Budget Cinema Home theatre(CHT) systems.

Hi,

I have been searching & researching a lot for the last year and a half on building home theater systems. I observe that there are a lot of advice & help available for people who want to buy main stream product line for HT, however i have come acorss enthusiasts who would like to own a HT without burning a hole in their pockets. I have built systems <Rs. 45K which included a LCD Projector a AV receiver with tower speakers!

Today its my conviction that a complete Cinema HT (CHT) systems can be built within 50K budget that can give the main stream product a run for their money.

It is possible with the combination of low cost AV components & main stream AV components.

I want to invite people who share my idea that good quality CHT(cinema HT) need not cost you a bomb.

If you have similar experience pls share with all, and if you need any help or suggestion in regards to low cost systems please do not hesitate to post your questions.

Can you do a breakup on how you would distribute the 50K among player, receiver, speakers and screen?
It would be nice if you can recommend brands with models nos and prices.

Here is one such combination,

1. AVR Onkyo 504/505 - 20K
2. DAPIC-3885(Player) - 2.2K
3. Tower speakers(JBT-3) - 6.7K( 2 Towers, 1-cntr, 2-srr)
4. Subwoofer(10''kit ) - 2.0K(Local electrnc market)
5. LCD Projector + Screen -18K(shipped from Shenzhen)

Total=48.9K ~ 50K.

The LCD projector is 7" Polysilicon based with a native resolution of 640x480 and goes upto 1024x780, decent for a $270 cost with $60 toward shipping via 4PX, u can bundle the screen to save on the shipping cost.
