Hi everyone,
i am a big big audio buff...but since i just have started earning money and hence have a limited budget of 20000

, i dunno if i can get a decent system to start with. I have already seen philips LX600, but guess that would be a little low in power. What about I-sound HTS? I have seen it on Ebay.in and the specs look interesting. What about the chinese and japanese systems like Perx? Again, i might stretch my budget to 25k , if i get good value for money , but cant afford any more than that.

Could u guys suggest me some brands?

thanks & regards

Well, thanks a lot Abhi,
But i googled for JBL Excsite , but couldnt find any results.I even visited JBL's site , and i couldnt find any reference to the model you have specified. Could you send me any info regarding the package, like wattage, features ?
Currently my posting is in Bangalore.

thanks & regards

hey sivaranjan,

if 25k is ur budget then blindly go in for the onkyo ht-s570.its one helluva package for the price range.dont even think of buying any phillips or sony dvd cum amp and speakers package.i myself am looking out to buy HTS and tried and tested all the smaller brands.the final conclusion i went for was onkyo.its just superb for the price.u can even further upgrade the speakers keeping the amp.the amp is a real good one its even got a,b speakers selector and u can bargain the price to even 25k though price being listed at 28k.....

Hi Sam,
Have you ever imported any electronics through online purchases? For eg Ebay or like you mention Onkyo.com? Does one face any hassles from customs department etc? I've been browsing ebay.com a lot and was wondering if its a good idea to buy online.

hi,

i live in new jersey, so i don't know much but i don't thinks customs should a problem, the point is you should know somebody who can buy system for you and then send it across, although courier charges would be damn high... so you also need sombody to carry it for you...

hi,

even i tried importing an onkyo- its kinda difficult-
the issues i found were
1- they dont accept non US issued credit cards-
2-customs are gonna be a hassle-around 35%
3-US warranty does not work in india-
4-the issue of US 110v and india 220v-

still US turns out to be the cheapest- and if yu can some one to carry back it for yu - then u are the king-
- Also if somein buying from the US try out multi brand online stores-

the other "abroad" option is singapore-hongkong etc - the best par is yu get an asian product so no voltage issues-i have doing my research for 4 months now- can provide details of cheapest places etc if needed-

hy

I know we are in the stereosection but I have to make a comment on this one:

u can even further upgrade the speakers keeping the amp.the amp is a real good one its even got a,b speakers selector

I really doubt this... sure it's got a,b and speaker selector, but these hts-included amps are normally made for "their" speakers. maybe with some small shelfs, but try updating your system with some real speakers and you will be forced to buy a new amp..

Hi Edges
I have seen Onkyo HT-s570, its definately an awesome system.But i am not sure if it comes around 25k. I had called up Modern World in bangalore and they say the package is priced at 30k. Do you know any other dealers in bangalore who can get me a good quote?

thanks & regards

Hey,
I bought ONKYO ht 570 from modern world it cost me 33k. System is fantastic, easy to wire and use.

Even if you go to ONKYO showroom, they get the item from Modern world.

Hence suggest go to Modern and get Demo first.

enjoy.......

All,
Im currently stuck choosing between a low end philips HTR 5000, a onkyo HT -570 and logitech z-5500 systems.
While the logitech system is a 5.1 computer speaker system it seems to have a very good mini reciever, great features and amazing reviews. Its costing me around 20K right now.
The onkyo is on sale for around 27K and the philips for around 13K, any suggestions ?

i would say the onkyo -
also theres a sony 5.1 receiver for 15k
same price you can buy a yamaha 5.1 for 14k

http://www.sonyindia...odelNumber=STR-DE497
-can check that out and buy sony speakers , centre + surround

http://www.sonyindia...modelNumber=SS-CR250
for 3500/-

http://www.sonyindia...modelNumber=SS-SR351
fronts for 2x1500/-

total -15+3.5+3=21.5k

and a sub-

http://www.sonyindia...modelNumber=SA-WM500
for 11500/-

can add the subwoofer later also-

If you are open to get Sony, you can also try out DAV-DZ200. It is a Home Theater System without receiver. It has a player capable of playing SACD/DVDA/DVD/Mp3/ACD/...and all other formats + 2 fronts + 2 surrounds + 1 center + 1 sub...Although I did not like it much, you can try it out at Sony World. It is priced at 24,990/-
