c'mon!! i know uttering the word sony was the biggest mistake :p..

well i checked a jamo 5.0 setup, the S416 HCS3. Has anyone tried these? and the dealer gave an option of a sub 200 and a teac avr-ag d8800 reciever. All these for Rs.44900. Otherwise without the sub its Rs. 34,990 and incl of reciever of course. Please help me out on this one. S 41

wait for chaos to get back to blore :p

and all i say is trust your ears and nothing else.. after hearing a few systems i think you should be able to judge now

also skip the sub for now and add it later if you feel that you need more bass

Those Jamos are way better than anything else we are discussing here... atleast for HT. Go check them out.

yea i dont think they ship orders outside mumbai....but if you do like any system, you ask for that model number in any electronics shop and listen how it sounds.....

i guess onkyo, denon, harman kardon should be better quality than sony and philips....
