Mat-with-one-t 1,302 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Ok. Inspired by the thread here: And by the list supplied in the thread of known “White Van” hifi “company” names (thanks Bill) https://m.facebook.com/whitevanspeakersaus/posts/known-white-van-speaker-brands-include3d-opticsacoustic-revolutionaffinitive-aud/1642904572661164/ I thought I might start a “Who can come up with the best (worst?) fake “White Van” company name? I’ll collate them in a list here in this post. Give us a description as to how you created it in your contribution! Maybe I can then formulate an algorithm that can be applied to sniff out a fake! For example, I’ll open the batting using this formula: European sounding name + something scientific sounding + random advertising-sounding word = Anders Audiology Solutions Give it a go!

Mat-with-one-t 1,302 Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Ok. Once we have a nice big list, maybe we need a vote. Best White Van brand can then maybe get a logo made from a clever graphics person here? Then we can make an ad description for a product, then off to Aldi car park in West Heidelberg for the launch! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Mickstuh 139 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I bought a pair once. Supposedly night club speakers. They went very loud without distortion and had heaps of bass. Suited me perfectly at the time. Ran them for years and years. Just about the best value I've ever had in this game. Not kidding. Link to post Share on other sites
