The audio tests will be of copyright-free songs. We have recorded three songs of different genres. The same mic is used, and it is placed at the same distance. Volume is kept at 75%, and treble and bass are max. This is the correct way of testing. Recordings are done after completing Burning time. The drive link of these audios is given at the end of the article. Those will give you the exact audio quality. After that, you can decide the best system for you.
Do you need a soundbar or a home theatre system?
To enhance the audio of a TV, a 2.1 home theatre system is not needed, as a soundbar will suffice. But to enjoy music and for a good system, buy any system from the list given below.
Some Bullet Points- Best home theater system in India under 10000
- Match the connectivity options of the system with the TV.
- Bluetooth 4.2 or AUX/RCA input is essential to connect the system.
- Don’t expect Dolby decoding from budget home theatre systems. At most, you’ll get stereo audio. Dolby decoding can be done via soundbar, but it can’t perform like a home theatre system.
- A good Home Theater system (around ₹ 40k) is significant to decode Dolby Digital, Dolby Atmos, and DTS X.
- Proper speaker placement and acoustics are mandatory to enjoy them. Their stereo audio is fantastic.
- One prominent question I receive is about Surround Sound. These systems don’t have surround sound effects. Surround channels give audio that provides a virtual surround feeling. A proper surround system costs above ₹ 2 Lakhs.
- It is significant to know the audio signature. Your preference might be different from what the manufacturer intended to produce. For heavy bass, buy a system with heavy bass. You won’t be able to attach a subwoofer or extra speakers.
The two options under ₹10,000- Best home theater system in India under 10000
The first two options under ₹10,000 are Infinity Hardrock and Obage 303. The clear winner is Obage 303. It has an 8mm wood cabinet with 2 satellite speakers. On the front is an LCD display with connectivity options. On the side are connectivity options, bass and treble control knobs, and an on/off switch. On the side, you get AUX to AUX, AUX to RCA, RCA to RCA cable, and remote control without batteries. All Obage systems have the same non-fully-functional remote with low-built quality. A comparison video on Obage 303 and Infinity Hardrock is there on our channel. It has 2 full-range satellite speakers of 3-inch 10W along with a 5.25-inch 30W subwoofer.
Its SNR is 80dB. The frequency response is 50Hz-15KHz. The total output is 50Hz. It weighs 9.5 Kg. It has USB, SD card, AUX, F.M radio, and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity options. Its sound stage is 3.5 meters (fantastic).
AUDIO TEST ANALYSIS- Best home theater system in India under 10000
Pros – Best home theater system in India under 10000
It has a balanced signature with lower bass. The lower bass is the actual bass. Upper bass is termed fake bass in the music industry. Its fake bass is balanced and real bass is good which is its biggest pro. Mids and highs are amazing. We couldn’t understand how it gives good real bass, balanced fake bass, and amazing mids and highs.
Audio quality and dialogue will be clear after connecting it to the TV. We face issues with dialogues due to high bass. It is because of more upper bass. The upper bass creates a Bhoomi sound. Lower bass will be felt more from the ground up. This is the actual bass given in this system. It has a melodious audio signature with a slightly heavy bass.
Cons– Best home theater system in India under 10000
It is not loud due to small drivers. Power distribution is good, but there is not much output due to small drivers. It is best for 200 sqft or smaller rooms. It costs ₹4,000. Its wall mounting options are average. The wall mount of our unit was tilted.
The second option under ₹ 4000- Best budget home theater system in India
Under ₹ 4K, my second option is Boat Blitz or Obage DT21. The clear winner is Obage DT21. It has a proper wooden enclosure. On the front are one speaker and one air vent. On the side of both towers is a subwoofer. On the front of the active tower is an LCD display along with connectivity options and input options on display. On its back are an on/off switch bass control knobs and input options to connect passive towers.
All in all, its built quality is good. In the box comes AUX to AUX, AUX to RCA, RCA to RCA, and remote control. Bass and treble control are missing. Every tower has two full-range speakers of 3-inch 5W and two subwoofers of 4-inch 20W.
Its SNR is 80dB. The frequency response is 50Hz-15KHz. The total output is 50W. It weighs 8 kg. It has USB, SD card, AUX, F.M radio, and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity options. Its sound stage is 2.5 meters which is good according to these towers.

PROS- Best home theater system in India under 10000
Audio signature- DT21 is the most balanced system in this price range, with perfectly balanced bass, mids, and highs. Vocals have some crispiness which is audible in this system (fantastic). With such details, imagine the kind of its tuning. Power delivery and tuning are amazing.
CONS- Best home theater system in India under 10000
This is not perfect for a heavy-bass audio signature. It has a balanced audio signature. The heavy bass system cannot be used for long hours.
Best Home Theater Systems in India under ₹7,000- Best home theater system 2021
The best Home Theater system in India under ₹7,000 is Panasonic HT21 and Philips 8085b. The clear winner is Panasonic HT21. It has a subwoofer unit (wood and plastic) and tall wall-style speakers (plastic). Tall wall speakers can be wall-mounted. On the front is an LED light but no display.
A circular jog dial to +/- volume, bass, or treble is on the top. Connectivity options are on the side and back with an on/off switch. RCA to RCA, AUX to AUX, and the remote control are on the box.

AUDIO TEST ANALYSIS- Best home theater system in India under 10000
PROS- Best home theater system in India under 10000
Panasonic has a heavy bass audio signature. It has everything that a heavy bass system must have. Heavy bass starts from 5%-6% volume. The bass doesn’t rise with the same proportion as volume, which is good. If this happens, then at maximum volume nothing will be audible except bass. This doesn’t happen in this system. No compromise is made with mids and highs.
This system is good for music, especially Punjabi and Hardrock songs. Its separation is good. All the instruments will be audible separately. Keep the bass on 75% on all volumes for a fantastic performance.
CONS- Best home theater system in India under 10000
One problem- It distorts at maximum volume and bass. Though, distortion is less. Kawali listeners should avoid it due to its high Bhoomi sound. Its remote is pathetic. The equalizer button doesn’t perform any function. Equalizer’s work is to control bass and treble, which can’t be done with a remote.
For that, you need to click the mode button on the subwoofer and then rotate the jog dial to adjust these. It can’t be controlled via remote. The Remote is just to change modes, control volume, and power it on/off. You can buy this system as its audio quality is good. Just notice the audio signature. It costs ₹6,700.
The second option under ₹ 7000- Best home theater system in India under 10000
Contenders of my second option under ₹ 7K are Obage HT144 and F&D T200X. The winner is Obage HT144. It has a dark look and is made of pure wood. The 8mm wood makes it heavy and sturdy. Better quality wood ensures a better sound is produced. All connectivity options are on the back, along with bass, treble, and volume control knobs.
On the front is an LCD with some connectivity options, which will display too. Its satellite units come with speakers and tweeters. Good wood is used. Connecting wire is 2.5 meters long. Its built quality is top-notch. It comes with RCA to RCA, AUX to RCA, AUX to AUX, and a non-fully-functional remote control without batteries. There are two mid-range speakers of 4 inches 8 ohms and two paper cone tweeters of 4 inches 8 ohms. The total output is 20W per satellite.
There is a 6.5-inch subwoofer of 4 ohms and 60W. The total output is 100W. The frequency range is 40Hz-17KHz. Its separation is greater than equal to 42dB. The SNR is 80dB. It weighs 12kg. It has an optical port (to connect it to a smart TV), AUX, USB, SD card, Bluetooth 5.0, and FM. Its 5m sound stage is impressive.

PROS- Best home theater system in India under 10000
This is an under-prized system. Obage Industry, do not raise the price of this system. This has the best audio signature in ₹10k range. This is the flattest audio signature. Everything like bass, treble, and mids, i.e. highs, are flat. This is the beauty of this system. Another pro-, a 6.5-inch subwoofer, is placed in this big cabinet, giving it proper space to produce bass.
Second- The wire length of 2 channels is 2.5 m each. Keeping the subwoofer in the centre and placing channels 2.5 m apart will give a 5m sound stage. The sound will be integrated, and you’ll listen to one music. This is a big pro. After connecting it to a TV and placing this in your room by keeping channels wide apart, it’ll give a proper theatre sound.
On keeping them together, it’ll produce a different sound signature. Keeping them together will give a flat, whereas keeping them apart will give an auditorium-like sound signature.
Cons- Best home theater system in India under 10000
This system is not for people who want heavy bass. They may choose other systems. 2nd- It is not for people who listen to loud music. This is flat. Power distribution is done incorrectly and in equal proportion. You will enjoy it, but it won’t shake your neighbour’s house. Right now, it costs ₹6,400.
Best Home Theater in India under ₹9000- Best home theater system under 10000
The two contenders for Best Home Theater in India under ₹9k are Philips 8000B and Sony T40. The winner is Philips 8000B. There are five speaker channels made of good plastic. They don’t shake on high volume. They can be wall-mounted as their wall mounting is suitable.
The subwoofer is good, with a good circular display. Tactile Control buttons are given around it. This 8-inch system is heavy, which is good as it would not shake on more output. In the box, there is RCA to RCA and a small remote control which can be lost easily. On the side is a USB and SD card reader. Rest connectivity options are on the back of the Subwoofer. Its built quality is above average.

PROS- Best home theater system in India under 10000
Get ready to be surprised by its audio quality. You will be astonished by its bass, mid and treble. This 5.1 system really outperforms. Don’t expect channel separation from this budget home theatre system. Audio separation (audio of different instruments) will be clearly audible with a slightly heavy bass sound signature.
The sound stage is 4.7m due to the 4.7m wire length. Place the surround channels just above ear level for virtual sound effects. Only systems above ₹2 Lakh have Surround sound. This system gives virtual surround sound. This is a beast in this category. Everything, including the Heavy bass sound signature, is tuned to perfection. It has good mids and highs. The vocals are clearly audible. Bass and treble can be controlled, and it is really good.
Cons- Best home theater system in India under 10000
Earlier, it was fine, but now Philips has downgraded the quality of rubber below the subwoofer and speakers. In shiny places, it will leave black stains. Otherwise, there are no issues. This ₹9000 system is perfect for a slight high bass audio signature. This is the best 5.1 among all brands in this budget.
Second options under ₹9000- Best home theater system in India under 10000
Our second option contenders under ₹9k are F&D T35X and Obage DT 2605. The winner is Obage DT 2605. It comes with dual tower speakers (tan colour). On the front is a good glossy look. LCD panel with connectivity options and input control is given on the front of the active tower. On the side of the same tower are connectivity options, bass, treble, volume control knobs, and power on/off options.
It is heavy as 8mm wood is used. Wood cabinet improves audio quality as speakers perform their best. Improvement must be made with the mesh cloth. Its look can be improved with a little more work.

PROS- Best home theatre under 10000
People who like heavy bass will love this system. This system has the most punchy bass in this price range. It will shake your home at full volume. But it isn’t made for house parties. It has a high lower bass. Lower bass is actual bass that is felt from the ground up. You will feel it in your heart. The upper bass is controlled. The power distribution (e.g. distribution of 100W among speakers) decides the audio signature.
In this system, maximum power is in lower bass. This is the beauty of this system. Mids are good due to good speakers. The problem in highs is prevented with the help of tweezers. Tweeters have made highs amazing. On Lower volume (5%-10%), you’ll get good bass, mids, and good high notes.
This system is good for soft music but a good bass (for e.g. Qawwali, in which you want bass in tabla and separation in instruments). This magic is possible due to the subwoofer and tweeters. If there were no tweeters, then this system would have been a waste. High notes wouldn’t have been possible. Its highs and mids are balanced. The sound stage is 2.5m, i.e. wire length is 2m. It will produce excellent sound when placed together and when placed apart.
Do not increase the wire length of the speakers. Due to this, speakers will not integrate, and you will not enjoy them. 2.5m is more than enough.
Cons- Best home theatre under 10000
It is heavy. 21 kg weight is too much. Due to the solid 8mm MDF wood, its weight is high. This is good as this good bass requires such a cabinet. But it is very heavy. This system is not meant for house parties. This audio is enough for 200-225 sqft rooms. These are not good for parties. It costs ₹7,500. This is a fantastic system at this price.
The best home theatre system under ₹11,000- Best home theatre under 10000
There is only one contender (unbeatable) under ₹11,000 is F&D T60X. It is the sole winner. It has two tower-style wood speakers. On the front is the piano’s Black finish, and in the rest of the other places, it is matte paint. It looks premium. On the front are two speakers and two tweeters. On the side is a subwoofer which is currently completely merged inside. All connectivity options are given on the side of the active tower speaker. There are 2 Mic controls for Karaoke. These Mic(s) can be regulated separately. Input options can be accessed with these buttons.
The remaining connectivity options are on the back of this tower, and an input option to connect the passive tower. On the front is an LCD display that displays volume and on/input options. The input option to connect to the active tower is on the back of the passive tower. Rest it is kept clean.
In the box, there is RCA to RCA, RCA to AUX, connecting wires, and remote control. This is not a fully functional remote control, but its built quality is good. It comes with batteries. You also get a plastic microphone of average built quality. It is wireless and battery-operated (2AA cells). You need to buy them separately.
Mike’s performance is just average. The Karaoke option in this 110W system is more than sufficient. Overall, it has good looks and good built quality. It has four full-range speakers of 4 inches, two tweeters of 1 inch, and two subwoofers of 8 inches. The output of each tower is 55W which totals 110W. The SNR is 70dB. Its separation is greater than or equal to 45dB. Its frequency response is from 20Hz to 20KHz (fantastic). It weighs 18.5 Kg. It has AUX, USB, an optical port, Bluetooth 5.0, and 2 mics. It has a Karaoke feature with a free mic.
It is a wireless mic that gets easily paired with this system. It has NFC support, but we couldn’t test it as we didn’t have any NFC-compatible device. Its sound stage is 2.5m.
AUDIO TEST ANALYSIS- Best home theater system in India under 10000
PROS – Best Home Theater Under 10000
This system is loud with brilliant audio quality. The bass is good, even on lower volumes. No compromise has been made in mids and highs. We listened to it at 6 volume, and its max volume is 30. At this volume, the bass, mids, and highs were brilliant. This system is perfect for house parties. Everybody will feel on a dance floor at small house parties. Its karaoke is awesome. This is perfect in this price range.
Don’t compare it with higher-priced systems. That would be an inappropriate comparison. We think it is better than F&D T70X. While using Karaoke, the sound will decrease, which is absolutely normal. Speakers can deliver karaoke audio only on lower sound. This system delivers karaoke and sound in a perfect balance. Even systems priced ₹2k to ₹3k higher are not better than this. It is the perfect system, nearly ₹11,000.
Cons- Best Home Theater Under 10000
