Looking for a home theatre setup within 75-80k

I have auditioned 2 different setups:

1) Denon 1910 with Polk audio OWM 3.WALL MOUNT for fron and surround, CS10. center speaker and PSW 110 Sub-> Total cost after discount around 85k
from ProFx

2)Onkyo SR-606 with Jamo speakers for 98

want suggestions which system should i opt for. My budget is approx 80k. I also have to demo a denon av with q acoustics speakers within a day or two.

cheers.

The Jamos hopefully are not satellite speakers. If not, then that would be a better choice. Bookshelves or floorstanders can do a lot of things better when it comes to music as compared to satellites.

The denon 1909 is more musical than the Onkyo 606.

FS/BS are better than satellites - if 2 channel sound is a prerogative try the denon with wharfdale diamond package. (BS+ SS+Sub)

Hi Piyush,

whats your room size? whats your listening taste? whats the split between music and movies? you prefer BS or FS?

Yamaha 663 with Q acoustics 5.1 [around 80 K] would be very good in this budget.

Thanks,
Prakash

Hi piyush,
Greetings. The Denon 1910 is a very good Avr but I feel the Polk owm3 doesn't do justice to the capabilities of 1910.
I think for the price you can get better bookshelf + sub combo speakers than owm3 I think. The Q-Acoustics 1010i package are very good and should go very well along with the Denon. Our member Moserw has done a few setup for his friends with the 1010i package(Yamaha+QA1010i) and he has given very positive reviews for the same.The QA 1010i package is an What Hifi award winner.Similarly a Wharfedale (9.1) package can also be had within your price it think.There are various threads discussing it, please use the search option.
If your priority is an all rounder ie good for Music and Movies the Denon is it.
For Movies Onkyo and Yamaha is preferred.

One more thing when you audition the Denon do checkout the Polk RTi series (Bookshelf's/Towers) also.And tell us how you feel about it.

All the best,
Regards
Sam

Room size = 10'x10' around 100 sq. ft
Listening taste = mainly movies(english action)
since the room size is small, BS will fit better in the room

The problem i am facing is where i get yamaha, they don't keep Q Acoustics so not possible to listen to them together. Also don't know where Q acoustics is available in Kolkata. Wharfdale is also available at a different place; so cannot have a demo of yamaha/onkyo with wharfs. Pls suggest because i have to finalize my setup asap because my apartment is almost ready and then internal wiring will be difficult.

Thanks
Piyush.

Hi Piyush,

Where are you located?

Q-Acoustics is rated high. 663 too is a very good receiver. Moserw has setup 2 installation using his combination. why don't you ping him and ask for his feedback.

Thanks,
Prakash.

Hi Prakash,

I am located at Kolkata.

Piyush.

then you can divide you purchase in 2 stages.

get the AVR fisrt.

then take your AVR for speaker audition and buy which one you like.

with yamaha 663 you can't go wrong.

Thanks,
Prakash.

with yamaha 663 i am getting a quote for 48k. is it ok? denon 1910 for 45k and onkyo 606 for 40k.
