Hi Friends,

I bought onkyo 609 receiver from GEB. And I bought Wharfedale 9.6 Walnut from vector systems hyderbad on 15th May and paid full amount. I got a phone call from Vector on 19th May saying They got my speakers to their show room OMG!!! very very happy. The mistake I made is, I didn't test them at their show room believing they should be fine. I reached home and connected. By the time I connected one of the speakers tweeter is not responding properly. I called vector guys and they send some technicians to see the problem.
They clearly identified the problem by altering left channel to right and right to left and taken the defective piece. After 1hr they called me and said it's working fine with their receiver and asked me to come with another speaker and my receiver. When I went there they connected my another speaker with their receiver and tested both of them then they found it has got a problem. This happened on 20th May.
I gave them both the speakers and came home. Next day they called me and said there are black 9.6 available. By the time I reach their, They tried to give me one which is a demo piece. I said no. Why would I take old one for new price.

Finally they said they need to send that speaker to mumbai and need to be checked there. I asked them how long it my take? They said it may take maximum of 1 week. From the 28th May I have been calling them about the status they have been saying they dispatched speaker from mumbai. Same response for 1 week Got frustrated and went to their shop i.e 3rd June. Now they are telling the speaker which they sent to mumbai was not delivered to mumbai office. So I asked how long it may take? they said once they receive it they will check and send me the new speaker again... OMG!!!!

I got really frustrated and not getting any thoughts even, So I asked them to cancel the order. They said It's not possible to cancel the order. After some discussions finally they cancelled my order by taking 1000/- for shipping charges and transferred the money. I got the money yesterday 7th June.

Now I need suggestions to complete my speaker package.

I have two options now

Tannoy Mercury V4= Rs36000/-
Tannoy Mercury VC=Rs14000/-
Tannoy Mercury VR= Rs10000/-(Pair)
Velodyne Impact 10=Rs25000/-

Other option Boston Acoustics (High gloss finish)

A250 Front
a25 Surround
a225c Center
asw250 Sub woofer

Can you guys suggest which one is best with my ONKYO. Can you guys suggest any other speaker set which matches well with ONKYO
 
Hi Chandu,

Try B&W, they match Onkyo AVRs very well. No wonder Onkyo used to market B&W.

I dont know about Hyderabad, but I am sure you can get B&Ws for your AVR depending on your budget.

Regards

Congrats on your purchase, I head good things about onkyo and tannoy combo. Did you audition before placing the order ? Can you share the experience ?
 
Congrats Chandu! After the horrific experience with Vector I hope you are going to get a nice treatment from Lokesh. I just spoke to him about your deal and guess he is going to include some goodies for you.
