Marantz SR4002/4003 would be a better buy at around 25K with warranty or 20K without warranty.

Whats the speaker budget? The JBL SCS200 at 23K looks like a good deal, or if you can shell out some more ask TH about his KEF.

:ashamed: I need to look at the speakers first even before there price so that they can fit into the room. Ok I like those JBL. Who is TH?

Besides, entry level receivers from Yamaha and Onkyo - sucks! Period. No matter what speakers you're willing to pair with it and what ears you've got.

I've seen entry-level stuff from Pioneer, Marantz & HK - they've got some good receivers at that range.

@ LT saw DSE 5.1 yesterday at Croma for around 15k and sounded nice (though am not an audiophile). In Krome mall they have set it up to a Yamaha receiver so you can go there and try, those looked good for 15k

Ok so where do I get Marantz in Pune/Mumbai? Alfa?

Hey, if you can increase ur budget a little go for yamaha 563. I think 463 lacks in 24bbit/96khz and upwards processing. With HDMI blu ray becoming nor better to stick with a fully equipped reciever like yamaha 565 and/or anything from Onkyo for movies

Upwards processing in terms of higher resolutions? Nope, I dont need the amplifier for that, mine HTPC will take care of that. I am interested in the amplifier for the sound primarily and thats it.

Ok, folks, I am maxing at 80k for the whole audio stuff. So can u recommend me amplifier along with speakers. Jees I guess I am asking too much.


Thanks

Get a Denon 1610 + KEF KHT1005s. Should fit right in.

No problem, 24/96 khz works nice and is enough for another two years as these higher resolution become norm.:clap:

The combination tech head pointed is really nice for the budget, especially the KEF's are a nice package.

Hey, I been to Croma this evening and saw the DSE 5.1 speakers. receiver was not connected, will go tomorrow and update you all. Looks good though for 15K
