Need an HT. Been using my Altec Lansing MX5021 for a long time now. Checked and checked and someone suggested to get Onkyo HT-S5400. Is it a good choice? Or there are better options available at the price point? Please suggest.
Its a good option if you plan to upgrade the sub at some point. Else the 3400 is a sweet deal. You can also look at the 5405 which is 5.1 instead of 7.1(5400). Both have Hd audio decoding and are 3d capable afaik.
Mind you the subwoofers and in general the speakers that come with these are not so great. In fact the 3400s passive sub sounds a wee bit better too,ymmv.
+1 To Sound Factor. Talk to Sighai over there, (A dude with oriental features), he knows the stuff well, will let you audition to your hearts content and you can negotiate with him as well.
