Are the speakers going to double the duty of stereo & HT (or) juz HT purpose...

For both Music and HT, 70% HT

For a 70% HT experience, there is no real need for FS.... A Sat+Sub (or) BS+Sub combo would be ideal....Getting a FS for 70K & crossing them @ 80hz to a sub-woofer is like you not exploiting the full potential of it...

Also i see that Onkyo TX NR 807 is Audyssey DSX capable (7.1) mode, i have used them & the movie experience is extraordinary....

Here is a link of my hands-on experience using Audyssey DSX...http://www.hifivision.com/reviews/5...e-using-front-wide-spks-hands-experience.html

For a budget of 1 Lac this is what i would suggest....

Sonodyne Avant speakers LCR 250 (For left, right & center) x 3 pcs -Approx 45K..(From hifimart.com after 10% discount)

Sonodyne Avant 150 (pair) x 2 - for surround & wide speakers - Approx 36K.

Any sub-woofer of his choice for remaining budget of 20K.... Exactly 1 Lac hyeah:

This way he has full 7.1 config.... If he doesn't feel like having 7.1, he can limit it to 5.1...

There are SO many threads about people asking for recommendations for floorstanders already existing in this forum
Then there are threads from people (myself included) who gave detailed personal experiences of their speaker buying journey (including comments on various speakers they listened to)

Please invest a few minutes and read a few of them

Any other make that would go well with onkyo.

Another make would be the B&W.

I have not gone thru the entire thread so unaware of the requirements.

But I used to sell Onkyo AVRs eons ago and nothing sounded as good as the above combo.

I had heard onkyo AVRs with onkyo speakers, ELAC speakers, Tannoy speakers, Missions, KEF speakers (Which I own) but I still consider the B&W to be the best in terms of combo.
