Av Receivers In Thailand?

[radigast]

As a result of the recent power surge, my Samsung DVD Upconverter/Receiver went the way of the buffalo. I have been looking everywhere for a decently priced stereo receiver that decodes DTS and Dolby. It doesn't have to be a dvd player. I already have the speakers, so do not want to buy a home-theater-in-a-box. I've only ever seen these in the upscale shops (Siam, NgamWongWan, etc...), and don't want to pay their ridiculous prices. Surely, there must be some rarely known hole-in-the-wall shop that sells this kind of stuff. TIT.

So...anyone know of said "magical place" where I could find decent receivers that don't cost too much (8000 Baht or less), but still decode DTS in addition to all the other formats?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I purchased a Maranzt (great brand) from power buy last year for 10,000 baht. The sound is great for movies in DTS an DD 5.1. They had Onkyo and Harmon Kardon for about the same price but after doing some reasearch online I found the Maranzt to be the best choice for me.

I've not seen a power buy yet. Where is the power buy that you went to?

Thanks for the info. I'm looking at their website now...
