I am in the same boat as above all. I am looking for a speaker and it can be 5.1/7.1 due to space issues. So, I think bookshelf speakers will be a good choice. Any recommendations? I am confused between Swan M10, Swans d1010mkii, Swans d1080mkii and AudioEngine A2.

Sorry mate, no longer available. Although the Audioengine A2+ is available in amazon at a very hefty price.
If you have followed this thread then you might know that I had purchased a set of Swan d1010mkii and was very happy with the sound quality. The only problem was the loud pop that the speakers emitted during switch off :angry_NF:. So I returned them :devil_NF: and now researching for viable alternatives. The swan m10 is very popular among the audiophile community and is also reasonably priced. The d1080 on the other hand are almost twice as expensive and only marginally better due to the 2.0 configuration and stereo bass. The major problem is that all the good speakers are either no longer available in India or prohibitively expensive :drool_NF:. Sigh :crying2_NF:

An update.
I followed up with the Pristine Note guys on the popping issue yet again.
they say that Swans has confirmed this as a non-issue and is a result of the capacitors discharging. Swans has also said that this will not harm the speakers in any way.
I will still say that this is just bad design.

Well, let me receive my m10. Then everything will be clear.
The only reason I returned the d1010mkii was this popping issue and there was no response from the seller regarding the same. Besides it was the last day for any refund requests to be made.

I have also talked with Hifinage, the authorized seller for Swans products in India about the popping issue. They informed me that this is due to the class AB amplifier (very powerful) used in the speakers and advised to keep the volume+bass at zero before switching the speakers on/off. But the d1010mkii had the problem even after doing so, so it must have been be a defect. BTW, the m10s are going to arrive by 29th of this month

Got the speakers today
On listening to these one thing became apparent: nothing can beat a decent 2.0 system in music. Although this new system is somewhat better than the d1010 but the stereo bass was better for music. Now trying to position the speakers properly.

2. Do you prefer music or movies?
3. Budget?
I bought the speakers @7250 from amazon.in. (The seller being Hifinage)
The seller shipped the item via dotzot on 18th of March and I got them today, 1st April. There was some problem with the courier service that resulted in the delay, but all is well that ends well
, right?

try and shift the woofer below the table.
Are the main speakers the same size as the D1010??

The manufacturer insists that the woofer be kept on the table for the perfect listening experience. Still will give it a shot.
No, they were much bigger- the m10 satellites are approximately 60-70% of the d1010. I don't know how to put this, but the d1010 sounded more full bodied(for the lack of a better word). Don't get me wrong, the m10s are really a treat to the ears with more bass (both quality and quantity) but still I would choose the d1010 any time of the day due to the stereo bass. Or did the long gap between hearing the d1010 and the m10 confuse me :thinking_NF

For the 2.1 setup the Logitech z623 will be good for movies. Rs. 7200
For the 2.0 setup go for the Swans d1080 Rs.12500

Sure, this system is a great balance between music and gaming and you get the best of both worlds, well almost.

i was guessing as much.
i would trade a 2.1 system for a 2.0 system anyday.
