Great shopping experience of speakers with amazing discounts - Rajan & Co

 It was after the suggestion of a friend that I went to Rajan & Co to buy an amplifier and speakers. Their staff and the owner were much helpful to select the product which I really want for my use, they helped me by giving demo on different models and speaker options. They never hesitate to give alternative options but very happily and politely kept showing me the options until I finalized my speakers. The salesmen were really nice people.
