Intro
I am starting my tryst for a home theater after investing a lot of time in analysis and forum watching, have decided on taking a plunge for it. While I have invested in a few other components like my source (Oppo BDP83) and AVR Yam 459(planning to re-use it for now), I am now looking for speakers. I have borrowed the title from magma's thread on stereo speakers, hope my experiences will add value to others as well as help me too decide my speakers.
What I am looking for
Speakers that match my music/movies taste. Primarily for movies, but I have a hunch although I initially thought this would change once the quality of my setup changes.
I am not keeping a fixed budget as I want to initially audition a wider range and then make out the compromises in terms of quality versus effect ( go for a high quality 2.0/2.1 or for budget 5.1 vs lower the movie listening experience) although rough budget would be 50k to 1Lakh.
With my large living room area and odd placement wrt furniture, I will be looking for a beefy bookshelf but would still look at a few floorstanders to check if its worth re-arranging everything in my living room.
What I am taking to audition
Music
Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet/Sultans of wing
U2 - I still havent found what I am looking for
Indian Ocean - Maa Reva (Kandisa)
Vivaldi - Winter Symphony
Rock On - Yeh teri meri baatein
Rang De Basanti - Bhajan+Title song
Movies
Lord of the Rings -3 - Last Battle Scene
Dark Knight - Tunnel Scene
Incredibles - 1st scene
Gladiator - Russel Crowe speech in Colosseum
Bourne Identity - Chase scene
Might reduce a few due to shortage of time.
