My quest to build a HT Setup

[Chaoseater]

My old Samsung Smart TV is laggy. So went ahead and bought Mi Box 4K ATB. I am connecting via HDMI cable provided with it in the Media player connect behind X2600H and output is to TV. But the display doesnt show up but when I connect via HDMI to TV, it's working. Am I missing something ? Please help

Try plugging in MIBOX directly to TV first using same HDMI cable.

Connecting directly to TV is working and AVR is also working. I had mendled with some options in Input in AVR. Restored it back to default. It's working now. But I feel the output which in terms Audio quality and Picture quality is bad. I connected my external harddisk to TV and played a movie, the receiver was able to decode the DD produce enough volume. But in Mi Box, I get lessor sound and feel it's inferior. And Picture quality, I find grains in the complete output. Be it running from harddisk or any streaming content.

Its been more than a month of purchase and I am enjoying every bit of it.
But still there seems to be confusion in the mind. I went the used route for the speakers and sub.
My mind still doesnt accept I got used products spending almost a lakh on speakers and sub.
More or less most the speakers were 4+ year old.

The below the prices I got it for

Dali Zensor 7 - 35000 (MRP 78900 from AVstore, must have been less in 2015), Also Zensor 7 is no more available.
Dali Zensor Vokal - 13500 (MRP 24000 from AVstore, must have been less in 2015)
Dali Spektor 2 (2 Years old) - 12000 ( MRP 30000 from AV Store)
SVS SB1000 - 35000 (MRP 72000)

Considering Dealers offer 25% Discount on Dali.

Please note, this is not directed at the FM's that I bought from.

Its just a confusion in the mind and wanted to share with you all and ensure that I have made a wise decision.

Absolute vfm as u got everything for 1/3rd prices if got a new one.
Anyway speakers tech wont change much so 2nd hand is fine as long as they weren't abused by previous owner.
Av rcvr i wd prefer a new one coz of new tech getting featured every year.
Happy Listening.

These are great prices compared to 2015 selling price and even ongoing used market price

 

[sujithblaze]

The prices that you have listed are really good, especially the sb1000 for 35k

 

[Barun7]

That's a very reasonable price you have paid.
And don't get me wrong - barring very exceptional scenarios, new Dali speakers don't get more than 10% off on mrp.

Thanks for the heads up.
I dont think its 1/3rd of a price. I have got it for half the price when discount given by DNI is 25%. Even if I consider the Dali Oberon 7(Next Iteration to Zensor 7 I hope) MRP is 96900 and considering discount from DNI at 25%, it would be 72K and a used Zensor 7 is available for 60K.

AVR I have got a new one Denon X2600H.

Now considering the current market scenarios, I pretty much feel okish.
One question though, How can I use these speakers ? I see a minimum of 5 years of use for it at home now.
I was contemplatiing of selling everything and buy new ones over the last one week.
But I have actually started enjoying it now, I felt the the noise levels were low prolly due to the AVR hasn't burn in yet.

I have a dealer who will ship to me and he offered me 25% discount (Some DNI conatct guy).

 

[avtar2008]

You got all the components at pretty nice price. So, enjoy your setup without worrying about these things.
