Need advise for HT surround & sub

[mridulrajk]

Hi All,

Been a dormant member of this group for quite a while. I have recently started picking up some activity off late to setup my HT at home. I have got Onkyo's TX-SR343 which has been gifted to me by a benevolent cousin. I have now got the Q-Accoustics Concepts 20 speakers along with the same centers now. Looking for the recommendation for Subs & surrounds so that I could make an informed decision on the same. Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Mridul

For surrounds go for q-acoustics. Tell more about your room and budget to suggest a subwoofer.

Ok so I assume you are going to place the sub in the front next to the tv. Do have have space to go duals or only one? But first what is your budget ?

 

[mridulrajk]

Yes, placement of sub would be next to the TV. No space for Duals. The idea is to get a good one for the long term. I am willing to go for a good one given the recommendations. Pricier the recommendations, that delayed maybe my purchasing or will look around in classified up here. This is not for purchase right now as I have already put some into getting new speakers so far. Lets say a ball park figure of 50k for now.

Ok since you are going for a single sub a big and powerful sub will be a wise choice. There is a Klipsch 15inch for sale by FM @Vivek Batra you may have to extend your budget but it is a good deal. If you want to restrict to 50k you have 12 inches available from Polk, Bic America, Taga harmony, mission, Wharfedale. I am selling my xtz 10.17 which is 10 months old which will easily blow the subs I have mentioned in 50k bracket. It is still in warranty and i know the dealers very well who can provide good support. Do your research and short list a good sub as it is very important.

SOLD - XTZ 10.17 The best subwoofer you can buy for 55k

Dear FMs Selling my Matte Black XTZ 10.17. It is still in warranty and bill available. For FMs in Chennai welcome to audition at my place. Selling price is 55K and I have quoted very reasonably as the best offer you can get is 65K for a brand new sub which has a mrp of 77k. Can ship at buyers...

I would recommend to stick to Q Acoustics Concept 20 for surrounds as well for timber matching and smooth surround effects.

Subwoofer can be from a different brands - evaluate SVS, XTZ as well. I wouldn't recommend Polk subwoofers.

You may talk to Rupesh (The Home Cinema, Ecity, 8296500666) they deal with SVS, XTZ, Q Acoustics, Polk, KEF, Taga, Mission etc.

Cool, thanks for the recommendations. So as far as the surrounds are considered what I am hearing is to stick to same as fronts LR speakers?

Defnetly as others have mentioned, surrounds as that of mains is very good one.. I have been using 5 identical speakers for bed channels, and like it very much..

Subwoofers can be of your choice & budget, regardless of brand..
