Hello everyone,

I’m looking to purchase a good pair of stereo bookshelf speakers in Chennai. My preference is for brands like Wharfedale and other reputed stereo brands. However, I’m facing a few issues and would appreciate some guidance from the experienced members here.

  1. Limited availability:
    Most of the showrooms I find online/offline claim to deal in multiple brands, but when I visit or call, they often don’t have the specific brand (like Wharfedale) and try to convince me to buy whatever they have in stock.
  2. No proper auditioning:
    I couldn’t find any place in Chennai where I can audition stereo speakers before buying. Most local stores mainly push home theatre packages, whereas my interest is purely 2-channel stereo listening.
  3. Authorized dealers vs. others:
    Is it necessary to buy only from an authorized dealer to get proper warranty support? Some local stores in Chennai offer much lower prices but say they cannot provide a GST bill. They claim that within the first year everything will work fine, and after that, if there’s any issue, I can contact them and they’ll “redirect” it to the service center. This sounds risky, but I’m not sure how warranty works in such cases.

In short, I’m confused about what’s the right channel to purchase quality stereo audio gear in Chennai — especially for those of us who are passionate about pure stereo and not interested in home theatres.

Do you have the stereo amp already? If so, try to walk in with your stereo amp and hook it with the speakers available in demo.
There is nothing like "Stereo speakers" seperately, so above option should help you.
