A Christmas Upgrade Advice-- AV Receiver- Please

Unfortunately measurements for Fyne speakers are hard to find, although Fyne is available in Canada as well. Is Hsu available in Dubai? Their VTF-TN1 is a great performer in a taller size cabinet. A pair of PB-1000 or PB-2000 can work well on a budget but avoid the 3000 Micro; that is best for small office systems and not a home theatre.

Unfortunately Hsu are not available in Dubai. Very limited choices in this part of the world. There are few brands I'm not familiar with like DYNACORD, Mackie, dB Technologies, Montarbo, RCF, HEDD, FBT, QSC, Neumann,

A number of those are professional audio companies for commercial applications. Not generally recommended for home theatre because pro audio subwoofers are more about maximum output and long throw (projecting over greater distances). They tend to be designed for strong mid bass and often do not go below 30Hz or higher, so you loose the sub 30Hz content that is in movies. You want a sub rated down to 20Hz, or lower if you like the subsonic vibrations.

Thanks, very clear. Now it's up to me to pick between the options we discussed. C30 on top of list along with the Subwoofer. 1 or 2 subs is the decision to make. It all depends on the overall cost.
