I want to extend a very well deserved applause to Team Sound by Design, Gurugram, New Delhi. I went for an audition on 04 Jan 2020 to their studio and I am more than satisfied for their excellent hospitality and professionalism. I shall be sharing my experience in the form of a time line.
Pre appointment discussions:
At the initial stage I contacted Mr Siddharth regarding my requirement of an AVR and speaker combination. He seemed to be a very mature and calm person and briefly explained the nuances of technicality involved in the selection and finalisation of the components.
Subsequently I got in touch with Mr. Vinay, another gem in the team. I bombarded him with various queries pertaining to Avr and speakers. But he painstakingly explained everything, sometimes even when he was on leave and away from Delhi.
Making an appointment:
Making an appointment was a breeze and I travelled almost 100 km crossing thick Delhi traffic to reach their studio after a hectic working day for the audition.
The location and convenience:
The location was easy to navigate and can be approached in a four wheeler. There was ample parking space available. To the extent, there was a person from the studio at the road head to welcome and guide me inside.
Studio setup:
The studio is located at the basement of the residence. It’s was adequately spaced and laid out. There were two separate rooms for auditions. One was for stereo and other was for Movie with surrounds. There was also a display area where eqpt were laid out. All the rooms were equipped with comfortable sitting arrangements.
Audition process:
Here I met the most jovial and enthusiastic member of the team, Mr Kartik. He was very well behaved and knowledgeable. Never shied away from any query and we went through an exhaustive 2 hours of audition. It involved multiple speakers and amps. Even he allowed my amp and CDs to be played with the chosen speakers. He explained in depth the various components and their influences over audio quality. It speaks volumes about his knowledge and ability that I ended up buying Dali Spektor 6 in place of Polk T50 ( I went there to buy T50 or Z3 ). He was never assertive about any of the speakers but gently guided me to choose the right speaker palatable to my music taste. He also gave me tour of the studio explaining other high end audio eqpt.
Payment:
I opted for bank transfer and debit card payment. They also had the option for EMI.
Summary:
To sum up my experience with Sound by Design I can say that I went to buy a speaker and ended up making good friends. They are thorough professionals but function in a homely atmosphere that is bound to make any potential customer comfortable.
A big thumbs up for Team Sound by Design.
