Best Home theater under 25K INR

Dude for the amp stick to denon. They also have a great htib around 40k. Or you can try the wharfdale 9 series spkr package along with denon 1706amp it sounds fanatatic.Best bang for your buck.

Looks liek you have forgotten to read the NAME of the topic..here it is "Best Home theater under 25K INR"....you are suggesting him to buy a Denon 1706 which itself is 25k...what do you expect him to use as speakers..your But* ...Dont mind...just joking.

Lets not instigate him to inflate his budget..many hifi enthusiast run away from hifi because they feel hifi isnt affordable. So lets stick to the budget and give him a affordable suggestion.

Hey! I agree Dr Bass. But i was responding to query as mentioned above. there are times that a lot of people would'nt mind streching themselves. I't's for the individual to decide.

Well I was going through the long details, well I would tell you to visit any ONKYO outlet nearby, ONKYO's Gladiator is a perfect HTIB for yourkind of usage. It will cost you around 26K based on the applicable taxes in your state. Thats the right product for yourkind of budget. It gives youthe real value for money. Remember, today Onkyo is one of the only few companies which are officially present with perfect service set right across India.

Even the product quality, user friendliness and the tonal balance are excellent.

I went to ezone last week at Bangalore.

They had onlyo HTS 590 for 26K. This has a passive subwoofer. Is this bad?
The details of this package are at http://www.onkyoindia.com/products/H...tor/hts590.htm

They also had an Yamaha package for 25K which includes 5.1 channel Philips DVD Player. The reciever is HTR-5930 and the speaker package is NSP-110 or NSP-111 (I am not sure). Couldnt find the details of the speaker package on the web. But reciever is this,

The differences that I know are that Onkyo has a passive subwoofer and the speakers are of 6 Ohms impedence while Yamaha has an active subwoofer and the speakers are 8 ohms impedence. Yamaha is 80 W RMS/Channel and Onkyo is 120 W/Channel.

I am yet to checkout the sonodyne Cinique. Which I will this week. Will the sonodyne be better than the above two? There was also a Denon package for 30K.

Please advise. Thank you.

Having heard them all, I would suggest you to go for:

Yamaha's YHT-270 - 5.1 Ch Home Theater in a Box System

This is far superior to both the Onkyo and Sonodyne in terms of built and sound quality.

Recently Vijay Sales have advertised this setup for Rs. 29990.00

Thank you Cyrus. Ok, its the same as in ezone except for the speaker package. I'll check with ezone and other dealers in Blore. Is this vijay sales in Blore?

I don't know if Vijay Sales has a branch in B'lore. I am sure there must be other such dealres in B'lore where you can demo these units.

Vijay Sales have advertised these Yamaha Home Theatre Receivers on SPECIAL PRICES:

RX-V359 - Rs. 14290.00

RX-V457 - Rs. 17490.00

RX-V459 - Rs. 19590.00

I think the Onkyo HTS 590 is heavily overpriced here at 26K. It retails at less than $200 in the US. Yamaha YHT 270 looks a slightly better deal at Rs 29K which is priced at about $275 there.

In any case, you can see that there is a mark-up of above 100% here. This may be due to the customs duty and freight charges.
