Marantz UK | M-CR502 DAB

can be the source ... you can then choose b&w 685 speakers ... or some others after doing some auditions for your bass head

........... that too in Mumbai ....... !!!!!!!! wow.

:yahoo: Considering that in Bombay 60% if not more complete houses probably measure 10x10 thanks to the over inflated property prices

Quote your budget, it will help people to advise. So are you going to play via a media player/ ipod dock/htpc?

If you can import from US, try Dr HSU VT 12 with a HSU sub for a suitable budget.

Kef Q300 won't do gud for OP coz he clearly mentioned he needs bass and hates treble whereas KEF Q300 is tremendously detailed and has Slightly thin high frequencies.

Hmm ok .How about -
Epos Epic 2 (till 48 Hz)
Monitor Audio RX2 (does 40Hz)
Dali Ikon 2 (till 41 Hz) .. though Dalis are not famous for their lower ends
Paradigm Mini Monitor (till 42 Hz)

For source, probably go with logitech Squeezebox touch or duet, which will give usb/internet and fm radio. Buy this from the US.

For speakers I think you should spend some money on a sub if you like a bass. Unfortunately good quality subs come expensive - in the range of 40-50k. But it may be a good idea to audition a few subs at various price ranges and see what works for you.

For example, check out the Wharfedales (9.1 +SW150) at the 25-30k range.
A similar combo with Polk and keep moving up the range of speakers and see what works for you. Check out Paradigm mini monitor/ MA Bronze also in the next bracket.

For a stand alone sub you could check the range from SVS, but it could push your total costs to probably a lakh.

For all-in one systems you could go for Boston acoustics/squeezebox boom/B&W zeppelin air. They are at the lower end of your budget, but its always good to check out using your ears than spend more and regret.

till now i had these in mind
option 1-NAD c316BEE+PSB alpha B1s+wharfedale sw150 sub(22+15+18)
option 2-audioengine a5s+audioengine AS8(18+18)
option 3-used adam A7 active monitors(45)
source-mostly sqeezbox touch.

I suggest u to go with NAD C326BEE+PSB Image B6. Trust me I have this set-up and it has a very gud bass which is more than enough for music purpose.
