Experts/Gurus,
I'm building a new home which is in the finishing stages. I need your inputs on buying a HT. This is my first experience in buying HOME audio. Here are a few details/questions
Living room, space not shared but has open kitchen + dining . size of living room is about 20x20. Pictures are attached.
Projector was initially not planned but got added at later stages making the plan look a bit quirky. Btw, I bought tw6600 and liberty (indian make, not grandview) motorised screen.
My listening is mostly blues,reggae,bollywood,classical rock and regional.In short, pretty much everything except hip hop/trance/house
5.1/2 simply because i dont have wires run for 7.1.
Acoustically, the area is pretty poor as it has large area open to it. and the roof is ( floor to false cieling ) is 12 ft. there is large ventilator at the roof which can be seen in the pics. have used decent quality wiring. TV-music usage will be 70:30
Budget - 1 - 1.5L inc reciever.
Upon casual browsing/research/reviews and talking to a few, Diamond 230 FS,220 centre and surrounds from the same series looked good for me. I did go thru hifimart deals as well.
Questions
Given the drawbacks, does it make sense to invest in above average/mid level Music system . I am looking at cost to benefit ratio. Will i able to reap in what it has to offer.
Alternatively please suggest some set ups. I'm OK with buying in pieces or picking up everything at once. I love good speakers. SQ is my priority.
Someone is flying from US. I have reserved 5 kilos of baggage. Please suggest me a good AVR which is compatible with the rest of the components
Cheers
