Dear All,
After some self-realization and some study, I have come up with an updated set of requirements from my desired HTS:
Room size: 20x22 with lots of doors & openings
Already have:Samsung 40" LCD, Philips DVD Player, 2 85W Sony speakers which I intend to use as Rear speakers.
Budget: 40000 for AVR and 60000 for 2FS & 1center; would buy subWoofer later if required.
Usage: 60% Music(FM,Worldspace,Audio CD) 25%-TV(Airtel DTH mainly music related programs/channels) 15%-Movies
Music choice: Bollywood, AR Rehman, Soft Hindi Ballads
For music,the setup should have exceptional clarity at low volumes(when my wife is around) and should be powerful at high volumes(when I am alone) and for movies, should give a good surround experience.
Please help me choose between the following AVRs:
1. Marantz 5003
2. Denon 1909
3. Yamaha 663
and the following FS:
1. MA RS6
2. PSB Image T45
3. Jamo C607
4. Dali Ikon6
5. Quad 22L2
6. KEF iQ9
7. AE Neo3
My Queries:
a. Please suggest me best combination of AVR-FS as per my needs.
My own audition experiences have left me confused with a poor image of my audiophile sense. Maybe it will improve with experience(probably after buying something & listening for long). So instead of auditioning all, I prefer to proceed this way: I will shortlist 2-3combos out of the above from your inputs and would audition only those and pick one of them.
In case few speakers of the above are not in the same league, please let me know.
b. Does audio from fm & Airtel DTH have enough details to sound good on AVR+FS.
c. Does center speaker add any value in 2-channel Music.
d. Do I need to have subWoofer with these FS.
e. Please indicate the price for Quad 22L2, KEF iQ9, AE Neo3.
Thanks for your patience and thanks in anticipation of your inputs.
Best Regards.
