Strength:
Nicely balanced, good all-round speakers.
Weakness:
Nothing considering I was given them as payment for a debt! I''m not sure if all of you are talking about the same speakers!? I think you guys were flogged a cheap imitation or you''re not hooking them up to a decent system or something! I was given them by a friend and i was very surprised at the quality. And as far as the bass goes... it was shaking my next-door neighbours pictures ''off the wall''! Ok... they are not the BEST speakers I have ever heard, but they are damn good! Serves you lot right for buying from a ''white van man'', next time buy GENUINE Dynalab. Similar Products Used: Mission |

Strength:
Absolutely nothing. Cheap imitation of Yamaha speakers.
Weakness:
No Bass reproduction. Terrible treble. These are the worst speakers I''ve ever listened to. They carry no bass reproduction, the midrange is ok, and the high treble is aweful. I feel sorry for anyone who considers buying a pair of these hunks of crap. Similar Products Used: Klipsch RF-3, JBL Towers, Utah towers |

Shiny green van they were transported in.(VW or Merc.)
Weakness:
My stupidity (I'm seeking therapy) The same old shyte... over-stocked by 2 units of 2 different speakers, pushy, yet friendly "salespeople". I first refused, the continual badgering made me wary but the brain just didn't click. I guess these blokes must have completed a course in picking out the most gullible fools from the crowd... never again will I buy anything from the back of a van.... only at the local pub.

None.

None. Wow, I can't believe it. I got approached by the apparently famous "white van" at a gas station in the Milwaukee area yesterday. $1200 speakers, they said "extra from an installation they just did". Started talking real fast when I started asking questions - they said the speakers were set up so that even if you put them into the low-level outputs of a TV, you "still got the full 200 watts". I said, "oh, so they're amplified then?" "No,...blah blah blah". I stopped listening. Told them I didn't have any cash, since I had just paid off a bunch of Christmas bills. I checked their web site, and then checked this site today, and have never been so glad to be strapped for cash. Similar Products Used: The cardboard boxes that my Paradigms came in, apparently. |

Price, Sound and Warranty
Weakness:
The way that they are sold I have been following this thread for awhile now and it just dawned on me why there are so many whiners posting here. I purchase a set of these speakers 5 months ago. Paid a fair price for them $400 and have enjoyed them ever since. I don't consider myself an audiophile but I do have a broad experience in music and understand that depending on what type of music that is being played ALL speakers will display some weaknesses. For those of you who come here whining about the product I have but one question? Why didn't you think about what your needs were before you purchased them? I think that the ones here that are protesting so much thought they were getting something for nothing??? If that is the case then maybe it is like the saying about the first one to smell a fart is the one that let it. For all of the others you should take the speaker out of the box... if you actually purchased them (some of the reviewers here start out saying that they never have purchased them but then go on to say how bad the product is???) I think the bottom line is that if you pay a decent price for them and they suit your needs. The product is as good as any other out there. If you thought you were getting something for nothing then you are an idiot and some of you here have proven that to be correct by reviewing products that you have neither seen nor heard. The product is warrantied for five years, you recieve a reciept that entitles you to the same rights as if you purchased them in a store and personally I like the way mine sound. Guess I am just more realistic than some of the whiners here. Similar Products Used: Bose, KLH, Klipsch |

Strength:
Nice speaker cabinet.
Weakness:
Everything else. I was suckered like everyone else. I couldn't pass up a good deal. I called the company and it all seemed legit. To my suprise, I found this site and it turns out that it is not. What to do in a situation like this. I could throw them out along with $200, or make the best of a situation. Similar Products Used: There are none on the market. |

The three lowlifes that gave me the hard sell...
Weakness:
...it worked. What can I say, i got suckered in as well. I let my guard down for one second thinking something good was happening to me, 99 times out of 100 I would have questioned their motives. In the end they took £200 off me, as well as my car stereo (which wasn't working in any case) and my mono video recorder. I MUST HAVE HAD "MUG" WRITTEN ON MY FACE. Similar Products Used: none |
