I have no idea man, i have a killer set of OTONE 5.1 speakers and that's the end for me. I would suggest you post on AVForums, those guys know audio equipment.
I personally thing you are overcooking this.
All the systems you linked are good, find one in your budget and buy it, they will have minor differences but that won't make much difference in the end...

Regardless of speakers you choose, I recommend this double jacketed speaker wire from Monoprice for any in wall or extended length applications. I used their 100' spool to set up a home theater system for a friend of mine who's wheelchair bound, and it's been very durable.

Dude, speaker wire is speaker wire. The differences between your options are going to be so minuscule its not going to matter.

looks decent for your use, don't want to waste money on too expensive cables since at short length it makes little difference. all i know is that it needs to have a certain number of strands in each bundle... I can't remember any more info... I'll search for it when i get home on thursday

Thanks..

Why do you only give us pictures? Give us LINKS to the products so we can look at the specs. The Yamaha is a better deal IMO since it comes with everything you need (receiver, etc.)

I haven't heard of Edifier, so can't comment on it.

Yamaha is a well reputed brand, that's why I recommended them and a few others in the first place. At this point we are going in circles, buy the best one you can within your budget and be done with it.

Should be insignificant enough since speakers only use a couple of watts and do not get used all the time. Just tone down your airco, and put your refrigerator on a less strong cooling (for example 3 instead of 7). Turn of your PC if you do not use it, more efficient lightbulbs etc. Anything else than blaming your speakers.

No man , today I went to shop to check Yamaha 299 the base is not upto the mark, its NOT DEEP BASS. i checked with different music setting still base was not deep and tight.
however then i saw Pioneer RS33 http://pioneer-india.in/shop/htp-rs33/
htp-rs33_ga_l@100331@l.jpg

wow it has deep bass may be because of tower speakers or perhaps that HUGE subwoofer.it was alomost like small 14" CRT TV.
Hunt is still on...
mean while I went in BOSE showroom man that one i can not afford. but he said go for Denon instead of YAMAHA.

so can you all please suggest me which are best deep bass speakers ??

Thanks.
