If it can be of any help here is a review on CNET and some reviews by actual users on Amazon

Thank you. I am primarily looking for a good 2.1 HT system. Seen many reviews online, but I would like prices in India and first hand comments from users here.

I am also interested in the following options from the links provided.

1. Bose 3-2-1 (expensive at about Rs 85k in Bose showrooms in B'lore)
2. Denon S-301 (looks expensive as well, not sure if available in B'lore)
3. Philips HTS6500 (doesnt look very good from reviews, need comments from users)

For a good 2.1 system consider the following:

Denon AVR-1507 receiver (around 24K)

Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Speakers (around 12K)

Wharfedale Diamond SW 150 sub-woofer (around 18K)

Just can't be beat!!!

Thank you Neal. But I dont see any Wharfdale dealers in Bangalore.

Meanwhile I confirmed with Denon dealers about the price of S-301. It Rs 1,23,000/- ! However it is seen rated as the best in 2.1 systems on various review sites online.The lower end S-101 seems to have lots of complaints.

AVR 1507 is for Rs 24,900/-

Sony india has listed DAV-X1 on their site. But it seems they dont stock it anymore. It is listed for Rs 39,900/-. I think the latest version in this series is DAV X1V. Which is not available in India as well. Please let me know the user feedback for these models.

You can view the list of Wharfedale dealers in India at:

I suggest you to hear the speakers. Great value for the money.

Thanks for the info. However I find that AVR 1507 doesnt have a media player in it. It is just an AV receiver. Please suggest a good mediaplayer with a/v receiver to go with wharfdale speakers.

I would suggest the Denon DVD-1730

Thanks.

Again this looks like a plain DVD player. I am looking for an HtiB kind of setup with a combined media player cum AV receiver and 2.1 speaker system.

Its always best to go for separates than a combo unit.

AFIK only Sony/Philips/Yamaha offer HTIB in India. My suggestion would be for you to audition them at your local dealer and buy the one that you think sounds the best.
