My housemate just picked up a pair of these speakers from some blokes in a white van outside the entrance to Birmingham uni! They said that their boss had ordered too many and they had a pair left. They asked him to make them an offer and thyey bartered. We realised when we checked the net, They had all the proper brochures and everything, however, psd do not make them! Its a scam! and of course there is no receipt! The speakers themselves dont appear to be too bad! To those keen on their music, theres an obvious distortion in the higher frequency range, but other than that, they sound pretty good, and can handle a good deal of bass! For £200 theyre about average! Nothing special! |

got scammed by these same fu*kers, in the parking lot of an owen sound, ontario burger king, white van, the guy said his boss ordered them for a local bar and that theyre the same ones they use, and he had them left over. we knew it was shady and he showed us the paper and it said the were like 2000 each, so now im pissed to see they fu*ked more than just me over, lets get these as*holes, last seen here i guess Owen Sound, Ontario, somebody get ahold of them and fu*kin shank them |

no comments About the two guys selling speakers from a white, or black van... I think there might be a few teams working here. I got nailed in the streets of montreal dec. 23 by two guy in a very recent black toyota truck. the driver is kind of fake blond, he wears a sky jacket. the other guy looked a bit tanned with very dark air and very calm. I really don't know why I felt for it. I feel so stupid. The speakers are fake. Nothing more than the cheapest materials. They called them psd 2.8 these are not real speaker, they are worth nothing at all. maybe 30.00$ or 40.00$ worth of wood and wires. the guys said they were from calgary, and theyre boss ordered some of these speakers for I don't remember witch company... I saw the brochure and the price 2999.00 CAN. this is a very sad, but true story. ANY information leading to the tracking of these two guys is very important. We must look arround and try to stop these kids as soon as possible. please E-mail directly for any information. I am serious... lucsicard@hotmail.com Similar Products Used: no comments |

These 2 clowns are in the Husky Truck stop on Dixie Road in Mississauga all the time. If you want to catch them they are in a Maroon GM van - I have seen them there at least 5 times. Catch them and club them ..... thanx in advance |

Casing looks ok, decent for first time know-nothing buyers.
Weakness:
Their idiot sales tactics. Anyone looking for the people who sold these, look at Allan Dobbs' review.....he sounds like one of the sales guys. Ferrofluid is a magnetic liquid. To be used properly in a colling solution, it has to be exchanged with a pump constantly, just like every other fluid cooling system. Ever plugged in any power cord or hear the pump through your speaker? Nope. If the fluid sits static against the components, it doesn't cool anything. The "Ferrofluid cooling system" is crap. The speakers themselves are ok....I got them from some guys down on College St in a white van. I only paid 150 for them, so not too worried about that, just don't like their sales tactics. These speakers are NOT worth more than $200 CDN for a pair, which means in the states they're worth a pack of smokes and a cheap american beer. I think anyone who knows where these guys are located should post it. Ask Allan Dobbs though...he looks about right. Similar Products Used: Chinese food, an hour later, you're still left wanting. |

I was leaving Walmart after buying a harness for my car stereo, a guy and a girl pulled me over and wanted me to buy these speakers.The guy followed me right in to the bank and bothered me for money, for the speakers.I pretty much gave him $250 for leaving me alone! |

MY EAR WHEN ITS TURNED UP A GUY AT THE LOCAL U-HAUL CAME UP TO ME AND SAID IF I WANTED SOME SPEAKERS, SO I SAID SURE ILL TAKE A LOOK. HE SAID THEY WERE TOP OF THE LINE. SO I SAID IM NOT GONNA PAY FOR THEM AND HE SAID."OK"/ I WAS SHOCKED THAT I WALKED AWAY WITH A GREAT PAIR OF GRAFDALE 507'S. SO I THINK I GOT THE BEST DEAL OUT OF EVERYONE'S REVIEW... SO, IN CONCLUSION,, "ALWAYS SAY THAT YOU DONT WANT TO PAY FOR A PIECE OF SH$T EVENTHOUGH THERE GREAT SPEAKERS... CYA |

Next I see them I'm going to take a bat to there head Just like everyone else I got suckered into buying some speakers when I was leaving the local Canadian Tire. Something about there boss ordered 5 pairs of speakers and there was 7 pairs in the van and they wanted to get rid of the extra speakers. Good Scam, the fag and his friend even showed a fake receipt and a nice fake brochure saying that that speakers retailed for $1999. So, I gave him $500 to hold them and he said that he would come back to pick them up in a couple days and give me $700 for them. We exchange numbers of course that fag gave fake numbers and I haven't heard from him since. The speakers are still in the box and I don't intend on using them, so I have no idea how good they are. The moral of the story is don't buy your speakers from two people in a white van. |
