Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact?


I just bought a pair. Supposedly a guy from the Connecticut Audio Society bought a pair for his video system and couldn't believe how good they are. He was floored.

Come on over Nick, lets put them together.

The only requirement is you bring your kid to help. He was a blast when we were working on your turntable.
I could use a project like this - it would be a nice break from M&A case analysis. If you're seriously up for this one, shoot me an e-mail. JQ will stay at home this time.
No JQ??? How can we have any fun?

He's the only group member that's not uptight about all this audio stuff. How old is he now, five? :^).
I'd be very wary of this speaker. I took a look at the tech specs and it very clearly states that the only language supported was English. So if you're into any opera, world music, foreign films, etc. this is NOT the speaker for you. I guess to keep the price that low they eliminated the Universal Translator circuits.
Picked up a pair yesterday just for fun. If they sound decent I'll pick up a 2nd pair and try stacking them. I'll report back when I play around with 'em a bit.

ALso - The floor models in the store simply say "Made in China" - nothing about assembled in USA, so I'm wondering if (per Eldartford's info) there are already different manufacturing lots to be aware of. I haven't opened my box yet, so don't know about those.
