By local I meant imported by the distributor but locally available.
Interesting product. If buying in India, you would have to take customs into account.
I wouldnt rely too much on the Darko review - he raves about virtually all products he reviews. This combined with the pay-per-review model makes me a little skeptical.
I am eager for asr measurement for the same. It’s too much money anyway.
Custom charges are in theory now included in the same price they charge everyone regardless of location. There may still be some exceptions though but none were noted when purchasing from Taiwan.
Oh, I see - that's too bad.They don't extend the customs included price to India. Buyer has to bear customs charges
I am not aware of any. Good to know if there are any. Almost all of them I met or spoke to are purists and true to their philosophy. Some were reluctant to add any additional features or connections even for additional price as they believed it would affect the sound quality.I agree there are a few full system based local solutions.
Do any of these systems have software based system tuning, like Buchardt claims?

Sean of Zero fidelity is a great guy. He never reads the spec sheet in the name of reviewing. His reviews are honest and trustable. I like this guy more than any AV reviewer.You are right a bit.. But, what makes it interesting is that he compared to the KEF LS50W and said he liked more. This might be very appealing those don't want to worry too much about electronics and interconnects and stuffs.
Also, Sean from Zero Fidelity seems to be more honest in his reviews and he also did like the latest offerings from Buchardts...

B&w has become more of marketing and lifestyle product.i wonder how it would compare to the B&W Formation duo since its is at a similar price range albeit the B&W has much better drivers Carbon Dome Tweeter and Continuum Woofer (taken from 800 series )
Talking about reviewers, I was speaking to him the other day on his live chat and he indicated that Tharbamars reviews were not entirely objective. And by that, he didn’t mean they were subjective.Sean of Zero fidelity is a great guy. He never reads the spec sheet in the name of reviewing. His reviews are honest and trustable.

Haha .... A lot of us here would like to hear these speakers/system.would love to try these speakers
I am sure sooner or later it will happenHaha .... A lot of us here would like to hear these speakers/system.
But then customs, landed price, etc means the wait is gonna be long.
If we get lucky, some FM will import it and coincidentally be in our city and invite us for a "bhaitak".
Until then we can only say "Huh ... This company seems to be up to something new"

And Considering the fact that he's clued up with distributors from North America and is responsible for a lot of gear sent to other reviewers like Thomas, Steve and Jay, such an allegation cannot be entirely discarded.
Thank you for those kind words Sachin. I would really love to and it'd not be a stretch to say that's my dream job !!! But I believe i have much to educate myself on and experience before i try something on those lines. My exposure to gear is pretty limited and I believe that is critical to establishing a baseline/point of reference before I review any gear or dole out opinions/advice. I am passionate about this hobby and i guess i might have the stamina (or maybe not) but i believe developing the right temperament is just as necessary. I've noticed certain reviewers play it fast and loose with their advice and that's what bothers me. To my mind, when one is on a public forum where you have an audience but not necessarily the ability/possibility to connect with them on an individual basis to clarify their doubts, one must imbibe in oneself a sense of responsibility and give their opinions with care and circumspection. Therefore, some serious groundwork would be required before i can think of venturing into this field.You should consider starting a channel. I see the passion and stamina in you.
