Review 2 of 14

Price Paid:  $0.00 from Found at E.M.U Campu

Summary:
Ok you all may have been scammed by these guys but not me....i have heard of the stories and i truely believe them....i am 18 and have been employed at Suburban Electronics in Michigan for the last 6 years...I came across these speakers from a friend of mine at E.M.U....he had found them in the garbage on the Campus and just simply donated them to me to se what i could do with them.....the first thing i had noticed was, the crossovers were totally wrong....thank god the colleges kids had only tripped the make-shift relay in there, and nothing was blown...The first thing i did was consult my good friends over at Fox,Int''l inc. and ordered the CORRECT capacitors and Power Resistors in its place. To my Dismay, the speakers were reading at 32 Ohms.....for you Dumb-Audio phreaks, this is increddibly high (like blow your outputs high)...so then i had to go to Almas Hi-Fi (very hi-end shop), and talk to a buddy of mine there....needless to say the Crossovers i had made were in fact correct, per-say...but in the same sense they were wrong...With a little patience and a little prior knowlege, i was able to get them to come around...to make a long story short, i have made these junk-ola speakers into MACKDADDY SLAMMERS, for only 50$....hehehe

Strengths:
Nice looking, decent for the average audio nut....

Weaknesses:
built like junk, waaaaay over-rated....and a major pain in the crack...

Review 3 of 14

Price Paid:  $300.00 from Black Market

Summary:
A guy in a blue Chevy Astro Van drove up to me at Metro Center Mall and said "I need to deliver four speakers and I have four pairs of speakers and need to get rid of two pair before delivery". He showed paperwork and copies of business license. He said these are $949 speakers and he will sell me a pair for $300. I though at the time was a good deal until I started doing research. I think I am a real idiot now! Remember one of them drove a blue Chevy Astro Van. If I find the guy he screwed over the wrong person.

Review 5 of 14

Price Paid:  $300.00 from Black Market

Summary:
Buyer's beware. These speakers are nothing but junk. The guys selling these are running a hardcore SCAM on poeple who
are looking for a good deal. These speakers are being sold through out Arizona by a couple of young guys in a van. They
claim that they have some extra speakers and that they have to get rid of them fast before they have to report back to their boss. They will tell you that the speakers have a retail value of $949.00 and they will show you a bogus invoice to fool you.****THIS IS A SCAM****DO NOT FALL FOR IT. These guy should be shot for pulling crap like this on people.If you run into these people you should rob them for all the money they are scamming off people.

Strengths:
They LOOK like really nice speakers.

Weaknesses:
EVERYTHING

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 balanced interconnects Review

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
