Home theater systems – how to choose

Nowadays the technology is used in everything. Before 30 years it was kind of impossible to imagine that we will be able to watch a movie whenever we want, now this doesn't seem as a dream thanks to the home theater systems. Their predecessors are the video recorders, invented in 1963.From then till now this technology is developing as fast as you can imagine. Now if you have enough money you can create a cinema into your living room. Actually more and more people are realizing that there is nothing better than the home entertainment and to assure this we should definitely have a home theater system.

But how can we buy a good one when we don't know much about this technology? Can we trust our instinct that the more it costs the better it is or should we consult to a specialist before buying such systems?

Best Audio System for my Home Theater in India?


I have a room measuring 20 X 15 which i have planned to dedicate for a home theater. I am searching for a suitable audio system which will pump up my room, give the best surround sound effect and cost around 1.5 lakh in India. Please help me out with this dilemma and suggest me a suitable manufacturer

A.K. - Almost all in this forum live in North America, predominately in the USA, and have no personal knowledge about what HT or TV products are available in India, or Indian pricing. I suggest that you post this, and all India specific questions in Yahoo Answers International-India, where you will be communicating directly with people who live there and might be able to help.
