As per the price hike...

Not only Wharfedale...

But, all the Audio/Video Equipments prices, are expected to rise by 10-20% facing the new cess, increase in dollar rates, etc...

That's bad news... a body blow to what is already a fragile industry.

I think the AVR you heard must have been Yamaha 2600 which is a pretty good AVR. The speakers are rather warm so you would need a lively amp to partner with them. Kshitij would be the best person to recommend. The Onkyo 605/606 seems to have the most features in an AVR at a decent price.

Get the Wharfedale HCP and a pair of diamond 9.1 to pair with a Yamaha RXV661 and you will have a pretty good 7.1 ht setup! or you can even wire up the 2 speakers from the HCP as the front 'presence' speakers.

cheers!

I believe Mridul is right, I have already heard something on similar lines, in addition the Re vs the $ has lost about 7% in the last couple of months.
Even in US some prices have gone up - Theil and Bryston, Ayre, etc, up almost 15% to 20%
Price of copper and Aluminium has gone up significantly in the last 2 years adding to manufacturere woes.
Frankly, on some of our products especially Usher and Odyssey, its going to be quite a challenge to maintain the present pricing that we have

cheers

Thanks guys for replies...

Yes I agree, Wharfedale HCP is gud enough for the money we spend....Absolute VFM...

But are there any other options...which I can go for (budget 30k)..

I am ready to build HT step by Step....

right now i can go for just Fronts with receiver( 30 K)....

please sugges...

Thanks in advance....

Now that imo, would be the best idea!

A good entry level AVR (dare I mention future proof also) in the likes of Denon, Onkyo, Marantz etc. will eat up your entire budget as of now. But its worth the investment.

sameersingh · #37 30th May 2008, 10:33 PM

Hey Unleash_me...

entire budget means...30k or u sayin 60k:

If its 30K...can you suggest me sum gud AVR (future proof) in that budget.....

unleash_me · #38 30th May 2008, 11:12 PM

The obvious one that pops out is the TX-SR605, am sure if you look around a bit you can find one in your range. Heard someone finding it for cheap in Chennai elsewhere in the forum.

Another option is to look out for used stuff, not really a bad idea imo.

All the best.

Buddy...

I would rather go with Denon - 1508, for that budget...
Quality vs Price....

Club them with MS Avant 903i, bi-pole system...
Later on you can use those bi-pole as your side speakers in your 7.1 setup...

Denon - 1508 - Rs.24,499 (MRP)
MS Avant 903i - Rs.12,800 (MRP)

Total Rs.37,299, for a descent startup...and future proof too...

And then you can go for a pair of Wharfedale 9.1 speakers, to be used as your Rear Speakers...approx Rs.13K...

That will complete your 4 speakers, the rear and side speakers...

Then search for good center speaker and Floor Standers speakers...to club them and complete your 7.1 channel, slowly and gradually...

Think of it, i think this suits well...

FWIW, I am in the process of building my system in the same way. I have gone with CA 540R V3 and Quad 11L2. 30K + 25K when I purchased in Jan 2008.

My next plan is to add a (musical) sub somewhere around this year end.
