Suggestions / Recommendations requested for a 5.1 system - budget 15K

[moshel]

Friends,

Can you please suggest me a 5.1 active speaker system....basically what are the options alongside the logitech Z906.

Budget :15K...may be able to extend to 17-18K
Usage : mostly movies. Casual gaming (PS3). no music
Source : PS3, Media player

I have shortlisted following systems:

Philips HTS 3541.....good on connectivity, low on sound..only 300 w
Philips HTS 5520.....Ok on connectivity, big on sound....850 w (Both these Philips systems have acceptable sound quality for me. The only difference I noticed between the two is the loudness)
Logitech Z906....?????? how is it for movies? is 500w enough sound? (if it helps, my room size is 14 x 10), unfortunately there is no place I can audition these in Ahmedabad.

Do I have any more options????

Don't care about DVD / Blu ray player. Only speaker system is also fine with me.

Thanks in advance.
Moshel

Go for Onkyo HTS-3300, you may get it at some reliance digital outlet.
If you can stretch your budget go for HTS 3400. There are plenty of threads on ONKYO HT review, price etc available in this forum.

+1 for Onkyo... good bang for buck and the SQ is not too bad.

I finally bought Onkyo HTS 3300 from Reliance Digital for 22K. Got HDMI Cable and Coaxial cable free with it.

Now while installing, I am stuck. The surround speaker cables do not reach till the back of the room. Actually the left surround only. The right one might reach.

What can I do now? where will i get another cable? Approx. what will be the damage (monetary)?
