Hi Folks,
Firstly, my heartfelt gratitude to all who have helped sustain this forum with your expert inputs on AV options. Must admit all your discussions helped me get a good insight and shortlist my HT buying options. Needless to say, 'You Guys Rock!!'
Now time to reveal my motive behind all these warm words - I plan to setup a compact HT system for my rectangular shaped living room with a floor area of 180sq ft. Room dimensions are 10ft(L) X 18ft(B) X 9.5ft(H).
My HT usage will be 60% Movies:20% Music:20% Sports+Gaming
Movie viewing: 60% Holly:40% Bolly+others on a 55" 3D LED TV
Though currently I'm inclined towards brighter sound (given the non-stop feed of electronic & remix stuff to my ear since the last decade), I wish to make a transition to the stress-relieving genre of soft soul music (Blame it on my better half:indifferent14
.
Given to understand from your discussions, I down selected the following HT combinations that suits my requirements and budget:
1) Yamaha RX-V575 AVR + Energy Take Classic 5.1 - Rs 70K
2) Denon AVR-1713 + Polk Audio TL1600 - Rs 63K
3) Denon AVR-1513 + Polk Audio RM6750 - Rs 50K
I have auditioned the Denons & Polks and kind of liked both combinations - Movie surround effect was more or less the same for both. The 1513/6750 combo was just a touch louder than the 1713/1600 but wasn't noisy like the Wharfedale MS-100 or the HTIBs that i intially auditioned. The 1713/1600 had an added bass depth as compared to the 1513/6750, especially felt while listening to a musical track.
Wasn't able to audition the 575/ETC yet. Eagerly waiting for it.
I also auditioned the Yamaha RX-V373+Wharfdale MS-100 and HK AVR-70+JBL Cinema 200.5, but found the Polks/Denon combo better.
Queries:
1) Are the above mentioned choices the right fit for my room size or do I need upgrade/downgrade further? (Add-on recommendations are welcome)
2) Is there a possibility of further negotiations on the listed price tags?
Lastly, please feel free to throw in your candid thoughts, wherever possible. I was able to reach this stage thanks to all your inputs and hence I'm sure your further guidance will help me make the 'right' choice.
Looking fwd to some interesting responses.:licklips:
