Not a Loudspeaker but a worldwide sales con! Conned by two guys, wearing Dynalab shirts, in a white Dynalab van.Stopped in Cobham village, Surrey,they had also sold in Esher & on their way to Weybridge. |

The white van was very clean
Weakness:
Every sound that came out of the speaker including the loud and unrefined bass This very professional looking white van approached me at a restaurant and the 2 guys gave me this high pressure pitch. The speakers looked good and the guys initially started at $1200.00. I laughed and started to walk away. Then they lowered to $675.00 and I didn't turn around. Eventually they worked their way down to $200.00 and I told them that I would give them "$120.00, take it or leave it". They accepted. I got them home, hooked them up to my all Onkyo system and they sounded like crap. Even though I paid only $120.00 I feel as though I was ripped off. These speakers are worth about $25.00 a piece and that is retail. I took these apart and figured out that these probably costed them about $15.00 a piece.

I have compared these to other speakers. What probably gave them the best run was a $600 set of JBL's, but even the JBL's started distorting at high levels and the highs were not as clear as the Dynalabs. I don't know what you are doing with these speakers but you gotta realize they are not stand alone speakers, they're home theatre. I use them as my fronts in my living room and for the money they are the best I have found. |

They get ya with their flashy AD!!
Weakness:
everything Well these stupid guys came up to me while i was driving and the second i stopped they asked me to check out these speakers. they looked okay but i was not interested. at first they wanted to sell me these pieces of crap for $800. but the truth of it is the're worth about $25 bucks and probably cost $10 to make. watch out for their ad, it gets ya. i was thinking, hell sell these things on Ebay. well when i found this review page i instantly went for the REFUND! if you get lucky (like i did) you should go for the refund. you have 3 days. hopefully they won't try anything tomorrow when i take the speakers in for my $250.00 refund. I feel sorry for anyone who falls for their scam. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD OF THESE SCAM ARTISTS!!!!! Similar Products Used: 1980's clock radio speakers |

To the anonymous poster who insist in using my name. Here's an idea. Why don't we just stop this going back and forth. You don't like the speakers, I do. |

Strength:
bass, highs
Weakness:
not magnetically shielded (I think of getting supplies at a hardware store to do it myself) When I first saw this page I panicked thinking I too had been taken! I called the office and asked about a return. I told the manager I had seen this site and knew the scam, he told me to hold the speakers for a few days, listen to them, and then if I wanted to bring them back I could. I then hooked them up and was actually impressed! While I think someone would be crazy to pay $1195 for them, I think they're worth my $300 (and the $20 for beer money.) |

Just an all around joke. Please note that any postive review or even neutral review of these products are done by "Ray" or "Dan". These must be the managers at the Jam Enterprises. I must admit that Ray was right when he says that the buyer did not have a problem with ripping off the manufacturer, but when you find out that you are the one scammed, then all hell breaks loose. If you were an honest person to begin with you would have never bought anything from these white vans. They sale trash but they will also give your money back when you have your receipt. No questions asked. Live and learn. Luckily I saw these reviews before the 3 day cancellation period. If you still have time TAKE THE JUNK back. They will give you your money. This must be how they keep it legal. Oh Well. Beter Luck Next Time. Similar Products Used: 10 year old clock radio. |
