Recommendation for buying HT, budget: max 45K
Hello all,
This is Hari from Bangalore. I am new to this forum.
I need a recommendation for Speakers and AVR.
a) Budget - Max 45K
b) Listening tastes - All kinds of music, from pure Carnatic to Heavy Metal
c) Listening area - 16*12 size room. Minimalistic room. Vitrified flooring. Distance from couch ~8-10 feet.
d) Systems selected-Nil
e) Where do you Live - Bangalore
Purpose - Music 70% Movies 30%.
My questions (some of them might be noob'ish, please bear with them):
1. Should I look for a 5.1 setup or would a 2.0 setup serve the purpose?
2. I would like to wirelessly stream music from my PC to the AVR. Do I have look for an AVR which supports that?
3. I was thinking that I can put around 25K for the speakers and the rest for the AVR. Is this ok?
4. I had searched this forum and found that the Polk Audio RM705 is decent enough and comes within 25K. Any opinions?
5. My DVD player (Philips 5996K) supports hdmi out, should I be using that to connect it to the AVR? If I am playing MP3/AVi through USB, will the HDMI connection alone suffice?
6. My PC supports HDMI out (through ATI HD4850 Graphics card), can I use it to interface with the AVR ? I may not be using this much though.
Thanks in advance.
