EBAY Speaker systems i've never heard of!

[PhilV91]

I found two speaker companies ive never heard of for sale on ebay. One is called Cadence Acoustic Systems. They said they sell direct and the 19 series looks tight for a 5 speaker system for $500 total. If you don't know them maybe you can check it out and tell me what you think by the pictures and specs they show in their ebay store. The other was Vaus audio. I found them in the All About Audio store on ebay. They had high end looking speakers and vaus audio has their own website. It looks kinda shady to me. One model they had was the VA-6000. If anybody has heard anything about these or would please check out the ebay sales or the vaus audio website and tell me what you think!

hmmm. have seen them around before, but havent heard them setup.
Me personally, i wouldnt run anything that isnt heard of much, the whole reason why the top manufactures are the top is due to their high quality productions, if something is unheard of then it may be due to poor qualities. if it was a top quality bit of kit then it would be a well known brand. if thats helped you out. all in all they dont look too bad. but its still a no no to me

I smell white van speakers :)

I agree sounds like white van.

"COMPATIBLE WITH DIGITAL SURROUND SYSTEMS"
"1" Soft Silk Dome Neodymium Tweeter with Ferro Fluid Cooling"

I'd say any speaker with fluid cooling is a good candidate.

[R-Carpenter]

Not necessarily.
You hear about other manufacturers because of the amount of money that goes in to commercial advertisement and creating demand.
I looked at their center channel and it's quite possible to manufacture and sell at this price. (China) Don't think it's going to be anything special but probably quite compatible with $300 equal from Best Buy or circuit City.
Buy it with credit card through Pay Pall. Return it if you don't like it (they have return option) and if they prove to be difficult, back charge it.

That isn't true. My dad's older Onkyo speakers have ferro fluid cooled tweeters.

MCM and a few other vendors sell Ferro fluid and a syringe. It's not expensive, either.

Interesting. I stand corrected. I definitely never knew that. I think I'll keep my mouth shut next time. What about the "compatible digital surrounds system" part though. Isn't that rule number 3 in the Audioholics "Top Ten Things to Avoid in Home Audio Loudspeakers (most cases)"? Or is this a "most case"?

Since I own some EMP's you would think that I would be more open minded on this type of thing.

I have heard of Cadence, but I am not sure if it's the same cadence. I suggest you stick to brands that are known or at least reviewed. You can always try calling or emailing the company.

here are some other speakers that also use ferrofluid cooled tweeters

I doubt many people here would consider Swan speakers to be junk.

Cadance is a fairly new speaker company that was an offshoot of another well known brand (forget which one though) they have donw some advertising in HT Magazine and full page ads in Sound and Vision Mag. I couldn't tell you more than that though, and I never heard of the other speaker company. But with speakers I feel yu should hear them first before buying them (unless they are highly regarded on A/V sites like AV123, SVS and others who have great customer support and a good return policy.
