The Onkyo is a good choice.

Torvin is a Chennai based Indian manufacturer. Though he makes reasonably good speakers, he does not have the electronics for 5.1 amplification. Most of his focus is on 2 channel stereo.

Just stick to Onkyo.

One advise, spend a little money and replace their stock speaker cables with good speaker cables of 12 or 16 AWG. Good speaker cables will cost about Rs.3000 for 50 meters, and will a tremendous difference to your sound. Onkyo also carries good speaker cables, but I am not aware of their prices.

Cheers

I got a price quote of 29k for this Yamaha HTIB . Does that sound like a good deal? I am not really looking at spending 29k, I was looking more at aroun 25k and below, but on paper this thing for 29k sounds damn good? what would you guys say?

The specs look good, but have you auditioned it? If not please do. As I have said many times, personal audition is always important before you place the order. Take the DVDs and music CDs you like, and hear them on the system. If you like the sound, go ahead and buy it.

Cheers

okay also please consider the deal that E-zone is offering.....for 30k they are giving you a bare basic Onkyo 5.1 receiver (the TX-SR 304 i suspect) and the Jamo 406 package (two floorstanding fronts, bookshelf rears and center). The stock deal is with a Sherwood receiver, but i know people who've been offerred the onk, if they didn't want the sherwood.

Onkyo's receivers are generally super value at their price, and the 406 speakers from Jamo (although they are the bottom of the Jamo pile) are very nice warm, and offer a lot of punch.

For 30k, this is an amost unbeatable deal. I know two people who've bought these and they are very happy. There are definitely superior systems out there, but for 30k, I'd challenge anyone to find me a better setup.

ok the deal you are talkin abt is the combo of onkyo reciever+jamo 406 speaker package is it?
any way lemme check out this week,but i really doubt my budget of 30 k.

Thanks

Torvin offer home theatre systems from the range 8.5K - 30K. The models are MiniMax (with built-in amp) and Cineboy with TA 640 amplifier. Please note that both of these models do not come with remote. I audiotioned both Minimax and Cineboy. They sound excellent; especially the Minimax.

Craftel (Audiocraft) is also offering wide range of home theatre systems with satellites, front towers, and rear book shelf speakers. They have models with and without remote controls and decoders.

I too am new to this great Forum, though the Forum is not new to me.

You can get a very good Onkyo hometheatre for 19900 on Futurebazaar.com. A very reliable site. I bought this Onkyo HT and another Onkyo sub (for just Rs. 4005).
