Got the 5.1 set for less than 48k. Another set left with the distributor in pune for those interested. From what he said along with the speakers pioneer shoves other aparently non moving items (av receivers, bd, dvd players) down the distributors throat! I saw bulk of these in his stocks.
He was not ready to sell only floorstanding speakers as then there aren't many takers for other speakers.

Great purchase, congrats!!!!
Idont know if u still hv window to negotiate, try to pay 46k. I got 5.0 in 35k, and being offered sub in 11k, so it is 46k , and i still hv window of further negotiation of 500 bucks, so it could b 45.5k. Try it. Other wise 46 is also not that bad

Bought mine 5.1 for 45K from Geo enterprises.
I am not sure, it could be a problematic sub. The subs driver was moving too much when the volume was increased yet there was not much sound. With increased volume it was distorting too much also all the time the sub kept moving/slipping on the carpet because of vibration.

well i think you increased the gain too much from AVR side and as well as sub side.
when i brought this sub for trial, it was same for me.
i reduced gain from AVR side (in range of -8 dB) and at 10 o clock position on SUB. and it was OK.
though when i turned to music and d2h with same settings i felt bass was almost absent, i don't know if it is normal, as i am just new to all this.
can anyone more knowledgeble throw light on it?
Or LFE track is very heavy in this particular movie?

not got a chance still to test the sub. But I ended up buying pioneer BS-22 today. So collected pioneer Andrew Jones 5.0.
i am going to be kicked out of house pretty soon...
You are going to use AJ 5.0 with your YHT-299?
Yes, now i have paired by AJ 5.0 with YHT-299 supplied Yamaha AVR (HTR-3066). Yesterday i replaced my FS with the BS. I could see much improved performance especially the BASS while playing music with my AVR which was not evident with the FS-52.
I think it may be because the AVR doesn't have that power to drive the FS while it could easily drive the BS hence there was a vast improvement in the bass section.
Having said, this, i have then replaced the BS to the rear section and saw few minutes of transformer movie. It was good all round and I am happy with my purchase.
Eventually i would like to setup the YHT-299 to another room, so thaat I can use a new AVR to drive the AJ5.0.

Any HFV folks/dealers got a pair in chennai I can listen to 
?
?Hello,
You won't go wrong with Andrew Jones designed pioneer speakers. They are great audio bargains.
I did want to make comment that the separation of "this %' for movies and 'this %' music is a false separation.
Any speakers that reproduce music well will do great for home theater.
Anyone who says a set of speakers are better for home theater is usually listening to the one-dimensional 'boom' from the speakers/subwoofer and being superficially impressed. Long term this sort of reproduction will leave you wanting.
Movies soundtracks are voice and music (and explosions). Good bass reproduction for music will result in good bass reproduction for explosions.
Good voice and instruments reproduction will result in good music and good movie dialog and soundtrack.

If you just need the Floor standers, check avenuesound.in, get in touch with Aashish Hingorani. HT STORE in JP Nagar 7th phase has the AJ designed Bookshelves but not FS, I'm planning to buy mine next Nov.
