Hello,
My friend needs a suggestion for buying a good Home Theater Package.
I have auditioned Denon AV Rcv. and its too costly and having A.S.S issues in Kolkata .

Can you please suggest me a System ...

Using Purpose

To play games,
To watch Movies
To listen Music


Thanks

For that kind of money stick with the Onkyo HT-S 3500.

Denon has absolutely no ASS issues in Kolkata , I own a couple of Denon Kits. No issues trust me. They are built like Tanks,anyways. You have a authorised dealer in Dover Lane!!!

Also, I suggested him HT 3500 too.

Also look for Yamaha 298. Yamaha has more service centers than Denon. Denon 1312XP is close to 30K.

Please avoid Yamaha, I have auditionew it and they are not so good.
Onkyo is a good option

Yamaha HTiBs not in the same league as the Onkyo. Better avoided.

Ya, really i found Onkyo of much Higher grade at Speaker systems.
I am currently using it and its really a nice VFM.

A Bit Off Topic-

I am thinking to sell my current system and replace with Denon AvR and Onkyo SPeakers, what do you think ?

Thanks
