Need Home theater system

[prabhupmk]

Hi,

I am planning to buy a home theater system for my new home. There are so many products available in market and i got so confused to select a best one

My friend suggested to to buy YAMAHA, ONKYO or DENON and i need some more suggestion on these brands since i dont know much on this

Can anyone suggest which brand and model is best on these 3? and wat s the affortable price?

Plz give suggestion on one brand above three and a model:sad:

My budget is 23000

Yamaha YHT 298/Onkyo 3500 or 4505, Denon 1312XP are the usually suggested models. Prices will be between 27K-35K.

Onkyo's 3500 series HTIB (home theatre in a Box) is well respected in it's price range (approx Rs 25K).

You can take a different approach to things. Start with a decent 5.1 AVR (audio video receiver) and a pair of quality bookshelves. This should fit into your current budget.

You can then add the centre speakers, sub and rear speakers (preferably from the same speaker company) as and when your budget allows. In the end, you will get a system far superior to the Yamahas and Onkyos that we are talking about here.

if you want to go the HTIB way, then Onkyo 3500 / Denon 1312XP are perfect choices.

What are the components that you own/or the components that you will be connecting to your amplifier/receiver ?

Both are known to be good. Only you can decide which one suits you better! Since you are in Chennai, you should be in a position to audition both these systems. So take a few of your favourite DVDs/Blue-Ray discs/Audio CDs and audition both these. Then buy whichever you like better.

If you already have BDP/Media Player then you can demo Onkyo 3500 and Yamaha YHT296. both of them are good and you can zero in on these two models.

But if you don't have a player then I would suggest to go for Onkyo 3500 and rest of the money can be spent on a good player (BDP/Media)

What is your source for music/movies?

i have a sony bravia which have 2 HDMI port and tatsky HD and a philips blue ray player

Great.Then plz take the demo of both Onkyo 3500 and Yamaha YHT 296. pick the one whose sound appeals to your ears. That's the best way to go.

 

[aakashr]

always demo and then decide...........audio is very subjective, what pleases your ears might not work for someone else.

So take a shot with HTIB packages..Onkyo/Yamaha/Denon..
