Guys one of the 5.1s in my house is conking off, its a Yamaha basic 5.1. I want a similar basic 5.1 below 30k. Obviously choices are Onkyo 3500 or Yamaha 296, any others? I know for movies both will be good, but what about music? I like and need a lot of bass. Also are any of these airplay compatible? Do the receivers have an ethernet slot? |

And no, they are not network capable. The Onkyo can be hooked up with an iPod etc from the front panel USB, not the Yammy. |

How about this Denon guys ? It is less than 30k too. B & T, is it comparable to the Onkyo ? Junglee.com: Denon - AVR 1612 - AV Receiver or even this one Marantz NR1602 review | from TechRadar's expert reviews of Receivers |

Those are just AV receivers, I'm talking about a full 5.1 system. |

Now I understand there won't be much bass with any of these, but comparatively in the budget, which one would be better for my type of music? |

??? I meant that he could use the Airport Express to stream music wirelessly to any amp that he chooses to buy, just like he would to an Airplay compatible receiver. None I can think of, besides the Pioneer Todoroki. Most HTiBs will have a 6-8" bass driver with 60-100W amplifiers. And powerful subs are very expensive. How big is the room though? |

Don't want to spend much on this system, 30k tops. |

And my Ipad would be the remote, with the remote app. So Deralte is right :p |

Remote for what? The receiver is not a network receiver, so no chance of controlling that. Don't tell me you'll remotely control an iPod that is anyway running wirelessly, with an iPad! :confused: |

Not an ipod. The music is all on my desktop, so I would be controlling that with an ipad :D |

Finally took the plunge for my HT setup. This setup will be used 95% for movies, hence my decision was based on the movies experience.... |

Took a look at a basic level Home Theater system today. A Yamaha. Has anyone used this model? YHT-196 - Yamaha - India |

Try the Yamaha YHT-296. It's pretty compact and I liked the demo! Would come around 31-32K though. |

After months of googling and reading through forums, i had three options to choose from following HTIBs: Onkyo Hts3400 (Price quoted 23900/24000/24999) Yamaha YHT 296 (Price quoted 35000/32000) Denon DHT 1312XP (price quoted 30000/31900) Yamaha YHT 296: Hypercity was selling YHT 294 at 24990. But YHT 296 was not available. Other 3 stores listed in yamaha site had stock but they were not willing to negotiate below 32000. Demo'ed YHT 294, Speakers were let down. Yet to set it up, will post my feedback once i install it. |
