Searching for better HT system....

I'm searching for good combo of DVD player + HT system. The budget for the whole combo is Rs.25000/- to Rs.30000/-. (For DVD player - max Rs.5000/-).

From the early postings, found out that Onkyo HT570 is good choice. But for the price range of US$400 - US$500, can I get sets (HT) with performance and configuration better than this?

And next thing, where can we purchase it - either in India or in US with respect to performance? When going for onkyo kind of brands, do they have assembling unit here in India? If so, how about the performance difference between US/Gulf and here for the same model?

Can we get good deal if we purchase HT in gulf countries? And also, please throw some light on DVD players also.
