new kind of white van scam?

[that70sguy]

I may be totally wrong, but this ad looks suspicious to me.

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ele/1420548797.html

can anyone verify these as B&W speakers? Seller doesn't give a model number and they don't look like any B&Ws I've seen. Can this be a white van speaker labeled as a legitimate brand? If so, they've sunk to new lows.

Probably Browers & Welkins ;-)

Never seen Bowers and Wilkins that look like that.

Just for grins I searched on
Dimensions: Height 850mm, Width 236mm, Depth 407mm

and looks results match up with the DM630i.

beyond that who knows.

I do notice the badging seems different on the comparative grills and back labels.

Yeah, those are B&W. Black speakers from a White van.

 

[cwall99]

Yeah. Though they do appear to have dual binding posts as many B&W speakers have. It's just that the image quality is so low you can't really tell much from the photos.

all it takes is a little googling and you'll see that they are indeed B&W, not White Van :thumbsdn:

B&W DM630's

Shazam!

Just based on the wpc rating I would immediately guess they are not white van. All of the white van speakers I have seen have really high max. wpc compared to the price. Too good to be true usually is...especially with white van speakers.

As too often happens, the White Van sirens were sounded in error. The knee-jerk is getting tiresome. Did anyone email the seller and actually ask for info or better pics? Prolly not.
