Did you get this quote on MS speakers from the dealer in Kormangala (behind BDA complex)? This guy has this self-benefiting tendency to quote significant high prices.
You need to throw the MRP at him (from fxentertainment who is the India distributor) to get him fall inline and give you proper pricing.

yes i got the quote from FX entertainment althought the MS dealer in kormangala did give rates a bit higher by only few hundred rupees.he was just saying the round figure.
anyway here is the conversation between me and MR Shane(MD of FX ent).
MR SHANE reply:"This email has been brought to my attention and i would be extremely grateful if you could mention the dealers name who has tried to over-charge you...we at Fx Entertainment follow a strict MRP and if someone over-charges, we would certainly like to know who that dealer is, so that we can have him spoken to and action taken.
Please do call me on my direct mobile number ********** and i would be more than happy to share prices with you."
when i asked hime to post the prices on the website and to let customers know about the MRP since they can easily get cheated.
MR SHANE reply:"appreciate your concern and will try and host my price list on our website. In the mean time, attached is my price list for your reference. Could you also reveal your city of residence so that i could help you find a suitable Mordaunt Short authorized dealer?"
when i said him that they do slightly overcharge
MR SHANE reply:" Audio Planet are our official partners for Karnataka and they wouldn??t increase prices. In fact it??s about 7-8% cheaper than Delhi as we have to ship products from our warehouse in Chennai where as Bangalore is closer and therefore enjoy that cost factor.
Please call Mr. Palani on ********* and he will help you out. For your information, Mr. Palani is also the Technical head of Fx Entertainment."
the above are the actual conversation with the Marketing director of FX entertainment which i had about 3weeks ago.so thanks to me the prices are being put up in the website.
