Hi All,

I am planning to finalize my home theater with the local vendor in Pune ( future living) . My requirement is 'Mostly Movies Midrange Home Theater' and room size 12*8 Sq ftThis is the configuration and quote I have received form the vendor.

Can anyone suggest if this is the good/correct configuration and offer?

Floor Standing- Mourdant Short Aviano 6 (Pair) - Rs.44000
Bookshelf/Standmount - Mourdant Short Aviano 1 Rs.19100
Centres - Mourdant Short Aviano 5 Rs.15500
Subwoofers - Mourdant Short Aviano 7 Rs.30000
AVR- Denon 1713 Rs. 36900
Installation- Rs.5000
Local taxes VAT 12%- Rs.18,188
Total 168,688

Regards
Abhay

For a room size of 12x8, the above configuration is too heavy. Even for a room of 14x10, this is too heavy. Go for bookshelves, which will be be better than floorstanders for your room. No disrespect to MS-Aviano 6 which are brilliant speakers but they will be underpowered by Denon 1713. You can keep the budget to 1 lakh and this will be more than sufficient for your room.

Go with this speaker combination only if you intend to move the system to a larger room (say 15x12 or more) and then the AVR should be 120W RMS for each front channel (like Denon 2313). It will be then when MS-Avioano 6 will shine.

Go for the bookshelf speaker as suggested, Floor standers are overkill for the room size. I have gone through this exercise and now settled with bookshelves.

Thanks for the reply and your valuable inputs. So should I go with same configuration and replace floor-standing with bookshelves??

yes that is the correct path, either upgrade AVR or go for BS.
