Everything hundreds of others have said about the speakers is true. I was foolish enough to buy these on the street. I did get my money back though - thanks to some very useful information by James. The new address for Chicago Sundivision is - 144 Eisenhower Lane North, Lombard. They have moved from the Springer drive location. Everything else James says in his posts is true. Just follow his advice, go to the above address and demand youe money back. You will get it.

You know, I''m reading these reviews, and it seems like 75% of you didn''t even open the friggen box, now I understand you''re pissed that you got tricked into thinking you were buying stolen speakers. However, Why the hell are you buying speakers you think are stolen? Second, those of you who actually used them for what the white van men tell you to use them for all agree that they''re nice stuff. Futhermore, where on this planet do you get ANYTHING at manufacturing cost? Get real people, get over the fact you compromised your morals(or at least thought you were) and enjoy the set of speakers you just bought.

Strength:

Teaching you a life long lesson.

Weakness:

These are not speakers, these are sad excuses for crap.

NO GOOD PIECES OF JUNK!! One word.. SCAM!!! One more word... FRAUD!!! If garbage had a name, it would be Acoustic Image 6.5. I should''ve smashed the hell out of these speakers with my hammer, but plugging them in pretty much did the same thing. These speakers are CRAP!!! The driver sales people are CRAP!!! This scam is CRAP!!!

Strength:

they look nice, kind of

Weakness:

dont sound that good, nearly worlthless, sleazy salesmen

I too got duped by getting caught in the moment and hoping for a great deal. the damn salesman just seemed so excited that even though I expected some sort of illegal doings, I pushed those ideas away because I was greedy. The speakers they sold me were Audiofile brand, and since I really know nothing about speakers, it soundd like a legit company. Now I'm stuck with some crappy speakers that I dont want at all (why did I buy them? I have absolutely no need for speakers whatsover!)
Oh, well, at least I learned my lesson and wont be duped again.

As I was walking out of the Best Buy in King of Prussia, PA, two guys selling speakers out of a white van offered me a better deal. Perhaps I was being gullible, but I purchased a pair of Acoustic Image 6.5 Minitower speakers from them. The $300 I shelled out seemed reasonable for "$1200 speakers" (which they assured me they were). Now I find out that they're crap, and I want my money back!

I see that Nick Bower is from the same area, and offers the address of the South Jersey location for Soundvision. I understand that it is a legitmate business, and since it is, I fully intend to get a refund. I was given a receipt and warranty card by "Evan and Louie", who worked from the van, so I am sure that the company will comply with my wishes.

Nick, I emailed you regarding the address. I want my money back ASAP, so if you didn't get it, could you please post it here? The South Jersey location is what I am looking for... Thanks!

Strength:

Sounds half decent actually. The Highs and mids are very good. THe lows are quite poor.

Weakness:

Doesn't bring the nice tight bass that most other name brands deliver. The bass goes more towards the mid levels than true lows.

I fell for the white van scam. Sounded like the deal of a lifetime! AFter putting them next to my Bose 301's however, I realized these are more like $100 or $200 dollar speakers tops!! My bose retailed for $320 and you can get em used on ebay for $200. If you want something comparable, but more complete sound with long lasting quality guaranteed...buy the bose.
I got my money back today and am happy to say it wasn't THAT hard. These people will try to persuade you any way they can so that you won't get your money back, but it is crap.
They work under the name "Soundivision". I am from Philly and if anyone wants to return their 6.5 accoustic image minitowers, I'll tell you the address and how to return them.
Before you go apenutz, know this: these people actually have a legit business and make their money from impulse buying and very smooth sales tactics. All of here are victims....so....
Don't get mad and try to kill these people, they actually work very hard at what they do. However, I felt used and would like to help others who want their refund.
The location I know of is in South Jersey, and I'm guessing this distributor works PHilly, South Jersey...and who knows where else.
If you paid around $200 for yours - you honestly didn't get ripped off too badly. These speakers don't really suck that much.
If you want to know where to go for a refund...drop me an email.
Peace,
NIck
