BANGLORE HERE I COME....!!!!

Hi,

I visited the AV exhibition at the same venue in Bangalore last year.
It was just an exhibition. I mean you could see the speakers displayed but not hear them. Only a couple of vendors had enough space to connect the speakers to a receiver and allow a demo, mostly for home theater. There was a big queue on these booths.

Anyway, you get to talk to the vendors and see the products.

Thanks,
Sharad

I agree with Sharad.

The place is way too small for the expo. Last year all I could see on those days were dealers and organizers fighting over god knows what. Demo rooms were sad and the sales people reluctant. There were definitely some good exceptions but all together it was a mad-rush. Speakers were stalked one on top of the other, dealers were only interested in handing out leaflets and broshures; if you insist you might get a visitingcard.

It was so sad, that me and my friends end up explaining and answering lot of potential customers just because we were enthusiastic about this.

Compared to the Kantevara Indoor Stadium, the Chennai expo seems to look great.

Lets hope to see some good changes tomorrow!

Cheers.

I attended av expo in chennai in december.I went there with great expectations but it was a great dissapointment to me,many big names have been announced but not all of them participated,not many companies gave a demo,only three companies demoed their products but are of poor quality.I went there to gain some knowledge about av products but by the time i came out i felt it was just a waste of time.

That big list of Brand names...this is exactly how we were misled into wasting our time visiting the AV Expo in Delhi last Sept-none of the Hi End brands had any presence.
80 % of the displays were to sell LCD Tvs & HT systems.
For persons seriously interested in 2 channel Stereo-don't waste your time!

Kamal,

I couldn't agree with you more!

Dear All

I dont agree with the above quotes.

Audio/Video Expo isn't a process to provide Demo's.
You don't ask anyone in Auto Expo to give you a ride in there vehicle.
Right ???

Expo's are basically awareness Exhibitions, which aims to launch, brief, educate the public regarding the new and upcoming technologies, and models and yes price as well.
As day by day we are getting new technologies, what is the percentage of the community is aware of such things.
They are bound to take on whatever a good sales person, imposes them to take.

Ya, you can go to the expo shortlist some products and then you surely can have demo for the same at there showroom, and even can get the best deal there...
You can have bag full of catalogues and leaflets and can go through the offers, and technical specs.. and then can decide...

When you are hunting the best product for yourself, you need to do some homework for sure.
One cant expect the companies to come at there door steps and provide them the demo.

Anyways, if you require any assistant regarding LCDs, Plasmas, Conferencing Units, Speakers or Amplifiers and all, do let me know.

I got a handsome brand basket can offer you all your quality needs at an affordable price.

Brands Basket :
Hitachi, Sony, Dali, Monster, Sennheiser, Polycom, Aero and many more....

Thanks & Regards

That day is not far my friend.

It’s just a matter of time. Right now the high-end AV market is still a niche one. But now we can see the pace with which it is growing, as more and more consumers become well informed, the competition will becomes tougher, am sure the stubborn dealers will literally go for home demos and in-house auditions!

The wiser ones had been doing it well in advance from a long time ago.

But yes, I agree that there are lot of limitations and constrains for the exhibitors and organizers during an expo.

Best regards.
