I'm not sure the budget of a set of home theatre system, maybe you can show me the highest end or medium end set selling in the market now. But make sure the specs i mentioned above are available in the system.

dun think there's any answer to "which brand is the best to buy". everyone has different preference so its best to go to a shop and test things out then google for some reviews and ask the forumers for their views.

Entry level HTS like Yamaha, Pioneer with HDMI start from RM3k+
Never saw any with WLAN before...

Below is a rough guide line but just for the sound system ie excluding display.

Budget HTIB - RM2k ish.

Entry Level Separate 5.1 Systems - RM5k ish

Mid Range Separate Systems - RM10k to 20k ish

High End Separate Systems - >20k to Million ish

Which is more in line with your budget ish?

I think Mid range suitable for me. Pls add the display together later.

RM20k for sound system is not bad la... 30k would be better so u can get better subby tongue.gif

anyways, for 20k i guess u can go with :

Sub - RM5k (SVS PC12+?)
AVR - RM5k (Denon/Onkyo)
Rest of 5.0 speakers - RM10k (Too many brands out there tongue.gif)

U still need at least RM1k for cables.

oh... sounds like u want a HTIB system, since u got nice budget, y don't u check out the Bose systems... small lifestyle type, think u can get 5.1 set (with Bose receiver) for around 10k (excluding BD player). Then u still have 10k for tv & BD player smile.gif

but if i were to go for lifestyle speakers, I'd go with a real AVR (Denon / Onkyo budgeted around 5k) then get lifestyle 5.1 systems like KEF eggs / B&W for another RM6k or so...

to each their own i guess.... there's no explaining it but u get RM3k sound quality for RM3k and RM20k sound quality for RM20k tongue.gif

so if u r happy with RM3k sound, then 3k is all u need thumbup.gif

In the electronic shop like BEST, HARVEY or SENQ, they don't have a set cost between 10k to 20k? I'm looking at the set like this, just tell me the model set then i'll go to take a look.
