Hi
This is my first post on the forum, though I have been going through many related threads & posts.
I too am looking for an entry level HT system in the ~30K range, and have auditioned Onkyo, Yamaha, JBL etc [apart from things like Bose, Klipsch + Marantz - see the audacity!! By the way I loved those Klipsch 500 HDT driven by Marantz at Cinebels...hope to build a decent setup block by block one day, like my car setup :licklips: ].
For the time being, I have shortlisted the following -
- Onkyo 3400 (Rs.30K incl Sony BD player thrown in)
- Onkyo 308 + 528 (33K without BD player)
- Yamaha YHT 296 (~30K without BD player) &
- Denon 1312 (~31K without BD player)
I will use the setup to watch HD movies & regular TV viewing (60-70% time) and also Audio CDs & USB mp3 (30-40% time).
Could the experts tell me which would be a better option (in terms of decent SQ, reliability, service support in bangalore etc)?
Thanking you in advance... & look forward to your valuable inputs.
warm regards
