He was more than happy with them. Moral being: the people who buy 'White Van' or other generic speakers, really don't care. And as for the original speakers in this thread... Hey, we all know people who those speakers would be a big upgrade from what they now have. a flat I lived in in London had a pair of those & we had dozens of parties, hammering the heck out of them. The sound was just fine for a room packed with people & blasting dance music. Drove em with an old 50w NAD. Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serioushifi1553552742 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 "Thanks - but no thanks - you answered my question, I suspect you were probably had by the previous seller. They are most likely "White Van Speakers". FWIW if you look at auction 248465297 you will see someone selling some very similar speakers to these (albeit with minor differences in appearance & a different brand name sticker), but selling I suspect for a price that better reflects their value...? :-) Anyway - Good Luck with the auction!"
