[argurpreet321]

Hi...
I am a newbie here n need help choosing a system for my home....
Budget Rs. 60,000/- Can stretch upto 75 k
Will be connecting it to a samsung lcd...
Am mostly looking for good music playing capabilities...with decent home theatre sound for movie playback...
Will be playing music from my hard drive or audio/mp3 cds...
dvd playback...blu ray if possible but have a ps3 for playing blu rays...
Kindly suggest the best setup for near audiophile sound ( if possible in my budget)...
Also guide me where I can find these components in Delhi...

Wait man, it is early morning.

What is your preference - Stereo or 5.1? Room Size?

 

[argurpreet321]

Hi bro....sorry bout tat...guess was too excited...
Would prefer 5.1. Nd the room size is around 9' x 18'. So a very rectangular room but the setup will be at one edge of this room nd I will be sitting in front of the speakers at a small distance of about 6'. So there would be a recliner sofa in front of the speakers.
But I need the setup to be future proof as I may be shifting to a newer place with a bigger room. That's why I am thinking of going in for proper floor standing speakers.

Bro 30K for AVR and 50 K for 5.1 Package+connectors.
75K is reasonable budget for HT.

Wait for Delhi FM to route you towards the right audition point and for options

If you want a dedicated music system go for stereo setup n get AVR 5.1 setup only if you are a movie freak.

at a given budget you get much better sound quality for a stereo set up when compared to a surround sound. esp if you like music and listen to a lot of it you will be compromising on its quality if you go in for a surround sound at that budget.

its up to you to decide on stereo vs surround sound. in stereo you wont have sounds coming out from all over the place but it still does come out from the front 2 speakers.

as for the b&w's the 685 is a bright speaker. quite expensive compared to what is out there and doesnt pair easily with amps. pairs well with the rotel but that again is an expensive amp.
