Firstly, I would like to begin this review by thanking all the forum members for helping me with their inputs and views towards my decision.
I had a budget of approx 75,000 for my home theatre. Instead of running into what all I had shortlisted , I will go in to my review . Also, I ended up buying the above mentioned setup thanks to my relative purchasing it for me in Dubai and hence I ended up paying only half of what I would have to pay here in India for the same setup.
Review : Let me begin with the amp, I setup my amp with the Sony W700B , PS3 and Tata sky HD box. I was able to set it up easily to the speakers thanks to the suggestions from the members. Next I ran the YPAO and that was super.
My relative also brought for me the audio cables with banana plugs,HDMI wire and RAC cable for the sub.
I first want to setup my amp with the wifi connection at home and it was a very simple and easy setup. Browsing the RADIO stations online via Airplay was a breeze .I also went to link my andriod phone and tablet to the amp give me easy access and I have actually stopped using the physical remote.
Note : I had to setup the tablet and phone manually to my ip settings via the app on play store. For some reason the app was not picking up the amp automatically but its not a big deal.
I had first decided to play music as I played the following tracks and I also recommend the same : Lootera from Zinda, Animals by Martix Garrix, Pathaka kuddi from Highway, Walk of Life by Dire Straits.
I was totally sold on the first track I played.I am an amatuer so cant give a technical review but as someone who has a decent ear for music, I totally loved the sound and had a huge smile as I was totally content with my decision.
I dont like loud music and I neither turn up the volume high. I wanted clear sounds with good bass (not too heavy) and this system was giving me exactly what I wanted.
Next I went on to listen to the TV (Tatasky) and FM radio and both again sounded great. Radio fm infact also sounds great.
Now coming to the movies, I had planned to always play the following :
Transformers (part2) - I have a blue ray I played via the PS3, Sherlock Holmes - Game of Shadows (via wifi through my comp), The Babadook (wifi through the comp), Adventures of Tintin (wifi through the comp).
These files are movies I have downloaded in blue ray format and each movie looked and sounded amazing. Every sound - the bullets,cars,doors slamming was just mind blowing.
The Babadook is a horror film and I really suggest this movie as a must try on your home theatre as it has all the right sounds to test and indicate the power of your home theatre.
I want to sumarise in a single line - This amp and speakers are a great buy and will not dissapoint.
I had read that the woofer does not have a lot of bass but that is exactly what I wanted. I have kept the bass at just half on the dial and it suits me perfectly.I keep changing the sound levels at the speakers in the rear as per what I am watching. For music it is lower but for movies I increase it.
In the end , I will please suggest that do listen to the speakers that you want to buy. I might be wrong but generally all amps at the budget I had (approx 30,000) more or less will be good and on par in all brands.
The setup (amp - 49,000 and speakers - 42,000 ) ended up costing me 50% cheaper since I got it from Dubai. No warranty is the risk I took and luckily all ended up working fine. Plus customs was not an issue at all so no extra charge. Cables and setup I did with the help of my father in law and brother in law and that too was very simple.
Will post pictures soon
