Sandy, Jimmy, you must mean the oddballs from this thread. I still can't believe the claimed specs- or the MSRPs- on these things.
If anyone's interested, they're from NBS Electronics, a company whose initials just scream for the kind of zingers we usually reserve for Bose.
Cheers.

P.S. Here's a pic of their line. The duo on the left retail for over 100 large! :screwy:
"Sound is not everything???!! I thought that is why we called it audio! We don't listen with our eyes! For a speaker, to me, sound IS everything. That is a speakers job.
I don't mind if a speaker looks good, but I wouldn't want to accept that sound isn't everything. It's everything in my book; closing your eyes and having the music palpable. "
My reasoning is simple and straight forward: By the same token, speed is not everything for car; cleaning strength is not everything for soap; thus sound is not everything for speaker.

The Giant Tit Subwoofer
This thread about ugly-ass speakers reminded me of "The Speakers of Joly" and I just HAD to post this [NOTE: The following in ALL CAPS was actually posted by Mr. Joly himself]:
Newsgroups: rec.audio.opinion
Date: 1996/08/19
THE SPEAKER OF JOLY RECENTLY ARE PROOFED TO HEALP AGAINST AIDS. WHILE
THE INTERNATIONAL NEWSGROUPS ARE REJECTING THE SPEAKER OF ALL THE TIME, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN THAT OTHER SPEAKERS ARE MAKING HEADACHE AS THE INFINITY QUANTUM REFERENCE STANDARD AND NO GOOD AT ALL WE HAVE BENN LUCKY TO SEE THAT OUR SPEAKER IS GOOD AGAINST ALL. AS WE TOLD IT HELPS THE BRAIN COOLING DOWN AND NO STRESS WHILE LISTENING, YOU BELIEVE IT HELPS FOR STAYING SANE. THE AMERICAN DON*T LIKE JOLY WITH SPEAKERS SO BETTER THAN OTHER FOR NOT MUCH EXPENSIVE.
RECENTLY THE PRESIDENT CLINTON WANTED TO BUY SOME FOR MAKING BETTER
POLITICS, BUT FBI TOLD HIM NOT TO DO AS BELIEVING THE SPEAKERS OF JOLY
REALY MAGIC POWER BUT AFRAID OF FOREIGN MANIPULATION: THIS AS PROOF FOR THE QUALITIY, BUT JOLY SWEAR NOT TO MANIPULATE ANY PARTY BUT ONLY WANT TO MAKE HAPPY THE WHOLE WORLD. BUT THIS IS NOT SEEN WELL BY CIA, AS THEN NO MORE ANIMIES ARE IN THE WORLD AND NO MORE WEAPONS CAN BE BOUGHT, ALL THE MONEY FREE FOR USE TO BUY JOLY SPEAKERS."
Now, my comments: Well, I'll be damned: Speakers that protect against AIDS and will bring about world peace as well.
This idiot (Mr. Joly) even exhibited at the Alexis Park at the 1996 CES and he even showed a prototype subwoofer that looked like a giant tit.
The high point of his demo was the Sansui 5000A receiver he was using for electronics and the $100 CD player to try and sell his multi-thousand dollar speakers. Virtually everyone left his room in hysterical laughter and Mr. JOLY never got it.
And if you think Mr. Joly's posting in rec.audio.opinion was strange, just visit the company's website at www.joly.com.tw/
