White Van speakers, help me if you can.
« on: 21 Jun 2006, 04:57 pm »
Hey guys, I need your help.

There is a news team in the Dallas area that has contacted me and is wanting to do a story on the White Van speaker scams. They have had a lot of people contact them within the last few days that have fallen victim to this scam. They want to do a story on this right away and put out a warning on them.

They contacted me after seeing information on the Dahlton speakers that we posted on our web site.

http://www.gr-research.com/dahlton.htm

They are looking for anyone in the Dallas area, or within a couple of hundred miles, that might have some fallen for this scam, might have purchased some of these speakers or that might have some of these speakers. They would like to bring a pair over for me to measure and test for them so that they can better document the true value of these products.

If you have a pair or know of anyone that does it will be very helpful if they can be loaned to this news team.

Shoot me an e-mail if you can help. info@gr-research.com

Thanks,

Berndt

its bad enough punishment to have bought white van speakers in the first place-

and you want some one to come foward and prove to everyone what a idiot they are :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

then again if they were dumb enough to buy them in the first place- they might be dumb enough to go on tv and tell the world -look at me im a idiot- :wink:

Actually, they don't want them to go on TV and tell the whole world what idiots that they are.

They just want to borrow their speakers for a little while so that they can bring them to me for analysis.

Don't bash these speakers until you try them in your system. So what if they don't have a crossover or the knobs on the back aren't hooked up to anything.I think crossovers just filter out all the good sound, full range is the way to go.
