Are these things really as overpriced and under-engineered as everyone
says they are? I see that they sell on Audiogon for around $450 a pair, is the $1600 MSRP a scam? |

Well, I was over at a guy's house today comparing them to his $16,000 Dunlavy SC-Vs. I liked the sound of the Europas better, and it wasn't even as close as I thought it would be. |

A droid's brain has limited versatility. If we were a little luckier, Princess Leila would pop out of his chest and tell him to **** off. |

I see that they sell on Audiogon for around $450 a pair, is the $1600 MSRP a scam? I have heard rumors that they present an ignition hazard. Something flammable inside the speaker. Supposedly, they are a remarkable feat of engineering. The inventor, with no prior experience, designed them on a Hooters napkin on a rainy afternoon. He then verified with his own ears that they are the best speakers ever made. When he gave the design to his builder, the pattern on the napkin was incorporated. This accounts for the strange bulge at the back. |
