Hey everyone, I've been lurking around the forums since joining, for home theatre suggestions provided by the helpful community members so far.
I'm currently planning for a 5.1 system for a bedroom in a rented apartment with room dimensions: 13 x 11 x 9 ft.
Location: Bangalore.
Budget is around 3 to 4L for entire 5.1 system including AVR, can probably stretch a little bit further, if it's worth spending the extra amount.
Usage: Movies, so in order to budget around opting for bookshelves + subwoofer instead of tower speakers for Front LR.
So far I've been able to demo the below speakers:
1) Q Acoustics Q3050i + 3090i + 3060S
2) Polk S50 + S30 + S15
3) KEF Q950C + KEF Q650C + Q50A
4) Klipsch RP-600M + RP-600C + RP-402S
I'm leaning towards Klipsch RP-600M (front) + RP-600C (centre) + RP-500M (surrounds) but during the demo, vocals were a bit bright to my ears, probably because of far seating distance (>12ft) in the demo room and the speakers were on high volume? Planning to go for another round of demo this weekend.
Another option I was looking at is KEF Q350 (front) + KEF Q650C (centre) + KEF Q150 (surrounds). I liked the KEF demo although it was towers, so can I opt for bookshelf version hoping to have similar performance and having a decent sub to pair with them?
Subwoofer: SVS-PB 1000 Pro vs REL HT/1003 vs Rythmik LV12F, any particular preference or alternate recommendations? I'm yet to demo these models in particular.
AVR: Denon x1700H vs Denon x2700H, probably depends on whichever speakers I opt for, especially considering how power hungry the KEF speakers are.
Please share your thoughts and suggestions, preferably the models which are available for demo within Bangalore and also dealer contacts who offers better discounts.
Appreciate your time and efforts in helping fellow enthusiast. Thanks
