After the review was wriiten, one of the guys who had bought a set , albeit at a pawn shop for $ 60, and after trying every trick in the book to 'fix' them, finally took my advice and used them as kindling.
After having read so much about white van speaker scams I actually got to experience it first hand while at a gas station last week. Two guys in a WHITE van pulled up alongside and wanted to know if I needed a home theater system and that they were selling an original MSRP $2000 system for $500....because they needed the money. I politely declined much to their dismay and said I had about 30 pairs at home and was willing to sell them some if they would provide their contacts!! They sped off to find other potential victims...
jimdaskal thanks for the entertaining reviews on eBay, I'm a bit confused though, you mention "....the internal electronics such as the crossovers.....".
Is that what capacitors are called nowadays?
I was oversimplying for the E Bay audience - I'm surprised the White Van Crowd doesn't use WonderCaps 2007 to go along with the 'Silver and Platinum heat resistant wiring" - probably pulled off the distributors caps of authentic 67 Pontiac GTO's lol
