Here is the Update:
Monday, 30/11/2015: I had inquired about Dali Zensor 1 with HTStore however I wanted to pick it up myself. So I checked with Mr. Palani of Audio Planet Kormangala, Bangalore which is relatively nearer to my place. Mr. Palani didn't like my idea of picking speaker without auditioning them and he suggested that Q Acoustics 2020i is another better speaker in same range and I should have a blind audition on both before deciding on DZ1. He was very uncomfortable that how can someone pick up a speaker just like that and he really wanted to help me in picking the right speaker for my liking, a sound which my ears like over the other. I clarified that I had auditioned DZ1 at DNI Home Theater but could not pickup them as there was no stock.
He still suggested for audition and gave me an appointment for Thursday evening. Later on whatsapp conversation I got to know that he actually didn't have stock of DZ1 and will arrange a pair from HTStore. I requested that he should arrange a demo piece because if I happen to like Q Acoustics, DZ1 would become an open box item. He said he would have to buy a new pair only but that's not a problem. I was really pleased with the gesture.
Thursday, 03/12/2015: As I arrived at his store, first thing I noticed was a brand new sealed box of DZ1 which he had got from HTStore. Box was opened and DZ1 were put for audition along with Q Acoustics 2020i. Even though I had carried my Music he suggested to start the audition with two English tracks which he feels will be good to compare the sound signature of both the speaker. I agreed and the blind test started with speaker A, followed by Speaker B. On both his tracks I liked the signature of Speaker B. He asked if I wanted to know which was Speaker A, but I said I would like to listen to my music as well in blind audition. I listened to few of my favorite tracks, and again I liked the signature of speaker B.
That's where I asked which was speaker A and it was DZ1. He told that even though a lot of people are gaga about Q Acoustics 2020i as compared to DZ1 including him, I happened to like DZ1 and that's what exactly he wanted. He wanted me to pickup what my ears like not what people recommends or likes. He stressed that every speaker is good and has a particular signature and particular audience. He happened to like Q Acousitcs 2020i among these two while I liked DZ1. I can't say Q Acoustics is bad in general and neither he can say same about DZ1. That's where I realized how subjective sound is. We must get an opinion about which speakers to audition, but we must finalize only after auditioning. So in the end I picked up DZ1 on Thursday.
hyeah:
I would like to acknowledge the help and support Mr. Palani provided in this process with respect to his expertise, time and money (yeah money, in case I would have liked and bought 2020i, an open box DZ1 would incur him some loss which he bought on just that day for the audition). He took some time from his busy schedule as he is dealing with projects only now. Solely based on our telephonic conversation he gave me an appointment as stereo listeing is his passion and he could not bear the sight of me buying without auditioning. I really thank him for above. :signthankspin:
Now back to topic: So now I've Marantz NR1506 and DZ1 but I forgot to pick up speaker cable
. So where should I pickup the speaker cable and which one? Audio Planet is about 15km from my place so it's also far for just picking cable. HTStore is about 30km.
DNI is about 10km. I'm in CV Raman Nagar so please suggest where can I pickup cable and which one?
