Hi Everyone!

I'm new to the forum and need some advice. I'm moving back to India for good next month and I plan to get a home theater setup from here.

What do you guys think of the set up?

As far as the sub, I have narrowed it down to Polk PSW505 and BIC America F12. Which one should I go with? Any other suggestions? Budget is around 200-300$

Will it be a problem if I use these with a step down transformer?

Will it affect the quality in any way?

It would be great if you can suggest a good Step down transformer for my set up.

How many would I need?

Thanks in Advance!!!!

Frankly, speakers are a personal choice, so hard to suggest anything, esp. if you have liked it, then it should be fine.

Speakers are passive so dont matter. For step down transformers, there are a few threads so you are better off checking those and getting opinions there instead of it getting sidelined here.

For the sub, I typically would always recommend a sub from a company that specialises, so would do BIC. If possible, check with those who already in the forum who have bought the BIC and the polk sub. But the BIC is a really small sub at 150w, so how big is your room, the polk might do more justice.

As a thumb rule, your denon consumes around 400w, and the sub if you stick to BIC is 150 W. So anything around 1KW or higher should be good for the step down.
