    Actually, I'm not kidding. You're going to get a $40 screwing.

    Just how do you know?

    Have you bought these and not mentioned it?

    I imagine the first set of every new speaker (including the good ones) that hits the market are met with skepticism but you never know the good from the bad until someone steps up and reports on the things. I was hoping that someone already had done this, but since no one seems to have done so, $30 or $40 isn't going to exactly break the bank!

    Anyway, we'll know soon enough.

    How do I know? I don't need to do something stupid to know that it's stupid. I've never jumped off a bridge, but I know it's a dumb idea. I've never had $5000 surgery done by someone who said he'd do it for $150. I've never sent money to someone I don't know who promised me a great product that I'd never heard of in an industry that's replete with scammers and rip-off artists who prey on naive consumers and who showed me one picture and promised me I'm getting hundreds of dollars in value for less than $50.

    IOW, if you're determined to run head first into a brick wall, don't come here and ask us if you should do it, and when we tell you "No, you shouldn't," get all uppity with us and say that since we didn't run into a brick wall ourselves, who are we to tell you not to do it.

    Just buy the darn things and either keep silent that you really bought some crappy speakers and wasted your money, or come back and tell us how we're all fools and you are the first person ever who bought into something like this and got just the best product ever. We'll totally believe you.

    So you've never bought a lottery ticket? Never taken a chance at anything at all? I'm not exactly risking the family farm here!

    If someone who had actually listened to the things said not to buy them, I would listen...but when someone just says they must be crap because they are inexpensive then that doesn't amount to too much.

    Well I ended up doing just that and paid about $29 total including shipping for the things. They arrived the other day and I'm niether shocked nor amazed so far. The speakers themselves look like good quality components and the housing is actually fairly nice (just like most other brands with six screw down clamps). In fact, just looking at them from the front you could see the things selling for as much as a low-mid range in wall. The cross over however looks inexpensive and the metal faceplate has some foam backing taped to it which you can tell was cut by hand...of course this doesn't need to stay there so no harm done.

    Anyway, as I no longer have other in-walls to compare them too, I haven't listened to them yet, but I'll try to hunt down something in the low-mid range and see how these stack up then I'll post back along with some pictures of the things.

    EEGADS!! Nice friendly forum, huh? Try AudioKarma.org. They're a little friendlier, and just a touch more helpful. I hope your speakers sound great.
