Pioneer HTP-072 - Worth it?

[shashankm]

Hi guys,

I am planning to get a HTiB system within the budget of 30K.
Pioneer HTP072 has great specs on paper, haven't demoed it though, and is well within my budget.

My question:

Is there any red-herring I should pay attentions to? Any shortcomes to this model?

Or anything else you may want to suggest? Please do.

Thanks

I have used HTP-071 and it was a very good entry level HTIB which sounded great. Only downside of this system is passive sub-woofer. Try Onkyo HT-S3500 its almost the same budget.

Hi,
Much thanks for reply. How was the sound of HTP071? I am slightly more biased towards punchier bass at low volume levels and yet an overall nice balanced sound?
