Good evening fellow Ozbargainers.

If you have been pondering the recent JB Hifi HTP-072 (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/128072) or the Yamaha YHT299 (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/128576) and was looking for another product from Pioneer which has an active subwoofer (the HTP-072 has a passive subwoofer), why not take a look at the following deal from Videopro:

Pioneer HTP323 5.1 Channel 3D Home Theatre System for $342.10 with free delivery.

Product Features

• 5.1 HD virtual 3D sound
• Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio support
• 4K Ultra HD video ready
• Digital Core Engine with Texas Instruments Aureus™ DSP
• Energy efficient settings
• iPod Digital Transmission via Front USB Terminal with iPod/iPhone charging
• AM/FM Radio

Included Accessories

• AV receiver (VSX323)
• 5 x speakers (SHS50)
• 1 x subwoofer
• Power cord
• Remote control
• User manual

I''m not sure when this price will be available to, however, the free delivery is available till 31 Jan 2014.

It seems like a good price for an entry level home theater system and a more 'apples for apples' comparison to the Yamaha YHT299 pack in the link above.

  Hifi HTP-072 I got it for $199 with $30 credit voucher, is the above model 100% superior over Hifi HTP-072 in comparison to price?

    Only if you believe that being able to use an active subwoofer is worth the price difference. As far as I can see, that is the biggest difference.

    Some additional checks on the products provides the following:

    1) Amplifier for the HTP072 misses out on having a subwoffer pre-out and only has spring-clip speaker connections
    (http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/62/100/42/HTP-072/page.ht…)

    2) Amplifier for HTP323 (the VSX 323) has a sub-pre-out and different connectors for the front speakers.
    (http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/42/98/405/VSX-323-K/page.…)

    Also the difference pointed out by bargain4sujit regarding the Total harmonic distortion (THD) rating for the VSX323 at 0.7% vs the HTP071's rating at 10%.

  This one has 0.7% THD whereas jb HiFi Pioneer has 10% THD. technically this one is supposed to produce 15 times better sound when played at high volume.

  In reality how they perform can be told by listeners or reviewers…

    I can't comment on actual sound quality. If your own research finds anything then please post it up. Meahwhile, I can tell you that the Yamaha provides more connectivity options over the Pioneer (i.e. more legacy connections in addition to the 4 HDMI connections) while the Yamaha has a slightly higher THD rating of 0.9%.
    The amp from the Yamaha package is the HTR-3066. You can find the specs here: http://usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/av-receivers-amp…
