It's already there. I auditioned last weekend.
Theres another brand called Melodika (model BL40) from Poland at Rs 85k and are said to have a beautiful sound, wide deep and controlled. Sound by Design, Delhi, are the guys selling then in India. Look out for Sound by Design or Sid Trehan in Facebook, very helpful and knowledgeable.

Where did you have the audition of Q Acoustic?
I read you want to have audition of KEF- you can try soundscape in aundh, they deal with KEF.
Aquarius on east street which is under renovation can be tried for warfedale and dali.

Could not audition QA 3050. Oceanic have few QA speakers but not 3050. Will check Soundscape this weekend. Am in touch with Behram and waiting for their demo room to be ready for Dali.

Been to Sound Factor few times. They have only Focal in the price range that I am looking. I didnt like one speaker that I heard. It was much too bright. Have talked to Cinebels but I am not too keen on Jamo. Klipsch I will try to listen if I go to that side of town.

I have heard a lot of subs but none could beat - SVS in subwoofers....cost 45 to 55k ....but can be worth the extra money spent by say saving for a year than buying an average sub.
Hi
Plz listen to Jamo and Klipsch both and then form your opinion.....when you have done so much spade work ....dont leave them out.....so that all members get the idea which was finally THE BEST FOR YOUR EARS?
Wish u good luck and happy listening.
I am also in a dilemma like which tower speakers I buy, jamo s426 and s428 is 5.0 system in which I can add sub later on and price is also attractive around 34k , but people say Polk and other brands are also good but they are selling only FS no 5.0
Looking for your advice guys .

@goget : thanks buddy. Am trying to listen to as many speakers as possible. Though, am not that much entused about Jamo and Klpisch. This plus dealer being far from my home has kept me from listening to these. But will try to have a demo if go to that side of town.
@aksar : you need to decide what you are looking for - speakers for music or for movies or for both and how much you are willing to spend. You can search the forum for various options at various price points. At the end of the day, trust your ears and buy what you like.

Hi Folks,
Here is the report for few more auditions I did manage.
Cabasse Java: It sounded powerful though I felt it could do with more refinement. Mids seemed to be muddled. MRP was 168k and definitely there are better speakers available at almost half the price. Elac Debut is much better than these speakers.
Polk RTi A9: These were really big speakers and the sound was big as well. With 6 drivers, I expected them to be refined. However, somehow these giants did not sound 'sweet'. Bass was boomy but not the kind that I would like. I felt they may be much better for movies than for music.
Revel F12: These were a disappointment. I stopped listening within minutes.
Still trying to audition Dali Zensors and QAcoustic. So far XTZ and Tannoy remain the two contenders for me.

@ vijar
good you auditioned variety of speakers. yesterday I did audition a pair of FS costing 2.2L , somehow I did not like it, I really felt that Tannoy FS sounded much better with better vocals, and highs.
I too have to audition Dali Zensor, unfortunately the Aquarius store is still under renovation, and I could not locate any other dealer for Dali

I have been calling Behram every week. It seems there renovation will take on forever. Need a plan B to audition Dalis now.
QAcoustics 3050 - this weekend finally managed to audition this one. The speakers sound fabulous with clear mids and wide soundstage. Listened to few tracks from various genres and the only fault I found was that these speakers seem to hold back a notch or two and bass was bit subdued. Comparatively, Tannoy Mercury V4i was more forward.
Also did another round of comparison between Tannoys and XTZ. There are tracks where XTZs are distinctly superior but there are also tracks where we (myself and person demo'ing) could not notice any difference. At times, we were both confused as to which speakers were on. My conclusion is that XTZs are better by a slight margin but cost much more than that margin in percentage terms.
So, as of now, Tannoys seems to be the best amongst the lot that I have heard. But I am holding the final decision till I listen to few more - most importantly Dali Zensors and may be another listen to QA3050.
