If you get the system that they recommended - Yamaha AVR and the Paradigm 70CT should be within your budget.

But after extensive research and poison, I got the Marantz SR6004(SGD1084) - cause it looks so much nicer than all the other AVR and the Paradigm 110CT(RM2500) - cause they didnt have the 90CT in black . Note that my choices were more for aesthetic reason than actual AQ/PQ reasons. But from what I read, they are a pretty good system that will last quite a while.

Just remember that after a few months, you wont remember the few hundred that you saved but will have something crummy in your living/HT room.

Push your budget as far as you can. At least you wont regret it later.

Bro, Can i know where u get the Paradigm 110CT? It's a good price.

Btw, I just get my beginner HT setup with the budget of 3.2K. Maybe u can take as reference:-


Onkyo SR-606 AVR - 1920
Boston MS-4000 5.1 speakers - 750 (Will upgrade to Polk Audio or Paradigm once got budget)
Norstone speaker cable 20M - 180
Altona subwoofer cable - 150
Monster 1000D HDMI cable - 150
Pioneer HDMI cable X 2 - free gift

That special price from Mov Freak. you got to ask him about it. Nice speakers. Setting it up this weekend.
Tell you how it sounds then.

How do you find your set up when play mariah carey?
The marantz is in SGD?
Is the Paradigm 110ct better than your intended 90CT, if yes does it justify for the price in comparison between the 09ct with 110ct?
