If you have a small to medium sized room:
DALI ZENSOR 3 and ZENSOR VOKAL center is my recommendation. If the speakers being discussed fit your budget... you should have spectacular sound.
I am using an earlier version CONCEPT 2 with Zensor Vokal... amazing performance and good VFM.

look at the closely matched specs:
DALI ZENSOR 3
DALI ZENSOR VOKAL

Velodyne is with AutoNode Koyembedu as they had complete range in demo. A small story about Vipul's unethical reply as if he is an expert please go though. The same will be the kind of reply he will give for customers asking for post sale services.
AutoNode is the importer for Pioneer and Yamaha as I have seen both the company executives doing the paper works and trucks of products getting dispatched from there office to modern retails and other region distributors. I saw someone trying for Vipul Audio but just ask him about any other brand which he wont deal like Pioneer or Velodyne or Nakamichi he will start bluffing fake stuff. I am setting up 8 home theaters for our new project in ECR and I enquired with him too. Very unethical reply was given for the following brands and dealership
Pioneer- NO service, Brand is shutting down so go to Denon, No LX receivers available anymore as they are closing the brand which is sold to Onkyo. OMG what the hell? All others like Decibel, AutoNode are having stocks and this guy is not? It seems like Pioneer has kicked him out of the authorized dealership network as he sold Grey market products with fake invoices. I am so annoyed by the way he argues for every question.
AutoNode and Decibel : Sir, Both of them are grey market dealers:lol:. Mr.Vipul asked me "AutoNode is a car mechanic shop sir how can they sell home theatre and what knowledge or qualification they have to do home theaters sir? " I replied they are with MR.Jeff Nemec who is the designer of Acoustics and consultant for Adlabs and few more companies including Satyam cinemas and he replied " Who is Kalai there? he is a car mechanic only know?" I called Kalai and asked he says so and he immediately whatsapps me his certificate from Guanzhou University on Audio Engineering and few more things? I was like I am sorry bro....
Velodyne: The only brand which makes subwoofers with sense but he says its a cheap chinese brand.
Final question about Vipul which I asked him - What were you doing before this business?
"WE are big time wire and box dealers in Ritchie street even now we have a shop sir:lol: " and you are commenting on Decibel and AutoNode Kalai who seems to be the only qualified engineer who works for AutoNode with some sense and we dont even know who owns AutoNode but we are in dilemma of giving the order to AutoNode because of Mr.Kalai and Mr.Madhav or Decibel Mr.John only no others in Chennai are professional for sure. But a wire trader is acting like an expert and giving unethical answers for all that he cannot and he dont have. Pioneer is shutting down :lol:

Do give a chance to XTZ speakers. The dealer, Surround Swar is in Chennai (has a website too). I heard those speakers at the what hi-fi expo at Bangalore and was very impressed by the sound quality. I guess their bookshelf offerings, XTZ 95.24 may fit within your budget. I don't know how it'll pair with your denon avr but it's a worth a shot imo.
