Hi All
I was doing some research on setting up a Home Theater system and stumbled upon this forum. This is certainly a God-Send for Indian music lovers.
I am a novice in this area and I am looking for some help from the experts here.
Objective:- To set up a Home Theatre System which also plays exceptionally good Music. I want to do this in multiple phases so that I can spread out the expenses.
Uses:- My Movie to Music ratio is 50:50. My taste in Music is purely western but spans across genres (I.e. Pop, Rock, Metal and occasionally even classical). My source of music would primarily be from an bipod (i.e. iTouch)
Budget for Phase I :- Rs 30,000/-
Objective for Phase I - Most of my budget would go towards the Speakers. Looking at various posts on this forum I can see Waferdale Diamond series seem to be a good choice. The next priority for phase I would be a good DVD player. I would make-do with an average AV receiver for Phase I.
In subsequent phases I would upgrade the AV Receiver.
Questions:-
1. What would be a budget 5.1 Channel Receiver I can opt for. Would Norge be a good choice??
2. Any other options other than waferdale that is worth considering for this budget? I would be auditioning a few more. Any suggestions are welcome.
3. Since I would be using the setup to listen to music as well does it make sense to invest in a separate stereo amplifier?? i.e. Are 5.1 AV Receivers comparable to 2 channel stereo amplifier for music. Any comments??
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks and Regards
David
