What do u mean by basic. Yht 1840 or htr 3072

Sorry for the delay. By basic AVR, I meant something like Denon AVR - X-520BT, pioneer vsx 531 etc.
You can get a pair of 2.0 speakers for about 10 k, or a 5.0 package for 20 k. That will be better than YHT series.

Then I guess yht-1840 is a good option. Also ckeck onkyo’s base model- same price range but better quality minus subwoofer pre out. I haven’t listened to it but generally the talk is onkyo’s base model home theatre is better than that of yamahas. The subwoofer is more powerful too. If you WILL NOT upgrade the subwoofer at all, you can go with onkyo. Honestly, these speaker systems, home theatre systems are a bug that pushes us to upgrade.

I think same as u so i believe yht 1840 will satisfy me. After all how much time we will really spend listening this.

I generally use a lot as it it connected to the main TV. Looks like it consumes about 150W although the manual says 230W

aman, as Optimus bro said, this is the way. But, I am using an optical cable as my tv doesn't return multichannel audio.
Some say, connecting the stb directly to AVR can cause AVR's hdmi board failure during lightning. Don't know how far is this true. Didn't want to take risk and hence optical cable in use. Please note bro, optical will not support DD+, only DD and DTS.

Did you purchase it?
