OK… this is my first post in this website..so if I am at a wrong section please move this to the right one.
(My computer knowledge is limited and I will try to keep up with you folks.)
I am trying to connect some of the audio/ video components in my house thru an AV receiver, that I am planning to buy in another three months. I plan to connect the following (some I have and some I do not have yet)
1. TV (right now I am still using the CRT one); probably will get a 32 incher from LG.
2. DTH Set top box (Airtel – not a HD one)
3. DVD player (Philips DVP 3588) Philips - DVD player with HDMI and USB DVP3588/94 - DVD Players - Blu-ray and DVD - Sound and vision
4. A set of good 5.1 Speakers…. Need to get that.. thinking about JBL
5. HTPC……Need to get this one too…really encouraged to see the following guide.. http://www.techenclave.com/guides-and-tutorials/full-guide-build-cheap-powerful-htpc-181179.html now I know what to do with the components of my current PC (1.80 GHz AMD Athlon 64/ MS-7093/ 1GB – 4 years old)
6. Playstation 3 (with move)….This is coming in Feb next year.
Let’s talk about the AV receiver first. I have a ‘L’ shaped living room (typical of any small 1BHk in Mumbai
). The TV and receiver/ Speaker would be set in an area of 7.5 feet by 8.5 feet (64 sq feet), whereas the total room area is about 87 sq feet. Just adjacent to the place where we sit for watching TV, is a room of 100 sq feet.
Important thing first.. I need to keep the budget of AV receiver and Speaker set at 30K (definitely under 35K)
I had initially thought about Yamaha HTiB YHT-392. This is available at around 30K. Product Details | YAMAHA Music India Pvt. Ltd.
However after the demo at Hypercity, I felt that the sound was cracking at higher volume. Basically I was highly let down by the sound quality.:no:
In comparison Harman Kardaon (cinesystem 140) with JBL speakers sounded great. However the model included AVR 133 which did not have HDMI. (However the recently launched model 134 has that India JBL). However the treble was a bit too high for my liking. Plus I did not like the look of the Woofer.
The India JBL Cinesystem 200 sounded better due to the dual drive satellite speaks (most probably). It has the same woofer though.
So folks, in short, please let me have your advice on choosing the AVR and set of speakers within my budget/ room size and the suitable for the equipments that I plan to hook up. Please let me know if I need to have a plan to hook up anything else. I am going to use this for music and movies/ TV. :S
Please remember to mention the place in Mumbai where I might get the stuff (at great discounts, obviously!!)
Dear Moderators please feel free to edit this post if I have blabbered too much. :thanx:
