Are These Finds Good Deals?

[Pogre]

There are people out there occupied all day just waiting for a deal ... but the + sign is not by the number on his picture

He texted me back again and said he bought it last year so not the new one.

@Pogre I picked up these wharfdale diamond 9.5 towers, 9.1 bookshelves, 9cs center and diamond Sw10 sub for $500 nzd ($339 USD)

 

[Pogre]

I just posted in your thread. That's an awesome score!

 

[cerwinmad]

The sub won't be used but it's a very pretty driver!

Gorgeous speakers, Sonus Faber Cremona:

I really dig the finish but $4K for a (nearly) 20-year-old pair of speakers is a little too dear (they retailed for $7500 in 2003). The seller has a pretty good setup as well: Bel Canto, PrimaLuna, REL...

"Honest" white van speakers?? Guy wants a hundred bucks for these, but check out the specs that are printed right on the box!

Fr of 60 - 200 hz for the "sub" and 150 hz - 2 kHz for the main and surround speakers are straight up garbage specs, but hey, they print it right on the box!

Wow due! You should get those if they’re still available and do a complete review, complete with measurements and subjective comments. That would be awesome.

What cracks me up about those is they put those awful specs right on the box beside the SRP. Then I thought "well, they ain't lying with specs...". "Honest" white van speakers, lol.

I do not know, but these started out at $149 a pair, then went to $109 a pair, and now are $45.69 a pair ... at least they look better than the Amazon Basics speaker and the passive Edifier speaker ... they seem to be confused on the woofer size, but the cabinets do look to have a little bit of weight to them ... PHHCSD speaker

There isn't jack squat when I search either. I posted a question on the Amazon ad. It's the first one!

It is from this company -- Dezhou Hechuan Audio Equipment Co., Ltd. .... they have sold two pairs of speakers in 11 months ... we will see if they answer your question

And what does this mean?

"With a pair of 4 inch multimedia, immersive surround sound allows you to have an excellent home theater experience"

That's in the description, along with saying 6" drivers but in the image it says 5.25" drivers. Would the "4 inch immersive surround" part be bouncy house atmos speakers on top?

I know ... I would like to look inside their passive speakers and I would expect them to sound bright, but still have not made up my mind ...and they have some powered speakers ... looks like they want to clear their stock

Come on guys! Lets discuss something decent, and not this type of garbage that only brings the industry down. Where are all the great deals out there? The real Bargains!

 

[zieglj01]

The question is, if they sound like crap can you sell them for $40 again.

Yes I did sell them (mystery speakers) for $40 and got my money back

And these look kinda like what @William Lemmerhirt is running but I can't tell what they are for sure. They look like the Northridge series.

Not 1 but 2 pairs of Maggies for only $300 and $350 respectively. I'm not sure if the price for either is worth getting excited over. I'm not very familiar with all the different models they have.

Polk RTI A3 books for only $200. Aren't the RTIs pretty good speakers? That might not be too bad.
