Suggestions on Home Theater Please (50k-60k)

[bunty_11]

I am looking to buy a home theater system. My requirements are as below

Price range: 50k-60k
Features: provisions to connect tv,ps3,ipod,iphone and other android phones
I will be using it mainly for watching TV, for gaming consoles and downloaded movies through laptop/hdmi.

So far I have listened to Yamaha YHT 299, pioneer RS 33 and Sony STR K55SW. I liked the Sony as of now.

Since I am quite new in this field, may be I am missing out some additional features that I should have looked for. Please help me finding a good one.

i would recommend the pioneer rs33 or yamaha 299 over sony STRK55SW.

Sony is big on sound and generates a lot of noise, heard it left it go ( I do know the looks are good but not the sound reproduction, big speakers doesn't mean big sound)

Since your budget is 60k why cant you go for separates?

AVR separate + Speakers separate + sub separate

Thanks for your quick response.

Ya, I also felt kind of same about Sony STRK55SW, it is louder. I have heard a lot of positive feedback about Yamaha 299 (unfortunately its not available in reliance digital for selling), there is something Yamaha 2910 available and they said it is a new version. I didnt check it out yet.
I am not really sure about specifications for other AVR models and speakers. I was checking out some other threads in the forum and seen good reviews for boston-acoustics-soundware-xs-5-1 and Marantz NR 1504. Could you please tell me if this would be good deal or not?

My requirements are,
It should connect my PS3, Sony 3d TV, dell laptop, ipod and iphone
Optional: provisions for Bluetooth/wifi
Should I check for any other brands based on my requirements? Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Could anybody please reply.

I have also checked the review of yamaha rx-477 + Yamaha NSP40.

Which would be a better choice

yamaha rx-477 + Yamaha NSP40 or marantz NR 1504 + boston acoustics soundware xs 5.1

Hi

I have used the Marantz NR series + BA soundware for more than a year and the experience is awesome...good VFM....you can connect all the gadgets you mentioned.

Reliance Digital was selling the Marantz + BA speakers as a package deal for 55k odd coupled with DVD player...check if the offer is still there.

Yamaha is also good but Marantz is more of a high end segment like Rotel / NAD / Cambridge Audio etc where built quality and performance matters...

End of the day, it is your call to decide what you want and suits your budget and tastes.
