Of course, without the "fell off the back of a truck" or "we accidentally ordered too many and the boss won't pay for storage fees", it lacks some of the charm of the original.
The link to Canyon Audio's website in the review goes to a generic site. Looks like they're not in business anymore. Just another fly-by-night operation, it seems.JeremyErwin said:If I remember correctly, the defining feature of most of these scams is a hugely inflated MSRP, often in the thousand of dollars. The scammer calculates that his mark will not be in the least bit familiar with how far thousands of dollars actually goes, and perhaps not even aware of how far a couple of hundred dollars can go, if spent wisely.
A somewhat charitable review of Theater Research speakers
He was banned, he made some posts over the course of a couple of days or something. He made some ignorant comments regarding the XBOX 360 and it is still on the forum. Admin decided to use the post as an example of what not to do on these forums.mylan said:Mike, his posts are being systematically removed, either by him (not likely) or by the mods here (most likely). He does still have posts on another speaker forum but i'll bet they will be gone by today. This "white van scam" cancer is spreading, I just answered a thread here:

I am not sure that they make common practice of removing posts. I think they would only do that if the individual is just here to cause problems. Like spammers, their threads get removed.Mike Frezon said:I see. Must be admins removing the posts because if he was doing it himself the post itself would remain...but the space would be blank. I didn't realize if someone got banned all their posts were removed.
==================
Makes all the sense in the world that eBay (the internet) would be a perfect venue for this kind of speaker marketing. While I understand buying speakers "sight unseen" or "sound unheard" from reputable companies or retailers online, I'm surprised people would make that kind of purchase without even a listen. But, I'm easily surprised.
