Initially I was looking for HTIB like Yamaha YHT 195(23k), Onkyo S3200 (25k), Denon DHT 390 (30k). After various demos, I was not happy with quality of audio output for songs even though they are good for movies. Hence I have decided to stretch my budget upto 50k (max) and started looking for some thing better for music and movies and saved some money in the last 3 months. After various demos, I have shortlisted the following around 50 k budget:
AVR - Yamaha RXV 463 (20 k)
5.1 Speakers: Jamo A102 HCS5 (27k) or Energy Take Classic (28k)
DVD Player: LG DV 388 or Philips 3366 or 3388 or Sony NSP 728 (3-5 k)
I found both the above speakers are equally good for music, my personal feeling is that Jamo is little bit more bright in sound. Demo is done with Yamaha 363/Denon 1509/Marantz 3053 so I feel it should be better with Yamaha 463.
Please help me with your views in selecting the right combination in max budget of 50 k + 2 k max as I need to scrape further for cables. I can go for Denon 1610 but additional burden of 5k which is hard to fund at the moment. I also had demo of Wharf Moviestar 70, but it was not comparable to above Jamo/Energy. Please also suggest me if any other better combo is available within my budget. This setup will be in my Living cum Dining area of 300 sq.ft, L shaped area. I am having 32" Sharp Aquos LCD (720 p) and Tata Sky, normal STB and not planning to upgrade in the next 4/5 years. Presently using Sony VCD Micro and Mitashi DVD Player (gone kaput). I want this setup for all kind of movies as well as music (mainly Hindi & Tamil MP3 film songs and some carnatic/devotional songs)
