Speakers auditioned Help needed

[mamidir]

Hi Every one
I am new to this forum but have been reading posts from long time.....
Guys i have a dedicated room for home theatre

Room 1 : 15*14 (square room with a window on right side) its in the 1st floor
Room 2 : 14*11(rectangular room but very small) its in top floor (it wouldn't disturb any 1 even if i play at loud volumes
Please suggest me which room is better
The following are advice i need from you guys.
Confused as of 5.1 or 7.1
MY budget is : 5.1 +AVR = 1.5 lakh - max 2 lakh
I thought it would be good if just do the wiring for 7.1 and leave it after use.

SPEAKERS AUDITIONED(My req is for 50%music EDM(good bass),movies 50%)
1) polk [pro fx] : RTIa7, TSX 440 ,TSX330
Just liked it for movies, But for music its kind of ok not that great(i tested it using FLAC file) Spend about more than 1 hour in all pro fx in mumbai, bangalore and hyderabad
2) B&W 684 : Hyped so much about it that i compare everything to it, Its very expensive and buying entry level stuff from B&w for such a price is wasting ur money (great for trance)
3) Klipsch: auditioned RF 62, 82 at cine bels bangalore
i was just wowed but RF 62 when i just played few house tracks, I bass was too good and initially i asked him where is the sub he said u are just listening to FLoor standing only.
But I read posts about it saying its harsh... But i really tell u when he asked me to come in for showing me RF 82 he played some action scenes it was too harsh i couldn't listen it for 5 min.
RF62: great for music i can say awesome, But for movies harshness can be found (Please suggest me a receiver for this and alternate centre and surrounds from different brand
4)PSB: T5,T6 bright
5) Paradigm : monitor 9 slightly bright and no bass at all i auditioned it from mumbai place called DEN, he played sky fall scene i could literally feel any thing.
6) Focal : Bright and heavy sound
7) wharfedale : 10.6 not auditioned( i heard it good for music but not sure for EDM genre and action packed movie scenes
155 floor standing speakers : new version i am not sure about it because

10.6 : costs approx 62 k
100 SERIES 155 cost : 50k( its even less than 10.5 diamond)
i wonder if 155 has new kevlar cones how come it can be so cheap

AV Receivers:
1]denon x1100( price 42k ) : 7.1 wireless capability but around 70-80 per channel
2) marantz : 5008 i guess
Basically i need a receivernthat display's cover art of music played , It should be 7.1

Acoustics: I enquired rock wool for 1000 rs a bundle ( 12 pieces)
going to hire a carpenter and make frames with black fabric

Seating : 14*11 room not sure how many recliner can fit, Suggest me sleek recliners

Screen: 110 inch 16:9 please suggest best within 30k max(projector is Benq 1070)
Note:i know all dealers get speakers and receivers from grey market and just give u 1 year warranty... cheap tricks played by them

please suggest me where can i buy 684 B&w, klipsch rf62 from grey at a lesser price.

ALL prices are after discount and vat
EX: Klipsch RF 62 : quoted 82k cine bels, 72k at infibeam.com and dhaamal.com

20 B&W 684 : quoted 1.07 after discount and vat at Audiovsion in mumbai,
95k by beats 99 mumbai, 97k by vector systems hyd

Hi all

This saturday i auditioned few more speakers

wharfedale 155 floor standing speakers for 55k at Ht store
i am was really disappointed its not at all good

wharfedale 10.6 : much better than 155 but costing 62k for old version..
its was good but not to good for house and trance music......
he played a movie but i didn't feel any effect that i am watching movie in HT
10.6 is very tight but doesn't go too loud
the avr he was using is denon 2000
overall: 6/10

Energy cf 50: was good, it was really loud i enjoyed the movie
but i think its kind of bright
please help me out whether energy is good
but for me overall 7/10

Include Dali too in your auditions. Denon X1000 might be a little less powerful for floor standers. What is the budget?. Not looking at any sub woofers yet?
Good luck on your search. The search experience is very interesting too.

 

[mamidir]

my budget is 1.5 lakhs for 5.1 and receiver

Dali zensor : where to audition it

Subwoofer: velodyne impact 10

Please suggest me if energy cf 50 is good (its pretty old around 4 years ago any new models recently

I like the room 2 because of dimensions. The standing waves will not be much of a problem I hope (the ceiling height is not mentioned in either of the rooms).

For good bass response, keep a part of your budget for Sub/Subs also.

For acoustics, I suggest doing it after you have identified the potential problems. Buying and installing acoustic treatment before getting the system is useful if you are copying another system (including room) exactly or have done a simulation on computer.

Thanks shivam for your advice

for sub i thought of velodyne impact 10 or should i go with eq max 10
whats the difference
Please suggest me towers for 50% & movies and 50% music (mainly house music)
i liked energy but its too old model cf 50 any alternative

Also listen to monitor audio. Their silver series is very good. I had the older RX6 and though have upgraded since, I miss them . You can try them at audio people in jubilee hills.

Help me guys need your valuable suggestions

I really like focal 714 what do you think about it and which receiver is needed

 

[bhargavk]

if you need good bass and service then go straight to JBL.
If you need to have a different then go for Other brands.
Please take care about the budget.
