HTIB / AVR suggestion for Music / Movies / Games

[rockxdude]

Hello Friends,


I am new here and sorry if I post anything wrong or if I am not clear.


I am from India and my brother is coming from USA on November 15th. I know he is coming before the best sale


Few days back I was in showroom and I heard yamaha yht 196 sound and I was really impressed. I can hear small details in a movie and I was about to buy it but I thought it is costly and is entry level HTIB. It was around $390 and I think I can get a very good HTIB from USA.


Can someone recommend a good HTIB and AV Receiver? Mainly for Music / Movies / Games.
If the shipping weight is too much then I will get only AVR and purchase a good speaker set from India locally.


Also I need 2-3 budget level set. Right now I am not clear how much should I spend on this.
But overall I would like it under $500 and maybe if you can help me with
Level 1: <$300
Level 2: <$400
Level 3: <$500


Would be really helpful
Another thing I need it as international specified power input. In India it is 220V-240V and should be compatible with this.


And also if you can tell me what will be the best time to purchase this?
I think there would be sale on labour day.
And any other good sale after this?


Thank You

Hi;

HTIB, is short for home theater in a box, this would include a unit like a A/V receiver with built in power an crosovers which would drive all the speakers that are included. Sort of all you need, plug and play

If you want separate A/V receiver and speakers, you don't want the HTIB.

The Yamaha is probablya good unit to get in HTIB. The trouble with some of the HTIB th speakers are small and there is typically a gap in response wher the small speakers drop off and the sub picks up. In your budget the HTIB will probably be your best bet.

I'm not up on all the models of HTIB but honestly there wouldn't be a great eal of difference between quality name brands like Yamaha or Sony, for example.

I'd avise increasing the budget or movingin steps if yourroom is medium to large whch isn't the best environment for HTIB.
