Need advice for Home Theatre system under 1.25 lacs

[v3491]

Hi all,

I live in Bombay and I am redoing my room and thought I should take the opportunity to install a home theatre system. The room is approximately 18-20 feet long on each side and square shaped. My original budget was 1 lac, but I may be able to stretch it slightly if I get something that's better. This would be mostly for music, but also quite a bit for movies

My needs are

1. Front tower speakers (2)
2. Centre speaker (1)
3. Rear surrounds (2)
4. Sub
5. Receiver

So far I have just visited the JBL showroom in Palladium. From the audition I was recommended the Studio 180s (25k), the Studio 120c (12.5k), Control 1s (8k), a Sub 550P (40k) and the Harman/Kardon AVR 265 (45k). I would say I was happy with the speakers and the sub, but not so convinced by the receiver

I am also visiting the Telome showroom in Bandra sometime tomorrow and have had a audio consultant visit my house. He is supposed to give me a package deal in a couple of days, but from his talks I had a feeling it will be prohibitively expensive!!

Can anyone please recommend where else I should look and more importantly if there are any particular speakers/receivers/subs I should be seeking keeping the above requirements in mind, which in your opinion are better than what I am currently looking at

Thanks a lot!!
