Hi Experts,
I am newbie to this forum. I need your help in my HT buying decision. I am looking for a good HT setup around 20 K, with good connectivity options and decent audio quality.
Out of given options[Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Philips], I zeroed on Onkyo. Initially thinking of its HT 3100 which was coming around 19 K last year, now 21.5 K. But yesterday had a demo of its HT S3200, this one seems to be better(with things like Audyssey options etc), but costs around 25 K. Though the dealer also suggested one more option with Onkyo 304 AV, Onkyo powered Sub and Pure Acoustics speaktes, which seems to sound even better, but this costs around 27 K.
I also came across with an ad in Bangalore, for Pioneer HT setups(with tall boy speaker options), sounds reasonably priced but never had a chance to listen to any of them, so not sure about their quality.
So am simply puzzled now. Can you guys please help me to figure out a better deal out of all these?
