Hi Folks,
Request to recommend for a HT setup.
This may be a 30:70, movies:music requirement. My budget is 30K now (+3k max). (for AVR + 5.1 speakers + interconnects). This is one time investment, so will not be changing the source until its dead!! No upgrades (if i go for option 1) too.
Iam not looking for sony, philips, samsung or similar. Some how these are not of interests to me. And to add atleast for quite sometime i will not be upgrading my tv either!
One of my long standing desire is to own a Denon stuff. Had read much reviews in this forum and elsewhere about Denon products. I also find reasonable good reviews on 1709 too.
Looking for floor standers if budget fits in. Else i can go for option 2 as per your recommendation.
Room size: apprx 187 sqft (includes dining area) (Its an apartment with pathway to bedrooms, kitchen, balcony)
Option 1:
Denon 1709 + Jamo 406 5.1 package (or any similar 5.1 package)
Option 2:
Denon 1709 + any 2.0 setup and later expand to 5.1
Denon 1709 go with Mission 34i FS? (and later add center, surround etc)
Option 3:
Any other recommended stuff by all you folks (If Denon does not fit in, you can go in for other AVR in same price range)
Earlier i did see Denon 15xx, 16xx, 17xx retailing for apprx 25-30000+ and now i can see Denon AVR-1709 7.1-Channel Multi-Zone Home Theater Receiver is retailing for apprx 17000 Rs with 2 yr warranty and 1609 should be less than this (i have not read any reviews on 1609 though!!). In US i could see 1709 goes for apprx $200. Is it a good buy?
Ofcourse not-to-leave-alone are the interconnects. I shall go with MX cables the cheapest (and probably best in its category) as mentioned in the forum.
TV: Sony LCD 26"
Planned: Pioneer DV410 or 600
Place: Chennai
Are there dealers/service centers in chennai for Denon (and for the speakers i buy - speakers which you recommend)? Or i buy them in bangalore and for any service i need to come back to bangalore?!!!
Thanks
