Hello everyone!

I have been doing a lot of reading on this forum for the past week and am amazed at the quality of advice.

I wanted to enter the world of Hi-Fi with a decent audio system that I will use to listen to music ONLY. No HT, wont upgrade to one in future either. My budget is about 25k for both the amp and speakers. I saw that the sonodyne SA 8000 (12k) fit my budget leaving me with about 12k for the speakers - which i have not decided yet. My living room is about 220sq.ft.

I have two questions:
1. Is there a better amp in the 12k range than the SA 8000?
2. Can we really get decent speakers with 12k

Thanks for your time!

Charles,
Try the pulz and the norge range of amps....you may like them....
Pulz and norge also have speakers to match.

Lithos is another Indian brand(bombay mostly I believe) which make good speakers(sub/sat) for the budget you may have. Ofcourse there is always wharfedale 8.2/8.3, boston acoustics and mission, not to forget sonodyne.

That was fast!

Thanks a lot! I have to do some ground work with all the names you've given me. Will let you know what I choose.

hi,
You'll get realyl cool preamp-amp integrated amps from Pulz (30 watts rms!) for Rs.7500. and they do have speakers starting from 5400/pair which are really good for thr budget.you may speak with Edelbert from Pulz @ 26732593. They have their showroom at Andheri.

Try 'Space', I have heard them 2-3 times, they are quite a bit at the price, you can get their top of the line Towers at 14k odd. Do see them before you buy anything else.

Yo Charles!!

Been there, done that!

Sonodyne, Pandam, Norge, Pulz....

My recommendation- Pulz/Lithos Noah1. Stretch a bit, see if you can squeeze Lithos a bit, and switch to Nad 320BEE (30-33K).

You can get The NAD 320 BEE for around 12/13 K (INR equivalant) in Dubai.

So if you happen to know someone there or going ther eon a trip, pull a few favours and get yourself the NAD.

you can try the second hand route.............i remember my friend paid 8k for a Pioneer amp 70+70 rms .genuine stuff..of course at 8k it's a steal...so start searching......and paired them up with Profx speakers.......decent sound

Profx 3-way floor standers are retailed at 29,000 with kevlar drivers and no great shakes about performance.You better off look for something else.
