i need to buy a 5.1 channel speaker system, but i am confused about the fact that whether i go for a brand name or the features. i am more concerned of features.
so i thought of asking it here. i need to know which speaker system has the maximum RMS and its price. and the price range is 10-15k. i need the best quality sound thats why i am insisting on RMS. so guys pls give me ur genuine experiences and mention a best speaker system to buy with good sound output(max RMS)...

i need the best quality sound thats why i am insisting on RMS. RMS is not the indication of sound quality. RMS dictates the loudness. I would look into THD & S/N for the quality of sound. (Chaos & Zhop correct me if I'm wrong) Above all sound quality is subjective, so better listen to the speakers before you buy them.

Coming back to your question, the Logitech z5300 will fit in your budget. It costs around 12K.

how much does logitech z5500 costs???
thank you for correcting me. i need loudness as well as clarity... that means i dont want to hear a noise even in high volume...
by the way, u didnt give me any options, u straight away jumped to logitech??? even i had that choice in my mind. but i wanted to know any other good speaker systems are available other than logitech...
which one do u suggest, z5300 or z5500???

which one do u suggest, z5300 or z5500??? z5500 costs around 25K. It comes with a dolby/dts decoder, auxillary inputs and a wireless remote. But its no way near your budget

I bought Altec lansing 5.1 151i speakers for Rs.2800 and it sound is excellent. It has both stereeo and and surround mode. Surround mode is mind boggling!

The best would be to hear them for urselfs. Specs/branding are important but its ulimately what u want.

Altec buddy or Bose(if u can afford them) Not bose at the lower end. I've heard Altec Lansing VS4121 and Bose companion speakers side by side. The Bose ones were not anyway near the Altec Lansing. Not sure of the high end Bose ones though
