Hi All,
Just joined and this is my first post here.
Been wanting to invest in a Home Theater setup for a while now.
I had a Sony 5.1 HT which I had bought back in 2006 and it served me very well. Gave it away few years ago since it had no HDMI or USB ports and it pretty much became obsolete.
Now I am looking to get a HT setup for my living room and a friend suggested I get in touch with a person that can help.
Here is what he recommended:
Option-1:
Option-2:
Unfortunately both these above options are out of my budget.
Apparently, according to the gentleman I am conversing with for this HT system, the pricing is similar to the Jamo speaker configuration.
I have asked Cinebels to share the prices for their Jamo Home Cinema Systems (HCS). Link to two models on their website - https://www.cinebels.com/jamo/speakers-hcs
Alternatively, I was suggested to go with Taga Harmony S607 5.0 (link) which are within my budget (pricing below). The Taga Harmony S607 will be coupled with the Denon x250BT amp and the JBL A100P subwoofer (150W RMS)
Alternative to the Taga 607 5.0 is the TAV-507 5.0, only difference being latter (507) has 5.25" drivers for the mid range and bass driver on the floor standing front speakers. The 607 has 6" drivers and costs 7k more. Is there a noticeable difference in this? If not, the difference of 7k which I can save does matter. I don't have a smart TV and currently use Chromecast, but was recommended to get the Amazon Firestick.
Considering that this will be installed in the living room (layout image below) what would you suggest?
- Do I really need floor standing front speakers or should I go with bookshelves (JBL A-130) in the front and save some money? I presume the difference in sound will be quite a bit considering the no. of drivers and the size. Please correct my presumption if I am wrong.
- The person was saying the Taga's are good for movies, only slightly lesser in terms of performance compared to JBL. I have a JBL 2.0 soundbar (30W) which is very good for its size. I would prefer to sample the sound from the Taga's but unable to find them anywhere (only sold online). This is pretty much within my budget. Would you recommend the Taga's? Hadn't heard of this brand until I started this search few weeks ago. I will use this setup to watch movies and listen to music (80's rock and metal).
- Also, I understand the Denon AVR x550BT has a USB port to play content which the 250BT does not have. I have a huge collection of movies on a HDD, how do I play them if I get the 250BT?
- Since there are pretty much no demo's available for Taga, I am posting this thread.
Apologies for the long post and so many questions. I'm quite lost and any help on this is highly appreciated. Many thanks to the experts here in advance.
