Hi Folks,
I am a newbie to this forum, so pardon me for my little or lack of knowledge.
First a little bit of history
Till about last year I was using a CRT at home. My parents are not much into electronics and hence they really did not care whether they watched an LED TV or a CRT. My efforts to push them to get a LED TV had gone in vain. We were using a regular STB. But then the world cup was about to begin. I somehow coaxed dad into buying me a 50inch LED.
Obviously the movement from watching a 29inch to 50inch was a phenomenal experience. Weekends became movie weekends. It was just great to watch HD movies on the large screen at home.
I had an old Pioneer DVD + 5.1 sound system which I continued. Sound from the STB was also regular stereo. However with the TV in place, the bug to create a proper HT bit me. Wondering what to replace first I thought first I needed to buy an AVR (realized its a mistake later) as I though I already had decent 5.1 speakers and I just needed to hook them up to a good sound receiver.
After extensive research on specs and costing, I bought the Demon AVR X1200W from Amazon Germany. The service was great and I got it cheaper than local even after adding freight and import duties. I was very happy thinking it would complete my HT dream.
I connected everything to come across my first barrier. The subwoofer I had was a passive one and the receiver needed an active one. So I had to look for a new receiver. Looked for the cost online it came to a minimum of Rs.10k. I thought why not just first try with the speakers.
So I connected everything only to realise I wasn't getting the punch and quality I was expecting. In fact it seemed worse than before with the Pioneer DVD system. That's when I read more and came across Posts which said better the receiver , better were the speakers reqd.
So now I am here again looking for a good set of 5.1 speakers preferably under 20-25k. Also I would like to know whether I should buy the complete 5.1 set or front, surround, center and subwoofer separately. Please recommend.
I am open to looking at used speakers in good conditions. If anyone knows any seller of same please let me know.
My current system is
50in FHD LED TV
Airtel DTH HD
Denon AVR X1200W
XBOX 360
Pioneer DVD System DV131- Speakers are rated 60W 6ohm
My room is 20ft X 11ft
