Interesting interesting read...

I also noticed that none of the females members of the db commented on the tech stuff, is that a stereotype of some sort? I hope not! :lol:

Allright, Crtl bhai...after your pareshani, I did some research:

General Knowledge & Research

http://www.ecoustics.com/Home/Home_Thea ... ter_Links/

Compare systems and prices (US)

http://www.dealtime.com/xGS-home_theatre_system

It does exist! A Home Theater Magazine

Hope this helps & Good Luck,

Jaan

i dont think its coz of techie stuff...i have noticed that females are usually not interested in things like home theaters, audio/video systems etc. its always the males who take gr8 pride in owning things like these and love showing em off too...

in my family itself only my dad, uncle and I are mad abt these things. my wife n mom dont care much abt it. all i get frm them is "oh! is it?" or "great!"

Nope definetly not.The amps as big as a CPU(Thats the only prob,its too huge).But he got it in 2000,so maybe they are available in India and the size might be smaller.

Pioneer is good, but it is not so great in HT. Their main area is Car Audio :lol:

Their car audio systems are good but theirs amps and players are really good too.But then their speakers suck.

latest news: i have postponed any purchase by a month! instead of buying something in a hurry, i plan to wait a month more so that i may be able to stretch my budget n buy the best i can afford. in the meantime i plan to make my living room "Home-Theater enabled" by installing conduits for surround spkr wires and if possible have sound absorption material on walls etc till whatever level possible!

I saw a show on TV, dont remember which channel. On that they covered the wall with 'kabutar jaali', plastered on top of it with clay and embedded clay diyas in wet plaster.

That room had a door without shutters and ventilator, they closed that too. Basically made it a closed room. That gave good sound effects.
