Hi,
1) After some research I narrowed down on a Denon 3808CI receiver-
Why?
It has almost everything from a feature set perspective.
Network connectivity and it is a Denon. My only other options were Onkyo and for Audio it seemed like Denon was the best bet.
I want to invest in a good receiver since I am a complete audio freak. However, maybe I am shortsighted and did not evaluate enought. Hence wanted to understand from others in the forum, what else can I look at, at this price range.
2) Now speakers are rather important and I plan on driving two rooms with this denon- My living room for video and an audio room with some sound proofing for audio.
Due to budget constraints I plan on actually buying an ok set for my video room for now - Any suggestions?
And buy two good speakers for my audio room atleast.
I listen to a lot of jazz, classical, drumming, rock, techno and indian music. I have listened to speakers and for the budget that I can afford narrowed down on Monitor Audio - RS6 (really loved them) and an Usher - love it, but it is expensive.
Again maybe I have not evaluated enough and experts around here can help me understand if I have other options.
Please let me know if my thought process is right and what other options do I have?
PS: I plan on picking both of these from Singapore where the prices seem reasonable. Any suggestions on where to buy them at a competitive price in Bangalore?
