Terrific purchase. Pounding bass.no need of subwoofer in small rooms.
Great. How much does Norge 1000 cost?
What are your thoughts on sound quality of amplifier?
You have it too? Its a terrific budget speaker, aint it? Just the right amount of everything.
what do you think about the build quality?
I had purchased Norge 1000 for 13.5k + 750 shipping charge (to Bangalore) one and half years ago. I sold it to a friend of mine last year. It was my first stereo amplifier and sounded excellent with lots of power. Used it with pioneer floor standers fs52. Excellent combination. But I never connected a DAC into that system. If you use any budget DACs like schiit modi, KTB it will sound even better.
Thanks. Which one are you using now?
Now I am using marantz pm6006 + castle knight 2 speakers for stereo listening. DACs schiit modi 3 and ifi Zen blue for Bluetooth streaming.

Costed me 15000/- inclusive freight 14500+500. I use it as external amp to my denon av receiver. Good power for the money.

Yes, today received the courier. Hifimart sent through FedEx. Packaging is nice. Watched the review in next big thing studio channel on YouTube and just ordered it. Huge upgrade from my earlier pioneer fs52 and mission lx2. Now lx2 are working as surrounds. The Looks and Build quality are simply top notch. I kept those beauties on some bulky iron wall stands. Should buy 2 nice glass stands for mounting them. 28000 is just so good and lot less money when compared to their build and sound quality. Its a happy purchase overall.
Thats great. Huge upgrade over the lx2 for not so much more money. Its the speaker to buy if you want overall sound quality with great musicality and aren’t finicky about any particular sound signature or one quality over all others.
its got the right dose of excitement (mostly attributable to the treble), good midrange and vocals, a deep soundstage and impeccable fit and finish except for those horrendous magnetic grills. Then again, you wouldn’t want to hide that gorgeous fascia with any grills in the first place.
I don’t think the overall sound quality that the QX2s produce can be improved up convincingly to justify an upgrade by spending less than 1L. You’ll not need to upgrade for a very long time and can focus on other components of the system.
On another note, Im glad this speaker is finding many new happy homes. Such a great product needs to be recognised rather than being relegated to the throngs of obscurity. Its the sub 30k speaker to beat.

I'm a bit unclear with the replies (since there are a lot of combos mentioned), so what exactly is a good setup with these speakers? What all do I need minimum (for decent sound)?

dude, for the requisite budget, your options are rather limited:
1. Marantz NR1509 (cuz it has preouts and out of the box also, it has liveable stereo performance)
2. hdmi to optical splitter with a Marantz pm6006
3. Yamaha WXC50 paired with a stereo amp (something like a Norge/Crown/Marantz) or WXA50.
4. Marantz NR1200 or Denon DRA800H
No point going for a cheap AV receiver without Pre outs because you just won't be able to make peace with the stereo performance and cannot attach a power amplifier later to add to the performance either. Save up and make a one time purchase..
For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
