THEIR EXISTENCE Don't be a sucker to these Dynalab snake oil salesmen. I had asked to listen to them and after a brief protest about being in a hurry, they complied. I know this was outside in a van, but I could easily tell that the sound quality was poor. The lows were moderately powerful but very muddy. the mids were almost non-existent and the highs were annoying. I had also asked them to disassemble the cabinents for a look and and they refused with some BS about these are "high end" speakers and that would void the warranty. Of course they didn't remember bragging about how easily the user could service them at the beginning. Similar Products Used: GE clock radio |

Bass, looks, hook-ups, highs
Weakness:
can't find a place to get more of them I bought a pair of these last year for $420 in front of a restaruant. I was sketchy at first but after hooking them up I was glad to pay for them. After playing with my EQ the highs are crystal clear and the bass is awesome. I wonder if some of the posters on this page are even opened up the box and actually listened to them. When I see another Dynalab van around I'm going to flag them down. |

Scam Two guys in a white van tried scamming me to buy a pair of speakers that were "extras" from an already paid for delivery. After showing an ad from the back of some Audiophile magazine with speakers priced at $1,200 they tried to sell them to me for $600. They even offered to follow me to an ATM to get the money. I declined the offer. |

quality I can't belive I fell for this one. Same van guy story. I hooked them up and the sound was not what I expected. Boomy bass, no mids, sharp highs. I Found this site when searching for a review. My jaw hit the floor. I reached in the port hole and felt the tiny crossover and micro hookup wire. |

What need is there for censorship? Is there something wrong with someone actually enjoying their deal. I think a good portion of the posters here have never even listened to the speakers! They probably saw this site and panicked. My advise is listen to the dynalabs and compare them to other speakers connected to a similar reciever. Then decide, then post here. |

Can you tell man from man, right from wrong, dispute your own estate? In other words ... ARE YOU CRAZY?!
Weakness:
Takes up space in the trash can. Don't buy them. Don't violate yourself, your manhood (or womanhood). To those that earn minimum wage, these will cost you one week's pay, 40 hours of sweat. For what, for those low-life pushers to laugh at you when they sit back into their van, for you to haul home a pile of firewood (except we use gas now). I object to those reviews below that, as self-consolation, assess these speakers to be "actually worth" $100 or $150: If you would not have bought them knowing what they really were, then their worth to you is actually ZERO -- because they are not what you want. Fight back! Fight for your lives! Or you would have just sweated and got ordered around (by your boss or customers, whatever the case may be for 40 hours for someone's else's big laugh.

The value of these speakers influenced my decision to buy. I am glad I did! The sound is excellent. |

I too was sold speakers from a salesman in a van. However, I really do like the sound of them and for what I paid they are an outstanding value. |
