whats your budget? To get a GOOD home-theatre system you need to spend a minimum of Rs.50000 for DVD, amplifier/receiver and speaker-system.

What is home-theatre?
At its simplest, a DVD-player connected to a TV.
At its most evolved, upto 11 channels of audio powering a multitude of loudspeakers in a dedicated room, complete with large projection-screen and rows of armchairs.
Usually somewhere between the two….anything from 2...Read more

Those who love movies, usually love them LARGE. In other words, the true movie-lover would only be happy in front of a big screen, be that in a cinema or, increasingly, a home-theatre. With the full-range, high-impact sound that is part of the package.

A DVD-player for over half a lac? Just a DVD-player?
In the world of high-end home-theatre, that sum is considered mid-priced. But to those who are able (and willing!) to appreciate the difference, the money is SO worth it.

WHY cant we, in this country, learn to make the most of the incredible opportunities for nature-tourism we have been gifted with? Anywhere else in the (civilised) world, a hotel ’’bang on the beach’’ like MTDC Tarkarli, would be well-maintained and professionally-run, though not necessarily 5-star. ...Checkout Rajapruek Resort, Koh Samui (Thailand) to see what I mean. Run by a family (in fact by two young sisters) it is an object lesson in what a decent, unpretentious hotel should be. Now if only we could have the same in Alibaug, Janjira-Murud, Kashid, Tarkarli, Harihareshwar and others, instead of the pathetic excuses for hospitality on offer!!Read More

As a music-lover first and an audiophile by default, I cannot agree more with what kjsimha says. My quest for the (near) perfect sound has taken me all my life and the super-objective in this has ALWAYS been MUSIC --- and more recently, cinema. There is absolutely NO substitute for listening....and ...I dont mean to the drivel of a (usually idiotic or half-informed; and often dishonest!) salesperson. Make sure all tone-controls (or EQ) are 'flat'/bypassed in the system. Take along your own CD's, use your own ears and trust your own opinions. And remember you will have to live with what you buy for a LONG time....so look for a wife/husband not a mistress/toyboy!
