I was so preoccupied with the sound quality that I forgot to mention a very important issue that was reported in your review too. There is kind of a "pop" every time I switch these speakers off. It happens only during the power off process and not during power on. Maybe there is no "mute" circuit for the transients. I talked with the customer care executive of Flipkart and he said that this is common to all loudspeakers. Should I worry about it?

Update: Feeling very sad- returning my beloved swans speakers tomorrow :crying_NF:
Summary: For the short time that I had with these speakers, I was introduced to a whole new world of clarity. It made me realize the significance of 2.0 bookshelf speakers and what I was missing for all these days. But there was this weird popping sound everytime I switched them off :confused_NF:. I tried contacting the seller, but there was no response from their side :thinking_NF:. This forced me to return the speakers while the 10 day return policy was still valid . Don't know why every good thing is accompanied by an equally bad one.

That is what I thought initially and didn't pay attention to the issue. Then a google search revealed how this is going to spoil the tweeter over time. I therefore thought that I should contact the seller about the issue. But they didn't respond and the flipkart cc said for either a replacement or a refund. I couldn't risk it again and thus chose for a refund.

I am thinkining of getting either the swans m10 or extending the budget and getting the d1080. I have heard that the m10 is very good for music and is also 5K less than the d1080. Besides, there is no other option.
Why don't we Indians get options like Dayton, polk, pioneer, mackie, audioengines, etc online for resonable prices? They are available yes, but are prohibitively expensive. I think there is enough demand and someone could take the initiative.

I am at a loss 
. Cannot decide between the swans m10 or d1080. Most reviewers claim that the m10 is equivalent to the d1080 but with a very sightly weaker mids but better lows. Highs are comparable on both. Besides the m10 also costs almost 50% less than the d1080. The edifiers don't have any reivews and MAudio Studiophile AV40 is very pricey and i think it cannot be better than the swans d1080. Any other alternatives?

Besides, the following were also noteworthy:
Harman Kardon Soundsticks: Rs.9000
Circle Arko 100W: Rs.7000 (really amazing deal on flipkart at that time)
Audioengine A2: Rs.10000
My friends are recommending the Logitech Z623 and I don't know what to say.
What did you get finally?
