Hello friends,
I have a friend who is coming to India from US in a month. I am planning to get a pair of floor standing speakers - Monitor audio or Paradigm. I know that weight is a problem but I m thinking I can pay for over baggage. However I am not sure about customs. Since the item will be in packed box, will it pose a problem. He will land in Bangalore airport.
I am considering getting from US because Indian dealers r quoting insane prices. Even if I am forced to pay that customs(I was told 10-15% of item's cost), it will still be cheaper than what I'd pay to the dealer.
Please advise.
Also I m starting with setting up my HT. So I will be adding AVR, Sub and Surrounds later. I may also try to get surrounds from US. I m leaning to buy AVR and Sub in India only due to operating voltage limitations.
Please advise in case my approach towards setting up HT is not right. Thanks
