Dear Mr. X,
I do not know your name, can you please enlighten us all?
It was just yesterday that I was standing at another music shop, and the owner assured me, that the Bengali people have the best possible knowledge of sound.
Reading above, that you are a Bengali gentleman yourself, helped me gain confidence.
Ok, I am a 36 yr old businessman from Delhi, I hate why that word sounds like I am an uncle.
I just recently developed a desire to buy a decent quality audio system, and like you, went scrounging around Delhi's music system sellers, ebay, and God knows where else.
I looked at Yamaha and liked Marantz more for the receievers, I listened to Marantz and liked Harman Kardon more, in the end, I am confused.
The confusion is greater in speakers, I listened to JBL and liked Jamo more, I listened to Jamo and somebody played me something on a Vienna Accoustic floor mounts, yet again confused.
I have the following queries:
1. 80% of my use for the high end system would be for music, I aint that much of a movie-played on high volume-home theatre-surround sound-nonsense buff.
2. I am looking for a decent receiver, a pair of nice floor mounts (column speakers is what I want-like Jamo 606) and a nice sub in the 250-300 range.
3. I dont know 1 bit of technical stuff abt speakers.
4. I want the sound to just fill up my room or listening space, with deep bass and clarity, without my having to raise the volume to wake up the neighbours.
5. Of course, if I am spending so much money, I do want to have enough juice in my system to wake up the neighbours, when I am drunk or when finally some loser customer of mine pays me back and I am in high spirits.
6. Finally, as of now, I will not spend more than Rs. 1 Lakh.
Just a Hello...and seek help to buy a high end music system.
