It feels so nice to have stumbled upon this forum. I am from bangalore.
I am a newbie to high end AV. ANd i have never owned hi end before. I did own a Panny HTIB, which i had brought in from the US, but i soon realised that separates is the way to go.
My new apartment will be ready in Feb 2008 and want to set up a decent HT in my living/dining room (approx 12ft x 25ft).
i have read good reviews on the Onkyo SR805 ( not yet in India, but was told that it would come here in a couple of months in time when i actually need it). Price is around 85k, which is way beyond what it sells in the US (~850USD). It is 26Kgs and that is why i am not so comfy asking someone to get it for me from the US, but it make s huge price difference, why not try?
I also plan to get the Panasonic PT-AX100U (~1300USD) and an Oppo 981 DVD player.
My 32"LCD TV will be Samsung LA32R81 (50.5K IN BANGALORE)
I am hoping I will get the speakers and cables in bangalore (absolutely no idea of the speakers!!)
I hope dear friends, that you will all be able to forgive this newbie for his questions and will be able to guide him through to a "Nirvana" in sound
By the way, i listen to a lot of 80's south indian music on poorly mastered CD's.. So my main need for the Ht system would be for DVD movies and hopefully for Natgeo and discovery ( if and when they go High def in India)
For my entire set up, i am budgeting around 2.7Lakhs ( everything incl the TV, Projector, AVR, 5.1 or 7.1 Speaker system,screen, dvd player, all cabling). Thats my best budget.
Nothing can be better if I get all my stuff under one roof!! ( Prithvi, are you listening?.... I have heard a lot of good abt Absphase.. and hopefully Prithvi or other esteemed audiophiles will be able to help me out)
Best regards
