B&W 685 - Prices & audition in bangalore

Anyone knows what the price of B&W 683 & B&W 685 speakers are?
Also where can i audition them in bangalore.

To my knowledge, Vector system deals with it.. you can try reaching them using the Bangalore contact details available online.

When I contacted Vector-Hyderabad, I was quoted around 85K for pair of 684 and 683 must be costing even more

i have seen a shop selling b&w on indira nagar 80 feet road.

sometime soon i will be putting my b&w 601s3 and lcr 60 on sale. these were made in england in contrast to the newer ones which are made in china.

anyone other place?
This Vector system guy sounds like a crook...quoted me ~1.2lakhs for 683 &,
..52K by one sales person & 58K by another sales guy for the 685! Ha!!

Ok. Found!
B&W 683 ~110K
B&W 684 ~70K (Don't remember exactly)
B&W 685 ~51K
B&W 686 ~36K

Rather absurd prices...esp for the 685 and and the 686...at this prices they should include some good stands

i found from links that price is around $650...30K. So 20K is a big difference, this should include the import duty & shipping. But, one should consider that they get it at much lower than the MSRP of $650 from the manufacturers. Then you start wondering
Any one has any idea how much can one bargain for these? Max to pay?? I agree 52K is not happening.

VAT here is 13.5%, is that included as well..just make sure you are comparing apples to apples...

You wana compare "apples to apples"? lets do it!

Speakers priced around $650 MSRP (30K). Lets see, why would someone be in the market and sell products if they dont have a profit to make. So the manufacturer is selling lower to the dealers in their country itself! From reliable sources....Profit margin 40%-50% in audio.
So any 'not so smart' Indian dealer will be able to negotiate a price around 20K and now with shipping included, means pretty much import tax exempt...negligible at most. So Lets making it a higher 30K + 13.5% tax equals ~34K. Which of course is still a higher side in my calculations!
