settled for a Pioneer VSX 519 K + wharfedale moviestar 70+ for a 15' x 11' room. No floorstanders, only wall mounted satellites except the sub. Scintillating system .... wholesome movies experience now and wow music ...western/Indian classical, vocals, instruments, bollywood nos., FM radio. NO GAMES FOR ME.
In case the Wharfedale model is slightly out of your budget, you may also look at the Polk Audio satellites. Do not, I repeat, do not try the Onkyo speakers .... not worth it.
Just my 2 cents .......

Do you know where I can audition Warfedale+Denon in NCR/Delhi ? How much does Wharf 10.1 costs?

You can audition them at Bass & Treble, Dwarka, Denny is the contact person, call him on 9999016124. Wharfedale 10.1 costs 15K
Thanks everyone for your valuable suggestions. After months of deliberation I finally took the plunge.. bought Denon 1610 +warfedale 9.2 yesterday!! I had 9.1 in mind but 9.2 sounded little brighter and had little more bass than 9.1, the kind i like.
I have LG80FR lcd and after going through posts/reviews i wasn't expecting 1610 to do any serious video upscaling but I was pleasantly surprised but improvement in my Airtel IPTV video
