Home Theatre Setup for 75k

[pranjal.3029]

Hello, Hi-Fi Community,

My family have just moved in our new home and we are now looking for a new Home Theatre Setup for our lobby. Our budget is Rs. 75k and our usage for the Home Theatre would be 60:40(Movies:Music) so we want a system which can suit our needs. I went to our nearby Mall and demoed the Bose Cinemate GS Series II 2.1 System and was pretty blown away by it. But I know that Bose systems are way overpriced so I want your specialist's advice. This will be my first Home Theatre setup. I am not necessarily a fan of HTiB so all kinds of suggestions are welcome. And as the majority of crowd, a good subwoofer is a must. I live in Chandigarh Tri-City so open to either buying locally or online. If any more specific details are needed then I'll be happy to provide them. Please suggest every component as I don't have much knowledge in the field of home theatres but otherwise I'm a tech freak (I would be highly thankful to anyone who can explain as much as possible about the aspect that he/she is writing about as I don't want to remain a n00b in the field ) Thanks

Dear Pranjal, asa far as your requirement goes, I would suggest you to go for 2 things to build your HT. You need an AVR of atleast 40K and another minimum 40K for speakers. For AVR you can choose Yamaha/Denon/Onkyo/pioneer etc whichever suits your ear. for speakers if you have to get a 5.1 setup then you have lots of option like wharfedale, BA, Energy, Paradigm and the list goes on.

I am from Tricity too. I'll PM you my personal number. You can contact me and I'll guide you which shop to visit and check the stuff.

I knew that much! What I don't know is the specific model of speakers I should go for. Someone suggested me Pioneer Andrew Jones AJ-5235XT + Pioneer VSX-523-K AV Receiver. Is it better than Bose GS Series II 2.1 System? I auditioned that and I was pretty blown away by it.

I did PM you regarding the shops in tricity, the thing is that you have to a bit of research and audition them and pick the one which suits your budget and ears.
as PMed, you can visit
1.Melody House sec-35
2. Galaxy Hifi, ph-11, mohali & lastly
3. Symphony but these guys are little arrogant and overpriced but you can check out the stuff just to have variety and gaining broader ideas.
