Thankyou in advance..

Sure. Why not. If you like the tonality, has clear midrange for clear speech, should be good.

I always connect my movies and concerts to my stereo. I Dont bother with anything more than two channels and if you setup your speakers right you get the sharp virtual centre image(third centre channel) for free !

What is your budget for the speaker package ? I saw that you are building a atmos home theatre . In my opinion, go with any branded speaker package. if you have a very tight budget go with a satellite speakers and good sub or go with taga harmony or polk t series . so they all will be tonelly balanced for your setup.

SB acoustic drivers are expensive to other local drives and their box , crossovers , accessories and building everything will cost similar to a branded basic package . if you go with some local drives quality will not be there but maybe you can save cost . I would recommend you to go with a branded one .

maybe building a DIY subwoofer will works better . you can check this thread https://www.hifivision.com/threads/diy-sealed-subwoofer.90404/

Thankyou for valuable inputs. Yes am planning to get 5.0 package first.. Later will add sub. My budget for speakers is 50k. I heard about INDIQAUDIO but their package is out my budget.

So taga and polk basic models are my next option as they are fit into my budget.

Not looking 4 FS as its rented house (living room 15x12). Looking for bookshelfs package.
Plz suggest me right speakers to buy.

Thankyou.

Then definitely check tage harmony , eltax it will fit in your budget well and aesthetically appealing in your house than DIY projects . Diy projects you have to think about the box volume, bracing according to the drivers.

I never heard taga harmony and eltax so not sure about sound quality but they are good for value and go for audition and decide.

Better try to include a sub it will change your experience . So go for LCR and subwoofer now and add later surrounds and atmos .

I am waiting for my avr to get in my hands after me also planning to go with a good subwoofer and later add speakers to my chain

DIY depends upon your appetite for compromises. As a first time, I would suggest that you stick to some used speakers. They are great value for money. Hyderabad has many HT enthusiasts. Please visit a couple of FMs, listen before deciding what to buy. As suggested by @manek , Please buy a pair of bookshelves or floorstanders (I prefer FS over BS as I can avoid dead investment on speaker stands). Search forum for used Taga or Qacoustic speakers. These are easy to drive speakers - meaning basic AVRs can drive them. There are speakers like Pioneer FS52 or Elac which are cheap in cost but need powerful amplifier/ AVR to drive them. This should be good enough to start your journey. Save the big bucks until you figure out what is the family/your personal listening taste. Subwoofers and center channel can wait.. all the best!!
