Hi,
Offcourse we all have our opinions but the fact remains that some guys just act partially to some and nice to some (why ?? god knows why? ) even I've had so many of these experiences that I've stopped going to any high-end show rooms in my city (I deliberately Am not naming them ) ( I've got ways to buy now) and the biggest problem is majority of the people have no knowledge of the products they sell or the field in general !!
The A2V in question is a very shabby place I have to agree with vinay,some time back my friend bought a tweeter for B&W 309 ,they charged him 4500 +taxes ( remember they only give diaphragm not the entire tweeter assembly) after coming to bangalore we just enquired with onkyo guys and we shocked to know that the price of the same here was only 2500+taxes.
When we tried to contact them,they never responded properly would be an "UNDER STATEMENT" that bad was their response and attitude,
As with how they are surviving,Very simple my friend They are the one and only people in india for certain brands,so no matter what one has to go to them ( ya I know you'll ask why them go to a dealer,but where the heck the dealer will get them from ??)
So whether one likes or not they buy and these people continue to be rude and rusty !!
One more example I'll give you,when supreme industries were the importers of Rotel there pricing was excellent to say the least, the same rotel now in the hands of this A2V crooks,The prices have doubled !! why ??
Anyone wants to answer ??
One thing that I've noticed over the years is in all these so called high-end showrooms they treat you according to how you dress and look !! yes its true ( no matter how many of you disagree),I've experienced it first hand !!
So it all boils down to so many things !!
Regards.
