Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $350.00 from White Van

Summary:
WOW what can I say I got scammed, I actually thought that these were amazing speakers, i compared them to my 10in JBLs and these rocked, although back five, six years ago I had no idea what a "refined" audiophile sound was, I was happy, it just needed to be lound and sound good without distortion.

These didn't sound bad at all, when compared to likes of POLK LSI there is a huge difference in sound almost as big of a difference as bose, these are probably as bad or for some as good as bose.

I'd say if you spend $200-300 on these and they lasted you at least 5 years, you got a deal. Ignorance is bliss it helps when you don't know that white van speakers are a scam. I bet most would be happy if they bought them at audio boutique for 2-3 hundred.

Strengths:
The SDA model has two 8inch woofers, Midrange and tweeter, can sound very loud without distortion, great for parties. I have powered mine with HK and then Denon 3803 receiver and was always happy. I would like to give them more than 3 or 4 stars but when the company lies to you its impossible.

Weaknesses:
These don't have a linear response in any way. They exagerate what they feel like exagerating. You do have to watch out for the impedance as it dips to 4ohm when playing loud. My denon receiver would shut down after an hour at maximum volume unless I provided additional ventilation. I also tried them with ADCOM and SONY worked fine without shutting down.

Similar Products Used:
None, but you can count JBL, Infinity, POLK, Bose is in the same league

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.
