Anyone know of William Schaeffer Audio Design?

How about a link?

Think you got ripped off.

Google turns up nothing for that company/person related to Audio. Where did you buy the pair of speakers...are you sure of hte company name? How about providing a URL to the sale item listing so we can have a look and give opinion?

I found an indication at another forum that a William Schaeffer Audio Design stand-mounted monitor was a rebadged and modified version of a Chinese-made Aurum Cantus speaker. So the same thing might apply to your floor-standing speaker. Perhaps you can find it among the models linked to on the left side of this page:

There you go again Ebm. How do you know that he got "ripped off?" Do you even know what it is that he bought?
