Instead f the Jamo S 708 consider the Jamo S 406 FLOORSTANDING FRONT SPEAKER 5.1 PACKAGE which is available on a special at 32500

See http://cgi.ebay.in/Jamo-S-406-FLOORS...QQcmdZViewItem

I have heard the Jamo S 406 speaker package and found them to be great value for the money. I have not heard the Jamo S 708.

Hi Param,
I am newbie to this forum.
You can not go wrong with good old Yammie

. They bring best bang value for your bucks. Yes 2600 is good machine, Recently Yamaha has released 2700 world wide, but dont know abt their availability in India yet

.
Chk out this official 1700 / 2700 thread on AVS Forum for 2700

dear khanmadari
thanks for ur openion mate....
i m hopeful that i will get the desired results out of these components....

well i m aware of the 2700......
well it has the lan connectivity and has high HDMI support.....
but to be honest thats not of a botheration to me and i m happy with the 2600.....

Param,
Diff is not in HDMI but support for mp3 play back and IPOD connectivity and more power along with XM support. XM won�t be decision making criteria in India though.

I am planning for replacing my old RXV 1300 (paired with my old HK amp as external amp for front speakers in present set up) with latest model i.e. 2600 or 2700. Or go full fledge pre-pro way. Still evaluating options and seeking WAF for that upgrade.

Any ways keep looking there are good number of options available in India now a days.
Regards

dear khanmadari
apart from the fearutre difference..... the 2700 is also out of my budget so m happy with the 2600
at the end of the day i want value for my money and good sound for my ears...
hope ful of gettin with what i have decided on....
cheers!!!

I have not heard the revceivers so it would be difficult for me to comment on. However khanmadari seems to be more familiar with the receivers.
