Please Guide Me in Setting Up My First Ever Home Theater System

After discussing so much in this forum you have settled for Bose. It is surprising. Have you auditioned this and found to be better than competition?

Are you sure of the AVR power consumption? 120W seems pretty low.

Sonodyne, Yamaha, Denon and Bose - these were tested. Out of 4, we choose Bose.

Sorry, it is 260 Watt.

Considering my room, Yamaha personnel suggested me 581 although I considered 681 in the beginning. According to him, I cant fully utilise 681 considering my room (25 x 9.6 x 10 = L x W x H in feet).

How did you get to that shortlist? Was it the dealer?
Yamaha and Denon are not known for their speakers. Sonodyne might be slightly better. Of course, Bose would be best among those.
If you still can, listen to Dali, Boston Acoustics and also Morel Soundspot satellite setup.
You could also check out Energy, Mission, etc.

For AVRs, US specs are quite often slightly different from India. So go by what's in your manual.

Don't go blindly by what the sales persons say.
100-150 watt per channel while driving 5 channels is a lot and the receivers you are looking at won't pump that.

Completely agreed. The way these receivers are being rated is quite debatable. Most are rated at 2 or even 1 channel driven at 4 or 6 ohms with high distortion levels. So while driving 5 or 7 channels the usable power output drops drastically.
Refer this video for some quick "gyan" on AVR power ratings and how they are fudged.

Thanks for the video. Its really hard to believe that the AVR companies are inflating the watt rating, but its true fact.

Today, Yamaha CC told me that RX V581 has 600 watt max power it can draw in wordt case scenario.

I am thinking of buying Zidoo x10. Would it be better than Zappiti flag ship player?Actually, I am in dilemma between Zidoo x10 and Zapppiti's top model.

I actually need a 15 meter 4K HDMI 2.0 cable to connect AVR to Projector. What cable should I buy?

I am getting onlyMX 3579E 15 meter HDMI Cable here. Honeywell doesn't produce 15 meter cable. other than these 2, I dont know any brand.

Please suggest branded 4K HDMI 15 meter long cable in decent price.
