Hi there,
This is my first post at Hi-fi Vision amnd I have read some interesting posts regarding Home theaters and Audio systems.
My cousin yesterday puchased Sony Home theater system (DVD player + 5 speakers + sub) and I was impressed with the quality of sound. We had Casino Royale DVD playing and the output seemed pretty good. I have seen here and in other websites that these consumer HTS don't stand a chance when compared to real systems like Onkyo, Marantz, Jamo etc.
I have been leaning towards Onkyo (HTS 3100, HTS 3105 offers going around in Bangalore for around 20K).
I need help in making a decision - I'm willing to invest upto 20K in a good Home theater system that packs a punch (an I don't mean just bass). I don't require a DVD player as I already own a couple of them. I could do well with a receiver, sub and speaker set.
From your experience what would you suggest me to buy - Onkyo 3100, 3105 or any others in the 20 K range? I would prefer Home theater in a box Is Onkyo good compared to consumer systems like Sony, Philips etc?
I don't know how far the offers will last (20k for an Onkyo systems); I'm guessing until next month.
Looking forward to your raves, rants and suggestions.
Have a happy Diwali
